    Post On screen volume controls won't go away until after 2 seconds minimum

    I'm getting that too, for often much longer than 2 seconds. Sure is weird. Switch Access is off.

    Thread VZ Pixel: Messages+ AND ALSO Google Messager??

    I've got a VZ Pixel XL. I love the convenience of using Messages+ across all my mobile devices (laptop, desktop, tablet, work computer, etc.) but I also like the functionality of Google's Messenger. Can I use Google's Messenger on the Pixel XL, and then use Messages+ on the other devices, or...

    Post Perhaps a dumb Question, but I'm a Bit New

    Thanks for the information. It's not crucial that I put the Google software in it - more of a curious question for me. The few times I rooted a phone was to install BusyBox or Titanium; I really didn't fully exploit what root can do, lest I create a brick. Given that I need to get into...

    Thread Perhaps a dumb Question, but I'm a Bit New

    I'm getting a VZ Pixel XL (hold the "you're buying it from where" comments, please) because I need to move rather quickly from a Note 7 to a less hostile phone. I'm paying full price, so I can avoid VZ's 2-year lockdown via contract. I'm hearing that, even for those that ordered right away...

    Thread Messages+ Question

    I love having my messages synced across all my devices (PC, tablet, phone, desktop). So I use VZW's Messages+. From what I've read, there might be some features in the Samsung default messaging app that would make it better. My question is; can I use Samsung's app on the Edge, and VZW's...

    Post Computerfreek274 _ Turbo _ 1.5.5B All in One 5/22/2015

    Thanks for checking in the ROMs to see if the echo lives there. As much as I love root access, I love hearing my phone even more. I am hard of hearing and wear two hearing aids. I just cannot hear that darn Turbo, although your ROMs make is nearly 1,000% better. But I am getting ready to...

    Post Computerfreek274 _ Turbo _ 1.5.5B All in One 5/22/2015

    Couple of quick questions Hi - great job on the OS. I've never run something not stock, but you convinced me. On to the questions. 1. Ever since I've been running your image, people have told me that there are a lot of echoes in my voice on the phone calls. Any ideas? Is it something you...

    Post MOFO - Root your Turbo/X 2014

    I'm using Microsoft Outlook for both email and calendar instead of the despicable native Email/Calendar apps. It ran both under the stock rooted Image, and also under Computerfreek274's image (which I am now running).

    Thread [Q] Is there a Master 'Towelroot' thread?

    I searched and found hundreds of posts about towelroot all over the (Android) place. Is there one master thread for towelroot issues/updates? While I had good luck with TR on the previous update, the new update canceled out root. Rather than follow the currently recommended downgrade-upgrade...

    Thread Tricorder?

    Has anyone seen a Tricorder app for the Gear 2 Neo or Gear? It would be pretty cool to have an app that looks like the Tricorder Android app on the watch!

    Post Help getting back to stock

    Yes - I've looked at those videos. However, I've also read a lot of stories here about bricks being created by the inexperienced (like me) using ODIN and I'd sure like to avoid it. I thought there was a way to put the image on the SD Card and completely wipe the phone, putting it both back to...

    Thread Help getting back to stock

    Is there VRUFNC5 file that I can put on my Verizon S4's SD Card that I can flash back to stock? I have no special recovery mode on the device, and I know it will break root (but I can get that back). If it wipes the device, I can live with that. I see many instructions here about how to use...

    Post [Q] Gear Manager updated 7/15; now Gear 2 Neo won't connect

    Question from a n00b I was successful in rooting VRUFNC5, so here's my (probably noob) question: Is there a VRUFNC5 file that I can put on the SDCard and use to reflash my phone to stock? I am not experienced in using ODIN, and the instructions I've found here seem to presume a bit of...

    Post [Q] Consequences of Rooting and trying to pair to a Gear 2 Neo?

    I crossposted this to the forums at Connectedly.com, and received a reply there of another person with the same problem. Makes me feel better (that I am not the only one). BusyBox Pro has been reinstalled, as has xPosed Framework, and Wanam xPosed (but Wanam is not enabled ... yet).

    Post [Q] Gear Manager updated 7/15; now Gear 2 Neo won't connect

    Good idea - tried it and got the same response. Couldn't find a version number on the one from the link, but I suspect it is the same as Sammy released today. ROM is stock 4.4.2 Android from VZ - I545VRIFNC5. Rooted. I put BusyBox Pro back on there, and xPosed framework, and Wanam, but I...
