    Here is where we’ve been: FEB: MMB29Q MAR: MMB29V APR: MMB29X, MOB30D MAY: MMB30G, MOB30I It seems that in April we forked: keeping the old MMB series and starting a new MOB series. Speculation on some sites is that the new MOB fork has a new radio and the old MMB fork is kept around for...

    April Factory images out (MMB29X...MOB30D)

    Root Flashing to update while rooted (with xposed)

    I just did my first flash to update to current security level (Feb) since I first set up my new phone in December. It's probably a routine thing for you guys, but it was a first time for me.

    Root What root apps/mods make sense specifically for Nexus 6

    Thanks to help from scaryalien and Rxpert83, my Nexus 6 is newly rooted. There are a couple of things I'm thinking about doing that are specifically related to the Nexus 6. Here's what comes to mind: 1 - Unbelievably, the N6 has no Miracast support. I see my elderly Mom in a home every day...

    Help Xposed for Lollipop AT&T S4 ?

    On my rooted AT&T S4, I just "upgraded" from Android 4.4.4 (I337UCUFNJ4) to Android 5.0.1 (1337UCUGOC4) using Flashfire for the Rom and Odin for the bootloader as descirbed here. I opted for the "odexed" version because it's truer to stock and supposed to be faster loading during boot. I still...

    Disable Non-Stock Apps (Without Uninstalling)

    My thinking is like fox. I haven't heard of disable within settings on user /downloaded apps. Only for system apps. (Unless rooted in which case use tibu). I'm on 4.3...maybe things are different in other versions.

    Wth! Isn't this dangerous?

    A-potentially dangerous, yes. You might consider this dev is large well known company, so not as much concern as small unknown dev. But still potential concern. B-yes, ironic. I find it all too common that excessive permissions are requested for what I need the app to do (often the...

    Parking Lot / Fleet App Request

    Sorry, I don't know an app to do that although general spreadsheet or database app (memento) would be a start. Fwiw, I would have thought scanning is quicker and less chance for error than relying on a human to compare numbers.

    There is a Google search box above the recent pages. So I don't understand the problem, unless you are wanting to hide your browsing history from others. I'll assume that is the case. If you visit a website that you don't want others to know about, you can use menu / history....then click...
