Hi, I've got an old Xperia S currently running TWRP 2.7.1.0 (the latest version). I'm trying to install cyanogenmod on there but the recovery doesn't seem to work with adb sideloading and USB OTG doesn't seem to show up. I also can't seem to mount the phone's internal memory to my computer. The...

hey, thanks for the instructions. I got this from a friend who wanted me to root the device after he failed to do so and left it in this situation. I've never had a samsung device so wasn't aware of the odin thing and download mode. When it came to rooting it, i knew what i was doing. Thanks...

hi, my friend told me to root his samsung galazy ace. I am trying to put cyanogenmod on but it does not have a custom recovery on or custom rom on. However, the actual OS on the phone does not boot and is stuck at the words android in white when booting so i cannot enable adb. as a result, i...

hi all. I recently decided to change my runtime from dalvik to ART for the extra speed boost and the apparently better battery life. It seems quite on the contrary because through the last 4 days, the battery drain has been crazy. Google services have been up to 60% in battery usage and the...

The rest was black. I then restarted it. It was stuck in the bootloop, this same applied every time I...

Hi, i just unlocked and rooted by tablet and put cyanogenmod 10.2 on there for more flexability. Before that, i had a lot of apps which i had backed up using helium and i put onto my pc via the helium local server. After i tried to put it back on, the first few worked like a charm but anything...

Hi, so i found myself with a nexus 7 (2013) brought about a month ago and have encuntered a few problems. Firstly, i have realised that the tablet did not have the commercial background as advertised so i did a bit of research and found it had the wrong build dueo to a small error on the first...

How would you back up every bit of data from the tablet including the cached app data if i was to factory reset it? I also have a few apps on there which are not from the app store (outdated versions to suite my needs), how would i save those from getting deleted? Thanks

So I got the nexus 7 2013 about a month ago and ever since about 2 weeks ago, I keep getting the notification of a new 4.3 update even though I already have android 4.3. It says it's downloaded and verified but when I go and install it, the android man with the red ball of doom appears and I get...

anyone?

Hi, I have a new nexus 7 (about a month old) and since about 2 weeks ago, every time i take a photo using any photo app, it gives blurry images. It's all in focus until i press shutter button but as soon as you hear the click photo comfirmation noise, the photo focus resets. However, this is...
