    Sense 5-Type Widgets For Use W/ Nova Launcher

    Or you can flash ViperROM. It has the exact Sense 5 overlay, including BlinkFeed, but obviously as a custom ROM it also provides many more customizations. A quick YouTube search for HTC One ViperROM review will let you know if it is something you'd like to have. Posted via Android Central App

    Apple A7 chip is from Samsung

    And that's just an inherent issue you will have when your software is open source. Yes, it allows many more users to have your OS in their hands around the world because any "homegrown" or top-tier OEM can pick it up, add whatever they want to it and the sell the devices for next to nothing...

    Switching from Sprint to T-Mobile how-to

    Not at all. It is the same process. Although, I would urge you to actually go to a brick and mortar store. It just makes for much easier communication, you have paperwork you can actually hold in your hand, and you can make sure it is done correctly before you even walk out of the store. Just my...

    What do you use Chrome or ........

    There's another browser besides Chrome? :-P I've used Chrome since the early days of closed beta. Never have even thought to look back. I got an email (on my then-beta Gmail address lol) out of the blue inviting me to a closed beta of this new browser from Google. Been a Google junkie since...

    4.3 OTA on rooted phones - question

    No need to relock the bootloader. Just flash stock recovery and you're good to go. Now, that being said, I don't know if an OTA update will relock the bootloader itself, if it does that's an easy fix. You just need to have stock recovery for the OTA update to install properly. EDIT: Just...

    Controlling Chromecast Power

    No and no lol... Sorry buddy, but as of right now, those are your answers. Remember though, the ChromeCast is still very early in development (hell, there's only a few Google apps that can take advantage of it right now, with many more rumored apps coming soon) so as of right now, there isn't...

    New S3 - Samsung Says Beyond Economical Repair

    Oh, wow. I'd agree with the guy above me. I'd flip the hell out. Call earlier in the morning (more higher level supervisors and executives who actually give a damn and can get things done tend to work 1st shift in contrast to a late night manager) and demand to speak to a supervisor. Stay...

    Newish to this forum. Getting Note3. What is best way to get everything from WP synced to Google?

    As far as FB, Twitter and Hotmail, those will all sync with your device once you add them to it. You also have the choice of specifically what to sync within that service and also when/how often it automatically syncs in the background to that particular service's servers. I'm not 100% sure...

    Newbie, looking for some answers

    Are you talking about the ASUS Transformer Trio? I think they have another one as well, but can't think of the name... It's basically a Win8 ultrabook with the ability to dual boot with Android OS and detach the keyboard to use it as a tablet. That is my next purchase :-) I can't wait for it to...

    Another "Why should I root and use custom rom" thread + sprint question....

    I think you are confusing a warranty with Sprint's Total Equipment Protection plan. If your phone is rooted and/or has a custom ROM on it, it may hinder your chances of getting it fixed for a warranty issue (the phone stops working all of a sudden, the camera doesn't work even if it's stock...

    CyanogenMod 10.1.3 RC

    Here's my take on it as I just flashed it on my One the day before yesterday. On stock ROM, I did not have the purplish/pink camera issue; on CM I do. For me, this is pretty much the game changer for me. I really enjoyed HTC's camera on my One. This basically ruined on my particular device...

    account question?

    Just go to an area where you are data roaming repeatedly through a month or two and use a ridiculous amount of data. They will kick you off contract lol ..From my Black HTC One via AC App
