    Post Daydream unlocker + NFC workaround + controller [Magisk]

    I tried this on a Oneplus 7 pro, which seems almost ideal for Daydream with its high-resolution 90Hz OLED screen and powerful hardware. Got me a brick and a free round in the re-installation game... It's a real shame, not because I think that mobile phone based VR is a mainstream thing, but...

    More custom kernel.. Hi Uvnesh, thanks for your answer! Sorry to dig deeper: Would you be able to dig out in what area that single (life changing) line was or even where it came from? Would it have a negative impact on phones that do not suffer from the focus problem? Because at the moment...

    MiraCast and DisplayLink do work As others mentioned, MHL or HDMI over USB type C are proprietary solutions which Le Max simply doesn't support. It's really too bad, because the hardware is powerful enough to drive a big screen with some serious desktop work like M$ Office. I've use...

    How can a 64-bit ROM be ported to a 32-bit device? If I undestand correctly, these ports essentially take the N7 userland, which should be more or less device independent (not (Oracle) Java bytecode, but something similar) and put them on a Note 3 specific kernel. Yet when I install CM on...

    Post Le Max 2 All Official Stock firmware links (IN 19s & CN 26s Added)

    X822 seems to be a 2.2GHz binned SoC vs. 2.15GHz According to the item description on spemall.com, the X822 actually increases the clock to 2.2 GHz, but there is only the 4GB/32GB variant. Guess that won't be maintained if you flash another ROM which doesn't have 2.2 GHz tables inside.
