    OnePlus unsatisfactory. Need something else, but what?

    In some ways, a continuation of this thread. Help - Upgrade or service loss deadline approaching Preface: After as long, simply, I'm very disappointed in my Nord N20. Battery life is still not anywhere near where it should be. This summer has already had me encounter a few too many times...

    ReVanced working? alternatives?

    Allow me to try and keep this, as brief as I can. For as long as it's been available, I'd been using ReVanced builder on my pc, to build the apk's for the apps that it supports (mostly, YouTube and Twitch). Lately, been noticing that when it comes time to build I'd been getting well, errors on...

    Legacy Update, is now a thing

    First heard about it, with this video on Michael MJD's channel talking about it, here... What's this for? Well, the author of the program/site combination found that many of the files needed to fully update OS's that were since legacy'd out of support are still hosted on Microsoft's servers...

    Root need. root. now.

    Look. I know there are people out there who don't even blink twice with spending $2000 USD every week on a new phone, but I'm not like that. I don't even like buying another phone every other year, much less every year like I had to do with sealed battery phones. For $420 USD, this, is all I...

    Help Need a phone worth having

    Not sure why, but my v20 has been real fussy lately. I'd been holding out in hopes of a phone maker to finally have a successor to this worth looking at, but it seems we'll sooner see a vaccine for HIV than that ever happening. Up to this point, been happiest with unlocked phones...

    Root "but xda sez..."

    Suffice to say, this is... frustrating. Wife bought a moto g20, specifically because, of the phones within our shared means, it was the only one that had a painfully simple guide for setting up root and installing it accordingly, on XDA. Well, install minimal ADB & fastboot, launch the command...

    radeon 7990 on XP... why so dang hard?

    As quickly as I can summarize... Rather frustrated. AMD on its own site, lists drivers that are supposed to support the dual GPU monster on windows xp. I previously assumed the gtx 690 was supported, failing to realize it wasn't. I made a point to look to be sure there were drivers for the...

    Help Upgrade or service loss deadline approaching

    Well, damn it. Now I'm in a pickle. Got one of those cursed letters saying that our phone(s) are going to lose service if we don't upgrade by July. Which sucks for me because, I work in public schools, so Summer is the worst time of year regarding income. Even if I can get something lined up, I...

    Help System won't post. yes video, no keyboard response

    Short version: Board won't pass post. Won't go into bios, much less boot anything. Tried two different power supplies, three different graphics cards, and four different keyboards. Also tried booting with no RAM installed, as well as just one stick (four identical, single sticks). No ram is of...

    Dear Phone Makers,

    You want me to have a reason to buy? Do this. Not only would you corner a usability market, and render a lot of these moronic "flagship(s)" obsolete, but it would revive an industry for extended battery upgrades, therefore making it even more valu(abl)e. Yes, I use the headphone jack, daily...

    Retro Legend Acquired

    So, one of the things I've been doing to help with scratching the PC building itch and to help soothe nostalgia, is to have some operating system specific builds for authenticity. But also, to give me a chance to make something (relatively) OP, so that I can experience the era in a level of...

    Help detach an app from the play store? how?

    Not surr i understand the vernacular here, but as the title says. More or less, increasingly annoyed because while my phone is running happily, rooted, with a custom ROM, play store keeps trying to "update" me out of my pleasant experience with YouTube Vanced, and into the "might as well BE an...

    Unusually high load from system

    Trying to make sense of this. Simply, I've been noticing the phone being unusually warm and burning through battery, especially when I'm not actively using it. So, made a point to leave it alone and let it do its thing, and check with gsam to see what it tacked. This is my personal v20...

    Root us991 model. files seem to be gone everywhere.

    I hate to pester like this, but i was trying to get this model of phone rooted so i could maybe try running some different roms and keep it around as a stand by ready to go. And extended battery upgrades are cheap enough. Anyways, previously with my v20 it felt like google itself, was hiding...

    Fed up with the market

    Rant incoming Okay, so, my main phone is a V20, and at least rooted and running the latest resurrection remix rom. The Note 4 i bought some time ago then went to the wife because her beloved Windows phone finally had a failing battery, and couldn't find a replacement online for it (Lumia 550...

    Help play store keeps wanting to give me adtube

    So, i completely forgot about this because it had been a hot while since i last had a rooted phone. But yeah, in short the root method of installing vanced means it replaces stock/factory YouTube. Which is fine and all, until play store wants to whine and insist there's an update. Acting like...

    Root Root guides just disappeared. So how do I?

    Keeping it short and sweet as possible... Us996 model. Already unlocked bootloader through lg officially. Been wanting to root for a while. Granted, i still meed to figure out how to get around Pokemon go's blocking measures but I've already completed the main dex in let's go eevee, so, if i...

    what to do for a windows phone user in late 2020

    Keeping it short and sweet, the wife's Lumia 550 phone has started developing an issue where it won't want to turn on anymore. A cursory feel test of the battery, and there was noticeable swelling. While I'm sure she would prefer to just get a replacement battery and call it for the meantime...

    Help login button not secure?

    As the title says, whenever I log in fresh (usually after doing some pruning with the likes of ccleaner on my pc), when I go to log in, I see that the browser whines and tells me that this isn't a secure connection. I basically have to hit that button (without entering anything) and then the log...

    Accessories Extended battery for Xcover Pro anywhere?

    Preface: After seeing how horrendously Samsung handled the situation with the Note 7, and the fact that they seemed to obstinately insist on making sealed phones even when a removable battery would have turned that fiasco into barely an issue, implied to me, that Samsung would basically rather...

    Can't even find the app to put on Note 4. What?

    okay, so...my old, old Note 3 that was all rooted and running resurrection remix for Android 7.1.2 on it... turned it on again after such a long time out of curiosity. among the other app updates, I see that Magisk had a significant update. After updating the manager and magisk itself, I'm...

    Help bootloader unlocked. Still can't root. Now is the time

    Okay, here's the deal. I went through A LOT of trouble to get the version of this phone that I can actually do the bootloader unlock. Already confirmed that it is successfully unlocked. That said, NOTHING I can find will actually root the phone. The last time I looked for this led me to some...

    Help How to run on root

    Maybe I'm missing something, but i was under the understanding that an updated magisk root would be able to block the invasive file scanning feature of PoGo to allow it to run properly again on a rooted phone. Yet on both of my rooted Note 3 and Note 4 phones, running this root, it won't even...

    So, I did manage to pick this phone up... and because my google-fu is legendarily bad, or seems to be filled with links trying to get me to break my phone or do something sketch, I'm asking here. First objective: Get rooted, custom recovery going, the like. Phone arrived to me with Android...

    Installed TWRP but can't enter recovery

    As the title says... guides can't seem to make up their minds on what to press to enter recovery and get TWRP to boot. Neither holding vol-up or vol-down with power are working. What am I doing wrong?:rob:
