How to “Beat the Stock”
Written by: ilxaot
Hey! Welcome to my guide, and thanks for clicking on it. If this helps you in any way or form, please click the “Thanks” button.
I need your help! I need your recommendations so I can add them in after testing, this guide is incomplete and should have more options. Also, I need more sections. If there's another set of apps that you want me to review for our phone, just let me know. I'll gladly update this guide accordingly!

Phone
Well, in the end, regardless of what some of us may think our L9’s are, they are phones. I know, surprising right? Our phone has a good looking stock dialer, but MAN IT’S SLOW. So I’ve created a list of replacements that operate perfectly on our device.
exDialer: This is my personal choice, and definitely the one I recommend the most. The UI is elegant, and it’s incorporated into an extremely efficient combination of Dialer/Contacts setup. The sheer ability to switch from Dialer to Contacts smoothly without lag is an enigma in itself. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a decent amount of themes available on the Play Store to further mix it to your liking. The ICS theme is my personal favorite.
Dialer One: This is a pretty good app for those who want a fast dialer for their phone, and don’t mind not having a Contacts app to match it. This doesn’t work for me, since I need Contacts integrated into my Dialer like exDialer does. But this app does the job for those that need a dialer app by itself.
Contacts
Contacts+: Same as the app above, it’s just a shortcut to take you straight to the Contacts portion of the app. Recommended to those who want a closely integrated feel of Messaging, Dialing, and Contact…ing.
Messaging
Textra: Download this app NOW. This is seriously, as of now, the best texting app for Android. Ever heard of ChompSMS? It supports native Emoji, Group SMS with iPhonies, doable customization, and an absolutely SICK notification feature. Seriously, download this app, next text you get, click the notification and watch the magic.
Browser
Opera Browser: Okay, so this has been updated consistently for about the last year or so, and I’m LOVING it. It has a ton of options, including cloud compression on a low connection so it speeds up YOUR browsing speeds. It has the usual problems, notably lag when loading multiple images and sometimes not registering your touches when you click links. It’s Chromium based, which means it is similar to Chrome. Obviously.
Chrome: Brought to my attention by @peoplegetpeople, it's a good browser and it is useful if using Chrome on your computer and wish to sync bookmarks/history!
Must-Have Apps
Ttorrent: This app is for torrenting and "sharing" (uh-huh...) files.

Lol, you're totally right about the browsers. I got mad when chrome want on the list! (I like my integration) but seriously, your guides are the ****! Keep it up man. Textra and exdialer are now daily drivers. Also, your locked mods thread made me love this phone. Good work, sir. Good work indeed!

Updated with some relevant "Must-Have Apps."
The aviate launcher looks pretty nice. Unfortunately I need an invite code.
Another keyboard to check out is Google's stock keyboard. You can get it from the play store. Uses a lot less memory than kii and quite a bit smoother.

I just checked. You can add pretty much any language for input and download dictionaries too. You switch languages by holding down the space bar.
There's no options for themes. Stock jelly bean.

Also, another app that I find useful is Censor**** on the play store. I use profanity with my friends and this loads most of the common words into the dictionary so auto correct doesn't try to correct it. It's a pay app and English only.

I'm quite attached to perfect keyboard, suits me well and very customizable. Dolphin browser is my favorite except the added that stupid touch button in the corner but it can be removed. How about music players? I've used playerpro with the dsp pack for the preamp for along time now.

Thought I'd throw these in here.
I use Now Playing for music - it's got a cards-esque UI, plays really well, beautiful widgets. And it works with ViPERFX, which is good.
Also, I've found I really like Sliding Messaging. It was buggy, sometimes it doesn't work well with MMS, but it's themeable and the new Slideover feature is great.

NOT TRUE!
The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.
EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"
Thanks for the ideas

This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...

In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!
I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.
edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
The error it's typically upon logging in.

When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?
I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?

fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.
Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.
Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.
Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.

Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.
When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL

Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.
Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.
Hey, everyone. This is Obasi42, creator of Obasi Apps and Quick-Notes for the S Pen. Please don't take this thread as an advertisement for my application. I am simply desperate for your help right now.
As you may know, there is a contest going on right now for the best S Pen applications. I understand that my application isn't nearly good enough to win, but I do want to have a fighting chance out there. So, to anyone who already uses my app, or anyone who is curious to find out more, or anyone who just wants to help: can you please tell me what features you would like implemented in this application?
Here's a link to it in the market (it's free!):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.obasiapps.productivity.quicknotes
Bonus question: I'm also creating a gaming app, so what games would you like created for the S Pen?
The competition ends Tuesday, so, you can see why I'm in a hurry.
Thanks!
I tried it out. It's a good, basic memo app. Here are my criticisms-
I would much prefer this show up as an app. I like to have my search button go directly to vlingo.
It's a bit too basic. The s-pen memo app that comes with the phone does the same thing except you have a lot more color choices.
I'd really like to be able to embed pics and maybe voice notes.
Your app is definitely on to a good start. Good luck with the competition!

Here's my take on the search button long press to launch. Some ppl have reassigned the search button. That may affect the operation without an app drawer icon.
Note...where BIGGER is better!
Play store says the app is not compatible with my Note and Captivate. Wth.
Running stock ICS btw.
So, if anyone have tried Chrome Beta for ICS rom, do you guys have the display problem with it? I often got the display to stutter/mixed up and make the page really bad. Sometimes, when I want to type the URL, my keyboard just seems to be a block of image and I have to guess where the letter is located (the keyboard still function but the image just went crazy).
Is this problem on Amaze only? I have been using the Chrome Beta on my HP Touchpad and I have never gotten this problem at all.... So, I am just wondering if this is just my Amaze, or is it a common problem? If someone can tell me how to fix it, that'd be great
I love Chrome Beta since it sync all the bookmarks and the page that I open on my tablet/desktop/laptop all at once.... But, the crazy stutter/mixed images just drive me crazy; especially when I can't see where the letters are when I need to type...
I thought that was only my phone, or the Rom I was running. I also have that problem, distortion, stuttering, and it just goes bonkers on me

If you type it out as everything.me, it will show up in the search bar where you can then click on it in the app store. But you are right, even searching for it correctly it won't show up in the list of apps. My guess would be because it is in beta. I believe the app store recently opened itself to beta apps, but they may be stored separately.
They are now available in parts of Europe.

I'm all about customizing my phone with random little apps. This one I found last night is called "Hello", and it is a very simple yet extremely elegant sms app. Everything is sorted in to tabs, and the coolest feature I've found so far is when you click on a picture that was sent to you through texts, it pulls up all the other pictures in that particular thread so you can quickly save them all instead of doing it one by one.
Just thought I would let you guys in on this little gem I found! Hope you guys give it shot!

I'd used it if I can scale down up or front. Everything just seems too big.

I was using Hangouts before, but this looks cleaner. I'm gonna try it for a while. Thanks for the heads up.
If you like this you should check out EvolveSMS. Some of the same type stuff and you can download themes for it. I'm been using it for a while now and I love it.

Hello is really nice but on every device i have it seems to stutter eveytime i open it. If you turn on the beta access , you can send these little gifs cut out in a speech bubble. Pretty cool haha. I got all my android friends use it now, i just wish it would launch faster

Looks like hangouts
No problem! My all doesn't seem to stutter when I launch it.... I wonder why yours does.
I think the biggest thing I like about this app is the fact that you can't bog it down with themes. Just personal preference though lol.
Thank you for telling us about the app

I like EvolveSMS but seem to have an issues sending MSM.
I didn't like this Hello app at all. I don't mind the Verizon messaging app really.

my message+ app got sent to the freezer for conspiracy to slow my phone with all my other big red apps. They are now serving a 2year+ sentence with a $360 fine if they return earlier.
I like Hello, but it would send pictures as links to recipients instead of the actual pictures. I found that several people wouldn't open them. I is probably better to send them as links that people can click on and then view them, because they would come out in higher quality. But if people don't click on them, it defeats the purpose. I also didn't like how it put an advertisement for their app on each picture it sent links for.

Haha. I don't keep message + on the phone...but will install it and backup when swapping Roms on my S4. It is handy to work across devices.....but Hangouts is my go to messenger since my ios contacts are slowly converting to it from apples proprietary junk. Switched to hangouts when they added custom ringtones.

Evolve is excellent. Made me ditch 8sms, which I never thought would happen. Straightforward, with nice enough bells and whistles that aren't obnoxious.
I am getting tired of go sms, but I need sms pop ups. What is a good alternative?
