note 5

If you are able to root your Note 5 you can totally delete unwanted apps with titanium backup. The only problem with deleting apps completely is that this hinders you from receiving updates. You actually have to go out and reinstall those deleted apps before you will be able to accept an OTA. An...

Earlier this evening PC747 made a good and valid argument on why Root is dying. As these phones get higher speced and the software is tweaked we are finding less reasons to really NEED root. At this point if you are rooting you are doing so to either stick it to the man, or because you genuinely...

Now that the Note 5 has been rooted there are all sorts of mods and hacks we can apply. The fact that the Note 5 has a bottom speaker instead of a front speaker was a bummer to some of you. I like the front speaker too, but am glad that they decided to not go with a back speaker. There is now a...

Xposed framework allows you to get most of the customizations you would want from a rom with only root. Now that the Note 5 has been rooted Xposed developers have been able to make Xposed compatible with the device. The Xposed framework was built and tested on a Galaxy S6, but should work the...

In this video we run the Antutu benchmark on the Note 5. The phone with its power house specs chews right through the benchmark with no problems at all. It beats the Note 4 in the test handily. Is this a worthy upgrade. If performance is your only concern then yes!

If you study up on the current root method for the Note 5 it is said to work with all variants of the Note 5 minus the AT&T and Verizon versions. On the main root thread there is a sub link to "test methods". If you follow the link you will find many test kernels which are said to root many...

The Galaxy Note 5 now has root thanks to a pre rooted kernel from developer "Manh_IT". His method for root simply involves flashing a custom recovery to your device and then flashing his prerooted kernel via recovery. The only downside here is that this method will trip Knox which means that you...

One huge complaint from power users is the inclusion of Bloatware on carrier version phones. The worst case of bloatware on the phone has to be the Lenovo K3 Note. The bloatware on this phone was so ridiculous it nearly ruined the device for me. Verizon has been pretty bad about including bloat...

Samsung has done a pretty awesome job in the past of offering some great extra free goodies with their flagship devices. The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge both came with a free year of Netflix. I was actually able to rack up 2 free years since I bought one of each device and was really hoping they would...

The biggest complaint of the Note 5 has to be the lack of a micro sdcard slot. Their are two memory variants available so far for the Note 5. You have a choice between a 32GB version and a 64GB version. Their is a 128GB version said to be in the works, but may not be available in the USA. The...

A nasty little Note 5 "defect" has popped up over the weekend. This is less of a defect than it is just a common sense issue. As more and more users are upgrading to the Note 5 they are finding out that putting the SPen back into the device up side down can cause a huge issue. The all new SPen...

There are some new features included with the new Note 5 S-Pen. One standout feature is the new Scroll Capture. Scroll Cap allows you to grab an entire feed. You can screen capture your entire twitter feed or long documents, and even whole webpages. You can easily write notes on these screen...

Wow I was really not expecting the above results! The LG G4 has some great specs. The G4 has a Snapdragon 808 six core processor clocked at 1.8Ghz and 3GB of Ram while the Note 5 has an Exynos 7420 octacore processor clocked at 2.1Ghz and 4GB of ram. On paper the Note 5 should be the clear...
