Yes please, quickmemo is really the only stock app I don't want to lose, other than quickremote. I don't really use quick translator so I am neutral about it.

Browser crashes whenever I try to use the 3dot menu in navbar at top of screen. I Uninstalled browser included in Rom then downloaded aosp browser installer from play store. It said my device wasn't supported but it installed the browser just fine. Aosp browser is working now with no issues.

Hey HK, I want to say you did a fantastic job on this port/rom. 
I haven't posted in a while, but prior to owning this phone, I had the Motion 4G and the Optimus M. I was always an active member of this site, even helping find root methods for those phones and opting to be one of the first testers for several roms. But in all these years on Android devices, I have never used a ROM as well put together in a beta stage as this.
I woke up this morning and decided I'd give the Beta 2 a try. I installed CWM, then flashed TWRP, backed up, and Flashed this. It took less than 30 mins. The phone booted right up. The transitions are seamless, and I can see no lags.
This is the first time I have used a new rom that had data/network, bluetooth, and wifi working without any issues (i don't care if the icons are wrong, it still works). Both cameras work for me. Notifications and vibrations work (as well as home LED, front lights, and flash). I haven't found any issues. Plus, far more storage. and my battery life is so much better.
I'll post any updates/problems if any arise. Thanks for the Awesome rom! If there is anything you'd like me to test, let me know.

new Beta 4
Added back Quick Memo
Fixed Google Errors (still need to reboot once for Play Store)
Boot into Recovery from Powered Off State with out wiping data !!!! YAY
Boot into Recovery from Power Menu (no special apps)
Hot Boot Option
Added back init.d
To boot into recovery from a powered off state
turn phone on
before you see LG Logo press and hold the home button, keep holding until recovery is booted
(this only works on this rom, will not work on others)
to boot into recovery while you are in Android
Press and Hold the Power button
Press Power Off and Restart
Put check in recovery
Press OK
This is a Full ROM instead of a patch, you probably should do a factory reset after flashing (wiping data and cache)

you can try, but if you have issues I would wipe data and cache
so do not report any issues unless you do that first and test again
some people were telling me they have LTE some are saying they dont
I have not looked to much into it
I think it is something simple like they are not selecting the right APN or something
Also I think that when you are connected to LTE it the icon says 4G not LTE
I used up all the LTE on my 40 dollar plan so I can not test LTE
