Rootjunky is back with another one! So far he has shown us how to bypass the factory reset protection on Samsung and LG devices. Today he released another video walking us through the method for bypassing factory reset protection on the Nexus 6p and Nexus 5x. The method is just as daunting as...

Everytime an OTA update comes out for my phone that starts the waiting game. Most OTA updates are rolled out in batches which means that you may not actually get the update to your phone for the first several days. In those cases you can wait on someone to pull the update file from the OTA and...

I personally love the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the Nexus 6P. The back of the device for me seems to be the most ergonomic. For me the home button placement on the front of devices like the iPhone and Note 5 can be uncomfortable and hard to reach. These front facing fingerprint...

As much as I love stock Android on the Nexus 6P I am a flashaholic at heart. This is one of the biggest reasons I love the Nexus 6P is the ability to easily unlock the bootloader and run custom roms. CyanogenMod 13 is officially available for the 6P. This includes all the standard Marshmallow...

Well this is a bit frustrating. After having finished up reviews on a few other devices I have finally been able to use my Nexus 6P as a daily driver device. Of course the first thing I decided to do was unlock the bootloader, flash recovery, and root the device. Now I am stuck with the warning...

Center clock is the best way to view the clock on your status bar in my opinion. It may sound strange, but having the clock in the center can clean up the status bar and just make finding the time easier as the clock stands out being in the center of your notifications, and status icons. This...

Google has added a new secret feature "System UI Tuner" which allows you to make a small handful of changes to your UI. This feature is really in its infancy, and Google warns that it is beta and can cause things to bug out, but I am hoping that Google decides to do more with this in the future...

If you are coming to the Nexus 6P from a Galaxy device you might be annoyed at the placement of the recent and back soft keys in the nav bar. You may have become so accustomed to their placement on your Note 5 or Galaxy S6 that you have accidentally pressed the wrong button on your Nexus 6P a...

Anyone else get the OTA yet, or did you all go ahead and flash it? Or are you waiting? Let's discuss. Haha! My phone is currently rebooting after the install. Just got the OTA. Around 75mb. I'm excited to see if the fix for bluetooth volume makes any difference with the BT device...

If you want to root your Nexus 6P you will have to forfeit the use of Android Pay. At least that used to be the case. There is now a custom rom that allows you to be both rooted and use Android Pay! The Chroma Rom gives you a mostly stock AOSP experience with some custom mods which help with the...

The easiest way to root and bootloader unlock your Nexus device has now been updated. The Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit has been updated to version 2.1.0. It now fully supports the both the Nexus 5x and Nexus 6P. It also fully supports Android 6.0 Marshmallow. With the toolkit you can do pretty...

It's that time of week again, GATE time! It seems that a new "gate" has popped up for the Nexus 6P just about every week since it shipped. First we had incredible hulk bending the device in half on camera, then we had a handful of people on reddit saying their back glass was randomly shattering...

How much do you have free? Guess I don't need 64GB.

Bootloader unlocking veterans probably did the same thing I did when they first got their Nexus 6P. Of course the first thing I wanted to do was get that bootloader unlocked and get TWRP installed. I plugged my 6P into my PC and proceeded to boot the phone into fastboot mode so I could unlock...

JerryRigEverything put two Nexus 6P's through a bend test, snapping each one in half. Recently a new "gate" for the Nexus 6P showed up on reddit where users were reporting that their back glass was "spontaneously shattering". I decided to do a drop test to ensure that impact was not causing the...

Welcome to Cortex! This is based on the current Developer Preview. I modeled this after how I have my device set up. Sizable feature list, and will have, as of the time of release, the most current apps available (select apps). Features: - Pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.78-SR5 - Includes Busybox...

A few weeks ago we found out that there was an issue with some third part cases blocking the Nexus 6P sensors in the camera hump. When case manufacturers build cases based on build schematics they are normally dead on, but when you buy cases early you still run the risk of something not fitting...

My Nexus 6P is finally rooted! What I didn't realize before getting started with the process is that it only works if you have accepted the OTA update to the latest build. The reason for this is that in order to root you have to flash a modified boot image. Chainfire based the modified boot...

With the holidays in full swing many of you will be doing lots of traveling. I am right there with you. We have trips to spend time with family for both Thanksgiving and Christmas not to mention a trip to DisneyWorld coming up in just a few weeks. As the proud owner of a shiny new Nexus 6P I...

The devices coming from the Nexus lineup are the ultimate in developer friendliness. They can all be easily bootloader unlocked and rooted. As such you can easily flash all kinds of mods and roms to these devices. While the Nexus phones are super easy to mod not everyone is well versed in the...
