How to Root LG G3! [All U.S Variants]


It's finally here! After many people asking where the root method is for the Sprint LG G3 or any other U.S LG G3 variant it finally came out thanks to IOMonster and the team! Root allows you to get "admin" access to your phone. Without being rooted you are extremely limited, even with an Android phone. 

Root will allow you to install custom ROMS like Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Paranoid Android, and many other ROMS. You can also use root apps like Titanium Backup that allows you to backup and restore your app + app data, I use this app every time I get a new phone! 

Follow the simple guide below to root your Sprint LS990 or any other U.S LG G3 variant! 

1. Go into Settings > Security > and check mark "Unknown sources". 

2. Download Stump-v1.0.0.apk to your phone using the link below.

Download Stump-v1.0.0.apk

3. Install "Stump-v1.0.0.apk" by tapping on it. You can install a file manager app from the Play Store to find it. If you downloaded the apk directly to your phone it will be located in your "Download" folder. 

4. Open up the installed Stump app and tap on "Grind". 

5. When it says "Reboot to root", reboot your phone. 

6. Download and install SuperSU from the Play Store using the link below. 

Download SuperSU

7. Open up the SuperSU app and update anything with "Normal" if asked.

8. Congrats, your LG G3 is now completely rooted. Enjoying flashing ROMS, using root apps, and using your LG G3 to its fullest!

Safestrap Recovery for AT&T/Verizon Galaxy S5!


It wasn't too long ago that both the AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5s got root access, however there wasn't a way to install any custom ROMS since there wasn't a custom recovery for the locked bootloader Galaxy S5s, not until now. We finally have Safestrap recovery for the AT&T Galaxy S5 SM-G900A and Verizon Galaxy S5 SM-G900V. 


With Safestrap recovery it creates virtual partitions that allows you to install custom ROMS, perform Nandroid backups/restores, and pretty much anything else ClockworkMod and TWRP recovery allow you to do!

Another bonus to Safestrap recovery is that it allows you to boot into multiple custom ROMS with the use of virtual partitions. This allows you to switch between a couple of ROMS whenever you feel like it!

Follow the guide below to install Safestrap recovery for AT&T Galaxy S5 SM-G900A and Verizon Galaxy S5 SM-G900V!

Requirements: 
  • You must be rooted, if your not follow this very easy root guide.
  • Have Busybox installed on your Galaxy S5, if you don't install it from the Play Store. Also open up the app and grant Superuser request.
  • Have external SD card in your Galaxy S5. 
  • Uninstall Xposed Framework if you have it installed (you can install it back after the Safestrap recovery process).
1. Go into Settings > Security > and check mark "Unknown sources".

2. Download the Safestrap recovery to your phone using the link below.
Download the correct one for your phone!!


3. Locate the APK file using a file manager app (it will be located in the phone's "Download" folder if you downloaded it directly to your phone). 

4. Tap on the APK file and select "Install", then choose "Open". 

5. It will ask you to grant Superuser request. Select "Grant".

6. A disclaimer will pop up, tap on "Agree".

7. Lastly, tap on "Install Recovery" and it will install Safestrap recovery on your AT&T/Verizon Galaxy S5. 

You're done! You can tap on "Reboot into Recovery" to enter into Safestrap recovery. You will notice that this recovery is very similar to TWRP recovery. 

Note: I HIGHLY recommend you choose "Backup" to perform a Nandroid backup before you go any further so if something ever goes wrong you can restore your phone from the latest backed up version.

FAQ: 
Q: Will this trip KNOX?
A: Nope, this will NOT trip KNOX.

Q: How do I enter into Safestrap recovery manually?
A: Reboot your phone and a splash screen will allow you to enter into "RECOVERY" or to "CONTINUE".

PACMan KitKat ROM for Galaxy Nexus! CyanogenMod/Paranoid Android/AOKP

Check out the video below!

PACMan ROM for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, Verizon, and Sprint variants is a great ROM for a few reasons. If you didn't know what PAC stands for: Paranoid Android, AOKP, and CyanogenMod. This ROM mixes all the best features from these ROMS and includes other features all into one awesome ROM! 

PACMan ROM comes with a ton of features ranging from lockscreens, to transitions, to accessing your apps so much faster! Just to name a few that I enjoy is the PACMan game that comes installed, Glowpad Doubletab Gesture, and all the custom animations. 

PACMan ROM has been around for awhile for many types of devices and brings you the ultimate ROM that is packed with all your favorite features from Paranoid Android, AOKP, and CyanogenMod all within one nicely cooked up ROM!

Remember this is still in the nightly stage so test it out at an appropriate time! 

How to fix back button issue: If your back button isn't working/stops working going into Settings > PAC Pellets > Navigation bar. Remove "back" and add a new one with the short action being back.

Download WeakSauce-1.0.1.zip

3. At the top notification area tap on "WeakSauce-1.0.1.zip" to open it up. 

4. Tap on "WeakSauce-1.0.1.apk" and select "Install". 

5. A message will pop up on your phone. Tap on "Accept". 

6. You will reach a disclaimer message. Select "Yes" to root your HTC One M8. 

7. Go to the Play Store app and install the free SuperSU app.

8. Open up the SuperSU app and update the Binary if your notified to do so. 

You are done! Your Verizon HTC One M8 is fully rooted and allows you to use apps like ROM Manager and Titanium Backup! 

Use this app to confirm that you are rooted!

SlimKat Android 4.4.2 ROM for Galaxy S4! [GT-i9505/U.S Variants]

Check out the video below!

If you're familiar with the ROM SlimBean, then you will most definitely be familiar with the ROM SlimKat. These ROMS are very similar, but SlimKat is simply based off of KitKat instead of Jellybean. This ROM for the Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and Canadian variants is a great ROM. 

This ROM is based off a clean AOSP ROM that comes with some nice features including KTweaker to take control of your kernel. You have options to change the voltage, improve performance, battery life, and so much more! SlimKat ROM also comes with a nice two layered pie control to add extra functions, and a 5x6 app drawer. 

The one feature I was surprised about was the new look of multitasking. When holding down the home button a right side panel pops up to show you all the running apps. While this feature isn't revolutionizing it does change up your usual look of the AOSP multitasking feature. 

Be sure to try out SlimKat ROM for Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and Canadian variants using the download links below!

Omni ROM for Galaxy S3! Multi-Window [All Variants]

Check out the video below!

Omni ROM for the Galaxy S3 AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Cricket, Metro, and U.S Cellular variants. This ROM is quite a unique ROM for a couple of reasons. First of all it comes with multi-window on an AOSP based ROM. Second, this ROM is made from Chainfire and other major developers.

The coolest feature in this ROM is the multi-window. You can add any 2 apps and make them run side by side in both portrait and landscape mode. While you can't adjust it if you want one app to be bigger than the other this is still a very good start!

On top of that cool feature Omni ROM also includes the Moto X Active Display which will work just as great on a Galaxy S3 since it has an LED display. One other feature is, OmniSwitch that gives you recent, favorites, and software navigation keys on the left side of your screen.

Download Omni ROM for the Galaxy S3 AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Cricket, Metro, and U.S Cellular variants using the links below

OmniMetal ROM for Galaxy Nexus! Multi-Window [GSM/Verizon/Sprint]

Check out the video below

OmniMetal ROM for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, Verizon, and Sprint is a pretty unique ROM not only for it's features, but also since it's built off Omni which big developers like Chainfire make! The "Omni" ROM has a lot of potential to change the functionality of AOSP ROMS

The biggest feature with OmniMetal ROM is that you get multi-window on a AOSP based ROM! This has never been done before in any other type of AOSP ROM. Simply open up 2 apps then tap on the recent button, tap and hold on the app you want to be multi-windowed and select "Add to Split View". This feature works quite well and is still being improved! 

OmniMetal ROM also offers a couple of other neat features like editable tiles right within quick settings, the Moto X Active Display notification system, and one of my more favorite features, Animation Control. This allows you to get really cool transitions from going from an app to the homescreen, launching an app, etc!

AOKP ROM Android 4.4.2 KitKat for Galaxy S4! [All U.S Variants]

Check out the video below!

AOKP ROM for the Galaxy S4 T-Mobile, AT&T, Canadian, Verizon, Sprint, U.S Cellular, and Cricket variants is all based off the latest Android version, Android 4.4.2. AOKP ROM is currently one of the most popular ROMS for a wide variety of Android devices. 

Even though this ROM is based off the nightly build I haven't seen any major problems with this ROM. Features like your WiFi, Data, calling, camera, etc all work without any problems at all! However, some AOKP features don't seem to be working and will probably get fixed when the next nightly is released. 

AOKP ROM offers quite of bit of features for your Galaxy S4 handset. All within ROM control in Settings you have features like recent RAM bar, tap the status bar to sleep, change the function of the hardware keys, and my favorite one that allows you to change toggle to the traditional scrollable option above notifications! 

Download AOKP ROM for Galaxy S4 using the links below!

How to Install Custom ROMS using Safestrap on Galaxy Note 3!


With the AT&T SM-N900A and Verizon SM-N900V Galaxy Note 3s having a locked bootloader the entire Android development was completely dead, until the release of Safestrap Recovery. Using Safestrap Recovery you can install custom ROMS even with the Galaxy Note 3 having a locked bootloader. 


The Safestrap Recovery creates new "virtual" partitions slots where you can install custom ROMS, completely bypassing the whole bootloader process and essentially creating its own "ecosystem" to install ROMS and other flash zip files from! 


To make things ever better this custom recovery allows you to boot multiple ROMS too! You have the option to install as many as 4 custom ROMS all on your Galaxy Note 3 and switch between them whenever you feel like it! 


Follow the guide below to install ROMS on AT&T or Verizon Galaxy Note 3 using Safestrap Recovery!


Note: Your Galaxy Note 3 needs to be rooted, follow one of these guides to root the AT&T or Verizon Galaxy Note 3.


1. Download the Safestrap APK directly to your AT&T or Verizon Galaxy Note 3 using the links below. 


Download Safestrap APK for AT&T SM-N900A Galaxy Note 3
Download Safestrap APK for Verizon SM-N900V Galaxy Note 3
2. Using a file manager application, like ES File Explorer navigate to the downloads folders and tap on the Safestrap APK and install it. 

If your denied access you need to go into Settings and check mark "Unknown Sources" then try again. 

3. Now open up the Safestrap app and grant Superuser request. 

4. Select "Install Recovery" and the app will install the custom Safestrap Recovery for the Galaxy Note 3. 

5. Reboot your Note 3 and you will see 2 options pop up. Boot into "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE", tap on "RECOVERY".

6. After you entered into Safestrap Recovery you will see similar options to TWRP like "Install", "Backup" and "Wipe". 

7. Before continuing you should make a "Backup" of your stock ROM that you can restore to later just in case something goes wrong when you flash a custom ROM. 

To do this select "Backup" and it will save the file in /TWRP/backup. 

8.  Now we're going to create virtual partitions so we can start installing custom ROMS. 

Tap on "Boot Options" and select any of the slots on the left side of the screen. I'm going to select "ROM-Slot-1" for obvious reasons. 

You can install it over the stock ROM, but you really shouldn't! 

9. Now you have the options to change the size of the system, data, and cache partitions. 

You should leave everything the same except the "Data partition size". Change the size depending on how much room you need including future app installation space and other personal content. 

10. Now tap on "Create ROM Slot". This will create your virtual partition for your Galaxy Note 3. 

11. When complete "ROM-Slot-1" should now be highlighted, indicating that "ROM-Stock-1" is going to boot up. 

Now we need to install a custom ROM. 

12. Go back to the main menu and choose "Wipe". 

13. Now tap on "Install" on the main menu and locate the ROM you want to install and select it. Slide your finger to confirm the installation. 

14. Once complete tap on "Reboot System" and your Galaxy Note 3 will boot into the new custom ROM you just installed!
