a) It wouldnt if you have something faster, like EDGE or even UMTS/EVDO. Even on GRPS its not that bad for downloading.

b) It wouldnt cost a lot of cash if you have good unlimited dataplan.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
well suppose so but what would make that much sense to get directly to ones pda?

of cause one could dl a perfectly legal movie to watch but that movie would run alot better if converted to the resolution of the devices and take up much less space too

not to mention that with turrents others upload from you too

which would mean that having a few people recieving from you

would damage bandwidth alot

since even HSDPA is optimized for download not upload

heck even many normal pc connections have rather poor uploads compared to download and will cut down on download if the uploads begin to reach the connections maximum
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
HSDPA is no worse the ordinary ADSL in terms of up/down unbalance. And many people leech regardless of their true upload abilities anyway, but with bittorrent you dont get as much download if you dont upload much.

BTW I never had problems watching unconverted videos on my phone. Maybe because I stick mostly to XScale-based devices, so I dont need to waste time on converting more then actually watching ;)

Sometimes its more handy to just put download on phone then leave the whole noisy and powerhungry PC box all night on ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ww2250:
Did you guys really RFT article!?

It says "You can start, pause, stop and monitor your downloads, and it also offers some additional info about every Torrent and a couple of settings." and that's it.

Where the hell it says dl to your phone!? AFAIK, it just can't even add a new torrent using that mui.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
LOL

honestly I didnt read it :D

I thought Rudegar have read it and so replied directly to his remark about uselessness of pocket-base torrent client :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] itje:
lol, we all have diffrent needs...if we all had the same needs, we would need a pda with 4x5 Gb cpu, 2 TB Ram, and 10000 TB storage on our phones to be able to use everything that is out there :p

I just wanted to point out that its there if anyone would want it :)

Hi,

the site is inactive now, but i would still like to try this app.

Can anyone share it?

Hi all, you may of seen me in other forums making roms for I9195, Sm-T210, SM-T230 and now its the I9505. Total btu based stock. Deodexed, rooted and busy box installed. 4way reboot menu, imperium kernel V2.6. This is an ongoing project. More to be added and lots to be removed. Will be updated as i can.

Please note:- i am not responsible for any damage to your device. Make sure you perform a nanodroid before flashing. Never flash on a network locked phone. Network unlocked is fine. This roms made for I9505.

there is a big performance and battery difference betwen V1 and V1.1 ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jimbomodder:
V1 is full rom, v1.1 is debloated but s-view cases not working. Also v1.1 u need a gapps package 5.0.1 as some minor issues with Google. V1.2 will be debloated and 0 Google so you'll need gapps. Also Samsung sync reported not working but I removed all Samsung bloatware as battery life is improved at a small sacrifice.

Imperium kernel 2.9 will be used and will come with xposed pre-installed with wanam 5.*.*. I will be working on a debloated/de-googled version as well. Should make it a nice small rom.

hey guys,

Today nexus 7 decided to reboot and get stuck on google startup screen. so i tried to clear cache / format wipe through recover.

because it didn't work then i downloaded and installed Skilsoft toolkit, I had used it before on the previous nexus 2012 for the same reason and worked perfect but this time it just doesn't work on nexus 7 2013.

I am trying to unlock bootloader i go to the poitn the message appears on the tablet screen unlock bootloader i press power to select yes the toolkit then proceed in saying erasing data and just stays there on that screen for ever.

Then i tried to use the nexus root toolkit and the exact same happens.

Please help
[OnePlus 2 General] shiboby:
So I got my invite while at work, and was excited to get home and order my phone. I log into my account, put in the invite code, and go to the store. I see there that the OP2 is 399 euros, that's substantially more than $389 in the US. Then standard shipping is 20 euros! Not only is this 15 euros more than the 5 euro I paid for my OPO to be shipped a year ago (and trust me, shipping prices in Germany haven't gone up 300%), but it increase the price of the phone to 419 euro total. This makes the phone more expensive than the LG G4 and Nexus 6 in Germany. So I bought a G4 instead for 409 euro. And that includes shipping! If anyone wants either of those other phones, you can send me a private message, and I'll send you a referal link to get either phone for 399euro.

Why am I posting this? I loved my OPO and really like what this company is trying to do. However, this phone isn't everything I hoped it would be, and for some people (me included), one of the other two may be a better choice. Plus, you don't have to wait for an invite ;)

Oneplus two is no longer an affordable phone is just another high end phone with a decent price. The Moto X is 400 (16gb) and 500 for 64gb the oneplus two with shipping was 415 usd and you can find the G4 for 420 and the ASUS for 300.00 at this point is not about so much about price but more about what you like and preference. Me personally I rather have a phone no one has and having swap covers makes it even better for me one reason why I waited for an invite.

Same for me in Switzerland after conversion of Euro to Swiss Francs (total of 480 Swiss Francs for Oneplus 2 versus 449 CHF for LG G4 32 Gb version), but for me the Oneplus 2 is better in almost every aspect.

The 808 is a good chip. 64 bit and it's said to be more efficient than the 810.

Ok so im by no means new to rooting and roms and the like since ive rooted every phone ive had over the last 5 years but for the life of me i can not seems to figure out these sony devices. So i downloaded and flashed the new 5.1.1 ftf thru flashtool last night and everything is working fine. I have google and searched thru xda about ways to root and i thought the first step would be to install XZdual recovery but i downloaded nuts installer and ran it which seems to have worked but it still does nothing whether trying to manually enter recovery or doing it thru adb. Ok guys what am i doing wrong? Any help would be great!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4529355:
Must downgrade to 4.4.2, the XZDR will root and install a recovery, then you install a pre rooted package or modified but stock-based 5.1.1 ROM, you won't loose root or recovery; but you wont be able to update via "official" methods like OTA or PC Companion because you have modified the phone's software.

Step # 1 is downgrade to 4.4.2 (314 build number works like a charm)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixalot2008:
Damn what a pain but thank you for the reply at least thats a start since there are lots of guides for rooting 4.4.2 lol. Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AK2H:
You don't have to downgrade to kitkat, You can downgrade to lollipop 5.0.2 (by flashing a new ftf via flashtool) and root via king root and install recovery via xzrecovery app (after getting root access) and then follow these steps:

1.Download a pre-rooted firmware 5.1.1 (flashable zip)

2.Boot into Recovery (TWRP Recommend)

3.Install - Choose ROM direction - flash the ROM zip and wipe cache\dalvik cache

(don't worry this won't wipe your data)

# I highly recommend you to do a factory reset after flashing because if you didn't the phone will be laggy and battery will drain extremely fast

*And If you have xposed installed don't forget to remove it because it may causes problems

If I Helped, Leave A Thanks ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
If your going to downgrade to an older version of Android, why not go to a version of Android that can be rooted by an app that that doesn't require internet access or all the permissions of kingroot?

Kingroot requires a lot of permissions on your phone to complete something fairly basic.
