Yes, I'm well aware of other providers. "no reason"? I differ, take a look on the web or just search on "Liberate Your Device" for Android. I didn't see how the store setup the phone, so your saying Lollipop gives you a choice to use Google's eMail or not when setting up? Please point me in...

Just bought a 2015 Moto E, plan on Cynamodgen soon... Are there any pointers or ways to easily use Android without Gmail? I've seen CM advertized to run Android without the Google account. Lots out there on the subject on the net. However, I'll be on Lollipop initially and was wondering the...

Yep, I cross-referenced android authorities 2016 best budgets against CM, the 2015 E is the winner for what I'm doing. New Phone later ;). The 626 has a request out for CM, but looks iffy? Verizon dominates my area and plan to test the E with the SanDisk Wireless Connect Flash, root, put CM...

Good read! Thanks, I'm on the same mindset, old Linux hack but havent rooted a phone. Need a budget phone for AT&T to root i.e Zenphone2, Escape2, Desire 626. Putting all functionality aside, rooting ease/support and stock android is my top reqs. Any thoughts, ones to recommend or stay away...

Ooops again, google "SanDisk Connect 32GB Wireless Flash"

Starting to give up on micro-USB OTG, maybe this would be better if it's bootable with the bluetooth, storage and phone transfer? Robot Check

FYI - Just learned from Kingston the carriers are locking down the micro-USB OTG across the Android interface!?

Ooops, should have mentioned "dual flash", try a google on "usb dual flash" for micro-USB drives if you don't know what I mean. It's data storage and transfer to and from both Android and computing device(s). Hopefully, my question makes more sense now.

I can't depend on the net all the time and I have private stuff too I've decided OTG is the way to go, but finding the spec without having to check every manufacturers site is grueling i.e. Kingston, SanDisk, etc. On top of that I'm in the process of switching to GSM and don't want to have to...

Hello, Going to try AT&T in a Verizon dominated area. I want AT&T to prove the service and coverage first before spending some major money. I understand GSM is so much easier to root than CDMA and AT&T is supposedly the #2 carrier in my area. Looked at the ones above i.e. Best AT&T Phones and...

FYI - hardware issues with the Optimus Exceed 2, switched to a LG Transpyre VS810PP on Verizon. Now to the rooting... any experience or links out there? TIA

iPhone vs. Android Timezone Formats Ok, I travel a lot and cross timezones frequently. I gather the carrier is providing NTP or something similair to the Android cell. Time switches just fine! However, I can't find an automatic sense and display for the timezone. This cost me the other day...

Thanks, well I'm treading new water with rooting, I'll forego the Nexus for now. Picked up a cheap LG Optimus Exceed 2, in time will give it a try with Verizon, I found the closest hits with it re. rooting on the models above excluding the Nexus...

Guess I'm not only a noobie but perhaps a bit lazy, I find it very time consuming digging out the "story" by phone model and carrier, even on XDA. A summary would be nice, i.e. (example only) AT&T US Cellular Verizon...

Yes, I know rooting has nothing to do with the Verizon network and yes it has been said already the Nexus 6 can be rooted. So, again what's the easiest way to find a listing of Verizon exploits? Still searching...
