Sometimes, Jack just doesn't want to play. Here is the error I got while trying to compile AOSP 7.0 for the Samsung SGH-M919, T-Mobile S4:

Testers requested for AOKP 6.0.1 on the Note Edge, T-Mobile variant.
Hi, I have built several roms for other phones, both personally, and shared here on my website, or on XDA.
The Note Edge N915T is getting pretty cheap to buy off of Swappa, Ebay, and Amazon, and …
Sometimes Android does stuff that is probably a good idea, but is really annoying to the compiler. By compiler, I mean guys or gals like you and I who really want to compile AOSP 7.0, but can't because all of our old device trees have cflags set. Without warning …
I have been getting quite a few requests on XDA from members who need to know how to put TWRP and custom roms on their Samsung Galaxy S4. So, I thought I would post it here as well. Keep in mind, this does not work for Verizon, Sprint, or AT …

Android has a …
We talked about overclocking the CPU of the S4 (SGH-M919) before, but today I wanted to point out some great work by Faux123 that showed me exactly what to do to overclock the Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) of my S4. Faux123's work was far more impressive then my own, with …
There are a lot of guides out there about CPU and GPU governors. They are all very informative, and usually somewhat technical. The other day, however, I needed to explain CPU and GPU governors to a non-technical person, and I realized that a lot of big verbiage and vague terms …
I'm not one for app reviews, but when I find a tool that really seems to help me, I like to share that info with others. One such tool is µTorrent. Simple, clean, easy to use and understand. Those are the principle reasons I like it.
