I now use Linux as my main operating system. My recommendation would be to go with Fedora or Ubuntu. Personally I use Fedora on a day to day basis. Fedora is typically much more up to date in terms of kernel and software. People generally say this means it will be more unstable, but I have not...

Wanderfile allows you to select the places you have been, layover on a flight or want to go in the future via interactive maps, organised lists or search. You can then share or save the maps you have created. There are many maps available to create including the world, all the continents, small...

You posted this last month, so I'm not sure how much help I will be now, but I'll leave a reply for people just in case. Your best bet for anything technical relating to rooting and ROMs is XDA Developers Forum. They have tons of guides and information talking about exactly what your asking for...

Mine was an Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) with Android 2.1 (Eclair): Excellent phone. What made it great was that the developer community latched on to it over at XDA. This meant I had the latest (unofficial) android releases for the phone for a long time.

I've used nova prime for a long time now. I particularly like the ability to use gestures. It seems google and manufacturers are baking in gestures now, but it wasn't always that way. They have been in Nova for a long time. There are just so many useful settings, and yet on the face of it it is...

I suppose it depends what you call "smart" I owned various nokia phones and some Motarola phones before the Nokias, but I don't think the ability to play snake counts as smart! (Anybody who is too young to remember snake on a Nokia should look it up, very addictive). My first real smart phone...

I have both an android tablet (nexus 10) and a chromebook (Acer C720P). The chromebook generally gets much more use, even without android apps on it. The only thing I would say is that the chromebook I have has a touch screen. When I bought it I didn't think it would matter very much and would...

I religiously keep all my old phones (and other peoples if they don't want them!). Truth is I need them. I decided to get into Android app development in my spare time, and having as many different phones as possible is really useful. Different screen sizes, different versions of android, some...

I would expect the OnePlus 5 will get updated to P (apparently Pistachio or Pistachio Ice Cream!), as they don't seem to be relenting on keeping it bang up to date with security patches and UI improvements. I am currently running beta 13 of the official OnePlus ROM and they just majorly upgraded...

I've been using beta versions on my OnePlus 5 for quite a while, and I can't remember having any issues at all. From memory the reason I originally started using beta was to get around an issue I was having with stock! They are always really stable.The other thing is OnePlus seem to be...
