LG apps for AOSP

Mercvtio · Jan 2, 2014

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://xdaforums.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://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563976
- LG camera : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540030
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522889
- LG quick memo : it seems to be an older version than the one we got on stock, but that one works. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41264383&postcount=20

There are also a couple of mods in this very section :
- QRemote : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2568914
- Qpair also works with a simple build.prop edit : http://xdaforums.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://xdaforums.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.

Found a quick memo app working good. Here it is : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41264383&postcount=20&nocache=1&z=6897549643181264

OP updated.

As for Qremote, I'm not home right now and I can't test it. You could always try this method, it could well work with our Gpad :

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.

Well then, I guess I'll have to get Qremote off the OP... thanks for testing though.

The link the OP gave for Qremote works for some and not for others. It didn't work for me but I can't tell if there were no tv's that worked for mine or the it blaster itself wasn't working. But I know that is not a sure solution.

The feature that I miss most is Wireless Storage. Airdroid will not read my ext SD card

Thank you for this post !
Keyboard LG is missing for me in Mahdi rom

S0mbrero · Jan 19, 2015

Any chance of getting Smart Screen to run? It's really the only feature I miss from my old stock days, and so far I haven't found a comparable app in the play store.

someone can upload a newer version of Quickmemo please? I really like it and there's nothing on the market that even comes close.

stock LG notebook

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.

the81kid · Apr 5, 2015

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.
