Forum Thread: How to Improve The Display Quality of Your Nexus 5

The 5 inch IPS LCD display in the Nexus 5 provides great viewing angles and brilliant outdoor performance however when we come to color reproduction and saturation the is still much left to be desired. The color saturation is a big improvement from the Nexus 4 but is still slightly behind the Nexus 5's flagship rivals, such as the Galaxy S5 which feat...

Forum Thread: Rooted Android Devices

I'm quite new to Rooting and I'm planning on rooting my device, I'm aware that you have to give applications permissions and so forth but I was wondering is there anyway one could limit an applications permissions?

I'd just like to run the application with disabling those specific permissions and just give it WiFi permissions, if that makes any sense whatsoever. Any help/sugges...

Forum Thread: Start Here by Introducing Yourself to the Community
