    Screen Casting on OxygenOS 11.x

    I feel old. When trying to screencast, aren't all the devices supposed to be on your local LAN WiFi? Oxygen OS 11.x.x.x, OnePlus Seven Pro bootloader unlocked but not rooted, what else . . . . Thanks for helping an old geezer who used to stay on top of all this stuff.

    What was Your First Android Device?

    Motorola Sholes, AKA A855 OG Droid. Bought on release day. Rooted just as soon as the method was found. My my my, the memories. alldroid.org, sholes.info, all those other sites that have now gone bye bye. Hell, I used to have some of the first guides out there compiled and used to host a...

    What a Ride

    Hehe. A couple weeks late for this post, but who here remembers logging into VZW first thing the morning of November 6, 2009 to order your Motorola A855? Because whatever iDon't, Droid Does! And then the rooting and plethora of websites that have come and gone in its wake. This is one that...

    Root How to unlock the bootloader on the Nexus 6

    OK, this is just a quickie to kick start this section. Obviously we will be putting the usual stickies in here, but I just wanted to make a start to remind us how nice and easy it is to get bootloader unlock and eventually root on a Nexus device. First, the Motorola drivers. Then you will...

    Howdy all. Yeah, I've been fairly derelict at this site. So I hope y'all forgive me and help me out. [blah, blah, blah]This device is my first Android HTC device and I've been really liking the 6.0 sense features (been on Viper 1.8 for a while now), you know: double tap to wake/sleep, flip up...

    Root [VZW][ROM][4.4.2] OSE nightly unofficial announcement

    A funny thing happened while browsing about the world today. I found a section in teamose for the m8ose. I didn't find a thread, no announcement and as such, at this time I would only say that this is probably only for the REALLY brave to try. But here it is for now: Directory listing of...

    Root Something to watch for: custom kernel+sdcard >32 gig

    Looks like the source to support sdcards larger than 32 gig is a bit tricky when it come to compiling a custom kernel at this point: xda-developers - View Single Post - [KERNEL] (001) HTC One m8 (3.4+ Hybrid/UV/OC/Intelliplug/active) [04-09-2014]

    Amber gold version for VZW available only at Bestbuy!

    I saw the amber gold version as a dev phone only and when I went to VZW it was only silver or gunmetal. I don't know why, but the gold has had me since the trim on the Motorola A855. So today I found and ordered me one of them from Best buy. And it was $50 off the regular upgrade price...

    Root [HELP] Tell me everything I need to know, lol.

    OK, I'm potentially coming from the Samsung SCH-I515 and before that the Motorola A855. From that, obviously my carrier is VZW in case it was missed in my profile. I have read a tiny bit of the stuff specific for a HTC device, but now want the power primer. I already know that S-OFF is the...

    Root Do we have bootloader unlock?

    I'm late to this device, but it looks quite awesome. Did some quick searchy for bootloader unlock (a BIG per-requisite for me) and found this: How to Unlock HTC One M8 Bootloader (All variants) | DroidViews Thoughts? TIA

    [Verizon] [ROM] [4.4.2][HALO][SlimPie][PaPIE][Wifi Display]CM-REMIX-Burst-Kernel-KANG

    I am only the messenger, so do not expect a lot of help from me on this ROM. Looks like development is still alive and well for the toro over at xda. Here's one I'm using right now which is pretty stable and has almost as many features (or more in some ways) than the old Sourcery: [ROM]...

    Why is the FAQ section at the bottom?

    For quite some time I have wondered why the FAQ sub-forum is buried at the bottom of the main forum page. With all the great info in there why have it buried at the bottom of the page? I suggest moving it from Community Info and Talk to the top under at least Android Community or even above...

    Using your Android device as a stand alone GPS device

    Well, I am excited about this new possibility. I have in the past extolled OruxMaps and still recommend that app as the one app that makes our android device just like any other GPS device; you can download maps for offline use; you can create tracks and waypoints and the ability to upload said...

    What size SIM card does the "M" take?

    I've stumbled across the fact that the Razr M could be my next phone (Gawd, how I miss a Moto). Anyways, does the Motorola XT907 take the same size SIM card as the Samsung SCH-I515. Or in layman's terms, will my VZW Gnex SIM card work in the Moto Razr M? TIA

    Why not a USCC All things root sub-forum~Galaxy S4

    Hey, call me stupid as I know nothing at all about this device. But I do know a thing or two about android and US carriers in general. Why is there an ATR sub forum for this device for Metro PCS and not one for USCC? Last time I checked USCC is #5 as a provider and they and VZW _usually_ are...

    What's the time out?

    Hope this is the right place, but I was posting away in the Guest Questions section today and suddenly I was logged out. It wasn't after any amount of inactivity, I just hit the refresh button to see what I had answered and pre-fixed and suddenly I noticed I was logged out. Hmmm . . . .

    Android Market share

    Who would have thought this would happen? On November 8, 2009, IOS and RIM were the kings in the smartphone market. On November 9, 2009, the Motorola A855 (OG Droid) was released. I don't care who you are, that single phone put Android on the map. Not only that but put Android on a fast...

    [Verizon] My 'sdcard' problem

    Well, I spent my days off crack flashing a bunch of 4.2.2 roms and didn't find enough to make me want to keep them over my 4.1.2 Sourcery 3.2 rom. So, like the last time, after restoring my 4.1.2 nandroid, I set about copying/moving everything from the /sdcard/0 folder to /data/media then...

    [Verizon] Possible fix if you don't like the Clock on 4.2.2

    Well, I didn't do this but we may have an up and coming app developer, dworph, who has come up with an experimental mod if you can't stand the 4.2.2 deskclock and want your old 4.1.x one back. It seems to have some customization available as to colors and such as well. Note, this is experimental...

    [Verizon] Important info for flashing to Jelly Bean (4.2.x) from 4.1.x ROM's(last update 5/11/13)

    So, though this sticky is a bit behind the times, I did first start noticing problems with Jelly Bean 4.2.x as I polled and pointed out here: Is a full 4.2 ROM really worth the trouble? While still called "Jelly Bean" the update from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.x changes the file structure of the...
