    Thread Rooting options for the S10 family

    I need to get something straight, as I didn't quite get it. So the options for someone who'd like to root his S10 are 3: 1) Rooting with Topjohnwu method: This will get you root on the stock rom, but will keep the default recovery which is pretty much useless if one wanted to flash a custom rom...

    Thread Package disabler for theme store

    Anybody knows if the paid version of this app can help disabling the theme store and using paid themes for free? I read somewhere that it can work, but the apk found on the web (older versions) do not seem to do the trick. So I could buy the app, but I'd like to know if it works for that...

    Thread The usual: recovery is not seandroid enforcing! FIXED

    OK, I know this is a problem that many before had and I've researched the subject thoroughly. But I've only found ways to recover your phone from the soft-brick (one of those fake rubber bricks used in movies:laugh:) status which was something I did by myself by flashing a stock recovery via...

    Thread General questions about rooting

    Hello, just got my Z4 after my old Z just got in the hand of my 2-year old son :rolleyes: I had rooted and installed a custom rom on that one (CM 12), but I never bothered with Sony own "things" such as the Bravia engine and all. Now, given that there are not yet any interesting roms for the...

    Thread Non-sense rom with decent audio

    The question is all in the thread title: is there a non-sense rom for the one m8 that has decent audio quality? It would be a pity to not being able to exploit the great sounding speakers of this phone (eithr with the boomsound or HK option), but I don't use sense as a home, so sense based roms...

    Thread 3 minit battery mod?

    Has anyone developed this cool mod for the M8? I have it on my LG G3 and love it, but couldn't find it here. There are instructions on how to include it in any rom, but, although I think it sounds quite easy, I have never done it before and it wouldn't be exactly a walk in the park for me. But...

    Thread [Q] Bumping????

    Hello everyone! I just don't get it. Can anyone explain to me what's the difference between flashing a bumped rom and flashing the same rom un-bumped? I just don't get the whole point of it! Sorry, but coming from a Nexus device (why have I ever changed!!!) I'm new to these things. So, other...

    Thread [Q] General question about custom LP roms

    Hello, I'm new to his device and coming from Nexus I'm a little puzzled: I would like to know if there's any custom LP rom that would allow to tweak screen colors as the stock can.

    Can anyone address me to a dark themed google now launcher? I had it in Thyrus dark theme for terminus rom and, since I don't know how to extract that feature (for my own personal use, of course) from the theme, I was wondering if there's a ready-made version somewhere. Thanks for any help

    Thread Problem with PhilZ recovery!

    Hello, I thought of myself as a pretty experienced user, but you never learn enough! However, I flashed some roms (lollipop) that, probably due to my mistakes, screwed up my file system, to the point that my recovery (latest PhilZ) wasn't able to find its backup anymore. Eventually I solved the...
