Using Nova with Pixel icon pack.

I love this feature, very useful.

Re: G5S Plus updare No update for me :( Still on 116-24-4 (October 2017) here in the UK on my unlocked/unbranded G5S Plus.

I enabled it when I first got the G5S Plus, never looked back. Works very well indeed.

I've found the camera to be quite poor in day to day indoor shots. But I had a Galaxy s7 before, so maybe I'm expecting too much.

I'm still pretty new to Android, and didn't bother with Samsung's touchwiz when I first got the phone, so I wasn't aware that most phones had this, but still, it's nice to know it's definitely available on the NEXT lockscreen for anyone that might be interested in it. I liked the way Nokia did...

I recently left the Windows ecosystem, and the one (actually two) app I couldn't be without is Nine's Outlook app. There was something I wasn't able to do with the official Outlook app (can't remember what it was now), but Nine does everything, and does it better than the official app. The other...

Nova of course... Coming from Windows phones previously, Nova seemed to be the go to launcher to get. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but now I think I have most of it mastered.

I've had this happen a couple of times now (weeks apart) for no apparent reason - on my Galaxy s6. Holding the power button and then choosing "Emergency Mode" was the fix for me. Didn't need to do anything other than go to "Emergency Mode", and then simply come out of it. When the phone comes...

I think in this case parallax just means different layers that move at different speeds, it's quite effective actually. I have this layout now however, though I'll probably go back to a 3D one again soon...

Adblock allows unobtrusive ads, this is what the world needs to wake up to. People don't mind ads that don't interfere with what people are trying to do i.e. consume content. But ads that cause websites to load slowly, videos that auto-play, or things that pop up over the content you're trying...

Putting this (hopefully) on a Nexus 7 from 2012 tonight. Had fun rooting it, turns out I have a flaky USB port, but on top of that Windows 10 has a hard time recognising it properly in a way that will allow me to transfer files to it. But, it's rooted now, and I have downloaded lineage and gapps...

I can't see this making much difference to battery life. Maybe if you play games a lot, it might, but in normal use, it still has to light all the non-black pixels to create the image, so if you have something of a size of 1 pixel that needs displaying, the same image at a lower resolution will...

I prefer to maximize the amount of text on the screen, so the higher the resolution the better for me.

Can't tell you where you can download illegal content for obvious reasons, but take a look at "SideloadVR", you can download apps/games that developers are still working on for free, though I would expect the final versions of good apps to become paid-for apps eventually.
