Asus Zenfone 2 Bootloader Unlock

ASUS Releases Bootloader Unlocking Tool for the ZenFone 2

I always get really excited whenever I see a manufacturer who embraces rooting and understands that it doesn’t harm them. The phone has already been paid for – their money has been made – and that so long as they include a warning about potentially voiding the warranty (and that potential is based on whether the issue at hand is due to the rooting or is a manufacturer fault) they won’t have to deal with

CyanogenMod on OnePlus Two

How to Get CyanogenMod on the OnePlus Two (Video)

The original OnePlus One was the first device to be loaded with CyanogenMod, a popular third-party developer’s ROM, directly from the manufacturer. This is as opposed to the way we used to just flash CyanogenMod ourselves on the device we had regardless of what ROM came on it from the factory.

After all the hype the OnePlus One caused and the, not particularly large, but damn-loyal fanbase they achieved, they finally just launched a successor: the OnePlus Two.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is the latest large-screened device to come out of Samsung’s, seemingly constant, churring out of cell phones throughout the year. The Note 5 is the anticipated replacement to the popular Note 4 that came out last year and, like a good successor, it improves upon the last model in every way. The only thing, that hasn’t gotten much better in my opinion, is the software. If you know me, you
