**stonehenge** · 04-07-2015, 03:31 AM

Yeah, that's stock. Do you see the unlock icon on your Google boot screen?

Cez★ · 04-07-2015, 03:37 AM

yea

**stonehenge** · 04-07-2015, 06:28 AM

OK so you're unlocked but stock recovery. You need to flash TWRP and then you can flash ROMs/kernels.

chevyrado14 · 04-07-2015, 01:04 PM

yea use that twrp app to flash twrp recovery and you should be gold

Cez★ · 04-07-2015, 02:18 PM

Will do

M.B Co · 04-07-2015, 05:56 PM

Talked to an IT guy that was at my office. They have anything related to gmail blocked minus a select few with google docs for business.

He even has to do the crappy app work around. Their servers and internet are on lock down.

**theholycow** · 04-07-2015, 06:26 PM

Forget "gmail". That's the gmail app for accesing gmail service. It's not going to work, I'm the Exchange admin/general network admin here and I control the policies and I doubt it would work for me.

Do you not have the native Android "email" app? That's the app for accessing generic email services like POP3, IMAP, Exchange, etc.

Another angle would be to forget apps entirely. Go to system settings, Accounts & Sync, Add account. Once the account is added, when mail comes in you'll get notifications and can get into it that way.

**stonehenge** · 04-07-2015, 07:48 PM

cao, up until last year sometime that would have been true, but in the newer versions of Gmail and Google Services, Exchange has been integrated. It works just like the Email app as long as you choose "Exchange" when setting it up.

I use the GMail app so that all my accounts are in one place and behave the same. I'd get annoyed because Email/Gmail would have different reply/forward behavior and whatnot.

Also, not sure what the IT guy meant. There is no "blocking Google stuff". Email/Gmail apps on the phone behave just like Thunderbird and any other email client. They should all work.

Overall though, fuck your email IT guys. It's shitty to make you use a specific app.

**theholycow** · 04-07-2015, 07:55 PM

OIC.

Fuck everything.

Cez★ · 04-15-2015, 05:38 PM

How hard it be to add new icons?

chevyrado14 · 04-15-2015, 05:39 PM

not hard at all. if you use a 3rd party launcher you install the icon app and then select the icon theme in the launcher settings

Cez★ · 04-15-2015, 05:41 PM

Ohhh. like nova and shit?

**stonehenge** · 04-15-2015, 05:42 PM

yep, just install Nova, set it as default, install an icon pack you like, then go into settings > look & feel > icon theme and choose the icon pack.

you can also change individual icons on your homescreens by longpressing and choosing Edit, then tap the icon to change it.

chevyrado14 · 04-15-2015, 05:42 PM

yep easy peasy

Cez★ · 04-15-2015, 05:43 PM

Shittt. Has lots of modding to do when I get home

MikeH · 04-15-2015, 05:44 PM

I havent even went and looked at a S6 yet. Love my N6 and dont plan on switching anytime soon.

Cez★ · 04-15-2015, 05:51 PM

chevyrado14 · 04-15-2015, 05:51 PM

MikeH · 04-15-2015, 06:00 PM
