    Root Carbon Rom and ART

    Hey hey, I'm not new to rooting and custom roms, but relatively new to doing so on hammerhead. I went crazy with almost every rom and kernel out there (well at least the popular ones) and finally settled on Carbon. I got all my settings just the way I like them and I was surprised to see the...

    Help Should I...

    ...go for the s2 skyrocket? I'm on metropcs and want to upgrade from the lg motion to a gsm phone now that they are supporting gsm phones. I'm on a 300-350$ budget, and I'm torn between the s2 skyrocket and the nexus 4. Obviously the nexus 4 is more current with today's technology being...

    Metro PCS Switching to GSM phones end of next month!

    I have the motion running cm10. I'm happy with it and all, but there are a few things it simply can't do (like connect to hdmi) so I was considering going for the s3. So I went to a metro store, and for the first time there was a manager there that knew what he was talking about! I had asked a...

    Help Why can't we play any of the cool games?

    WTF? Dual core, snapdragon processor, you'd think we could play the likes of "modern combat", or some of the other awesome FPS games on the market, but we can't. We can't even try them from the market! I even tried downloading it off the black market, patching it with lucky patcher, and I...

    Looking for a does-it-all Music Player

    ARRGGHHH! I'm getting so frustrated!!! I've tried almost every player on the market, and EVERY music player app that I've tried has something wrong with it! And if it's a good one, then you gotta pay for it. Basically, I'm looking for a music player that: -has a "genre" tab -can edit tags...

    Help MMS???

    Is it just me, or is the mms for everyone's admire almost NEVER work?(it worked once that I can recall for an animated emoji) I don't know, but since I've had this phone I've never been able to send or receive mms. My girlfriend's shitty freeform can get them (and we're on the same plan!), but...

    Root Any Suggestions on a good BT Gamepad?

    Hey this isn't a tech question, but considering that most bluetooth controllers require root to work, I decided to post in this section. I'm shopping for a bluetooth gamepad, but have come across various reviews saying that they weren't compatible or that it didn't work for them. Does anybody...

    Root Is there a software/ flashable fix for hardware issues?

    Not for me, but a friend of mine and fellow admirer's power button and camera button don't work at all. He turns it on and off using the home button. Now that I have my phone just where I want it, I wanted see if I could hook him up. Or even if it's possible considering his hardware issues...
