    It's anyone here familiar with this firewall app? Is it any good (functionally as well as ethically)?

    Llama doesn't know where I am

    On my last phone (rooted Jelly Bean), Llama tasked my locations via cell towers. On unrooted Marshmallow, it only knows my whereabouts when I have GPS on. Any idea how I can fix this?

    File Explorers can't write to SD card?

    I'm not rooted. I have ES FILE EXPLORERS and RootExplorer. Neither can create a folder on my SD card. How do I grant them permission?

    Accessing non default apps

    Darn marshmallow seems to quickly force the user to select a default app for each function (browsing, photos, music...). Once that's done, the Share functions completely avoid the other apps. Are there any good work arounds?

    Favorite flash browser

    For years, I used Dolphin for flash. Now, having read of their evils, I need something else. I tried puffin but there's a fair bit about it that I dislike (no tap for zoom, no clear data on exit...). What are some other favorites?

    Root Need help, not sure which subforum

    My 2.5 year old Galaxy 4S (I545VRUEMK2) has recently started locking up dead. Often right after it has had little use (charging, sitting on a counter, pulled from a pocket, etc.), it refuses to turn on without the battery being pulled. The buttons occasionally light and the phone occasionally...

    Amazon apps...Are any of 'em good?

    I have 501 coins to use by June at the Amazon app store. I don't game. Are there any good paid apps in the Amazon app store or should I just let my coins go.

    Amazon Underground...did you agree to the permissions?

    I'm tempted to get Amazon Underground for the (very) rare good free app. However, the permissions seem a bit excessive. Did anyone here accept it?

    Play store stops when trying to install any app

    I'm at rooted and at 4.3 on my Samsung GS4. As of this morning, I can't install any apps. It started when I tried updating TuneInPro. I've cleared the Play Store cache and restarted my phone to no avail.

    Tapatalk forgets my forum order

    Every few days or weeks, Tapatalk forgets the order I've configured for my forums. So, I have to go through the tedious process of re-ordering them. Does anyone else have this problem? I'd there a work around?

    A way to clear cache from (most) apps at once?

    Occasionally, one or more apps seem to get hung up re-using old data, i.e., my Weatherbug just stopped updating my location. I know how to go to AppSettings, select the app, wait....wait...wait for my phone to tally the memory, and then tap Clear Cache. Is there a quick way to occasionally...

    Where is Google Music downloads stored?

    Yesterday, I snagged these three free playlists. Then, in Play Music, I downloaded the playlists so that I can access this music without a connection. However, I can't find any trace of these downloads using ES or Root Explorer, Where is this music stored and can it be made accessible to...

    My Amazon store apps need connectivity...why?

    Most, if not all of, my Amazon app store apps seem to require connectivity to open. If they've been opened recently (with connectivity), they may open the next time without connectivity. Any idea why and what I can do?

    Most of my Amazon FAOTD can't run w/o data

    Has anyone else found that their apps from the Amazon AppStore won't run without a data connection despite many of these apps being "free-standing"? One of my favorites, AnatomyEssentials3 will run fine behind a pop-up stating an internal error was happening due to a lack of a data connection...
