Recommendations for apps/launchers/etc. - Sprint LG Optimus G

Alright folks,
As a Customer Service Associate for a Sprint Preferred Retailer I'm supposed to know it all right? So I feel like a dummy for coming and asking for help from you guys the community, not a true tech issue but related. I've already ordered my LGOG (I got one of only 100 that were made available through our insider channel and now I'm just waiting on it to ship and arrive) but I'm kinda wondering a few things and maybe looking for opinions from the community, so I'll throw out what I wanna know and if you guys could help me out that'd be awesome.
First off, I have a few apps that I know I'm going to HAVE to have to make sure I can not only sell the phone itself but also the Sprint Service as a whole. I haven't ever gotten anything like a benchmark test app before so I need to know what the best benchmark app out there is (to have on hand for people who are REALLY deep techie types who wanna know about benchmark speeds and what not) that's not only easy to understand but not too tough on battery life?
Second, this is a very deep and I'm sure very divisive question but if you guys could give me some of the best pros and cons on the best launchers out there for the Optimus G. Not saying I'm going to go away from the stock one but if I wanted to show off the phone in a different way, what ones would give me the best of just about everything from being able to be customized to not slowing down the phone or draining the battery?
Third, on the flip side from question 1, are there any apps I should be looking into to replace the stock apps (i.e. camera, default SMS app, etc) and are there any that you guys think can really showcase the abilities of the phone as a whole that you would recommend downloading?
In advance I wanna say thanks to any and all of you who choose to answer, I'm new to the Optimus G community, coming over from a Samsung Epic 4g with RandomROM but I look forward to any info or opinions you all can give me.
Thanks again.

Most people prefer to use Quadrant/Antutu to benchmark their devices. These benchmarks have been known to be somewhat inaccurate and not reflect real world usage, but it's enough to satisfy the techie nerds at your store.
I think the best launcher is Nova Launcher, but it completely varies from person to person. Go Launcher EX is also a good one. I haven't played around with the stock launcher on the LG Optimus, yet. So I'm can't comment on that.
Thing is, about question 3, cameras function on both hardware and software. You can have the hardware for a perfect camera, but software can limit you. I've heard HDR camera and camera ZOOM fx are really good and puts your camera on the edge. I would try both of those out (I think Camera FX zoom is a paid app.)

About to buy a Touch Pro 2

Hey guys, im coming from android to the winmo world, because im kind of getting tired of it.
i love having keyboards, and a nice solid feeling phone, therefore i went for the Rhodium.
I have 1 question though. I have had some abusive ex-girlfriends who always try to call and text me, and of course it upsets my current girlfriend and myself. Android has an app called Super Private Conversation(SPC), which allows you to blacklist certain numbers, and it automatically sends calls from that number to your voicemail, and it marks you sms messages as a private conversation, therefor you never get a notification.
anyways, my question is, if i get the Touch Pro 2, is there a way to block calls and sms from certain numbers?
thanks!any help is appreciated!
*edit: Also, im sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section, im not used to this part of the forum, so please move it accordingly. thanks!
Blackballer
interesting. i would buy android now. tp2 is ok i suppose, just way too slow. the timor rom is faster than the original tmobile rom. still, tp2 need 50% faster cpu.
what you did not like in the android?
sorry, i have no answer to your question.
check this also
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/1629/block-unsolicited-incoming-calls-with-call-block-1-01.html
there are many apps for WM, .. btw, have you considered Samsung OmniaPro B7610? ... it has QWERTY keyboard 800MHz Processor, AMOLED Display, and ofcourse Windows Mobile 6.5.
read some reviews and compare Touch Pro2 with OmniaPro B7610 before you make your final decision
cheers
Thanks for the replies guys!
There is not one thing i dislike about android, honestly. But im on tmobile for another year and a half, and im not a fan of their mobile selection. I currently have the Moto Cliq, but it doesnt have enough development surrounding it, and its very slow and laggy. The G1 is outdated. And the new nexus one doesn't have a keyboard.
So really, im just looking for the nicer phone with the most customization, and i feel as if i will get that with the touch pro 2
Try Ringo. Ringo can assign different ring tones including silence for both calls and SMS. I am happy with it.

just wait, with the cliq being rooted now, there are devs that are working fast to get custom ROMs out. I know there are ppl like justanotherdev working and manup456 and CC are working also. modmymoto.com is a good place to check out cliq developments if you havent been there yet, check it out. it may save your cliq.

ya i know, im on modmymoto everyday. there hasnt been anything significant in a couple of weeks. theres a sense hero, but the dev is having problems with the radio. then there are 2 generic ROM's with a couple of changes, but nothing significant.

Blackberry 6 style ROM possible?

As the title states, is there a possible way of porting over a similiar Blackberry 6 styled ROM over? Although I am not a fan, the MIUI ROM is extremely popular and has an i*honeish feel to it and in some instances, can even be made to look like one.
I know there are theme's (not very good one's in my opinion) available on the Market, but i'm talking about having a similiar interface as that as what you would see on the new Torch, not just icons.
I'm currently running Myn's warm two point two Z beta and love this site as well as my DINC for it's awesomeness, but being an ex BBerry user, I think this would seriously present a challenge for some DEV out there looking for one and would be greatly appreciated by many on this site being that many have made the jump over the Android from BBerry.
Maybe i'm crazy and maybe this thread gets deleted, but there would certainly be nothing like this if created. Just a thought!
I think that this could certainly attract new users to rooting and ROM flashing, but as a recovering BB addict, I might have taken a lot longer to find all the other great ROM's which leverage all that Android can be...

I'd have to agree. My take on it is that if you really, really want the crackberry interface, then you should own a crackberry. Our Dinc's aren't iPhones, and they're not BB's. Trying not to be sounding rude, but maybe you bought the wrong phone?
I came to Android from BB, and have had them for years. At some point you just have to move on. Kicking and screaming maybe

I have MIUI because I for the longest time wanted an iPhone (getting one in Feb.), but theres nothing wrong with wanting. There isn't a phone on VZW running bb 6 currently, and simply wanting a phone that appears to look like bb 6 is what he wants. There isn't a WP7 on VZW and yet people make those themes and you all aren't *****ing at them.
Sorry man, there isn't one right now, but if you found enough theming elements you could probably make a close copy. Good luck.
Sidekick, thanks for backing me up. But in reality fellas I was simply posting the thread to see if there was any interest in pursuing development for such a ROM.
Even though I came from BBerry I dont actually want my awesome DInc to perform or be one for that matter, but you can't deny this wouldnt be a challenge to anyone wanting a change in developing ROM's.
This site is awesome and so is the work our Dev's do day in day out. Having said that, I dont want an iphone nor bberry, just simply presenting a challenge to my fellow colleagues

I don't know why you would want to disgrace your phone with a Blackberry rom. Blackberry OS is horrible. Only good thing I could see is it would actualy be on good hardware for once...

MIUI is soo popular considering it is an iPhone copy. I don't see why a proper WP7 or BBerry 6 ROM wouldn't be a hit. It's all about trying out new things and what not. Best of all, this would seriously represent such a challenge to any Dev out there and that is the reason we all love XDA right, because they do crazy things possible. I simply was throwing the idea out there to hear people's feedback on it. I love my DInc and wouldn't trade it for anything else, maybe except for the new Thunderbolt!

giving up on this device

im giving up on this optimus lte, im selling it, or trading for a galaxy nexus,
the dev community seems slow, and not any CUSTOM roms, just de-bloated stock roms, there isnt even a real promise of ICS, just a TBD... and i just feel i like the nexus overall better then this anyways, to much hassle over rom flashing and potential corrupting of the filesystem which cause's softbricks and me alot of headaches....
the nexus just seems so much more custom rom friendly
Thanks for letting us all know. I'll alert high command of the situation.
was a smarta$$ reply really needed... typical tho, shoulda been expected from a newbie to the forum...
You were mistaken in thinking anyone here cares. What does making this thread accomplish? Are you trying to make other people give up too? I just don't see the point in posting this. You're just going to get negative replies from Nitro HD fans. And it's not like you've contributed anything, either.
why the need for bashing eh ?
does it make you feel better??
the point was to just state that this particular device was no longer of interest to me, and for some that have maybe read my issues with device and the fact that there is not many that are dev'ing for the device, that maybe some would reconsider getting one, not everyone needs 100% POSITIVE loyal fan love bs, some would love to hear and see the truth about issues and such as they wouldnt want to be stuck with something that would cause them problems in the future,
and for another " youve not contributed anything either " comment... for your personal information, im learning android coding, apps, and os information right now, ive been to college for video game design and development and web design... and its people like you that make me not want to contribute anything.. negative remarks, rude comments, and overall bashing of a person is not helpful, nice, or deserved...
so maybe in the future... YOU should think first before typing and learn that everyone starts somewhere... and stuff like this, makes me not want to contribute,...
anyways, point in case, im trading my lg-p930 tonight with my friend for his galaxy nexus, im sure ill be happier with it as ill be able to code for it and learn to dev alot easier with an official google branded device...
if you dont like this thread... DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR... DONT POST IN IT
BTW, I've been around in this forum for a while now, since early days of htc's and win mobile rom cooking, ive made some of my very own personal winmo roms for my htc diamond and previous oldies,
and i do know what im doing with this stuff as its been a sort of hobby for me to mess with stuff and not keep it stock, something always has to be messed with in my collection, and all i was basically trying to state was that i gave up on this device for learning to dev with, ok,

I am learning java and will be moving on to the AP course next year. I have taken web page design and am also moving onto the AP course of that next year. Post count means nothing. But pointing out that fact that you put nearly no thought into your post exemplifies why this thread was started in the first place. So please keep your unhelpful thoughts to yourself.
really.. explain how that was being a hypocrite??
the poster above my previous post stated that basically i should not post cuz i have not contributed, so to speak..
all i stated was that i was unhappy with it, and that i prefered to move onto something else, and to let others with the same possible ideas as me to see that maybe this is not the device for them... that is all...
anyways, this is going nowhere with anything anyways as you both seem to think so ignore it and remove yourself from the topic in your CP settings

Now why does my post count matter? I have been looking at this forum for years and just made my account to help contribute with the development for the Nitro/Optimus LTE because it is my first smartphone. This is my last post in this thread as it should probably be deleted by a mod anyway. Have fun with your Nexus, nobody will miss you.

@tnap1979:
I'll wait for HTC X One and Samsung Skyrocket HD to come out then select one. I don't think I'll stick with Nitro even if ICS released tomorrow...I need my compass and Skullcandy earphones!
thanks [email protected] for some understanding...
if it wasnt for the fact the LG has put me thru so much BS, i might be happy with its hardware, but is just not as friendly as a HTC or Samsung....
htc's and samsung's i know i can recover from super easy, not have a bunch of hassle and be able to come and go quick and simple from any type of custom rom i want...
i still havent figured out if this device has a fastboot mode or anything other then recovery and download mode... ive wanted to find out how to mess with ics... but it refuses to let it boot, and where as the nexus or even my old atrix for that matter have ics, my friends gs2 has ics, and our device has been " promised " ics... but ive heard tell of lg not holding up there end of the bargain on some devices..
might also help if LG was a lil more DEV friendly with their devices as well...
HTC even gives the chance to unlock your bootloader just for that purpose
now i know that the lg p930 does have an unlocked boot loader, but the filesystem seems to not be user friendly to CWM
which makes it difficult for some work to get done if you happen to make mistakes in code or whatever
Bye bye

You've definitely proven that you have the attention span of a 12 year old. We all know about one developers' attempt to make ICS available, yet is unable to do so as he is nearly the only developer that works with LG devices. In other words we won't get an ICS ROM any time soon, as he is putting focus into other LG devices. Now if you also notice, he is working on a ROM for the AT&T Nitro HD, not the Bell Optimus LTE. Where does that leave us Bell users? Dumping the phone up on for-sale websites in attempt to recoup what we lost after LG screwed us with the release of the 4X. Yes, that's right, LG released their quad core phone with ICS on it... hmm...
Now you may love the IPS LCD that this phone offers. That's all fine and dandy, but when you have a $500 device in your hands, you'd expect to have some manufacturer and developer support behind it. One developer and a lack of initiative from LG to release the update has pissed off quite a few of us. We're already into March (Q2) and ICS has not been released as LG stated. As tn stated, LG devices and LG themselves are not friendly to the developer community.

I have a Bell Optimus LTE using kernelpanics rom and I have had no issues to speak of. So I'm confident that the CM9 release for the nitro (whenever it ends up releasing) will work on my phone.
I must say that LG's marketing is 2 blame in this poor situation. It's been 1M pieces sold in 2 month BUT it could be 3M to 5M if they have it in shops in india, china, europe and c.i.s.
P880 4X HD is gonna be available only in summer, way too long to wait. LG is digging hole for themselves, they give up market share to samsung Nexus and Note and HTC, & Xperia S
Nitro is a perfect piece of android, way better then Nexuses & other amoled s*1t and poor LG makes nothing to spread its popularity
i agree whole heartedly, the lg p930 is amazing hardware, with crap all for proper dev support and lg's track record does not help them in this matter at all...
well... this phone is as stable as an iphone !
coming from a galaxy kingdom " S S2 note" i can honestly say i always used to flash custom ROMs for a couple of hours but at the end of the day when i go to sleep i have the original one again for stability most of all
at least for the first time in so long i don't waste hours on flashing and restoring data and finding bugs and so on ..... till it end up restoring my backed up original rom and settings !
sure custom roms have their ups and downs but..... the phone is stable guys !
it doesn't have the crappy touchwiz or the need of lagfix ... etc
deploating fixed the lag and the battery..... what else do i want ?! since its not sense UI from HTC nor MIUI or even a worthy and heavy tweaking then i really cant see the need for Devs or to flash our phones !
but thats just me... someone enjoying one of the best screen there is on the rarest high end phone with a quality specs
BTW: anyone else tried playing MKV on this phone and galaxy note ?
trust me u will be surprised
is your lg gets really HOT when using gps and car charging?
or playing game and car charging? the freaking phone get really hot and it would STOP charging! you know you will run out of battery cus the freaking phone stop charging when it' HOT!
so this lg is not reliable! i switched back to my old phone samsung skyrocket! no, my skyrocket never get hot like this.

First off, how does me saying, basically, "stop *****ing and be patient," make me have any sort of lack of an attention span? We're all frustrated about this phone but most people who frequent here have seen enough *****ing. It's our own damn faults for buying this phone anyway. However, the phone goes a long way when you wipe the internal storage and let the battery break in. It's pretty snappy with GO Launcher and I get a full day of use now. The only problem is the lack of devs, but we've heard this a million times now. Just 21 more months to go... hopefully we'll get ICS by then.

i am sorry i never noticed any heat from this phone ! and this is someone always setting on an airplane watching movies and playing games for hours and using a portable charger as well !

probably portable charger doesnt output that much power, that why it' doesnt overheat.
but when i using car charging, the LG does overheat. i also have samsung skyrocket, it never hot like that.

From Sprint Evo LTE to the Tmobile S4!

Hey guys,
I made the decision to jump ship on my contract for an s4 and..well, you know, signal..in some places at least. Sprint said Hey, your phone is melting because of our update have fun for a year. SO, i paid them out and bought the awesome phone this section of XDA is devoted to on T-mobile.
So i have a few questions for you guys about the phone, it gets here tomorrow and im excited but i wanna clear up some of the bad things i have heard.
1. Ive seen reviews stating the phone had or has lag. Is this true? Freaking 1.9 quad and 2g of ram and the phone has lag somewhere??
----EDIT: Also, alot of people are downtalking the battery life, can that really be just a tad better than the S3? ive gotten mixed answers on this one, some people say "it lasts for YEARS" and some say "its just a LITTLE better" and some say "Man thats one crappy battery" what do you all think?------
2. All those gimmicky features, do you use them? (speaking of airview, all the motion stuff, and the new camera modes) I am actually fairly excited about all of those but people keep downtalking them.
3. Hows the phones camera do in low light? is it really all that bad?
4. How is yalls experience with roms? never had a samsung device, know about multiview. Is there a way to get multiview on NOT touchwiz? not that i mind, i just wanna know if the option is there .
5. What else do you all like about the phone?
1. There is always lag on TouchWiz based phones simply because TouchWiz requires more memory and whatnot to run. There isn't that bad of a lag if you configure your device correctly. Mine has almost no lag.
2. I use most of them, they're useful and well, it's always cool to have features other people don't.
3. It's not that bad but it's not amazing. It's decent.
4. ROMs are great, our devs are awesome. Great thing about this device is you can flash ROMs from other variants. (AT&T, 9505, etc.) NOT 9500. And not really, that is a TouchWiz only feature. There are some things sort of like it, but it's not true Multi-view.
5. It sings me to sleep at night.

Nice to hear someone enjoying the motion features and such i was excited and im glad to hear they arent just something to show off and never touch again. I figured multiview would be like that, its like sense widgets :/ thats alright though multiview is something i see myself using alot.
What do you get out of the battery? Dont mean to tie you down with questions haha, i think this is my first top of the line phone so i am way over excited. the evo lte i got into late, right as the s3 and note were about to come out, and they passed it in like a day in awesomeness, so finally getting my hands on an S device is just way cool to me.

LG Wing development??

I know this is a new phone. So there hasn't been much time, but I was wondering if it's likely that this phone will/is likely to have a decent amount of development.
I'm guessing there will be a lot of apps that can be customized to this phone's screen setup.
Also if features like the three finger swipe to move an app from screen to screen could be ported from the V60 to this phone.
Just curious, because so far it's been pretty quiet here so far.
Thanks everyone!
I don't think the phone's been marketed as heavily as other phones. It doesn't seem as popular, so unless carriers in the US get a display out or spend money on marketing, I don't think development will go far. But one can hope, because I love this phone.
+1 brother. So far loving it!

Any good news on development you have found? How are you liking the phone still?

Sorry... Not sure why that font is so big...
Well,in my case everything is actually fun again.I love that you can do what you always do but in a different way.I know updates and software development is going to be ugly cause that's the way with LG phones.But,this one is special.You can feel it the first time you use it.
I love this phone. We NEED to root this phone boys.
I just found out about this phone when visiting here. Given that I've been looking for a new phone on and off for six months that's really not good!
Unfortunately I have no relevant skills so is there no hope of development?
