And it's not just the Galaxy Note 8's camera — the S8- and S7-types can get in on this madness as well. It's best if you have an Exynos version.

Ditching the Droid Turbo 2’s Verizon logo is surprisingly easy
We were in New York for the Droid Turbo 2 launch where a short 20-minute press conference took place in which the phone was dropped several times. And the screen didn’t shatter. We discussed what Motorola’s Shatter Shield technique covers in terms of protecting the phone itself during this week’s ...

How to get the Harman/Kardon Edition software on any HTC One M8
Last week, we saw the Sprint exclusive Harman/Kardon edition of the HTC One M8. As we saw in Michael’s unboxing and hands-on with the special edition One M8, it comes with a black and champagne paint job, a nice pair of Harman/Kardon earbuds, and special software which is said to improve audio quality. We can’t quite confirm the latter just yet, as he is currently going ears-on the device. ...

How to root and install Xposed Framework on the Moto X (Video)
The Moto X may be a spectacular little handset. Most of us here at Pocketnow have been smitten with the smartphone since we first laid eyes on it and Moto Maker back in 2013. And several of us now use the Moto X as our full-time daily drivers. Regardless of how much love the Moto X has received from press and most of those who have used it, Motorola’s modest flagship hasn’t managed to turn the heads of too many developers, even with a ...

How to return your HTC One to Sense 5 (Video)
We showed you how to install the Google Play edition software on your HTC One, and we gave you five great reasons why you should at least try it. But we understand that stock Android isn’t for everyone.

Here’s how to customize the navigation buttons on your Android device (Video)
Android is renowned for its vast customization options. Quite literally, if there is an aspect of the UI that you’re not fond of, with a little elbow grease and some know-how, you can change or even sometimes remove that specific element and replace it with someone else’s mod (or even your own, if you’re that advanced). You can try out new ROMs, keyboards, ...

Make your HTC One an official Google Play edition in ten minutes (Video)
When HTC announced there would be a Google Play edition HTC One following Google I/O in May, many existing owners of Ones were upset, and rightly so. They purchased what they thought was exactly what they had been waiting for, one of the best smartphones ever created. And just weeks after purchasing it, it was revealed that it would soon be sold running completely stock Android. I’d be upset, too. I’ve been begging for more stock Android phones for at least three years now. Fortunately, developers ...

Before and after: an overclocked Galaxy Note II (Video)
The Galaxy Note II was once one of the fastest and most powerful smartphones on the market. But with newer Snapdragon chipsets and faster clock speeds, the Note II is begging to show its age, if only a tiny bit. The 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 chip is definitely no slouch, but it isn’t quite as snappy or powerful as more modern chips. To speed things up, nothing ever works quite as well as wiping the phone and starting from scratch. As you load more games and

Before and after: an overclocked Nexus 4 (Video)
The Nexus 4 is the go-to device for many developers. Offering the purest Google experience and literally built for developers, it’s the most vanilla Android experience possible. It’s lightweight and comes with no bloatware. There’s practically nothing to over-encumber the device straight out of the box. That said, the handset is beginning to age as faster, more efficient chipsets arrive. It just doesn’t feel as fast as it once did. ...

How to make your HTC One a ‘Google Edition’ (Video)
When HTC announced the Developer Edition HTC One, we were a little surprised. Unlike years past, the company decided to play nicely with one of Android’s most unique, defining features, the third-party developers who tweak and mod devices to no end. Samsung stole a bit of HTC’s flame at Google I/O, however, when Google’s Hugo Barra took the stage and unveiled a Galaxy S 4 running stock Android which will go on sale directly from

Root Your HTC One and Make These Awesome Changes (Video)
The HTC One is just a few weeks old (officially), but there is a handful of developers hard at work on HTC’s 2013 flagship. As expected, the ROM support is paltry at this point, and the mods are few and far between. But make no mistake, the development and support for this device is showing positive signs early-on. By rooting your HTC One, you can apply these much-needed mods to the interface, remove bloatware and make other changes. Make sure ...
