    I got my Nexus 4 way back in January and rooted it using some kind of PC program that did everything step by step for me. I'm pretty sure everything is stock rooted except for a custom kernel, which is paranoid android's color correction. I've had the 4.3 update notification sitting in my...

    I'm going to be buying a Note 10.1 that is still new in the box, but does not have the original receipt with the purchase.

    Root Kernels of the non popcorn variety; does one type replace all?

    Just curious if kernels come as pieces or as a whole? For example, if I flashed a kernel for color correction and then wanted to flash a kernel to fix touch screen sensitivity, would the second kernel overwrite the color corrections made by the first? Or are different kernels separate from each...

    Will the FCC proposed data roaming help sprint?

    I read an article stating that the FCC wants to make it so that any network can roam data on another network. If this comes to pass; do you think sprint will eliminate the 300mb cap they have on roaming data? I'm ready to switch but the cap on data is a deal breaker.

    I wanted to switch to sprint... too bad they dont have nationwide data.

    I really wanted to move from Verizon to sprint, but I talked to a service rep yesterday and apparently if you go into data roaming you are capped at 300mb. Damn it!
