Alternative for Stock Apps (Gallery, Music etc.) - Nokia 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello everyone!
I've some tips for those people of you who don't want to use the Google gallery, music or browser app.
When I've bought my wonderful Nokia 5, I see that there aren't other apps as the apps from Google, so I've looked on the internet and found some nice (and ad-free apps).
The gallery app I use: Lineage OS Gallery https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...lineage-os-gallery-apk-photo-editing-t3664460
Music-Player: Phonograph Music Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabouzeid.gramophone&hl=en_US
Browser App: Jelly Browser https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apk-jelly-browser-t3600876
(better) File Manager MiXplorer https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
Mail Aqua Mail https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail&hl=de
I hope it is useful

Here's mine
Camera: Footej Camera (free and paid) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.footej.camera&hl=en
Gallery: Gallery QuickPic (Mod by WSTxda) https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-gallery-quickpic-based-4-7-4-t3790425
Music Player: Musicolet (free with no ads) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet&hl=en
Browser: Opera Mini (free with ads) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.native&hl=en
File Manager: Solid Explorer (free and paid) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2&hl=en
Keyboard: SwiftKey Keyboard (free with no ads) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey&hl=en

My alternative,
Gallery and Video player: Sony Album
Music player: Sony Music
File manager: File Commander
Video player (extra): KM Player Pro
Keyboard: Xperia Keyboard / Swiftkey

I use my Nook mostly for book, news, and magazine reading, web searching and browsing, reference and lookups, quick viewing and editing of notes while on the go, email device, and as an auxiliary PIM (with the phone being the main PIM). Basically the stuff that's better on a larger screen than on a phone-sized screen when it's inconvenient to use the laptop.
My Nexus One mostly serves as my main PIM, alarm clock, task reminder service, portable nav device, time tracker, expense capture device, messenger, voice search device, and general communications device. Oh, and as a phone too.
The two devices fill in for each other in a pinch since most of my data is synced to the cloud.
Apps that get the most use on my NC:
Launcher: Zeam
Web Browser: Dolphin HD
Media Player: Don't use one
Keyboard: Swype
IM app: Google Voice for text messaging and listening to voice mails
File Browser: Root Explorer
Widgets: Minimalist Text, FolderOrganizer, (will probably start using Zoom soon)
Tools: ClockSync, PrinterShare, Astrid Locale Plug-in, Secure Settings plug-in, Tasker, Synker, IVONA TTS (I'm big into automation)
Other: B&N Nook, Amazon Kindle, OverDrive Media Console, LastPass, Evernote, Dropbox, OfficeSuite Pro, Astrid, JustPictures, Google Calendar, XDA app, WeatherBug Elite, various news and business journal apps, LinkedIn, ezPDF Reader, GMail, Google Reader
My 19-month old son has begun "borrowing" my tablet so he uses a bunch of the OMBooks Dr. Seuss apps, Fruit Ninja, watching the occasional Sesame Street video on YouTube, as well as an app called "Baby Animal Balloons."
I tried using Google Currents for about a week and loved the app but it seemed like it really slowed down my NC and caused a lot of freezing so I uninstalled it.
And finally, I just started working on using Tasker to create a "Toddler Mode" so that when my son is playing with it, he's restricted to only the things I want him to be able to do with it. Hopefully I can find a way to make that work. I use Tasker for a lot of things on my phone and a few things on the NC.
And by the way, I can't even begin to express my appreciation for the CyanogenMod team and all the developers that turned this table into such a great device! The only thing that I can't do with the NC that I wish I could is using voice commands. Otherwise the NC has been a shockingly useful device for me on an everyday basis!

[Q] Default music player

Hi guys, I bought my razr (xt910) one week ago, and everything works fine, except for one thing, i can't set my default music player, Im using noozy as my music player, but when I try to open an mp3 file with the file explorer, it asks me to choose the default app for the mp3 file, but only shows the default music player and the ES music player (comes with ES file explorer), it does not give e the ption to use noozy as the default.
When I use one app like Endomondo that has an option to launch the music player, it launches the stock music player and not the one I really use, so can anyone answer how can I put noozy as the default music player?
PS: the launch by default option in setting/apps is greyed out and not changeable on all the apps mentioned above.
Thanks in advance guys!

[Q] Thrid party apps

Hello guys,
Can you provide me with good third party apps(mostly free versions) that I can use fora daily basis ? I have just finished creatinga a custom rom for for my Nexus 7(2012-Wifi) and I would like a change from the default google apps. Can you suggest apps for the different categories,
Launcher
Music
Video
Web Browser
epub, pdf, etc reader
Dialer
Camera
My Picks
Launcher - Definitely Nova Launcher
Music - Clean Music
Video - MX Player, VLC Player
Web Browser - Chrome, Dolphin Mini, Opera Mini
epub, pdf - FB Reader, Google Books via their upload to web option you can read any book
Dialer - exDialer
Camera - SnapCamera HD
Google for all links.
These are the best apps so far used by me for the last 3 years of android experience plus they all work great even on a phone with 512 MB of RAM so for other devices the speed will definitely not be an issue.

Looking for an app like Infuse (iOS)

Hi!
I'm looking for an app to watch movies or TV shows that I previously uploaded to my Google Drive account. In Android I can do that with an Explorer like ES Explorer but it's only an explorer and the built-in player can't play most of the codecs nor I can't use a "open with" to open the files with MX Player Pro.
I take a look into the Play Store and I only see a lot of apps that can do that but only with music files.
Thanks in advance
Nplayer
