Root Android Lollipop?

I've got a really old TB of SparePhone I bought from before they changed it to the confusing p.o.s it is now that ties my GV number to an unused Gmail account I have specifically for the phone number...works great on wifi, especially since there's no minutes to worry about or anything. The new version is so damn confusing to get to work. The apps pretty cheap though but you could probably look up the old usable version. Not that I condone warez or anything...just saying the Internet is a magical place.

Have u tried magic jack
No I haven't. However I live in California and sent away for a free phone that has unlimited minutes and texts for a year for free through budget mobile / Obama phone. Don't know if I am approved yet or not. I will just set up Google voice to forward to that phone so I won't be limited to WiFi only and every one that calls me just calls my Google voice number. The phone is free but probably not an Android 4.0 or above phone. I have seen someone with an android 2.x zte phone that they got from budget mobile. Don't even have to pay for shipping or anything. To bad I will probably be stuck with whatever suckie phone they give me and won't be able to change to another one but I will still have my "AWE"some phone in my pocket! I think all other States that budget mobile offers the lifeline plan only get 250 voice minutes and 250 texts free a month. If someone can't qualify for the lifeline plan or it's not offered in there state I would recommend ultra mobile. I got my bosses phone down from $58 a month with T-Mobile to $8.50 a month for a year with ultra mobile. The plan includes unlimited voice and texts along with 100 MB of 4g data a month. I no not much data but he really didn't use it before. He also didn't half to not use his or unlock his Windows 7.5 smartphone because ultra mobile uses the same tower's. They have very good prices for adding additional data and the best plans for calling over sea's. Dang it's 4 in the morning and I have this much energy to post all ....... that... (Head hit's phone screen) Lmao.

Right now is a good time to get upptalk, they're giving 100 free minutes a month and unlimited texting on VOIP.... I only use my phone as a WiFi device so this is fine for me.
Talkatone gives you unlimited incoming calls and texts but only 25 minutes of outbound calls a month. Doesn't matter with my setup though as voice+ has Google voice call my talkatone number and when I answer the incoming call through talkatone it calls whatever number I told it too so therefore I have unlimited outbound calls [emoji1]. Also with talkatone I have never had to change any of the advance echo and mic setting's which I always had to do with other program's like groove IP. It has more adjustable setting's then the others if I had to anyways.

.... This was until we hijacked it about free calling/texting apps.... I'm guilty of contribution, but no one listened to me, so I'm not as involved :D
I meant as a release thread. This was originally a question thread about when to expect LP. The release we have, as well as Gapps and SU, are on page 5. I asked if phenomx4 could open a release thread so others wouldn't have to dig for them as they would be on the first page
