    Thread Ugh. EMUI is so broken that it is pointless trying to theme this phone.

    EMUI sure is strange when it comes to support for themes or modifications of any kind to the interface. Without the 3rd party support of an entire host of apps to make changes actually possible, the stock 'theme app' is entirely useless. Okay, so you have to install a spammy app for theme...

    Thread Why is there no discussion about the new FunkyHuawei 'kinda root' service?

    FunkyHuawei has taken kind of a weird turn recently, starting with a total conversion from a 'credit' system to a subscription model. They released info about this on the 10th, on their Twitter account: https://mobile.twitter.com/FunkyHuawei A monthly fee... Hmm, I wonder why. Could it be...

    Thread Odd glitch where phone seems to choke on websites - but only on wifi?

    I thought it was my imagination, but without a doubt my phone takes *forever* to load a website, and it doesn't matter what browser I am using. But, only on wifi. If I disable my wifi, things load in a snap. I thought I saw a few people mention something about this, is it a poor compatibility...

    Thread Is there a serious possibility that our phones will be banned?

    I'm sure it isn't news to most of you that Huawei and ZTE have been systematically attacked by the United States for a couple of years now. Carriers in the U.S. do not carry Huawei phones, and in the past couple of weeks alone things have been escalated on all fronts. Huawei stock has all but...

    Thread Onscreen navigation bar feels somewhat broken.

    I actually like the stock launcher/UI, it is amazingly clean and while I miss several key Nova Launcher capabilities I am trying to stick with it for natural theme options, etc. Clearly the launcher was designed for gesture navigation, something I have always found quite repulsive even with...

    Thread Wow, saw a Note 3 with a blue Defender...

    I finally talked a co-worker into buying a real phone, he went all out and got a Note 3. He ordered a blue Otterbox Defender and I cringed because I had read more than a few negative comments about it, never mind the fact that it was going to turn an already monstrous phone into something...

    Thread Help, cannot receive MMS no matter what I try...

    I should start out by saying that I have a Telus I317M N7105 Note 2. Other than rooting the stock 4.0, the only rom I have installed is ProBam (many times over) and to my knowledge it does not touch the modem files or the APN settings. I just recently learned that while I can send MMS messages...

    Thread Bottom line steps to upgrade rooted 4.4 to 4.4.2?

    Okay, I am in the same boat as many others here. I am running a rooted stock 4.4 with the Elemental 2.3 kernel, along with the two dalvik/bionic hacks and naturally xposed with all sorts of modules. My recovery is TWRP 2.6.1.0., and my device is a 2013 N7 wi-fi model. I think I used Wug's...

    Thread Asphalt 8 crashes on fresh Kitkat?

    Just as I was gathering up all the stuff to sideload Kitkat onto my 'just out of the box' Nexus 7, my screen on the N7 flashed up an OTA with 4.4 ten minutes after being turned on. (haha) The very first app I installed was Asphalt 8, 1.56G later and it just crashes every time I try to run it...

    Thread What is the most fun you can have without root?

    Friend of mine bought a Note 3, he has no plans to root it though and I can't blame him because unless things have changed the triangle of doom is not removable... Right? Anyway, can you guys list some must have tweaks for a stock phone? I am so used to having root on my Note 2 that I take...

    Thread Critical Nandroid tip for N00BZ

    Okay, after crushing up my heart pills and sprinkling them into my open eyeballs, surviving several strokes, and having a stiff drink... I have a very 'hot tip' for everyone who plans to use nandroid as a backup/restore system. I have rooted my phone, then installed TWRP as a custom recovery...

    Thread [Q] Is the Telus Note 2 identical to the AT&T for rom purposes?

    My titles says it all, I have rooted my Telus SGH-I317M long ago but want to get into trying some custom roms (in particular, the ProBAM v4.4.2 "Strike!!" rom). Now, I have seven billion tabs open, and am learning this stuff as fast as I can, but... Can someone tell me whether I am to...
