    Thread Best Sprint SGS3 custom ROM for general Android use?

    I'm looking for the best custom ROM without worry about how it'll work as a phone. I've been using a Note 4 for a while but as it's AT&T and locked I'm limited on what I can do with it. My SGS3 has always been a reliable machine for what I use it for (mostly handheld emulation--ePSXe...

    Thread How to do full device encryption with custom recovery and 5.0+?

    A while ago I posted a workaround to use custom recovery and full device encryption and it seems like it's STILL needed, meaning I can't use TWRP, unless someone has found a ROM that has working encryption with TWRP? I've tried a few ROMs so far, as well as the latest stock ROM (NJ2 - 4.4.2)...

    Thread Workaround: how to use full device encryption with custom recovery and newer ROMs.

    Starting with Android L/Lollipop/5.0, full device encryption will be enabled by default, and for good reason. However, we slightly more security-conscious/paranoid SGS3 users have had problems for a while with using custom ROMs and keeping our encryption, as the main custom recovery with support...

    Thread [Q] KitKat Custom Recovery Decryption?

    After religiously backing up everything I could, I'm about ready to wipe my SGS3 and put a new custom ROM on it. The reason I need to fully wipe the SGS3 is because I require disk encryption on the SGS3, and no TWRP version was able to successfully decrypt my phone, nor Phil's; I figure I...

    Thread [Q] Looking for a keyboard dock w/ battery that can charge the tablet.

    I really liked this about my TF101, but I want a newer model tablet now that the screen is cracked on my TF101, and I don't like the newer Transformers. Is there any sort of keyboard dock outside of the Transformer line that can also charge the tablet using a battery in the dock?

    Thread Can't boot directly into recovery, but download works (bad bootloader?)

    After trying out one of GideonX/andrewk's unofficial 4.4.2 (KitKat) OmniROM builds (with factory reset beforehand as always), I found myself unable to boot directly into recovery mode using the same button combo as always (hold volume down), not even getting the blue text or boot loader menu. I...

    Thread [Q] Has anyone actually used encryption in JellyBean or higher?

    Ever since I started using custom ROMs over a year ago, I've had problems getting the builtin Android dm_crypt (full disk encryption) working on JellyBean and up. Usually what would happen is that it would say it's going to reboot, then do nothing (just sit at the Android logo it shows), and...

    Thread [Q] Best MultiWindow Custom ROM for Jellybean/KitKat?

    I've been a bit jealous of the stock TouchWiz ROMs with their MultiWindow, even if it is rather limited, but I still like the other features of non-TouchWiz. Any suggestions? I'm especially interested in ones developing KitKat builds. I might even give up my Ktoonz kernel even though it kicks ass.

    Thread [Q] Can't seem to encrypt with any ROM, reboots instead. How can I troubleshoot this?

    I've been trying for a while now to get my TF101 re-encrypted since I went to Custom ROMs, with no success. I even went as far to go back to stock non-rooted ROM (applying the updates one-by-one like you're suppose to) and it's *still* either rebooting or doing nothing when I select "Encrypt...
