I really like some of LG's so-called "Optimus UI 3.0" apps.. and i know that its extremely difficult to port it to other ROMs..
the JB V20a update has (pathetically) slowed down my phone.. so, i am planning to flash CM.. :fingers-crossed:
So, plz suggest me alternatives (free/paid) to LG stock apps, especially..
Video Player
Quick Memo and Memo (Port by arararagi)
Messaging
Camera (Port by iodak)
Dialer
Contacts
thanks, in advance!
MX Player.

Well there is no direct alternative but-
MX Player
Google Keep
Sliding Messeging Pro or Go Messeging
I was going to suggest Google Keep if you like keeping things Google, but I've never used it, nor any other memo app.

mx player, for sure
in CM u still can take screenshots by default. but for notes u'll need google keep.
and why do u wanna change messaging app?!

I use keep. It is beautiful. Nova launcher with Galaxy S4 theme would be just great looking on CM. Stock CM camara is useless.

Does MX Player have the following functions of stock player?
» zoom live video
» change play speed (0.5x, 2x)
» preview another moment of video while playing
» play video in thumbnail
» subtitle support

None of them, exept live zooming in middle is implemented. Someone has to port the app. Wait till anyone does.

Well I have ported QuickMemo, but I have found mx player and the CM stock app apps to be adequate for the remaining functionality.
Please try porting video player app

Good job! :good:
afaik, it's difficult to port stock apps due to their heavy reliance on OS and vendor-specific architecture..
but, i guess, it's not impossible..
Can you please try to port the video player (stock app) to CM or as an independent app for any other ROM?
Thanks in advance!
can anyone port Contacts app, the CM one sucks big time!!!
If everybody need to port almost or all stock LG apps to CM, why don't you go back to use stock ROM? :beer:

a ROM is much more than the stock apps it provides!
CM 10.1 is immensely customizable and versatile.. not to mention it gives you the latest JB 4.2.2 features..
Its updates are also regular and well-tested..
I just want the good features provided by LG (via a few of their stock apps) without the additional bloatware..

What is your favourite Android music player? I'm trying to fish for a new one due to my stock music player being crap, and Winamp getting boring.
Is there a better player than Winamp, or is it the best by far? I am not just talking by what's on the market, custom ROM apps are fair game too.
Try PowerAmp.
The one from Honeycomb, if it worked.
Otherwise the one from Cyanogen 5.

Where can I find a working APK for this? I tried the one from the latest MIUI release (that had to be put in system/app to even install) froze whenever I wanted to enter playlists.
Also, on a side note, is there an APK from HTC Sense?

Whichever one is after they added the new nice graphics, but before the bundled and completely awful video player.

It has last.fm support and synchronized lyrics. All you could want from a music player.
PowerAMP has the best features IMO. Best lock screenwidget , best headset control system, and best UI.
Winamp has a good start but it has not had an update in like 2 months? It has some deal breaking bugs for me, the major one being I cant answer a call if using lockscreen widget.
Poweramp is amazing and a wonderful widget.
The cm music player is best imo. Fantastic widgets.

They don't work, though! I am now using "Music Mod" from the Market, which is CM's music app, updated on a regular basis by its develooer. As far as I've tried, only the 4x2 works consistently... It's a waste, I like the 4x4. This is after 2 increments of bug fixes; CM is still on 1.6 while the market is on 1.8.
MIUI came with my latest ROM install, it is obscenely laggy...
EDIT: Why does everything fail once I post about its brilliance on XDA? 4x2 widget broke...

I have found Mysettings really useful - this was posted by someone else on here (sorry cant remember who). It provides quick access to everything that i need quickly... such as airplane mode, instead of holding the power button, quick access to mobile network settings, brightness, screen timeout as well as the options in the notification bar.
What is quick office pro?

Hi, just a question, it is said on the Pro HDR Camera (from EyeAppsLLC ?) that it couldn'/wouldn't work on our LG phones ? Did you need a certain rom to make it work or did it just work flawlessly upon install ?

Vignette - great photo quality there and better UI than Camera360 i think. At least you can use filters on pictures already taken, not like in Camera360.

About your other question:
You can use an app like nitrality to uninstall the ICS player if you wish.
Player pro is pretty awesome.
does anybody know how to capture video on Lg Optimus 2X? Screencast app doesnt work with tegra 2. are there any other options pls?
I have no idea what you're talking about or how to help you, but it might be nice to post some more info like for example what ROM you are using and kernel.
Well, i think Rom and Kernel dont matter here, i just need to know if there is any chance of recording video (of what im right doing on my phone) and i said i know there is a program for it (called ScreenCast, but this programm doesnt work with Tegra2/3 devices). So my question is, is there any other way to record like that?

eraldo I had trouble understanding what his objective is too, but I think I understand now... he wants to record video of what he's doing on the phone... like fraps for the PC.
You'll have to make due with screenshots I guess...
Tegra 2 does not support NEON, and does not manage the display via a framebuffer so screen video capture isn't possible.

Tablets are different and your device obviously uses a frambuffer the o2x does not, however tegra 2 doesn't support NEON at all.
You may use Droid Explorer or Android VNC Server, for getting video by usb cable on your PC. But for this method frame rate is very low.
I use screen recording software to do that. It is not only able to record onscreen video, but also can take screenshots.
I just flashed my GT-P6800 with QuickSilverCM 0.2 ROM and I found that there's no video player. I tried most of the video player on Google Play but none have the tile preview like the stock video player. How can I get the stock video player back or any other stock system application that I like back? Thank you.
Sorry i am at work without my tab I just wanted to say it would be awesome if we could get the sgs3 stock video player with the pop up video play
edit: I just remembered the stock ics rom posted here didn't have a video player included in it either. Maybe samsung is trying to get the pop-up player to work and isnt there yet.
I can pull the apk from my tab for you, but seeing that you are using a CM9 rom, the app won't work since it needs touchwiz.

Nevermind then. I just reflash with stock ICS for now until I found a better video player. (Have to do this since my 2 years old daughter always play with this tablet to watch videos)
MX player
Try download MX player form Market , it's awesome
Try Zeta 3.0
