    Help LG G3 Bluetooth dropping!

    Hi folks, I have a 2006 BMW with bluetooth which is obviously quite old now, however this has worked perfectly for handsfree calls with every phone I've had from Nokia brick up to Galaxy S3 last year. However, I've now got a new LG Optimus G3 and find that it will pair and work for a short time...

    Root [International] Vanilla 4.4 rom with NFC polling modes?

    I've been using slimbean 4.3 for a long time and make use of the screen-off nfc polling quite a bit. I'd like to upgrade to a 4.4 rom but unfortunately Slimkat doesn't support NFC polling modes. So what I want is.... - Pure vanilla 4.4 (non-touchwiz) rom - NFC polling modes by default -...

    Ok this is driving me mad... I have a galaxy s3 i9300 which I have tried with CM10.1, Liquidsmooth 4.3 and now AOKP 4.3. All with fully clean installs. Whatever I try, when I install "unlock key" apps from google play, namely the following; - Safe Camera Pro Key - Poweramp Full Version...

    4.3 phone icon not theming...

    Running android 4.3, tried various roms (AOSP, CM10.1.3, Liquidsmooth 4.3) and I'm having the annoying glitch that the phone app icon will not theme. Whatever icon theme I use, there is the phone icon in its annoying blue original stock android form. Anyone else had this issue or know how it...

    Root [International] S3 Vanilla 4.1/2 ROM with call recording?

    Hi folks, so I got me an S3 bargain, woohoo! But after five minutes I want to feed it through a shredder due to samsung's (and vodaphone's) horrible horrible mix of overlay and bloatware. Yuck. I feel dirty. So, what I need is recommendations for a stable vanilla 4.1 or 4.2 custom rom with...

    Root [International Tegra 3] Hox --> hox+?

    So I want a new phone. Must have a great screen in the region of 5 inches, 32gb onboard (or SD), and vanilla android 4.1. Obviously the One X+ looked pretty good and I do like the added battery life, but the price seems very difficult to justify - I don't think I really need the extra storage...

    How to deny facebook location data

    Hi folks, have installed the new native facebook app and disappointed to note that even with location turned off in the app's own settings, the app still requests gps data occasionally. Obviously I could toggle GPS off and on when I need it, but I prefer to leave it available for other apps...

    Root Jellytime GPS non-existant - baseband issue?

    Hi folks, as discussed in another thread I have issues with several roms completely failing to get any GPS data. Even the GPS icon won't appear in the status bar. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue because some roms still work absolutely fine. I was mooching around XDA on this issue...

    Root Overclocking DHD

    Hi folks, have been doing some research and it seems some people are running their DHD at 1.5ghz with no issues. I've even seem suggestions that the same processor is used at 1.5ghz in other stock phones. So I'm wondering, have any folk on here had experience overclocking the DHD, if so with...

    Root Novo 7 Mars... same as Aurora to root?

    Hi folks, have just ordered a Novo 7 Mars for my daughter. I'm thinking I'd like to either; - Root it and remove chinese apps or - upgrade it to 4.1 via a custom rom. From what I gather there's no custom roms available for this model, so I'm expecting option 2 to be out! (happy...

    Root Jellytime call recording?

    As some of you might know I recently caught the custom rom bug in a big way. Have tried most of the roms going for the DHD over the last week (yes, bit of tech OCD...) and settled on the excellent jellytime. I've just flashed the most recent r24 version. So... I notice on the Jellytime...

    Root What backup to use before trying new rom?

    Hi folks, I've been reading threads about various backup options. I've got jellytime r22 but speakerphone doesn't work - which I would ideally like to have, but could live without. Thing is I've tweaked by phone JUST how I like it and I'd really like to be able to put it all back! So if I...

    Root Jellytime on DHD - good enough for a work phone?

    Hello! Have Desire HD. Tired of 2.3.5, had a play with a Nexus 7 and love 4.1. Also I wouldn't miss all the HTC bloatware. This seems to point to switching to a custom rom. I have never done this! But... i use this phone for work, I want it to be reliable. Jellytime r22 looks on the face...
