I was looking into some kind of oleophobic coating or glass screen protector for my M8 after using my brother's Moto X for a while and realizing his screen is way smoother and more comfortable to use. I looked up some glass screen protectors on Amazon, and there are a load of different ones that...

Also having this problem, but without MultiROM. Running Skydragon GPE 5.5.

Never mind, I suppose.

I, personally, was really excited to be running ART for the speed and battery boost, but have found myself kind of wanting for my good ol' Xposed modules. It'll be a while (probably a while after Lollipop goes gold) before we get ART support from Xposed. Do you guys not run ART at all in the...

Just got my M8 yesterday, and I'm loving everything but the camera. I'm finding that even in good lighting, the camera struggles to capture detail. Objects not directly illuminated are often muddy in appearance even when viewing the images on the phone, and there's generally a lot of noise in...

Here's an XDA link explaining F2FS if you're not familiar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634271 Edit: Here's another, also including nil2fs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890129 Basically, Samsung developed a filesystem allegedly geared towards the...

My bootloader's unlocked. I am S-OFF. I am on 2.18. I'm on AT&T. From what I can tell, I can switch CIDs as much as I like. I've heard some anecdotal stuff about how using your carrier's CID gets you better signal (sometimes only with certain radios, but that sounds like special pleading/ad hoc...

So, I was approached by someone asking me to take a stab at repairing their phone. They have a Sprint SGS3, and the owner is, well, less than versed in reading through XDA and determining exactly what steps they've taken to modify their phone. Suffice it to say, I have a bit of a diagnostic...

Is anyone else having issues using the Square Reader with this ROM? The phone doesn't seem to recognize headset devices at all. The mic on a 4-conductor headset doesn't seem to do anything, and the Register app says it can't find the reader even when it's plugged in.

So, I just flashed the April 14 build and I'm missing the fade-in status bar as well as the fade effect on the navigation buttons. Is there any way I can re-enable these?

I'm going to get it out of the way before you get bombarded, but you should have S-OFF'd prior to flashing. Not that it's strictly necessary, it just reduces the chances of things like this happening (by a lot). Plus, it removes the need to separately flash boot.img from the ROM you're flashing...

Does "My HTC" show up under the Android Devices node of the Device Manager tree while in the bootloader? They are listed alphabetically, so you should see it right on top, before Computer. You will also need to get into Fastboot mode on the phone. If you're at the root bootloader menu that...

Can anyone else not switch to the ART runtime? Whenever I try to switch, the warning pops up, and the phone reboots, but the runtime is still Dalvik when I check after reboot, and the reboot doesn't take very long like everyone else says it does. Is there anything else I need to do in order for...

Hey, if anyone's coming here to complain about this ROM not flashing even though their MD5 is fine, MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING TWRP 2.7.0.0! I know 2.7 has some issues right now with certain features, but if you really want to flash this ROM, flash 2.7. The flash will FAIL on older versions. Just a...

So, after a bit of testing, it seems like you need a TON of swap space for this to be effective (at least on Sense 5). The disadvantage to this swap method, it seems, is that unless you select a ton of swap space, your phone will grind to a halt as soon as RAM and swap are filled up. I'm running...
