    Thread Is there a real difference between all the glass screen protectors on Amazon?

    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...

    Thread Do you run ART? What do you use to mod your phone? Do you miss Xposed?

    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...

    Thread [Q] Any Point to Not Being SuperCID?

    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...

    Thread Sprint S3 stock without root will not take OTA

    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...

    Thread What cases are worth the money?

    Well, the warranty for this thing expires very soon, so I ought to take the best care of it that I can (within reason, of course). There are quite a few options for case and screen protector... which are worth the cash? Otterbox has a reputation for building good cases, and the Commuter is...

    Thread [Verge] HTC One mini coming in August with 4.3-inch screen, LTE, and 'no compromises'

    Source. Hopefully this means we get Sense 5 updates ported from the One Mini in a relatively short timeframe!

    Thread [Q] Returning to bone-stock... without using the screen

    So, the backlight crapped out on my device after being a bit spotty (would come back after pressing around on the phone a bit). I'm thankfully still within the warranty period, but I'm S-OFF, bootloader's unlocked, and I'm running Sense 5. I'd like to minimize the chances of having my warranty...

    Thread Instagram 4.0.0 on Evita

    Has anyone gotten the 4.0.0 update yet? I don't think the new version works with our device yet - I downloaded the APK someone else pulled off their device and it force closed when I tried taking video. Maybe the app doesn't work right on Sense 5. Would anyone mind downloading the APK for...

    Thread What physical mods are there for the One X?

    Well, the 1-Year limited warranty is soon to run out on my device, and I'm considering modding the hardware a bit seeing as I've modded it on the software side a ton. I know of the red capacitive nav button mod and am also considering swapping out the battery for a 35H00197-00M 2100mAh One X+...

    Thread Is the One X supposed to charge like this?

    After switching back to ViperXL and ElementalX from AOSP ROMs, I noticed that the phone seemed to be charging kind of slow, so I went and actually jotted down some data on the charge rate. Time, battery percentage, delta percentage, delta time (interval), percentage [points] per minute, delta...

    Thread AOSP Features on Sense ROMs

    I'm thinking about switching back to a Sense ROM for the battery life and camera, but I'll miss a few things from AOSP that I've gotten accustomed to. Is it possible to have the 4.2 Lockscreen on a Sense ROM? I know the AOSP 4.1 lockscreen is available on some of them. Having DashClock...

    Thread [SOLVED Partially, breaks ADB] Can't use USB Storage in AOSP ROMs

    Is there a certain driver I need to use for USB Mass Storage access? When I use a Sense ROM, Windows recognizes the phone as an MTP device, but when I use an AOSP ROM, the phone shows up as a "My HTC" device in the Device Manager, but never shows the phone's sdcard as a drive. Is there a certain...

    Thread [Q] How do I debug a bootscreen hang without adb?

    I'm trying my hand at porting a ROM to my device (S4 HTC One X/XL, Evita) and I've gotten as far as the bootscreen, but it hangs there (with the bootanim still running). I'd like to take a look at what's happened on the device, but I can't seem to use adb with it at this point. I've made sure...

    Thread Stuck at HTC bootscreen after flashing Radio/RIL

    Running Viper XL 3.1.0 on a phone that shipped with 1.85 and never ran an OTA. Whenever I try flashing a new radio, rebooting to system always hangs the phone at the HTC screen. It doesn't matter if I wipe caches after flash or not. Restoring from nandroid lets me boot again. I tried HTC...

    Thread [Q] Kernel Samepage Merging - Is it worth keeping on, or am I wasting battery life?

    Not sure if KSM actually gives me a performance boost, or if it's just placebo. Also not sure if it's draining my battery quicker, or if something else is causing it to drain without much use.

    Thread [Q] JellyBam 3.0.0 - How do I use my wired Xbox 360 Controller with my phone?

    Using rohan.kernel b6 with OTG, and nothing really happens when I plug the 360 controller in. The xbox button ring blinks as expected, but my phone doesn't seem to detect it. No game detects it, and I cannot move around the UI with it. Edit: OTG is definitely working, keyboards and USB sticks...

    Thread [Q] [CM10] Messaging app force-closed, all SMS disappeared - what can I do?

    Not much else to say. Switched over to Messaging to send a text, the app closed, and when I started it up again, it found no SMS. Same thing after I rebooted the phone. Any way to recover my SMS or prevent the issue from occurring again?

    Thread What version of the new CM10 bootanim works with the One X?

    Thread I'm going to take the Windows Phone Challenge. Any advice?

    A Windows Store recently opened near me. I figured I may as well give it a shot. Currently running CM10, though I might switch back to AOKP Milestone 6.3 since things are a bit more stable there. Because the competition is done from boot, I can't have apps cached. It's probably a good idea to...

    Thread Would it be useful to switch the multitasking key for a dedicated search key?

    I think it was an excellent idea for Google to push for the elimination of the menu button. It makes sense and encourages developers to unambiguously put the rest of their program's menu options in the app itself, easily accessed. On the other hand, having a dedicated key for app switching seems...

    Thread AOKP Milestone 6.2 (+other ROMs)- Has anyone else not been able to send/receive MMS?

    This seems like an APN issue, but I don't know what settings to use. It doesn't matter if I'm using the default wap.cingular or the ATT PTA APN I got from the AOKP thread, MMS just doesn't send or download. Here's my existing APN information. wap.cingular Name: ATT APN: wap.cingular Proxy...

    Thread AOKP Milestone 6.2 - Can I remap the App Switcher back to its button?

    I'm really enjoying AOKP over HTC's flavor of ICS, but there's one thing that really bothers me, and that's the app switching behavior. I know a lot of people prefer having a dedicated menu key, but I honestly don't care for it. I'd much rather use the on-screen menu buttons and have a dedicated...
