    So I have finally gotten OTG to work! Was hard but in the end it was a ridiculously simple fix in the kernel source that got OTG working for the LG Volt. I compared other kernels for other devices that have the MSM8226 chipset and also have OTG. I found out that our LG Volt's kernel has...

    I enabled full disk encryption and now scripts involving the /data partition fail to load. Once I get past the password screen and run these scripts manually they work fine.

    Root Is there a solution better than Link2SD?

    I have a large sd and I use Link2SD to use the sd card to store my apps. This requires two partitions which is cumbersome when my phone uses the smaller first partition for photos and downloads. My roundabout solution has been to bind mount these to the second partition but this leads to more...

    [How to] Getting audio working inside a chroot

    Ok so this took me a while to find, because of that I'd like to share how you can get audio working inside a Chroot that's running on your LG Volt. I will not cover how to set up a Linux Chroot but that should be easy if you use "Linux Deploy" from the app store, here. So some of you might know...
