Desktop Megathread 3

Yeah, but the whole process of rooting, installing a custom recovery, and then flashing the new ROM... There's so many different things, minute details that I have to pay attention to, etc. That in itself isn't so bad, but when you add that to the fact that I have to start with one version of Android and manually upgrade it twice too just to get it to stock lollipop it's just ugh

The one tap roots seem to work fine on LG phones. Once rooted installing a custom recovery is as simple as going to the app store and downloading your TWRP installer. :v
I did it all on my Note 3 without even using a PC.

I've done it on the Galaxy S1, S2, S3, Nexus 7, LG G3, and Note 3 with no problemo.

Well I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The farthest I got was rooted on lollipop with the TWRP installed. I then created a backup and it wouldn't boot after that.

looks like since we stopped using directv, we can't use an AT&T unlimited plan so we're switching to either t-mobile or verizon
i may be able to/have to get a new phone :^)

Do you have a budget? If you're looking to keep it cheap, the LG G2 is still a fantastic phone with good performance, a great screen, and an awesome camera. You can find a new one for like $200.

im not sure if anyone's heard of this trick so I'll just say it here

you know how if you set pngs as your wallpaper on Windows, it compresses like crazy?

you can get passed this by renaming the file extension from .png to a .jpg  and then set it as your background. you won't lose any quality. works for other extensions like .BMP too

Gotta love Edge. I clicked this thread and it loaded about a minute and a half later, even with ;wap2 on the address bar.

so GNOME 3.20 was released, and they forgeted over anyone not using libinput for input. they dropped support for synaptics.
in my case, i have to use synaptics/evdev drivers or i just have no trackpad support at all

so i dropped Budgie (as much as i like it) for XFCE
:(

I just really like how Unity works compared to most other DE's, and Ubuntu is the only system that it really seems to work properly on.
