Why? Because people are idiots? If anything it will most likely educate more people and anyone who acts offended can be laughed at and called names.

To be fair, it *is* a Swastika...it's been a Buddhist symbol of peace auspiciousness for thousands of years - just kinda fell out of fashion in the last 80 years or so.

I had to double check the image to make sure I didn't mis-see it. I could see where someone might be offended if it was in the direction of the hooked cross, but it isn't. It is ironic and comical that people would get upset over it.

There's some stuff built into android and the play store, this basically covers it

Like it says, if you want stuff like browser filtering you'll need apps, but it depends what you want really

Sorry, I should have been more specific heh. I'm mainly looking for the ability to set manual URLs through a browser filter.

I don't even understand why this would even be a question, but then again I don't know anything about snapchat either.

To be clear, unless there is something special about snapchat, the answer to your question is "no".

Well I'll simply ask, if anyone has the knowledge. Are there any other Snapchat apps that aren't Casper? It's down the majority of the time.

I can't remember the last time I heard of one, Snapchat actively tries to block them. There was an Xposed module at one point but, last I heard, the dev gave up on it. I'm probably not the best source though since I haven't used Snapchat or rooted my phone in a while now.

It really depends. I always rooted my phones up until last March when I got the S7 Edge and I haven't missed it at all.

One of the main reasons I would want it rooted is that I can't touch my phone while in work as I got a slapped wrist a while back but if I could remote onto it, that would save me the trouble.

Can I remote onto the phone without rooting?

Both my wife and I tried Inbox for about a week. Neither of us thought it was worth sticking with, with the way we manage our messages. But if it works for you, then use it.

Strange, isn't it?!


I'm that guy with two thousand unread messages and I'm generally hands-off with my email. It's nice letting Inbox categorize stuff for me and it does a good job at making personal emails from real people stick out. It did take some getting used to in the beginning, but if your use case is like mine, it'll be good.

EDIT: I don't have many labels, but I think it would manage those very well too.

I also don't have anything in my inbox, but I don't prefer either Gmail or Inbox and since I switched to Inbox to try it out I just never switched back.
