bout time

[theholycow]

Fixed my fail. Yay! Time to try root again.

my cardboard should be here today. cant wait to play around with it.

idk if the size of my phone or something was throwing it off but it kept looking a little blurry but if I held it away from my face at just the right spot it would look good, must play more

Root success. Launcher replaced. Link2SD doing its thang, plenty of space now. Lock screen ads removed. OTA updates disabled.

Up next: Sleuthing around to find where the default wallpapers are to change them so the lock screen gets my choice of wallpaper instead of the defaults (which, admittedly, are pretty nice).

Then who knows what else!

Definitely different compared to my S5. The device seems to have a more premium feeling due to construction and feels nicer in hand.

The size definitely makes S5 seem like a toy. Now, if I keep it thats not known at present time. I like the size of S5, so going to 6P size is gonna be interesting.

I spent this afternoon rooting it via adb/fastboot and put a intelliarmor tempered glass screen on it. I have a spigen rough armor on it now, and a diztronic will be here tomorrow. Will sell or return whichever i don't like.

Surprised you actually took it out of box

[race2c]

Jajajajaja

wan what are you using to edit pics? need to resize some

[race2c]

Does anyone have an older Samsung S3 (or similar with IR blaster, in black) they would like to sell/give away?

I need something with an IR blaster for my HTPC.

Don't have anything besides my V10. Can't haz.

Cez - I like Snapseed. Adobe Lightroom is cool to edit RAW images but isn't as quick as Snapseed.

Though GNex had one....but was mistaken.

S5 has one but its getting sold to recoup costs of 6P.

[Cez★]

[stonehenge]

Should have got V10 then

ended up ordering some spigen crystal cases. pretty good stuff. one corner i left touching the matte border so theres air on that part


hate slapping on screen protectors

[theholycow]

I usually do well with screen protectors, but the other day I decided to replace the one on the iPad and it came out awful. I replaced it twice more and it was still awful. Gonna cut one smaller so it only covers the business area, not all the way out to the edge of the borders, not lining up holes with the button and camera, so that I can put less effort into those perfections...

Prolly gonna try the tape hinge method too.

[Cez★]

ill see how long it lasts coming in and out of my pocket. but yes, do need better method to apply. i applied it like 3 times and each time it came down crooked. then i saw it come down nicely and said fidil and put it on. then when i was taking out the bubbles i saw the protector caught a little of the bottom border

[race2c]

The Tempered glass screen protectors can be really handy if you put them on correctly. A couple methods I found out about.

Use tape to act like hinge when putting on screen protector.
Do it in the bathroom with the shower running hot water; the hot water creates steam which makes dust/debris go to floor.
Use scotch tape or similar to remove fine particles before fulling put on screen protector.

[chevyrado14]

I used the tape hinge to put on my tempered glass one it worked well.
