questions

1. Does the ROM supports encryption out of the box? 2. Does it provide monthly security patches and updates via OTA? 3. If it encrypts the system by default, would it be able to install OTA updates without any issues? 4. Although I consider myself tech savvy, I want a Hassel free system and...

Hello fellow XDA users. I decided to change my aging mi5, my first thought was mi mix 2s, but i realized that almost none of the phones has home button nowadays, and maybe i'm old school, but it's kind of important to me. I realized that maybe only huawei and oneplus is the one which is keeping...

I'm a engineer for fun, and after I found out T-Mobile will be merging with Sprint, I decided to upgrade from my GSIII to a Note5 based on modability, compatibility, and my repair skills being sufficient enough to maintain it long-term. But, I wanna know from you guys which model is the best...

Hi there I just got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Global Version (SD) and I’ve got a few simple questions to throw after having some ideas about what I would like to do with it and to sail a little bit through several threads around here. First before start touching, I’d like to know how “easy” is to...

Due to their "generous" 15 day return policy. ive decided to buy a Op5t 8gb black version. After being so frustrated with my OP5 I'm going to try the latest and greatest from OnePlus and see if it improves what i want the most from a smartphone. Some damn reception. So I strongly beleive my OP5...

Hi, im new to Note 5 Dev. and been out of the loop since it was released. i had a Sony Xperia play and a Galaxy s3 before and know how to do the basic stuff to do custom roms and flash stuff etc. to those Phones. But a Note 5 is different, running on Lollipop, having EFS partition stuff and OEM...

I haven't been following the Android scene lately, and have been thinking about upgrading to Nougat. I'm running an unlocked bootloaded, TWRP, and a "debloatded + root" ROM based off stock (can't remember which one). When I say "best ROM", to me that's the least problematic ROM. I'd like to have...

Hey folks, I am Canadian that is looking to possibly import an MI5 but I figured I should find out a few things from you all that have been living with these phones for a while before buying. Are there any hardware or software issues with the MI5 that I should be concerned about? I have a sony...

I have some questions: Does the camera gets worse in custom ROMs or after unlocking the bootloader? Will it have good comunity support, AOSP roms etc? I would gladly spend more on this phone than on a S7 if I know it will have a long life with comunity support.

Hello! Just received mi max. There's a bit of stutter, especially in 9Gag and other apps, but even in system.. I got 32/3/global, the phone got ota updates immediately after opening it. There's a setting inside my settings, under dev settings that says : Settings -> additional settings ->...

I picked this phone up for $50. The first thing I did before buying it was check the IMEI. Swappa said it was ready for activation and not blacklisted. I check most of the stickies and Q&As, but I just want to make sure I don't jump the gun and do something stupid. So I guess this is where my...

So I live in NYC and signed a contract with Sprint last year only to regret it nearly instantly when I saw how crappy the service is around here. The only thing I love about having my Sprint S3 is the ease of rooting and flashing custom ROMs. Now I know the Note 3 is a brand new device, but it...

Hello, The past few days I've been experiencing random shutdowns and reboots. It just randomly turns off then displays the splash screen of "Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300". It displays that for about 4 seconds then turns off and displays it again. Most of the time when I try to go into recovery it...

I'm just tinkering and learning by doing, but since I'm quite poor I'd like to avoid anything "too stupid" :D So I'm on 1.29.401.16 and the working RUU for tmobile is much lower at 1.27.531.11. From what I've read(but mixed things on it) grabbing S-off will allow me to downgrade to that RUU...
