My current N910V is dying. I bought another as a replacement. It is stock 5.1.1 If I can remember how to root, I need a good solid, reliable ROM to use as daily driver. My old phone was on paulpizzrom (6.0.1) and it was reliable but is not being supported any more. What would be a good ROM...

I'm on a Verizon Note 4 (N910V). Bootloader unlocked, rooted, and TWRP installed. It is on the stable version of hsbadr's Unofficial CM13 6.0.1. The bootloader version is CPD1. Flashfire has special instructions for Samsung devices with protected partitions. There is no data on the phone that I...

I just Ebayed into a Note 4. I wanted the N4 for it's AMOLED display and camera. I don't know how I feel about the S Pen. I'm new to it. The phone came with 6.0.1, build MMB29M, baseband N910VVRU2CPF3. When I get a phone I usually want to root it, clean off the bloat and install TWRP. I...

I am on stock rooted Android 5.0.1, 24B, Lollipop, and have bumped TWRP 2.8.7.0 I know that Andoroid 6.0 is supposed to be headed for the LG G3 in the next few months. I also, know that Verizon is painfully slow to update their phones. I wonder what the best upgrade path might be, for me? 1.)...

I just bought a used VS985 24B 5.0.1. Every so often it just doesn't boot. Pushing buttons does nothing. If I pull the battery, it boots normally, and behaves normally for a while. Then it happens again. I have read lots of folks have similar problems with their G3s, but couldn't find any...

There are lots of guides to rooting the Verizon LG G3. Many of them are older and have problems working on the 24B software version of Android 5.0.1. I guess I have 2 questions: 1) Is there presently a method to root this phone? 2.) TWRP says, "you must be rooted and vulnerable to BUMP to use...

Verizon is teasing an October OTA update to 4.3 for our Galaxy S3s. I am on rooted and unlocked, stock 4.1.2, VRBMB1 with TWRP 2.6.3.0. I am hoping to see a rooted, unlocked version available here shortly after the 4.3 OTA releases. I think i am not the only one in this boat. Can someone...

I was trying to update TWRP and downloaded the zip. When I used Root Explorer to see where the file had downloaded, I noticed that the folders on my SD have changed. (or at least I think they have). when I open "storage" I think I had different folders. Now all I see is extSdCard, sdcard0, and a...

I have a stingray, Moto Xoom running Team eos 4 (build 197). I was trying to update the binary in SuperSU and when it failed I no longer had root access. SuperSU 1.51 is installed, the superuser binary is installed, busybox binary and Busybox applets are installed. Root access is "not...

I am on stock 4.1.2, VRBMB1. I am rooted, unlocked and with TWRP recovery. I have used Titanium to freeze SDM 1.0. I am considering going to VRBMF1. I don't know how to safely get there. I also don't know what improvements might come with the OTA to MF1. Should I just hang out with VRBMB1...

I just finished reading an article in the July 8-14, of Bloomberg Businessweek, that discussed NSA programmers refining code, that Google has approved to include in Android. The end product is called, "Security Enhanced Android". The NSA code is supposed to isolate apps to prevent hackers and...

My i535 is on a rooted, unlocked stock, 4.1.2, baseband I535VRBMB1, with TWRP 2.5.0.0. My primary concern with the phone is it's spotty reception. I have thought that newer basebands would be the better ones, but from reading here I gather that is not always true. Can someone point me to some...

Is there any way to stop the OTA from requesting to be installed. Do I have to root it and alter files with Root Explorer? Which files? Is there a way to have the phone stop notifying me of the upgrade without root?

If I start the Google Navigation app on my Verizon Galaxy s3, 4.1.2, The map will load, and after I enter a destination, the map will show my location and the directions to the destination, but it there is "searching for GPS" on the bottom of the screen and the voice directions doesn't start...

I just finished restoring my Samsung Galaxy SIII after jumping into the latest Verizon OTA without checking it out first. (Mistake!):eek: I like what I have now, but would like to see if a custom ROM might be a little less loaded with Samsung and Verizon bloat. I am not interested in tons of...

There are times that I want to use either TWRP, CWM, or Rogue recoveries. Has anyone ever come up with a method of choosing from more than one recovery when booting? I have a bunch of nandroids saved on CWM and don't want to risk losing them. I have one or two from when I was using TWRP as...

My Xoom came with a Cyber Acoustics leather case. It has a lot of advantages, is very well made, but I would like something that simply protects the case and allows me to use the HD audio dock, without removing it. Access to all the ports and the power button is an obvious "must have". Grippy...

I don't have enough posts here to be allowed to post this in the development forum, so I figured this might be a place to ask about my issue. I have a MZ602 (4G) and was coming from rooted ICS 4.0.4. I used TWRP and wiped cache, dalvik and system. I flashed the latest nightly (120) and GAPPs...

When I started shopping for a Xoom, I knew that getting one that would work on 3G/4G would get me advantages over the Wifi version. That's where my knowledge stopped. Are there any advantages to having the CDMA/LTE capability, besides being able to get data outside of wifi areas? Am I...

I have a rooted Droid X. I know what apps I would load on that. I just got a Xoom. It is coming with 4.0.4 on it. What apps should I load first (prior to rooting)? Will most of the things that I use on my Droid X work with the Xoom? Is there something like to Voodoo Rootsaver that I would use...
