Went to Costco and picked one up fairly cheap. Not going to be heartbroken if no custom ROMs but would -like- a more AOSP experience as I've never particularly liked Samsungness. I looked around a good bit but not having any luck beyond rooting existing ROM and debloated stock ROMs. Are there...

Umm. Wow. I just dug out my old tablet and was wondering if I was going to scrap it or keep it. I remember there being a bunch of confusion (on my part) back when I was first rooting my tablet because Lenovo re-used the A7600 AND A-10 designations. I have the A7600-f / A10-70. No SIM, just...

Yep. Makes sense because the Z955A is the unlocked version. For folks who have the Z958, the story isn't as easy. But the info should help the Z955A users. I'd bet the Z955L is locked in the same manner as the Z958. I may attempt to root my Z958 but not until I get my new phone (the Z958 is...

A bit of a necro here ... Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case. I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight. I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my...

There isn't going to be any major difference for most users right now. I picked up a 2015 so that I can take advantage of 802.11AC on 5Ghz WiFi. My 2.4Ghz channel gets scrambled whenever someone uses our microwave, but 5Ghz is fine. Beyond that you're not going to see major functional...

Wondering if these teams have investigated the new model? I have an original Chromecast, rooted without teensy since I got it from the first batch of original Chromecast. I haven't rooted on my 2015 yet hoping that it might be able to be, but I actually do have a need for it soon as my...

So I finally found a car ... ended up buying a 2006 Toyota Sienna Limited with less than 50K miules (insert long rant about flying across country to pick up a 2013 Rav4 only to find the dealer mis-advertised and accepted payment for the wrong trim level). After a lot of contemplation, and...

Thank you for the response :)

I'm (hopefully tomorrow) replacing my dying Jeep. Likely candidates are a 2014 Rav4 or a 2012 Town and Country. Both seem to have good double-din slots without having a lot of vehicle subsystems tied to the factory HU. So ... I am beginning to investigate putting in an Android HU. I'd like a...

Yeah that was my next plan, already have the stock ROM downloaded. Will report back. Was just hoping there was a known issue that I could fix without reverting. Not a big deal :) Thanks.

I'm trying to resurrect my I897 Captivate. I put it in the drawer a couple of years ago with Glitch kernel and AOKP ICS on it. My wife destroyed her Skyrocket (S2) and she needs a phone to use as a stand-in for a couple of months. I wiped it, no nandroid backup since I had no plans to use any...

Got mine in today. Worked perfectly well. I also got the back cover and ... well ... I consider it a bit of a waste since I'm using a TPU case. I was only wanting the back cover to shield the camera lens and guess what part is cut out? :) (I expected it to be cut out, but was hoping like the...

My battery was almost that awful after my first charge. Not much better on my 2nd charge. I'm on my 3rd charge now after rooting and doing a battery calibration and things -seem- to be much better but I'll know for sure in a day or so.

Read through this thread ... the G2 battery is too big.

My phone is still marked on the Play store as "will ship by Nov 5th" ... imagine my surprise when it showed up on my door today.
