You can now Root Android M!
While it wasn’t totally unexpected, rooting the new developer preview of Android M wasn’t the first thing i thought of when Pichai was unveiling the update. Rooting a Nexus however, has not been seen as one of the most difficult tasks in the Android community. The community prevails once again with this root method for Android M.
The process is decidedly simple. All you need to do it flash a custom recovery, kernel, and boot image to keep from triggering the validation flag, and then flash the SuperSU .zip to ensure that the device is rooted. This allows you to change files you wouldn’t normally be able to see — something those of you who have already updated to the M preview already know.
This exact process is as follows:
Download custom kernel and SuperSU zips
Put both in your /sdcard/
Download the boot image
Reboot bootloader
Flash boot image
Reboot
Reboot into recovery
Flash kernel then SuperSU
Reboot
Profit

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
