    Root [Verizon] system/fonts file cleanup

    I have some files that I would like to delete from my rooted S4, but I'm not sure if I should. There are a bunch of ttf files in the system/fonts folder that appear to be foreign-language fonts (Samsung, Lohit). Are these installed fonts? If so, why don't I see them? If not, can they be...

    Root [Verizon] Bye-Bye Google Wallet?

    I hear that tap and pay on the Google Wallet app is going away after April 14th unless you're running KitKat. They're going to Host Card Emulation instead of the hardware Secure Element (which I get), but you think they'd have waited until most people were - wait for it - RUNNING KITKAT ON...

    Nova Launcher and TouchWiz

    Help me out here - Will the TouchWiz features still work if I install the Nova Launcher? I like air gestures and voice commands, and would like them around if I changed launchers from stock. Know this is a simple question, but I wasn't really sure I knew the answer :dontknow: .

    Root [Verizon] Forget the update!

    After LOTS of reading, I decided to keep my phone the way it is and root it instead. Lots more new things to get than just Apps2SD and HDR video (whatever that is)! Hope you welcome me here as well as the GNexers did! With that in mind - I have a question - What's the best way to stop Big...

    Root [Verizon] Can I root and leave everything else "as is"?

    Hey all: Haven't even got my S4 yet and I'm already thinking about rooting. Was thinking of using the one-click tool to do it, but I really don't want to flash a ROM just yet. All I really want is to get rid of apps I'll never use (especially Big Red's bloat-crap), use my Titanium Backup Pro...

    [Verizon] Opinions please! - another GNex or GS3?

    Need some opinions here! My GNex took a swim and died while on vacation. Big Red is offering me another GNex for free or an SG3 for $99 as a replacement if I renew my contract. What do you think? I'm leaning towards another GNex 'cause I have a lot of accessories for it already. As ALWAYS...

    Is there a Trinity kernel that is not overclocked? I'd like to have one that's set up with the stock settings so I could still use the other features of the Toolkit. If not, what do I set the voltage/CPU at to emulate a stock kernel? All help appreciated with lots of "Thanks" distributed.
