    You can install Superuser straight from the Play store but you still need to root first or its useless as far as I know.

    It's aa root method I'm after that's not overly complicated to do.

    Download supersu 2.46, a quick Google will get you a link.

    Put it on the device somewhere.

    Revolt to recovery.

    Find the zip file you downloaded. Flash it.

    Device rooted.

    Only if you have a custom recovery and not the locked down stock one that devices come with. Installing a custom recovery requires you to unlock the bootloader which will wipe the device.

    Hoping it is as good as Strangers Wrath

    Is this a platformer or similar to Strangers Wrath? I played the original 2 games way back in the day and they were fantastic, but Strangers Wrath was not my cup of tea.

    Some levels were impossibly hard, while they next one was dead easy, I was surprised at my own perseverance, only having to youtube one solution (for shame, I know I know)


    Was definitely my favourite time killer this year, big thanks for the recommendation dude.

    Not as detailed as the pc version but it suits me as I don't have endless hours to be doing interviews and studying the opposition. I'm going to hold out for the touch version which is more advanced than the mobile version and stick it on my Yoga 2.

    This is my first ever Android thingy and I LOVE it can't stop playing it. :o Very addictive to try and get farther. It's possibly something very basic and simplistic for a hardcore Gamer who may be able to get to 100% straightaway but I like it. : ) Very cool on my big-ass-Pencil-case-size humongous screen may I say.

    The Unbeatable Game Unchained

    Excited now to find more equally cool things but the GooglePlay Store is shyte to use from what I can gather. I can't find a way to segregate free games.

    I just bought this and then it start asking me to pay more for using the features it advertises in the app store!
    Did I take this up wrong?
    I've gotten a refund anyway, until I can clarify what I just paid for.

    EDIT: It was the "Powerful upgrades (available as an in-app purchase):" part that I missed. Thought they were listed as being in the app as well.

    What app do people use for reminding themselves of stuff in the long term and the short term? Id like to be able to set reminders and have a general "To-do" list.

    Actually if Google Calendar had a To-do list it would be perfect...

    This, or google tasks as they should both integrate with google calendar.

    I also use any.do which links into any.cal.
    Does the same thing with a different interface. Does a general reminder thing at 9am to setup your day and reminds you what you need to do.

    It integrates with my Google Calendar and vice-versa.

    Any Do

    Great app, well implemented snooze function, browser version for desktop and a useful any do "moment" every morning where you have to review items that are coming up that day.

    Football manager 16 touch edition has finally been released. It's a beefed up version of the mobile game. It's €20 so probably only for the hardcore fans. Also only available on high powered tablets.

    Just noticed that Amazon Underground has added Star Wars KOTOR to it's list of 'Actually Free' apps. It's currently €10.95 on Google Play, so it's a pretty good deal. Be warned, it comes with a hefty 2GB download.

    The geographical restrictions apply to Amazon Underground. If you have your Amazon account correctly configured with a UK address then the product installs without any restrictions. Here's a helpful post that describes the process.

    Set your "one click purchase" address to your Parcel Motel UK address. That's what got underground working for me. You don't have to use one click when buying other stuff so it should have no I'll effect on your other usage of Amazon for buying stuff if you don't want to use PM.

    I don't know about speeding up but this is the best part of what that App (and ones like it) is good for
    download files in background and resume after failure
