I'm on 5.1.1, and am wondering if anyone has tried at least uninstalling the factory installed Google apps, to help increase internal storage. Does it cause the phone to malfunction, or is it safe? My usual rule is that if an app is downloadable from the Play store, then it's generally safe to...

(crossposted from the LG G Stylo forum) First of all, has anyone tried using Xposed Framework for the Tribute? I have the VM version, rooted and running Monstro's latest modified ZV6 KitKat ROM. If Xposed works for you, has anyone tried using the VirtualSensor module? I received a Cynoculars...

First of all, has anyone tried using Xposed Framework for the G Stylo? I have the VM version, rooted and locked down at 5.1.1. If Xposed works for you, has anyone tried using the VirtualSensor module? I received a Cynoculars VR unit as a Christmas gift. So far, I can only view videos that are...

I'm asking, as I will get my old Tribute back during Xmas break. If not, that's cool. I'll simply factory reset it, and prepare the phone to root and install Monstro's ROM. I gave mine to a relative back in January. She has moved on to an iPhone 5.

I run the Virgin Mobile version. Purchased it back in January, 2016 on sale at a Best Buy store. I know several updates have been applied to the phone this year. Mine is still locked down to 5.1.1 and is rooted. I'm considering upgrading to MM... I know I'll have to drastically reduce the...

Happened a few days ago. Headphone jack still works. Running a tab 4 rooted, with the last build of the Prism rom from xda. Also running a kernel that overclocks CPU speed to 1586. I'm guessing it could be due to age (nearly 2 years old), and the few bouts of brief overheating, but not sure. Not...

Anyone else root their phones with it? It's what I ended up doing in order to achieve root. Installed TWRP after that, and nuked the stock ROM. Now running one of the AICP Marshmallow nightlies on my S3. Feels like a brand new device! Definitely won't go back to stock. All this might compel...

Looking around for a possible new phone with VM. My LG G Stylo has been flickering oddly lately. Found that this is a hardware issue, so here I am. How does adoptable storage with this phone stack up? I've noticed issues with this among phones with low internal storage that run on Marshmallow...

Below, two photos of the damage inflicted on my Sprint S3. Didn't happen on my end. It came this way from a previous owner. For now, I've ordered a clear outer case (as I like the pebble blue finish), and a set of screen protectors from amazon. I am considering a glass replacement. Should I...

Any chance of this working on an unactivated phone? I'd presume that the cell radio needs to be turned on. Tried nextradio on it yesterday, but that didn't work. If it requires rooting to get it to work, I'd be cool with that. So far, phone's working really well (minus cell phone service).

OK, just got an old S3. Sprint version. Upgraded it all the way to Stagefright fix/KitKat 4.4.2. Not activated as I'm on Virgin Mobile USA. Not sure if it's prepaid or contract version. 1. Is it possible to activate on VM without rooting, and installing custom recovery and ROM? If not I'll use...

Happened to me a few minutes ago. Turned off phone for about four minutes, to see if contrast could be corrected that way. It worked, thank goodness. Anyone else notice this issue? It's the first time I've seen it. Bought my phone from a Best Buy in NYC about a month ago. Haven't gone deep in...

I've turned mine back on after not even touching it for eight months. Decided to factory reset it, which unrooted my phone. It was at about 85% left on a charge. Using it mainly for streaming and playing some media, but is ready to act as a phone/notepad if my LG G Stylo croaks. Runs great. Good...

Anyone using the facebook app and not getting any notifications from the notification tab? My setup is that I should be receiving notifications from close friends. This isn't a problem with my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 running modded KitKat 4.4.2, Acheron ROM), and a PC running Android x86...

Quick question ... Looking to restore my LG Tribute as I'm giving it away to friend that needs it. If I flash StockBoot.img, will that unroot the phone? Will install stock recovery and the full odexed ZV5 zip from here. Do I even need to install StockBoot.img if I'm unrooting to begin with...
