Alternate apps as replacement of built-in ones.
 

Hello. I'd like to know if is there a set or a list of alternate apps that can be used as standard, instead of the built-in ones.

I say this because maybe there are calendar, contacts, notes... apps better than the included ones, and could be used as default, removing the unused from the phone.

Thanks.

Cameraui2 (w/ HD recording) <-> Stock Camera app
Open Media Player <-> Stock Media Player
Modified Modest <-> Stock Messaging app
Modified Hildon Desktop (w/ portrait mode) <-> Stock Hildon Desktop
Qtlockscreen <-> Stock lockscreen
Chromium <-> MicroB
CSSU <-> Maemo 5

Where (<-> stands for replaces)

To be clear, CSSU doesn't replace Maemo5, but rather is way to change your update repository. Meaning you would be getting updates from the CSSU team from now on, vs Nokia. If you haven't installed CSSU you're getting updates from Nokia, which are rare and likely to not happen again short of another major certificate issue or the like. Once you install CSSU, your primary updates would come from them. But the core is still Maemo5.

The rest of the list is rather well put together. It's also worth noting that updating to CSSU gets you several of these already (bug fixed modest, camera-ui 2, latest stable kernel, etc.)

Pali asked people to create open-source counterparts of maemo closed sources apps.

Some parted that have been recreated and improved:
osso-clock
osso-calculator
tv-out plugin

Aim will be to incorporated it in CSSU.

Who uses chromium anyway?

Yeah, Opera would defenitly be my alternative for MicroB
