[Q] Suggestion for basic Android phone please topic

Hello,

U.S. user here...I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (stuck with ATT) that I absolutely don't like. I'd like a basic android phone that has

• bluetooth


• a removable battery


• will allow me to flash a custom rom


• run the barebones needed

I don't run apps - other than mail and sms. I despise Samsung's crapware and their desire to listen in on anything going through the phone. Screen size isn't important.
Thanks!

Z3 Performance degrades even for basic apps topic

I had Z1 prior to Z3 and performance degraded overtime, not because the number of apps because that hasn't changed, but after multiple software updates. I haven't had any updates on my TMO Z3 yet, but I already feel like it's getting slower, even though I am not running any heavy apps on it. It just feels sluggish when doing basic things like launching standard Phone or Sms apps. Oh, and I am not running Stamina mode either.

some basic questions... topic

Hi all, so it seems our device isnt getting much support or anything so I've decided to take the plunge try to learn something about porting and see if i can port something to our device... for me its not such a risk as the phone was basically a gift so if it gets bricked ill be sad but not end of the world sad...
so first off i have a few questions

1 the code name all the phones seem to have dev codenames... and of course i notices in the jmz kernal we are downloading the a3ul kernal. so is this the actual name for our phone.. i ask because there are some stock roms and i thought i could maybe make these the base to start from...

2 can you give me some ideas of comparable phones i checked the htc mini one and two while close they both have different cams so i would like suggestions as to other devices so i can try downloading roms and taking them apart to see what i can find out...

3 to any devs, could you recommend some good sites to give me basics in either A)-porting a rom for us, B)-compiling a rom from some source or lastly and really hope leastly the idea of developing something myself somehow...

thanks

[TWEAKS]: Motorola Stock 5.0.2 Basic Tweaks topic

Hello Everyone,
I would like to share with you'll a few Basic Tweaks that outperformed on my Motorola Stock 5.0.2 Rom (Dual-Sim). These tweaks are aimed at Battery/Performance. Interested people can give a try.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any Soft/Hard bricks. Try at your own risk.

I am bad at explanations, so i attach the screenshots that explains them all. I recommend "Device Control" app for applying these tweaks. But again if you are a die-hard fan of some other app then you can try with that.

Precautions:
Before proceeding prefer clearing all older tweaks from kernel tweaker app and make a Reboot. Do not keep multiple kernel tweaker apps, as the settings may conflict.
Furthermore, you may disable few system apps like MotoCare, Checkin, OTA so on which unnecessarily be running in background and hogging your CPU as well as RAM.
