    Channels tied to the forums? . - Channels

    I've noticed that since installing this, every time I post on the forums it automatically subscribes me to the thread. It's rather annoying as I only subscribe to threads that have links that I want to keep track of. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Root AutoRec disaster!

    I tried to install TWRP with the AutoRec twrp installer that every guide says to use. It installed, and I was able to boot into it and make a backup. Upon rebooting though, I got a boot certification error. I could still get into TWRP, so I tried to restore the stock recovery and lost recovery...

    Root Rollback Boost G3?

    Got a G3 from Boost recently and it came with Lollipop, which immediately updated to 5.0.1. Honestly, I'm very disappointed with it. Many features I liked in KitKat are gone, and things that have been added were a bad move, IMO (you can't toggle data with a non system app without root! Really?!)...

    Help MMS issues in Textra

    Was getting mms retrieval errors in Textra. Switched to system and set mms settings and received a couple messages successfully, but then started getting errors again. Any solutions?

    Root Converting to Wi-Fi only device

    I got my tax return today, and went out and picked up a G3. I plan on making my Volt into a mini tablet for the kids, so now things like 4G function and qremote are no longer an issue. Just need Wi-Fi, and basic function, so which is the best ROM at this point? I hadn't been paying much...

    Where to buy?

    So I'm looking to get a G3 with my tax return, which is due to be deposited tomorrow. I'm with Boost. Does anyone know if any place has a good deal? Don't want a used one, and I'd rather not order one.

    Root System UI suddenly crashing

    So this is weird, and I'm at a loss to fix it. The phone's been working fine, but suddenly, as of a few minutes ago, anytime I attempt to open the recents screen, the system UI crashes, reboots, and goes back to the lockscreen. I've turned off FreeMo and Boost Dealz, disabled all xposed modules...

    Boost Dealz

    Just a heads up to anyone using the Boost Dealz app. I got my credit, but the auto pay system doesn't look at your account balance. They are allegedly working on fixing the problem, but until then you have to make manual payments to use the credit. This would apply to credit earned from FreeMo too.

    Root Slide Aside MOD

    All credit for this port goes to Curtis. I just repackaged the zip, which may be incorrect. Can be manually installed by copying the apk to system/priv-app and adding the line found in tmp/misc to your build.prop. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24411628330025564

    Root Netflix display/crash issue

    I've been messing with my nook color again lately and installed mrom jellybean. With some performance tweaks it's running pretty good. I installed Netflix and remembered why I didn't keep it before. Screenshot below shows the issue, which is followed by the app crashing, especially if you hit...

    Root Question about backups

    When you make a backup with TWRP, it covers system, data and boot. So, since our internal storage is emulated within system space, does it actually get backed up too?

    Root Quick remote for Lollipop ROMs!

    Just stumbled across this looking for a mod for the KitKat Quick remote. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-quickremote-port-aosp-t2929146 This issue was the main thing keeping me from running an LP ROM. I might have to make a backup and test this out, although if someone...

    Pebble Timeline Beta apk

    I had requested to join the beta group, but when checking to see if I had been accepted yet, I found this link to download the beta app on apkdot. There's also a Pushbullet sub option so you can get notified if an update it posted. https://apkdot.com/developer/pebble-technology-corp/ Only...

    Root (Old) SQL Lite Editor for Root Explorer

    I found an old version of the add on SQL Lite editor for Root Explorer on a github. It will not run from outside of Root Explorer, but works fine when you open a database from within RE. https://code.google.com/p/xdroidx/downloads/detail?name=SQLite%20Editor-9.apk

    Root Question about updater-scripts

    I was wondering if it is possible to make an interactive updater-script? Like, say I make a package to install and uninstall various apps. Can I have it stop at certain points and ask the user if they want to execute that action?

    Root Core Control / Temperature Throttle?

    I have two options in the Thermal section of Kernel Adiutor, as listed in the title. As far as I've been able to find, Core Control enables throttling, which I'm taking to mean it has to be enabled for Temperature Throttle to function. Yet it warns that having multiple options enabled can cause...

    Root 4G connection?

    So I have GravityBox set up to show connection status/quality via color of the signal icon. It always shows orange, which I believe indicates a partial connection, unless I'm on Wi-Fi. However, I just did a speed test with what I consider to be a good result. Is it possible that the indicator is...

    Root Better root text editor?

    So I've been using Root Explorer to do build.prop edits and such but I've recently noticed that it only loads 128k. This hasn't been an issue until I was adding a bunch of tweaks to my build.prop and couldn't paste them all in. Was also trying to look through logs and could see the whole file...

    Root Disable Ringpad?

    Is there any way to truly disable the ringpad? I've had it disabled by simply uninstalling all the apps that were on it, but just noticed that it's been reactivated by Firefox search. Gravitybox and G2/G3Tweaksbox both fail to disable it. I didn't see anything obvious in shortcut master...

    Google Opinion Rewards

    Wish you had the couple bucks to get the pro or ad free version of an app? Google Opinion Rewards has the solution. You get short (some are literally one question, usually not more than 4) surveys and are rewarded with store credit. The screenshot shows what I've earned to date. I started using...

    Free screen recorder with internal sound

    Just stumbled across SCR Screen Recorder. It used to be on the Play Store but was removed for allegedly violating the something. Anyway, they are now providing it free, asking for donations on the site. Along with internal audio recording, it supports FaceCam with mic along with the internal...

    Root LG Security Error?

    OK, so I want to try my hand at building a ROM. I found a guide to create a ROM from a backup, so I made a backup of my system, converted some apps that I wanted in the ROM to system apps. Then I booted into recovery, did a factory reset and wiped internal storage and cache. When I rebooted to...

    New Boost plans

    Boost had some new plans available again, now with growing data. For $35/mo ($30 with autopay), you get 2GB of data which will become 5GB after 18 on time payments! I don't know if you get knocked back down to 2 if you miss after that, but it's a great deal! There are similar plans with higher...

    Root Crappy Bluetooth?

    So I've noticed something...I have a Pebble, and Bluetooth in my car. When I'm playing music through the radio and the watch updates or gets a notification, it interrupts the music. I am assuming this is because the Bluetooth can't handle 2 things at once. I've confirmed that it's not a data...
