Oh- gotcha- I guess I was thrown off by how clearly labeled that link is... ;)

Yes, I have ES File Explorer and a Chrome browser sideloaded already, so that's not an issue. When you say... "Next you will be to download a version of DirectTV Now, either modified or unmodified. They are both from the .apk files extracted from an Amazon Fire device, but the Amazon checks...

As a Nvidia Shield TV user for over a year now, I've been pretty happy with YouTubeTV but would love to give DTVnow a try. I'm amazed the DTVNow folks have not developed an app for AndroidTV yet....? Can someone give me the most up-to-date method of sideloading a DTVnow app? Which app...

Thanks- do you know which is the latest build for pixel ('sailfish') running on Verizon?

What constantly confuses me in this context is- if you own a Pixel that you bought from Google direct, but are using it on Verizon, do you use the Verizon image or do you use the Generic (Google) image? Some refer (up above) that this image is "for Verizon models" ?? Does that mean you flash...

re-flash June So I'm running the June build for VZW on my Pixel which I bought from Google, and continue to have telecom issues. I think I'd like to try flashing the June build to both slots- can someone advise on the method for flashing to both slots (I typically flash via the manual method-...

Just posting this experience to see / hear if anyone else has had a similar experience- I use Google Voice a lot- that is, I typically have my Pixel set to dial out through GV all the time. I bought my Pixel from Google, and it's unlocked and rooted using the SuperSU 2.79 and now Chanfire's V8...

My (Google purchased) Pixel, which is rooted on the May update and utilizing the V3 boot signor, is having troubles running Google Assistant. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? I can get to the screen where you 'train' Google Assistant to listen to your voice say "OK Google" but for some...

Nandroid Bkup So... those following along may enjoy learning that I deleted everything and gave it another go... this time it worked much better... Nandroid backup: booted into twrp recovery and created the complete backup (boot, system, and data partitions). Rebooted phone and opened root...

Update: So it turned out that my windows pc Pixel drivers were in conflict with my old Samsung GSIV usb drivers... once I was successful in resolving that conflict, I was better able to get to my Pixel's TWRP backup folder and attempt to drag & drop the backup over to my pc. I still ran into...

I don't think I'll be fixing anything that isn't broken, but wanted to ask if there's any reason why it would be better to re-flash my Pixel in order to move from the V3 to this new V6 signor zip? My phone seems quite stable, working well, May update rooted and signed with V3. Thanks.

Can get Root Explorer to connect to Google Drive, but when I select all of the backup files from my Pixel's TWRP backup folder, my only choices are to cut or copy them- so I tried both and then RE creates this little clipboard icon that you presumably click on to paste them once you've opened...

Thanks... I'm thinking I'll just adb pull the file over to my desktop... not sure.

Tried it again and it worked flawlessly.... it seems sort of buggy in that sometimes it presents the 'pattern' security lock that I use and sometimes it doesn't. After booting up in the bootloader and fastbooting the TWRP boot image slowly and methodically, the security pattern came up and all...

Yep- RC1. I'm thinking it's in 'read only' mode or something because as soon as it attempts to create the folder/file- no-go.
