I'm a novice enthusiast when it comes to phones. When my wife needed a replacement phone after hers started to fail (I blame repeated gravity-related incidents, but she insists that's not it), I decided to see if I could transform my old V20 into a "new" V20 for her. I didn't know what was to...

Would it be possible to get this phone added as a device, or maybe a General Questions thread for blu devices? Not sure if this is improper protocol here but if I looked around a bit and that just seems like the next logical step.. I think. Lol. There is a similar thread for getting root...

Hey guys! I've been doing some research the past couple of days on flashing a custom ROM onto my phone, I'm getting pretty annoyed that I haven't gotten a system update in over a year, it's also been slow and there is a ton of bloat-ware taking up space. So after my initial round of research...

Yesterday I rooted my device thanks to you guys, which went really well and passing SafetyNet was a breeze. I just have a few questions that I'd like to get solved: 1) Play Store Certification - I accomplished this by using the fingerprint mask Magisk module, and I chose OnePlus 8 Pro Android...

So I purchased a "Moto G Power" (2020) USA unlocked. It will be arriving shortly. It looks to be the best phone in my price range, but I have 3 questions. 1 Is there anything you can do about the ram problems I keep hearing people talk about? Maybe through an xposed/magisk module preferably. 2...

I like Lineage OS but the fact the second screen stays on even when locked drains battery even with a custom Kernal. I would love to be stock and rooted but since I DS the boot.

Is it still correct to think that there are no exploits in the wild that can hurt my phone without me saying "yes install" or clicking a link in a text message? One is careful with the gaaps install, use nothing but the play store, everything should be secure? even if i can't get updates due...
