I did a search for apk's to try out on my newly rooted Nook and came across this post so I thought I share it here, I'm planning to try out a few of these and see if I can get any of them to work and thought I'd post the link here in case anyone else wants to give it a shot.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712594
Also here is a link to the droid X multitouch keyboard apk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709948
When I get a chance to try some of these out (hopefully later today), I report back with my findings.
Please let us know. It would be great to use some of these...

I tried gmail, it installs but it doesn't run. Guess I'll need to install a few other items along with it. Tried live wallpaper too, that doesn't install.
k-9 email works much better for emails.. i got it off of applanet.
Site with direct .apk downloads that work
There is a bunch of freeware .apk's that you can download directly from this site:
vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android (I can't post links yet two v's = one w)
Including gesture search from google which I installed and it works great on the NC.
Here is the link: vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android/app/gesture-search
Gesture Search 1.2.1 seem to be the latest available version. Below you can find file(s) assigned to this version:
Gesture_Search_1.2.1.apk (807 KB, ↓ 445)
As far as the files from the Galaxy S: I haven't had much luck but I only tried a few. My main concern is trying to find a working calendar app that will sync with my google calendars and a working gmail app. I got the calendar app installed and have the same icon I have on my phone but when I tap the icon nothing happens. For now I'm using K-9 email and it seems to get the job done but I'm still searching for a fix for the google apps.
hey jm20,
how does this gesture app works? is it using strokes or something like that?
gesture app
It basically indexes your files then you use your finger to write a letter on the screen corresponding to the file name you are looking for and the program starts to filter the results, it works rather well and is pretty quick. If you have a bunch of unorganized files on your nook it could really save you time. If you are very organized and know exactly which file is in which folder the app won't really be of any great use to you. Hope that helps.
I have been using dolphin HD 4.0 browser which also uses gestures for navigation and it works great. Seems to be more accurate than the stock browser, as far as screen tapping on links go (probably just my imagination though) and it has built in pinch to zoom.

jm20, thanks for explaining , it is quite clear now
Hi all,
I made a flashlight application for Defy. Check it out...
MyTorch
QR Codes for Market and AppBrain are attached.

The non-root method doesn't work here (Barebones 1.5.1 mod). The root method does.
I checked the Barebones 1.5.1 thread. It seems some users are having issues with the camera. If you have a camera related problem then non-root method will not work as it uses camera related APIs to get the flashlight on.
BTW: I use CM7 b6 and this app works fine on that.
Well, I don't have camera problems. It takes pictures, it records video. And before seeing this thread, I had "Search Light" installed which also uses the camera API, and it worked.
Well, could still be Barebones related. In which case, Barebones users should then opt for a different torch app (it's not like there's a shortage of those in the market ) or use the root method. I will keep MyTorch, the root method works great.
nice app. would be great to have a widget for easy access
Cool app, \ty

Or well... I can try to fix that for Barebones. I am working on a fix, will update soon.
The problem is I use my personal phone for personal and dev use... so I can't keep switching ROMs but I'll try to solve that issue.

So, I decided to flash cm11 on my v500, and I love it so far. I still felt it lacked some LG features, so I went and looked in the G2 forums. This is what I found working so far, tested with official CM11 nightlies :
- LG keyboard : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508384
- XPosed knock-off feature (double tap on the status bar to turn the screen off thanks to Xposed framework) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563976
- LG camera : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540030

- LG quick memo : it seems to be an older version than the one we got on stock, but that one works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41264383&postcount=20
There are also a couple of mods in this very section :

- Qpair also works with a simple build.prop edit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571429
Some other things might be working, such as the LGEhome apps, but I didn't feel the need to try. Feel free to roam the LG G2 apps and themes section and to report what's working, I will edit the first post with them. With a bit of luck, we can end up with an index of LG apps for Aosp roms. You can start scanning through this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591077
Now if someone could find a way to get QuickMemo working, I would be totally happy. Edit : got it ! Cheers !
PS : of course, I claim no credit whatsoever for any of these mods. All I did was read, download and flash ; all credit goes to whoever it belongs.

I can officially vouch for that NOT working. Tried it on my G Pad and the installers ran into errors everywhere with the LGQRemote.apk.
I even tried flashing it but it didn't show up in the apps so I assume it failed.

Hello, can anyone tell me where to find the stock LG G Pad 8.3 notebook app apk. I put Cyanogenmod 12 on my tablet (much smoother now). The stock tablet really had too much bloatware and useless apps. But I really did enjoy the notebook app. If someone could show me where to find it, many thanks in advance!

You must be on the V500 or V510 since there's no CM 12 for my VK810.4G - all variants of the G Pad 8.3, so I can't provide the needed file(s), but any stock LG or other OEM app as a rule will not work with a different build of Android, as they require LG's framework files and probably other things and although you might be able to put those files in CM 12, they still won't automatically just start working.
Usually someone who wants to run some app that's not made for the version of Android you're running (CM instead of LG) need to port the app which means fiddling with it, decompiling it, reverse engineering it - generally a huge amount of effort.
Not trying to dissuade you from trying but just wanted to impress upon you that trying to run stock LG apps on a non-stock LG ROM is an uphill battle not easily solved.
All that being said, I prefer Google Keep for notes since it works with any Android build, and any PC that can run Google Chrome. You might even be able to access Google Keep without having Chrome installed if necessary - not sure, plus it has some of the power of other Google Doc apps, being able to share, etc.
Thanks for the quick response. I'd guessed what you've just confirmed for me: that each version of Android, and even each stock Android version inside these different benchmark versions (if that's what they're called?), need their software tailor-made. I've found a few apk for LGNotebook, but you're right, they don't work on my modded Cyanogen 12 G Pad. However, I did find an LGNotebook.apk for an LG G3 (or perhaps G2) which was running Android 5, and that DOES work on my tablet. However, their are screen size and stability issues, which seem to make it unusable really. I guess I'll wait for LG to release their Lollipop update later this year, and fingers crossed I'll find the Notebook app somewhere and it should work on Cyanogen 12.
Thanks too for suggesting Google Keep. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a useful note app(!). I'd love to find something simple like the LGNotebook app (which isn't all that simple, but you can copy and take photos quickly) or a hierarchical or even mindmap notebook that's just simple and functional without bells and whistles and an awful UI. I'll check out Google Keep. Thanks again.
You're welcome, and good luck in your search. Hopefully Google Keep will keep you happy. I use it all the time at home and work on PCs and on my phone and tablet. I don't use Windows Sticky Notes anymore, much easier to stick with Keep since it syncs to the cloud without any workarounds, and you can pin Google app icons to the taskbar so they're just as accessible.
Every build of Android that's not pure AOSP is actually merely based on Android. So they're similar, and even similar enough to run things that are meant to run on all of them, but each OEM like LG, Samsung and even Cyanogenmod, puts their own custom spin on Android with some apps that require frameworks and libraries that are made just for them.
It's like Linux. Well, Android is a version of Linux. But Linux for PCs, there's many flavors. Ubuntu, Red Hat... all based on the same thing.

Need QUICKMEMO apk for lenovo A6000 plud
Previously I used LG L90 D410 smartphone and my notes are stores in QUICKMEMO plus and I took backup. Now I changed my mobile to Lenovo A6000 plus and now can't restore my old notes from which I taken as backup file. Please help me, need QUICKMEMO PLUS.apk. Anybody developed please mail me to [email protected]. thanks.
Hi all, I was trying @engine95 wifi tether hotspot hack but it didn't work for me. Anyway I have an APK that I used on my old Optimus G. For the Optimus you had to change a bunch of settings, but for the G3 it worked immediately (I didn't touch the settings).
Notes:
1. I have a stumped bumped stock v4 sprint G3 (had to downgrade from v6, what a pain!)
2. I *did* follow the directions in the other post (adding ",dun" to two places in a hidden menu) before using my apk instead, so if for some reason this doesn't work for you, maybe go through the other thread's instructions first, then open the apk?
Let me know if this works for you! Hope it helps.
But if you follow the other threads instructions, you don't need any extra apk, it's handled natively.

Yeah, as I mentioned, his approach did not work for me. It may not work for others. Plus, to be honest, I kind of love the apk. Very smooth and it tells you how much data you've used. But to each his own, of course. Also, since his approach didn't work for me, I have no basis of comparison, so maybe is better... If It works.

[MOD][XPOSED]Unclutter IG - Hide Instagram ads & sponsored content [v1.2][2019-08-11]
Remove the clutter from your IG experience -- this Xposed module hides advertisements and promoted content from your Instagram feed and stories.
Also has bonus option to clean up the Explore (search) page; choose to stop showing all those suggested posts from public accounts.
As of 08/11/2019, confirmed to support latest release 105.0.0.18.119.
This module automates the process of intercepting and hiding the unwanted content, and shouldn't rely on specific IG versions to function properly.
However, if newer IG versions begin to break functionality, module updates should hopefully follow soon to keep up with the changes.
Note: Beyond the standard ads, 'paid partnership' branded content refers to any posts that are officially labeled as 'Paid partnership with [company]'.
Changelog
v1.2 - 8/11/2019:
• Added international support for hiding ads
v1.1 - 8/03/2019:
• Revised approach for finding the Explore page hooks; should support latest IG versions
v1.0 - 07/12/2019:
• Initial release
Xposed repository: https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.tremendo.unclutterig
Source code at GitHub: https://github.com/TremendoX/UnclutterIG
Thank you for creating this module! Seems to be working fine for me on IG 100.0.0.15.120. This is the first one I've tried that works flawlessly! Instagram usually drives me mad with all the adverts and suggested rubbish. :victory:
Woah!! Thanks for this awesome module!! (If XInsta merged with this, it would be the best Instagram mod out there!)
Thank you for this amazing module!
Finally I can remove all the bullsh*t on Insta.
Using this version of Instagram
Fantastic module, really appreciate your work!
Works like a charm on the latest version (101.0.0.15.120). Absolutely no ads are present in the feed or stories! Excellent work @Tremendo Slap! Big thanks!
works fine on GBinsta as well.... Can you do anything about the sponsored posts in stories in the upcoming versions?
@Tremendo Slap @xkip you guys should work together since you are making the same xposed module.
Finally! A 100% reliable method to block ads on Instagram. The integration is seamless too, no side effects at all. Thanks for this awesome module!

It's a false positive, you can safely ignore it.
New version 1.1 released, should support IG v104.0.0.21.118.
I noticed when I updated to that version, the module wasn't hiding the Explore page anymore. Some things changed internally, so I took a new approach to detecting whether I'm in the right areas of the Explore page. It's somewhat more hackish, but it should hopefully be more reliable moving forward.

They don't show up for me. I'm using the latest stable version of Instagram. Do note that this module is intended to work on the official version of Instagram, not a modded version (ike GBInsta, etc.) with which it may or may not work since the app is already modified.
I can't make it work is it because I'm using French language and so it can't recognize the sponsored post ??
The one from xkip works but stories are cut in half (the profile icon)
@Tremendo Slap I'm getting sponsored Ads when looking at stories too. It's happens when you look at one story after another.

*Forehead slap* Yes, because when I started making this mod for myself, it never even occurred to me to consider other languages! I was using a hardcoded string.
Pretty dumb oversight on my part. I've made the change in the latest version 1.2.
Thanks for letting me know!
