    Post [ROM] [44433.001 - 2015-11-15] Eureka-ROM - Based on OTA 44433

    Eureka no longer works with several apps including Netflix It has been a very long time since suppopt was dropped by the developers, I presume partly due to the need for constant revisions to keep Netflix working, and also due to the fact this won't work except with a small population of early...

    Post [ROM] [r02 - 2015-12-13] Flashcast-AutoRoot

    Stuck on "Chromecast..." [SOLVED] My Chromecast updated after the Autoroot and I got stuck at the "Chromecast..." screen. No luck using Flashcash or Hubcap, even when I dragged out my old Teensy 2.0 and tried at least a dozen times to get it to take. I was close to giving up and assuming my...

    Post [SUPPORT] Update failures

    Thanks for all your great work. Like others, I am seeing a softw bootloop (dancing dots) after application of boot-to-root.img on a Pixel device with a recent security update. This is a 128G Pixel running 7.1.1 with a Feb 5, 2017 security patch. ro.boot.hardware : sailfish...

    Post NEXUS 5 64Gb

    Careful ! This is an impressive and cool hack, and something I have often wondered about. For the hardware/electronics newbies out there I would suggest you be very very wary of soldering a ball grid array (BGA) device. This is definitely a job for first-timer soldering people. I have a lot...

    Post [ROM] Insane Kit Kat V11 NB4 8/28/2014

    Thanks very much for the info. I was also hoping I could just drop in a patch, but that doesn't seem easy either. That's really sad as I love my TW feel and the mods we've seen here due to the generous developers. but living with a Stagefright vulnerability seems like a bad idea. What a bummer!

    Post [ROM] Insane Kit Kat V11 NB4 8/28/2014

    Stagefright vulnerability Since this ROM does not seem to have been updated recently, I am assuming it is susceptible to the Stagefright exploit. Does anybody know for sure? If it is (and I am using an older version in the series) can anybody recommend an Aroma-based ROM that is patched or...

    Post [ROM] [44433.001 - 2015-11-15] Eureka-ROM - Based on OTA 44433

    Well, I got the OTA 27946.001 [2015-04-05] and I would welcome a quick explanation of how to upgrade manually. I presume if I don't do this I will eventually lose the ability to watch Netflix. I am hoping it's as easy as using scp to copy over a script, or better yet fix it with vim.

    Post [ROOT] HubCap Chromecast Root Release!

    Root seems like a nice "just in case" option. It would be more useful it we could directly write text or image to the screen from locally running code in some easy way. Getting the parts together, and the opportunity to use them, may be taking some people time. That includes me (I can't...

    Post [ROOT] HubCap Chromecast Root Release!

    Hey everybody. I'd really really like to root my chromecast this time but don't have a teensy with me nor access to one in the near future. I happen to have this here: It has 6 vacuum tubes, 4 meters, a dial and lots of wires inside. Can you guys help me do this exploit with this? ----...

    Post [Q] Anybody used progressive lenses like ...

    Thanks. I tried two local eyeglass chains and both said the "thin" Glass frames I have were incompatible with progressive lenses. Maybe the "bold" frames are different in that regard.

    Post Got Glass today....battery is poor

    Be careful to leave it on when charging Glass, like other devices that use the same technology, need a few full charge-discharge cycles to reach full battery lifetime. Glass also has the crazy property that they will not charge if they are completely turned off and shut down. Make sure the...

    Thread [Q] Anybody used progressive lenses like ...

    Has anybody here tried using progressive lenses with Glass? I tried Glass over my progressives and it seemed fine, but of course wearing Glass over a separate pair of glasses is very ugly. When I got the prescription frames, I discovered they were apparently incompatible with progressive...

    Post [Q] Glass oeverheat won't turn on anymore!

    My only advice is to make sure the unit it turned on when you try to charge it. Attempting to charge it while it is fully turned off seems like a common newbie mistake (that I made myself).

    Official root You guys to realize that there is an official Google-released rooting binary, right? It does void your warranty, but it also should be reliable.
