    Messaging+ on Samsung s5

    Samsung s5 and computer [Win7 Ultimate ] hidden files problem

    First of all, thanks for replying. It's nothing to do with the phone's internal OS but an app that I added. I know the app files can be edited via a USB cable because I know folks that have already done it before. But for some reason the internal files/folders on the internal and the SD card...

    TUTORIAL: Downgrade Samsung Galaxy S5 from 5.0 to 4.4 KitKat
