    Root Current root method?

    Verizon is my carrier. I'm hearing HTCDev works with it now. Do I use that for the S-off and what not, or do I have to use Sunshine because I have the one phone you have to pay to root? Basically I want to remove bloat ware, take out the volume warning, and be able to use ACR again. I might try...

    Help Ads pop up everywhere?

    My girlfriend's phone has ads popping up. They're full screen, noisy, and aren't confined to anything. They pop up no matter what she's doing. Virus scans and ad blockers haven't been successful, and she doesn't know which app is causing it. Is there a way to narrow down which app is doing it...

    Help "Dianxin" folder overtaking storage at random?

    Twice now this folder has appeared, and twice I've deleted it. Shows up and takes up enormous amounts of space and grows until the storage space is filled and the "clear storage space" thing pops up in notifications. It happened just overnight and the thing was 12.45 GB and had completely...

    Help My phone is trying to force an upgrade to Lollipop.

    I was going to hold off on this and eventually root after I bought Sunshine or a free alternative was released. I woke up a minute ago and it just said "Lollipop is ready to install". I clicked to install later and it made me set a time. How do I stop it? Other than wanting to root, I don't...

    Root Should I wait for Lollipop before rooting?

    I was planning on waiting a few weeks before upgrading.g to Lollipop when it comes out to read if it is worth it. Read some scary stuff about it. I was wondering if I should wait before rooting because I assume rooting would make upgrades a hassle. I rooted my Razr, but they had long since...

    Help How do I stop Chrome from using apps?

    Chrome opens the YouTube app automatically half the time, and with IMDB on Google searches, the option to open on the website is at the bottom of the result. I don't like this, I only use the YouTube app to upload videos. How do I remedy this?

    Lollipop is now available for manual install with GSM edition M8/M7

    Kinda surprised this hasn't been posted yet. The download link looks like it's from http://www.latintimes.com/android-501-lollipop-htc-one-m8-one-m7-downloads-available-now-manual-update-video-281741 Download link in that article is from Google, but be wary just in case I'm wrong. I haven't...

    Help Zoom on the default Gallery app?

    The default gallery app is awful at zooming. I don't think it even goes past the default size. The "Photos" app does, but it doesn't sort them into folders and some recently downloaded pics show up at the bottom. I just got the QuickPic app and it looks good, but sorting by date only works to an...

    Root Will Lollipop allow root access?

    Guy at Verizon said Android 5.0 is going to allow access to where rooting wasn't required. I wouldn't mind having Xprivacy and a few other things on my HTC One M8

    IMSI catchers.

    Apparently there is an app in development to detect them. I was also reading about cops being able to access the contents of your phone from their car in some areas. Is there any way to protect yourself from this blatant disregard of our constitutional rights? Would encryption help at all? If...

    Need help deciding between HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5

    So far my only issue with the HTC is the camera being inferior to the GS5. I'm also a little biased against the Galaxy series because my sister had previous ones in the series and couldn't get a signal hardly at all in our rural area even though I could with the same carrier on both my HTC...

    Couple questions because Im considering getting an M8.

    Was seriously considering this phone. I have a Droid RAZR now, and had a HTC Incredible before this, so I have faith in HTC. I'm sort of torn between the HTC1 M8 and the Galaxy S5. The main reason I am torn is because I was reading the camera on the HTC was god awful. It really disappointed me...

    Root Can someone please explain backups?

    I need to make a nandroid backup for my device before I start messing with Paranoid Android and Xprivacy in case I screw up and break my phone. Someone has said Safe strap, but I'm pretty confused about it. Some people say download a stock ROM for my device, others are saying make a backup, I...

    Root Alternative to Titanium?

    I'm wanting to try out different things like Xpose and Xprivacy, but I'm scared to do anything without backing up first in case I screw up my RAZR. I want insurance lime the NAND file on the Wii. Problem is, I can't afford Titanium at the moment, is there a free alternative? I'm notching to try...

    Hallo to the forumdroid site!

    Hey, just got here. Not much to say about myself other than I've spent way too much time in the last week trying to beat an old Super Nintendo game and I feel guilty about it. I have a Droid RAZR and I came here to learn how to root it.
