custom rom is the best battery saver lol

my lg g3 has been on crack since I installed a fresh cyanogenmod. I don’t have to keep charging the phone as often. sometimes like every other day.

Root plus custom ROM is like heaven. No word of a lie.

Anybody here fuck with Google Play Music? If you’re rooted, download the Play Music Exporter and you’ll get to keep the raw MP3. I swear Android is like the best thing ever.

Oh, and there’s a great exploit for Play Music where you can have unlimited free music. The steps are these:

Sign up for your free trial

Come the day when it expires, cancel it

Make a new Google account

Register your same card on the new account and you’ll continue to have the same free trial. :slight_smile:

Oh, I rooted a demo S4. It is the most beautiful thing ever. :slight_smile:

I’ve always heard CM is more of a battery hog than stock.

The drain from leaving wifi/bluetooth on is very minimal when you are not connected.

Anyone know of a way to pull data off an unrooted Galaxy Note 2 with a broken screen?

Wanting to get some of the things off my phone that were left on there when it broke, but have no clue how.

you heard wrong…

CM rom doesn’t add any extra bullshit to drain battery. its bare minimum and only has useful/required stuff. and carrier branded phones are bloated with random unwanted garbage you can’t uninstall/disable.

“stock” google play edition phones are good tho. those also don’t have any additional unwanted apps built on.

Just got a Zenfone 2 (4GB ram, 64 rom version) this week. Loving it so far.

So my nexus 5 is good too? I still haven’t rooted, I need to. Just so I can put that addaway all on it. I NEED ROOOOOOOT.

yeah nexus 5 should be good…thats whats good about google play edition phones you dont have to worry about random-ass shit always sending you offers and pop ups. I complain about these and in marketing business myself lol… :astonished:

Anyone know how I clear the cache or whatever for the lock screen on Android? Using a themer theme, but the lock screen doesn’t change. It’s stuck on the KitKat lock screen.

Note 4

Would work with other phones, but with Samsung requiring Kies, and my phone to be unlocked, that doesn’t work.

phones randomly get unrooted??

I am on a custom rom. dont see how or why but I think my root is gone lol…might have to do it again if needed. tho I don’t have any use for rooting at the moment until I decide to change the current rom for any reason.

Download Root Checker to see. It shouldn’t randonly unroot.

Even though I’m happy with my Note 3, I am considering in the future the Nexus 6…anyone have experience with that phone?

Still need to root damn it, when will I have the balls to take that first step, lol.

Anybody here ever use cloud storage and knows how it works? Like can I dl movies through torrent on cloud and watch it through cloud? 32 gigs without SD options just plainnout sucks. Too many games, not willing to part with any of them.

Yiu mean the newest torrents can be streamed? Do you happen to know the same service but for music, like Spotify but without adds (or just root and use Spotify hacked with addblocker).

So it’s not something like popcorntime.

Thanks, favd it will check it out. I deleted popcorn time because it was failing to load movies completely at times and was fucking up when I tried to ff movies (yes, I ff shitty action movies just to see the action).

just root already

i like how my phone AV keeps warning me to unroot right away…ummm nope?

Any of you use any Macro programs? Using repetitouch but was wondering if there’s better.
