I use the DL app all day, every day. I literally check at least every hour. I’d gladly pay for a Premium version.

I was going to post this. More people need to realize this before they start freaking out. The Verizon GS3 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, not a Samsung Exynos CPU.

I posted about this a couple days ago. Too bad it disables your FFC but at least it can be toggled. Odd that Samsung would use camera drivers that need access to normally protected file system areas.

Since everyone’s phone is rooted and unlocked (right?) can we just use another kernel and not care? “Unauthorized apps” has to be checked for Titanium Backup to work and I’m sure some others do.
