the way you worded it sounded to me like if you dont know what you are doing, don't come here/use this site. My bad if i interpreted what you said the wrong way

that is how i interpreted it as well, hence my 'attitude' wording and why i dropped the conversation after that turn. That or 'do it our way, or go away'

Anyone else using nova launcher with teslaunread notice that it doesnt get all the notifications that you select to show on home screen? for example, Outlook is on but i never get a notification count for it or several other apps that are set to on.

i only have FB and messenger with it, and it works for me with those apps.

They should read up. Learn what they are doing and why they are putting a custom ROM on their device to begin with. So wouldn't need to ask, to correct and resolve the issues they have themselves.

right, and some risk of their new custom roms
custom roms sometimes hit and miss, like some bugs, interface, features and so and so

Exactly, and that's where their contribution comes in with submitting a logcat and what was being done at the time.

[Ahhzz]

That's what she said?

 

[Nordic]

It is not the size of the phone that matters, but the way you use it

Be cautious of updating-alot of carriers are now locking down the boot loaders to prevent installing custom firmware or downgrading to previous versions. Turn off automatic system updates. I had a GS4 from ATT and wound up going to a GS5 from tmobile. Now tmobile is passing out "security" updates that do the same above, i deny security updates now because after a year is up the phone is out of warranty anyway and I don't like how fruity looking touchwiz ui is on my GS5.

Thats a good point I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me. Does that still apply for me been in Australia? I guess it does. This phone is meant to get the Marshmellow update from what ive been reading but sometime in the future I might go onto cyanogenmod.

you can go back and forth between CM and stock with aussie model phones, but you'll permanently trip KNOX security - which means no 'software warranty', and some apps will never run again on stock (kids mode, KNOX mode)

i got a nexus 5 second hand for $100, and its stock firmware does everything i want from my modded note 4, S5 and note 10.1. I could run stock on a nexus with no root and not care, it just suits my needs perfectly.

Bargin on your Nexus 5! yeah thats fair enough, I only root phones when the OS starts to drive me nuts lol, so far im happy with lollipop and then Marhmellow

 

[Mussels]

if the nexus 5 had an amoled screen instead of its LCD, i'd be using it as my primary phone already. It just looks washed out comapred to even an S4, let alone the newer phones.

That said, its an 'old' nexus so its to be expected.

nexus 5x and 6P are the latest ones. I've used the 6p, but samsung and apple dominate heavily here downunder.

My collection:
Nexus 5. Stock android 6.0.1 - current spare phone
Note 4 (N910G) AOSP, but based on CM13
Galaxy S5 (g900i) CM13 - waterproof, so its the 'holiday' phone. might sell it.
Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100) CM13 (weirdly, despite its lower res the colors are still better on this than the nexus 5. this is my 2 year olds toy phone/games phone/media player)
Galaxy S1/Galaxy ace CM12.1 (spare junk, handy for friends who break their phones and need a loaner spare that can load their contacts from googles cloud)
Note 10.1 Debloated stock rom. Crap ROM support. (technically a tablet, but does call/text)

I really like the oneplus phones but I want my phone to be small, like my droid mini. I want that oxygenOS though. Maybe one of these days I will finally go through the annoying process of putting cyanogen on my droid mini.

 

[eidairaman1]

Ye

YEAH IT still applies as those updates are OTA and dependent on carrier, my phone is carrier unlocked fortunately.

 

[Nordic]

I woke up one morning and my droid mini's screen was cracked. I am not sure how this happened but I must have done it the day before and not realized it. The phone still works but the bottom 3 buttons do not making navigation difficult but not impossible. I wish they had real buttons on these things still.

I see there is glass or whole screen replacments on ebay. Has anyone had any luck with these? Example 1 and example 2.
If not does anyone have any other suggestions.

I am a big fan of Oneplus based on my experience with the One, and I'm looking forward to the Oneplus 3 whenever I can. Yet, the amazing thing is that this phone is the first time where I really don't feel like I need to upgrade and buy a new one, another reason for postponing the move to the 3.

I would recommend the full replacement option in ex1. It has the lcd, digitizer, and frame all together, and that's a huge help. I've messed with just the glass/digitizer only before, and they're a real pain; removal is tough needing heat and patience, and installation is tough needing uv glue and patience! Last time I did a replacement, I did the lcd/digitizer/frame for my Oneplus One, and it was a very simple swap.
