I feel a bit silly asking such a narrow question, but I couldn't find the answer on the AICP site. Does AICP provide the ability to add a distinct, separate last app button? That's my favorite feature ever. (This is not a feature request, like "please add XYZ." I'm just asking if it's already...

At this point 350 seems a little steep. On the other hand, my Galaxy Tab S3 will only charge when it's turned off because of supposed moisture in the port that apparently lasts forever. So the Pixel C has been my primary tablet. Although I like the S3s haptic feedback and GPS the Pixel C is...

Android tablets get a lot of hate for reasons I don't understand. If Android tablets are your preference (as they are mine) then I don't know of a better "current" tablet than the S3. The Pixel C is still pretty awesome. I marginally prefer the S3 because of the haptic feedback and slightly...

If I have one big gripe about the Samsung buttons it's that in addition to being where they aren't expected, they aren't lit. You have to learn where they are. But today I picked up my Pixel C and i was looking for the Samsung buttons even though the onscreen ones were plainly visible. The S3...

Pronounced "gitsthree-el-why-fix"

Like "Flounder" for the Nexus 9, "Pollux Windy" for the Xperia Tablet Z, etc. Does the S3 wifi have one?

I just purchased an S3 and I'm comparing it side-by-side with my Pixel C. It's too soon to compare battery life, although I don't expect the S3 to last quite as long. The Pixel C lasts forever. But so far I see a number of advantages on the S3. - SD card (not that I care) - S-Pen (not really...

I received my tablet yesterday. First I applied the latest software update. Then I installed TWRP, SuperSu, and the boot patch as described in this thread. After backing up I did a wipe and flashed this ROM. It took about five minutes. It restarted once just as it began to draw the Samsung logo...

Found my own answer. I was releasing POWER-DOWN and pressing POWER-UP by sliding my finger from one to the other. Apparently there needs to be a momentary delay, releasing one then pressing the other.

Hi, I searched before asking, but came up empty. I'm attempting to install TWRP. Flashing it with Odin works just fine. Where I'm hung up is the next step, booting immediately into recovery. The instructions I've seen are to hold down POWER, HOME, VOLUME-DOWN. When the screen goes blank...

I really like my Pixel C. But is it worth it at current prices? I'd say no, not by a long shot. It's two years old. You can get a Galaxy Tab S2 or S3 for much less. You can get a giant Windows tablet and install Android. In fact, if people are actually paying $500-600 for these things then...

This may or may not be a helpful response. I had the same problem and never, ever solved it. I read a gazillion articles and all sorts of detailed instructions about how to remove and update drivers. I tried for days and nothing ever worked. That's not to say that it can't be done, but I had to...

I've been running this for a few days. AOKP was always one of my favorites. It runs great, no issues.

My Pixel C works perfectly and I love it. I've also been through several of them, one because of a screen defect. It's the "split screen" defect which has happened to multiple users and isn't specific to this device or Google devices. The good - it's the best tablet I've ever used. The bad -...

I tried RR and got the setup wizard crash again. It skips the wifi connection step. Doesn't matter which gapps I use. But I found an easy workaround. Install and launch the ROM without gapps, connect to wifi, then install gapps. Then I can set up a google account, restore from Titanium, etc.
