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...

Anything for us on VM? I'm curious about getting the original, which is ZV3 I think. If I could score that, might be able to eke out a bit more internal space. Then I'd root it to keep updates out. Any ideas? I like the way this phone runs stock. Just a bit mad about the pushy servers forcing...

Looked around the forum to figure this out. Haven't looked anywhere else (yet). Does anyone know if the OS that ships with the USA G Stylos is indeed 64 bit? Curious...

I've read that these features are available on the G Stylo. I bought the VM version yesterday. Not activated yet as I've ordered an outer case + screen protector from amazon, and a Class 10 UHS 3 64 gb card from B&H. I'd be happy to have NFC. The FM radio, not so much as VM has data free music...

I have the 7 inch screen, B&N nook edition. After upgrading Kies 3, I got this screen when looking for a firmware update. I have to use Kies from a PC as my device is rooted, so it can't be upgraded via WiFi. Note the latest firmware version line. Anyone upgraded their 7 inch Tab 4? I don't...

Does it add anything new to the Event? I still have mine as a backup phone. Also, does it break root? Thanks!

It appears that a developer named Unjustified Dev posting in the XDA forums has gotten root for this phone, and its variants. UD got it running with a MetroPCS phone. EDIT: this now points to the one click method. WINDOWS COMPUTER REQUIRED TO PERFORM ROOT! WiNE (or any emulator/system call...

... Sort of ... I finally managed to flash the V7 bin to my F3. Upgraded to V8, stump rooted. Still need to install twrp. Should have a shiny new 64gb class 10 card tomorrow from UPS. I am considering staying mostly stock, but I've noticed a few cool Roms floating around here. 1. Which is...

After watching SVU on TV last night I decided to pull out my F3 after several months of no use. (This is the same one that I thought was a goner after a bad spell of overheating.) I managed to boot cwmt. Also managed to wipe it fully. Pulled a 32gb MicroSD card from my Kyocera Event and...

WTFF, man? I know I'm not the only Tab 4 owner with this problem. Google hasn't done a g0dd@mn thing about the issue. I've combed through at least 2 1/2 months worth of complaints online, including their product forums. It's an issue with the latest version of the app. At least it works on my...

I recently uninstalled Adobe Reader and ESPNradio. The apps still show up in the downloaded section of apps that are installed. Any way to remove them? I read in some posts in other places that going to /data/local would help me in removing them. My Tab 4 isn't rooted, so that wouldn't work...
