There is no way to assign a hard button, either long or short press, to the menu function in nougat, which is why I stay on marshmallow. It does not matter what phone you have from what I can tell. Even if you find an app that allows you to assign hard buttons to functions on a rooted phone...

On the android issue tracker, someone just stated that the bug is still present in the final released version of marshmallow. Hopefully that's not true since I will have to then stay on kitkat for yet another year. Can anyone with a nexus phone confirm once it is evaluated.

The screenshots I see in this thread exhibit the Lollipop mobile radio active bug. A phone without the bug will typically have the screen as the #1 battery drain and it will be at least 5 times greater than the next item on the battery list. There are three things you can do: 1. You can go the...

I do keep some media on my phone- audiobooks and music. I keep a couple of backups of my favorite roms. I take a good amount of pictures and video. The majority is offline GPS data - Sygic and MapsWithMe use a little, but Gaia (hiking GPS) uses a lot. I don't like to be lost when I am in the...

We can't know what the potential battery life is for this phone since there are no Kitkat roms for it and Lollipop roms, with their battery draining bugs, get about 30-50% less battery life. Google finally acknowledged the mobile radio active bug in Lollipop yesterday, so perhaps that will be...

So, in other words, it has the mobile radio active bug? Or have the battery reporting statistics been repaired and Play Services just burns up CPU instead of mobile radio active time?

Apple compatible chargers cause vbus_present wakelock Figured I would chime in since I have been looking at the vbus_present wakelock for a while. If you use a charger which is compatible with Apple products, it will cause the vbus_present wakelock since Apple does not adhere to USB standards...

I think UCALC was the first leaked ICS for Skyrocket. Since the method you used had an exe to install everything, I can't tell which rom it loaded on your device, but it is a different rom than stock. You must have root, as far as I know, to load a rom like this. Since it does not look like...
