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 :
- QRemote : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568914
- 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.

Hello guys,
I have been reading this forum for quite a while and found a lot of useful information here.
So, first of all thank you to all the guys who put some hard work in developing those programs to make our lives and our smartphones better!
So here goes nothing. Just got this LG Optimus LTE phone some days ago.
And it is packed full with apps I don't need and that Docomo prevents us to remove them. Thanks to this the batteries goes bye bye even faster than expected.
So I would love to get root access to get full control.
like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376233&page=6
I read some threads, followed some methods -like 4 or 5 different ones- but nothing worked so far... Anyone who had success in that matter?
Really want to get an Optimus LTE (L-01D) but need to know I can root it first.
type this URL in your browser: i can't post links yet. logsoku.com/thread/anago.2ch.net/smartphone/1324176244/
these guys seemed to have tried everything. Scroll to #45, doesn't look like the Japanese version can be rooted.
they tried a bunch of things as well but to no avail.
I'm just curious, but the reason why I want to root it is so that I can get the nook app on it so I can read. I was able to use VPN to download apps on my HTC Desire HD, but when i got the Arrows Tab LTE, i wasn't able to use VPN to get the Nook app. is it possible with the Optimus?

I don't use this app, so that would be a tough question to answer.
Thing is, since docomo pretty much installed and configured the phone as they liked -with a crappy Home, slow as hell, that can be changed though- I am wondering if they would charge you extra for tethering.
They might have installed something to check on that. But this is just a random guess.
After a lot of research, I found this thread:
h t t p : / / houchi.net/products/l01-root
I tried and I successfully managed to root my phone following the instructions.
Heads up, it's all in Japanese BUT, if you just download the archive file and read the content of the files at the root of the folder with a text editor, you can just copy/paste the different instructions to make it work.
If it's too much trouble for some people, contact me and I will try to put the instructions somewhere else in english and with the Mac version of command line (really the same as for Linux).
Did not have time to have fun with it yet, but I removed some of the crap that the carrier bundled with the phone.
I will still have to look why it takes forever to start comparing to a Galaxy S for example (4 minutes is way too long...).
i tried and not successfully, only install Supper Use. You can explain for my by English, more more details
superuser wont work without root, try gingerbreak?
I just got my hands on the latest LG P940 (Prada 3.0) - I was wondering if anyone knows how to successfully root this phone, as I am completely and utterly new to the Android OS.
I haven't been able to find any information on this phone.
Please advice. Thank you!
I too am interested in any developments

Update:
I tried to root P940 using the SuperOneClick - and just as I thought that it could probably work... It hung up at Step #7 and just displayed "waiting for device"
As such, I can confirm that SuperOneClick will NOT root this particular device.
Any advice on how to root the P940 would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you
Use superoneclick 1.7 with rageagainstthecage.
Before start you should run LG pcsuit.
I don't know why the lower version works, but it really works.

Hows the battery life? THinking about getting it.
Thx
Battery life is definitely shorter than Galaxy S II. Doesn't last me a day, maybe slightly more than half. Now trying to find a way to root so i can remove certain apps & hopefully increase it's lifespan.
Haven't used the s2. Have a lumia 800 and galaxy nexus. Any comparison with those? Thanks

What about the camera?
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I use this phone daily for work. Just over a day, maybe a day and a half of moderate usage which is an improvement on the optimus 3d.
Phone is very smooth and benefits from the extra ram over the 3d (doubled to 1gb for the prada device).
Have to say i like it but can't imagine it having much of a dev scene due to limited numbers of the phone available
Edit the camera is decent and stacks up well to the likes of the S2 quite happily, 8mp with a good response/shutter time, auto and touch focus and a half decent flash.

I've tried googling for a valid download link for SOC1.7 but every link that I found was blocked by my NOD32.
Did I found invalid links? or is it normal for NOD32 to block it.

I think you might have found something that is not SOC1.7 - because I didn't really have a problem with the root whatsoever, when using rageagainstthecage.
For anyone interested in the battery life for LG P940, I get a full 24 hours at the minimum. I have attached the 'battery chart' if anyone cares to look. My phone use involves WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Facebook, Google+, Facebook Messenger, Emails, Google Music (streaming). More so, my emails are set to auto-refresh every 1 hour. And all the push notifications, for everything, is always on. The only thing that I tend to leave off is the GPS and locations.
The camera itself is pretty decent - although I am not a huge fan of the native application that it comes with. As such, I have started using Camera360 Ultimate, to make the best use of it.
The phone's interface and interaction is fairly smooth - haven't had any issues (as of yet).

yes you are right but most of the posts and topics look nice, neat and clean.
and I think something is still better than nothing....
what do you say?
compared to the browser....you'd have to argue the need for this, it was designed for the phone (GS3) and all that's been done is ported from there. If they developer made a bespoke tablet version then it'd be nice. but hey, thats my beef with ICS at the moment, many apps are stretched and look wrong
I like it alot.... Thanks for sharing,I hadn't seen the other thread so glad to have the app on my og evo and touchpad

I was working on it.... Never got it right, as it appears I was only able to change the UI fonts. The article fonts themselves appear to be set remotely and just displayed locally. So it didn't even fix the biggest issue with the fonts which is in the articles themselves. It only fixed the UI and header fonts. I was going to post the APK anyway, but I found a force close error when trying to add new feeds, so that made things not so nice. Add to that the fact that for some reason, the APK wasn't installable unless I re-signed it, that makes it difficult to switch between versions without uninstalling/reinstalling, I decided not to post the modified APK.
If a developer type wants, I can send the modified APK directly. I'm not going to post it here because it's A) not stable and B) didn't achieve the intended purpose anyway, and C) I don't want to have to support something that's broken/unfinished.
Anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an APK can do the same thing I did. All I did was reduce the font sizes in the XML layout and values files. As I said though, that didn't have any effect on the actual article content, which appeared to be defined remotely.
Hello friends, I am Naveen Naushad, an indie Android developer from India. I developed this app for G3, with which you can change the Volume button launch apps when the phone is locked, that too without root access.
A user tested it on T-Mobile G4 and confirmed it is working correctly. You will be able to modify the Volume Up action to toggle flashlight, launch a different app (instead of QuickMemo+) or even open a custom launcher shortcut. Unfortunately Volume Down cannot be changed as LG hardcoded it to launch camera, starting from Lollipop. Most people are ok with that as they need to change QuickMemo+ only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp
Requirements:
Stock LG ROM (or ROMS based on it)
QuickMemo installed and working properly
Not compatible with official flip case
Request:
If you like the app, please rate, review and +1 it at Google Play Store. That will increase the visibility of the app tremendously.

I am not rooted so I cannot extract the APK. Moreover there is a chance that the APK for G4 might be different from G3, so it is best you get it from a G4 user himself.
By the way, if you are running stock LG ROM, there is an app called Updater, from which you can install QuickMemo.

I have unfortunately not been able to remember exactly which dev made this apk, plus i've smallied and stringed some parts onto it for the Nex.
I am sharing a Google drive link for it along with the screenshot of the configuration that I use.
Hope it helps.
