    Ready to remove the ugly carrier branding in status bar?

    I found a pretty good app that works by placing another status bar over your existing one (you can't see the old one) that offers some features you see in CyanogenMod and other custom Roms or even in gravity box in terms of tweaks to the status bar. Not as customizable as a custom ROM or with...

    Fingerprint gestures app.

    The newly released fingerprint gestures app says it's not compatible with our device (zmax pro) I found this hard to believe. I looked for the apk from XDA labs and I'm happy to report that tap and double tap work well. The swipe gesture i wasn't able to make work. Maybe someone else will have...

    Recording video at 60fps?

    Is it possible to record videos at 60fps with our device? I noticed the stock camera app provides for the ability to record video in slow motion. If that's possible shouldn't we in theory be able to record at 60fps? I've tried a ton of camera apps and even though I've changed the fps to 60...
