[Q] LG G2 on T-Mobile - General Questions and Answers

I had the Nexus 6 and switched to this just to get a lower EIP
1. I used the .apk for Facebook so I didn't have to use messenge . I thought it would work on Android 4.0 and on....to no avail. Was I mistaken. It won't work
2. I also can't get scrolling to work on LG G2 with Nova. It does work with the default launcher. I searched and found things about stopping scrolling but not about this
Thank You Much

Yes it works on stock 2.2 just fine. You pay for it through paypal, then will be given an activation key.
You can buy it through their site - Sorry I can't post a link apparently my account hasn't been verified.

Download the ordinary Launcher Pro and then go the the launcherpro site and purchase the Pro version (there is an option to use Paypal). You will be emailed a code that you enter into the Launcher Pro app on your phone which unlocks the Plus features.
I too can't link to the site, but a quick search or link from the Market or AppBrain takes you there.
thanks guys
trying it out
works great
just a pity it cant see htc sense widgets
then it would be perfect

there are no sense widgets outside HTC Sense (rosie).
But you'll find a few acceptable alternative widgets in the marked / within launcher pro plus
I thought the same when I first tried it but then noticed how the home screen rotates and customization is more extensive the dock can have custom icons also its much faster than HTC sense it can be set to go faster (between home apps etc...)and can have a bunch of screens.

[Q]Some questions about basic app, need help

Well i got my android phone a week ago (motorola defy) and ever since i've been finding out some lag and some minor problems with the apps running on it. The slide lock lagged but i installed a new one with widgets and it works just fine. Now i need some advices about other ones.
1. Youtube stock app for android 2.1: When the video loads and i move the bar within the place where the video had been loaded, but guess what, it gets stuck and does the loading again, and not like the windows browser's youtube...Is it suppose to be that way?
2. The keyboard is kind of hard to type with and i've been looking at some keyboard layouts but whenever i installed one, it said that it'll record whatever i'll type so in a way is it dangerous? because when i type my password on internet, does it get sent over to some website or is it totally safe?
3. Also I'm using launcher pro, it works fine but i was wondering if the stock launcher is working in the background as well which can cause lag along with launcher pro?
4.Also my stock browser laggs sometimes when it's zoomed in. So i would need some suggestions about another faster browser?
Thanks for any kind of help and advice
funny, i expected something from you guys as my questions are one of the common questions...or is someone can't be bothered here to help me out? ...

1. No idea...
2. Its safe, no worries, slideit is imo the best keyboard. But there are a lot of alternatives.
3. The stock launcher is in sleep I assume, with Home Switcher you can swop. When only 2 or 3 launchers installed your system doesnt lag. Or you can freeze it with titanium backup, not sure if it can do any harm when you freeze your stock launcher.
4. Try miren browser, it is really good.

thanks alot for your help, really appreciated it.
About the youtube stock app, what i basically mean is that, when a youtube video on computer on any browser...is loaded completely (red color strip). You can freely move the circle thing within the red color stripped which basically mean that that part is loaded can be be watched freely. BUT with my stock youtube application, that's not how it works. If i move the cursor a bit, it just hangs there and then i have to start the video from the beginning, loading and alll that. So i wanted to know if there's a good alternative youtube app with cache? so that once the video is loaded (when connected to internet), you can watch it even if you have no internet connection at that time...

[Q] Getting rid of TouchWiz & Samsung UI

Hey everyone,
I love my Infuse but the only thing is I absolutely HATE TouchWiz. I love HTC's Sense but unfortunately AFAIK there isn't a way of getting that on here.
Anyways back to my main point, what is the easiest way to get rid of TouchWiz and Samsung's Dialer, E-Mail Client and SMS Client? I much prefer the stock Android version of everything so if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great.
My phone IS rooted BTW incase that makes things easier
Thanks!
CM 7 is in the process of being ported to the infuse, check the development section - still doesn't have all bugs worked out yet, but that's your only alternative to TouchWiz
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Until CM7 is available you could change the launcher and use market apps to do SMS, Email, etc...
Just delete/move or freeze the APKs using a root-enabled file explorer or Titanium Backup. Then you can install some alternative apps, lockscreens, and launchers.
Alternatively, you might want to check out some of the ROMs in the dev section. You can easily get a close-to-AOSP feel with Infused v2 and the lockscreen addon.
Yeah I'm always watching the CM7 thread to see what's new, etc.
Am I able to get the AOSP APK's for the dialer, sms and e-mail from somewhere? I would change my launcher but without the AOSP APK's I don't see the point
I am currently on Infused V2 with the lockscreen addon, just want to get rid of the Samsung feel ;-)
Thanks for everyone's help!
the dialer and contacts would be difficult to permanantly change. way back designgears tried an aosp look rom for the captivate and he wasn't able to change the dialer. you can get go contacts/dialer which is a single app much like aosp with added features and is themeable.
you can change the sms to aosp I believe but I'm not sure why you'd want to, it is really limited. there are many market apps you can use. go sms pro and handcent are very popular.
and there are many launcher in the market for you to choose. the gingerbread one from Eugene373 is same as gtg puts in his roms I believe.
I guess I will just wait until CM7 is all ready
I like simplicity, I think the Samsung SMS, E-mail and dialer are way too bloated. I look at it this way, if the main used functions of my phone are simple and basic then I won't have too many problems with the phone with daily use.

well it sounds like you might like go dialer/contacts then, it has some additional features but isn't very complicated at all. only issue is that every time it gets upgraded the defaults get cleared and you need to set them back to go contacts for like 4-5 different scenarios. it is a good app but the defaults system on android can get annoying. and I do believe aosp sms will work on this phone, just haven't seen it tried. it was done many times on the sgs phones because earlier versions of tw sms had weird problems with the time stamps, especially on custom roms, that and the theme was pretty gross.
Well I know SMS is possible for sure because I was using Refuse 1.7 before I upgraded to Infuse and it has the AOSP SMS which was nice
Hopefully CM7 gets finished up sooner than later
As mentioned, you have many options in the market...
popular launcher apps
go launcher
zeam launcher (i use on nook)
launcher pro (i use on infuse)
adw launcher (have on my son's phone)
android 2.3 launcher
SPB Shell 3D (looks like an amazing launcher)
and more
sms
chomp
go
handcent (i use)
and more
Dialers
I rarely make calls so I have not really looked into changing the dialer.

I think the only stock apps I've replaced are the launcher, and the browser (Google Now Launcher, and Chrome Beta, respectively)
the stock apps are quite good
I replaced the stock SMS app. Couldnt stand that there was no quick reply. I went to CM sliding from TeamBlackout. But now I'm using 8sms. Has lots of options.... quick reply, dark theme and also options to adjust the LED notification blink speed which helps a lot. Oh and of course got did of the launcher and installed Nova.

since you're rooted,
AdAway (here on XDA)
Xposed (here on XDA)
LG G3 TweakBox (in PlayStore as "G3 TweaksBox" - needs Xposed)
Greenify if you want, but i'm getting decent battery life without it so far (coming from an SGS4)
PlayStoreFixes (Xposed mod- change DPI to show apps that now say not compatible since G3 dpi is so high)
for SMS i'm using Handcent, Nova for launcher
Thanks for all the replys. I will try those. Any good recommendations for notifications on lockscreen. The stock doesn't seem to show all the apps notification on lockscreen. I dl slide lock but there are some things I personally don't like.

[Q] I want a mostly stock D850 rom with the Nexus dialer

I like the G3 interface and many of the features. I prefer less bloatware than AT&T comes with and I don't need all of Goofles crap either, but I an get rid of them. I just want a rooted ROM with the Nexus dialer. I've tried most of the ROM's posted here and none of them have it. I don't really want to use a 3rd party launcher to do it so any suggestions? Anything I might have missed?
You can get .apk from here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...ll-it-manually-on-other-kitkat-roms-download/ i used the flashable version on cloudy v1.2 and just go to app drawer and move phone to home screen(blue icon not green one)
I'll give this a try...
But from what I've read you can't fully replace the stock dialer and the caller I'd feature doesn't work. It's worth a shot though, thanks.
