Okay, so here's where I'm at: Purchased Black/Silver F916U1 from Samsung with ALL of the extras, Watch, Buds, Kevlar, etc.: As most of you know, the U1 has no WiFi Calling or Visual Voicemail on AT&T. Neither Samsung nor AT&T will do ANYTHING to put the carrier specific features on the U1...

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm having a hard time finding a phone that is sprint compatible that allows the bootloader to be unlocked and obtain root. I read the new s10 5g from sprint can have bootloader unlocked. I've been out of the rooting game since the s6 I believe and I want...

I haven't been following the Android scene lately, and have been thinking about upgrading to Nougat.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to get the AOSP lockscreen on the LG roms. Most of my problems with it stem from the way notifications and the lockscreen works, all of my notification issues are solved with xposed but the lockscreen is something I just can't get past. The layout...

HI all, I'm thinking of buying a new phone. Currently I own the Samsung Galaxe Ace 2. I feel this phone was overpriced at the time I bought it and never was really happy about it. From what I hear the Moto G (2nd gen) seems like a very good buy and I wanted to hear from the users (you guys)...

So as the title says. I'm working on a cm11 theme. I basically want to theme everything except for the "styles" itself because this is an addon theme to another theme. However, if I remove the "overlays" folder, the icons quit working. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong or is this a bug in the...

Hi guys/gals, I'm looking at picking up a Tab Pro 8.4 tomorrow, and was hoping to get some current/past owner insight. I'm no newcomer to the Android game, and, like every other device I own or have previously owned, I will be rooting this pretty much as soon as I get it. I've taken a gander at...

My Samsung Galaxy SII with CyanogenMod 10.1.3-i9100 (stable) has the weirdest ringtone problem: if my wife calls the ringtone is the one I've assigned for her, if the next caller is unknown, it rings with my wife's ringtone, not with the default one... This happens with any of my specific...
