    Root Read/Write

    Can someone explain the state of r/w permissions to me, because right now all I know is that you have to use the flashable zips to get r/w. Is there a way to permanently keep the permissions or is this the only way?

    Root Probably something simple

    I dunno how this happened.... I've been letting my wife sport my phone lately... And she knows what she's doing... I just discovered this.... Why would the phone app exist more than once? They're all the same version.... It's the phone app that's part of the OS.. I didn't try any other dialers..

    Root F2FS VS EXTx

    I have one question. What is better? F2FS or EXT4? I know F2FS was designed for NAND based storage and it also uses more space because it caches. EXT4 was designed for platter based systems, but it just works. What are your thoughts and opinion on the matter and what file system do you use?

    Root Google moving to openjdk for Android

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2016/01/04/google-adopts-open-jdk-for-android/ What I don't get is why doesn't Google use a pure Linux code base. It is evident Larry Ellison loathes Android, so why still use java.

    Help Can't find some bluetooth devices

    I am able to find my car stereo with my ZMAX and pair up no problem. However, the phone can't find my Panasonic theater system that has bluetooth. When I had my LG Motion 4G, I was able to find the Panasonic theater system and pair up no problem. Why can't the ZMAX see it? Any ideas?
