To be honest, this little Remix Mini is the funnest little computer I have ever used! Small enough to fit in my shirt pocket, yet hooked up to a full sized keyboard, mouse, and a 35" TV. You just can't ask for more than that! Not to mention it was …

In the continuing saga of compiling AOSP 7 for the Samsung Galaxy S4, T-Mobile variant (SGH-M919, JFLTETMO) I ran into an interesting problem. While this used to be a non-issue for building Marshmallow and earlier, libcopybit seems to now have a problem in Nougat. Let's take a look:

While I don't have one yet, I have decided that I will be getting one of these Galaxy Note Edge phones. They are a couple years old, and the price on them is going down significantly. In the meantime, I noticed that there were not very many custom roms available …

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 …

While trying to figure out the problems with video recordings (which were resolved - Praise God!) on the SGH-M919 AOKP Marshmallow ROM, I learned a lot of great things about Android's camera systems. Not the least of which was how to enable or disable camera and camera2 api's.
