I have a Samsung Tab 3 SM-T820. I noticed a few weeks ago it was still running android 7. Santa didn't bring me a new tablet.... So, I decided to tinker with it and see if I could root it and get it up to a newer Android version. I followed some instructions and got TWRP on it and had it...

Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to root my Samsung SM-T820 tablet. I just noticed a few days ago it's running Android 7 and figure I should see if I can get it up to Android 9 or 10. I found instructions on how to root it. The instructions say to go to sammobile.com and download the...

Ok, so I figured it out. Not from the code above, but I found training on androids website that showed me how to do it and it worked. I now have an app on my phone I created that asks for input and then sends it (to nowhere)

Ok, so I'm a very newbe programmer. I do know a little C++. But I wanted to see if I could create a basic Hello World android app. I found a video on YouTube that I'm trying to follow along. I'm pretty sure my code is identical to his code. But mine won't compile. Here's the code...

On, so that did get me into systemui settings. What I'm trying to do with it is I have a sound profiles app. On my last phone I used a different sound profiles app. The sound profiles in the notification area was always the first item listed. That just makes sense. Well, I just got this...

I'm trying to figure out how to access system ui tuner. If I search the settings for system ui, it finds it, but I can't launch it. I keep reading to hold down the gear icon in the notification area for 10 seconds and it's supposed to add system ui tuner to the settings but that's not working...

So a week ago, I got the g7 power phone which has the 5000 mAh battery in it. It advertises 3 day battery life. A few years ago, I had a different 5000 mAh phone and I could go a week between charges. This phone doesn't go a full 24 hours. When I check battery usage, the highest usage app is...

Can anyone explain how, in the video, the phone was booted into the screen he's in to run the commands against the phone? The screen says "restart" in large font.

Has anyone figured out how to root a Verizon vs996 phone? I read on the internet its maybe possible using the Frankenstein bug but I cant seem to find any detailed guides on how to root my vs996 using the Frankenstein bug. If anyone could point me to detailed instructions, it would be greatly...

I dont know why but every few minutes while listening to music on my v30 vs996, the music will briefly go silent and then stutter then keep playing. Does anyone have any troubleshooting method? I dont want to uninstall all of my apps. Is there a way to just disable a non built in app so I can...

Please elaborate. Please give me some step-by-step on how to root a US version Verzion VS996 LG Phone.

And I guess I don't care as much about unlocking the boot loader as much as just gaining root access.

I have an LG V30 Model VS996 (US model) that I obtained from a Verizon store. Has anyone figured out how to unlock the bootloader and/or obtain root?

Has anyone found a way to hook headphones to it yet while charging? My logic why I want it is my wife and I... She likes dead quiet when sleeping. I like white noise. It's been a small silly bicker for forever. But I want to try to sleep with headphone with whitenoise. I bought headphones...

I found in developer options where I can disable updates. But my phone already downloaded an update and is constantly prompting me to update. I downloaded cache wiper and wiped the cache partition and that didn't fix the problem.
