    Post [Feature Request] bookmark video

    I want to setup bookmarks and have a-b playback and repeat just like androids Act 1 video player has had for years. It's a real shame this simple request has never been implemented as I've been requesting it for years.

    Post Tempered glass screen protector

    For years I've tried to get those thin plastic ones to work, and I could never get them on the screen without bubbles. With the tempered glass ones, they go on so smooth and perfect (I've done 3 phones so far and each was super easy, just now ordering for my G Pad 8.3 which just came...

    Post Unable to install TWRP Recovery on LG G Pad v50020f

    I'd love to know a way too. I just rooted which went great, but I have the V50020f and don't want to do another thing until I see what happens in this thread. After years of flashing and rooting I finally hard bricked my Lenovo Yoga 10 and this is my replacement tablet, so I don't want to...

    Post Installing Google Framework/Playstore without Root 5th Gen Amazon Fire 7in 2015 ONLY

    I've got root, and have the play store installed, but it can't find a connection. As soon as I open the play store it says, "Check your connection and try again, Retry". I did the ADB install and command "adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS", but...

    Post [UTIL][WIN][MT65xx] MTK Droid Root & Tools | MediaTek Android Smartphone

    A couple weeks ago I hard bricked my Lenovo Yoga 10 tablet with the Mediatek MT8125 chip. I've soft bricked it many times and have used SP Flash Tool to reflash it many times, but it's not working this time because I really messed it up. I updated something in xposed framework (which is how I...

    Thread ASUS ZenPad S 8 > CNN Live TV & Xfinity Apps won't play video!! Anyone else??

    I got my tablet today (model: ASUS ZenPad S 8 Z580C-B1-BK) and I was leary of buying a tablet with an intel chip since I've only had tablets and phones with the normal mobile chip makers. I'm not sure if these problems are because of that or not. The CNN app will play recorded videos fine, but...

    Post [Tutorial] Fix looseness from microUSB port

    I used the sewing needle with the battery out after the toothpick method still left some dust in there. It was nice getting the TONS of dust out of there, but it was still quite loose. One slight bite on the plug fixed it for good! Thanks again for this tip.

    Post [ROM] [OFFICIAL] [5.1.1] Dirty Unicorns v9.7

    LOVE this ROM. Turned my Freedompop S4 into a beast! Although there's one Stagefright issue. Using the Zimperium Stagefright Detector app it says that CVE-2015-3864 is still vulnerable! The others are patched. Is this just my phone or release wide? Is this added to fixes for the next...

    Post [Q] Wi Fi connection speed on Acer Iconia A500

    I just flashed a custom ROM ([WIP]A500/A501 JB-MR2(4.3) - V6 from Tegra Owners), and my browser and wifi transfer speeds are awesome (for the first time since honeycomb). It isn't the router. It's that ICS build that Acer unloaded on us. Unfortunately that custom ROM lags while going through...

    Post [Q] Bricked a500- stuck on boot menu.

    So I rooted and then flashed a Custom Recovery Image. Then I followed the instructions under the babsector portion of your post. I got to this part: Go back into apx mode and run 501 B.bat, Reboot into recovery and do the wipes, Reboot!!! I wasn't sure what "do the wipes" referred to so I...

    Thank you so much for the reply. I gave up this afternoon and just flashed the ota 4.0.3 version from Acer and it seems to be running really good. The only reason I was looking to flash something new is because the update from honeycomb to ics didn't take very well and I've always been dealing...

    Post [Q] A500 hangs at booting primary kernel image

    I switched to Skrilax's V9 bootloader thinking that might help but it didn't. When I do a recovery with the back up of my normal rom I made before flashing then and only then can I get past the bootloader. The backup says there's an error when recovering my data though, so I'm going to have to...

    Post [Q] A500 hangs at booting primary kernel image

    I'm having the exact same problem. I tried what you did, and it still didn't work. This is my first time flashing, so I'm not sure what to try next. I do have one idea - I thought the ROM did have a kernal, so I didn't flash one. I'm going to search for one and try that.

    I have the same exact problem, except Google Music starts off seeing all my albums on the external card, but if I try to add new ones they aren't seen. I've tried clearing the data in Google Play services, and used a couple different "refresh SD" apps. Nothing works. It's so frustrating...

    Post 3.2 postponed again, won't come on September 10th

    If you get the "MortPlayer Music" app you can play songs with the screen off. Plus it has folder views/playing. I've been using it since the 2nd day of owning the tablet (1st night my music didn't play).

    Post [Q] How can I control my pc from my tablet like teamviewer but over wifi?

    Splashtop HD works great inside the house and out. Even connected over tethering through my cellphone's 3g. Best $10 I've spent. HD is different (better for iconia) from the normal version. Although the normal one is free at GetJar.com right now (save $5 - works good on the Dell Streak 7)...

    Post About microhone

    I just bought GrooVe IP and made a test call last night. The other person could hear me just fine. I'll make some more tests, but maybe I'm not having the mic problems that others are having. I've never had any problems with the wifi not connecting or being slow after waking.

    Post Is it a good idea to get the Dagi pen for our tablet?

    I ordered the dagi 504 about a month ago and LOVE it. They threw the 501 in for free (wish I'd gotten the 506 as the bonus). The last 2 "paintings" were done with the 504. All wee done with the sketchbook pro app. http://on.fb.me/n61a36

    Post alternative launcher

    I love zeam on my phones and just side loaded it on the iconia but it wasn't good. Tiny little icons and the widgets (cnn and news 360) looked terrible or didn't work at all. Uninstalled it after screwing around with it for an hour.
