The April update has finally been released for European devices on CSC code EUX which includes the unbranded U.K. models. See post #1 for full details.

Launched on the 11th of April, 2014, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is now 10 years old today!



In my opinion, one of the great Samsung Galaxy phones I have owned. Up until 2 years ago it was in daily service with my little brother until he bounced it off some concrete.

I doubt that there are too many of these in use today with its 5.1" screen, 2GB RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset but I have fond memories of it.

where have you seen this? icons in the notification bar are part of the system os. i doubt you can just change them at will. you will most likely need to root the phone to do so. now altering the font and app icons are easy to do without root. but not anything that belongs to the system os.

I remember the "Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen" site from the start of the last decade. But while the website for that still exists (to my amazement), it's not been updated since 2011 so the chances of it working with any vaguely current phone must be nil (and yes, it did require root). But the principles behind it should still apply: modify one of the system APKs (used to be SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk), replacing the battery icons in that with the ones you'd like to use instead, then package the updates as a flashable zip and flash it. If you are using a custom ROM just edit the relevant apk resources in the ROM and then flash it. I did some of this by hand (rather than via the UOT kitchen) back in the days, but we are talking a decade or more ago now.

Definitely take a nandroid before attempting anything of this sort: my first ever bootloop was from a trivial theming mod of this sort that didn't work right (if you fork up part of the system resources it's likely the phone will not boot up),

We had great weather over the weekend in Broken Bow Ok but it was overcast Monday. It was high thin clouds during the eclipse that you could easily see the the sun through with solar glasses. It also was just enough filter to take pictures with the phone. I took the pic during totality.

Glad to hear it worked out for you

Looks like Samsung are rolling out the April security update for the S21 series, G9**B.


Software information

so looks like the science behind the show is pretty legit.....of course it has a Hollywood spin to it.

Yeah for your light horror and massive dark humor guys out there:






the game series does not disapoint.

Saw Illini game twice because it was weather or not if my sister got a day off from her work before easter, was okay game, also Iowa game girl basektball game, was okay, still not a fan of sports.

The news has reported at least one gunshot incident, if not more, every night for the past 2 weeks, in Houston.

I am about an hour South of Houston.

Please post your request in the link below and an Admin will take care of it.

There is another S5 model called the G900R6. You should add it to the guide and that would make it 43 S5 models.

See post #1. The G900R6 is already showing as it was a carrier specific model for Bluegrass Cellular, USA and is a CDMA equipped phone. So, back to 42.

well it rained here most of the weekend, it rained Sunday morning.... then the sky cleared long enough for me to watch my Padre's Decimate the Giants 😆

These look like corrupt image files or remnants of them. Just delete them, nothing more can be done

Just seeing this whole thread but CalenGoo is fantastic, I've been using for years and love it. Hopefully you've found your forever calendar app

Swipe gestures on the Navigation bar seems broken. Not responding to the usual gestures for Back and Open all.

I was reading that an hour boiling produced a soft boiled egg and another thirty minutes produced a hard boiled egg. That's a long time to boil an egg. I can't imagine a pan large enough to fry the egg. I think it would be impossible to turn the egg over or to fold for an omelet.

I saw MX Linux was getting a lot of looks at Distrowatch and decided to try it. XFCE is its flagship GUI. Not really much different than any other Linux Distro

Yeah I thought I saw a price cut though, only through Motorollas email I get from time to time.

They are facing something similar with the EU (as are Google and Facebook, about different things).

Idiot.
