    successful after using the offline root method to get initial root. Once that was accomplished the rest of the script worked. a couple little things noted in the quote text a few posts ago that I also ran into including turning it back on for hacked fastboot. In the end everything worked out...

    Post Case with "Active Edge" support?

    I have the Spigen Tough Armor for the XL and can confirm Active Edge works. You can configure the squeeze sensitivity in the settings to make it work better for you so there aren't accidental activations.

    Post Looks like Dirty unicorns incoming...

    I can't get excited because I tried to figure out what features this rom has that would entice me to get into unlocking/etc and I can't find any sort of place where they actually tell you why you should install their mod. Their website still lists g+, to give an idea of how good their user...

    Post Overall speed

    Upgraded from a samsung s7 edge. I disabled digital wellbeing and doubled the animation speeds in developer options. For all my day to day tasks this phone is way faster than my s7. Haven't tried any high gpu usage apps, since I don't really use those.

    Post [APP][Android 6+] Ambi-Turner - wake up ambient display

    So I got this working but is there any way to have it work with the screen up instead of down (I don't put my phone screen down) and just to have it turn on ambient display in double tap?

    Post Pixel XL CANADIAN DISCUSSION

    dropped into a telus corporate store today and picked up a black xl 32gb. I don't use much storage space. I like the device so far - nice upgrade from the HTC one m8. I really wish google made a dark theme for the phone. Night mode is fine, but I want a dark theme.

    Post [CANADA] HTC One M8 Canadian Users

    Got the lollipop update, pretty pleased so far. The only thing is I really want to get rid of the lock screen that comes before the security screen, but I can't figure out how. Is it an HTC lock screen I can't disable? I'm not rooted or S-off or anything but I want to just go straight to the...

    Post Convert to Google play edition

    I haven't found a good tutorial for doing this. Everything always says "refer to this thread" or "use this guy's instructions" and there's always some uncertainty in the mix. Do I need to s-off the device to install a gpe rom? Will I still get ota updates from google?

    Got my black carbon fiber skin today, and a buddy got a leather skin in the same order. Installed back easily (although I have to borrow a hairdryer from someone and get the corners heated, apparently), but the front took some doing, although I figured it out eventually. Not sure I like the...

    Post I think I regret buying the Nexus 4

    The nexus 4 runs fast, is a great phone to use, has sufficient battery life for me, and cost half of the HTC phone you mentioned. I really don't see the point in running benchmarks all day and not worrying about real usage and real cost. If you want to be a benchmark jockey you will always be...

    Post New SGP case!

    I bought this case and screen protector combo and have been using it for about 2 weeks. The back of the case already has visible scratches on it, I'm not sure from what. The fit is ok but just a little loose on the top, enough that it sort of scrunches if you squeeze it a bit there. Probably...
