CyanogenMod 13.0 Nightly Builds Available for Asus ZenFone 2

Android 6.0 Marshmallow spree continues, as we’ve seen numerous devices getting various incarnations of this system. This time, CyanogenMod 13 has been ported to ASUS ZenFone 2. XDA Senior Member jrior001, who is one of the main developers, managed to fix most of the issues and the ROM is considered as a nightly. It’s an amazing achievement considering the fact that the first release was made just nine days ago.

GNU Linux Captured Running On Android Wear

Seeing other operating systems on Android devices isn’t uncommon. Seeing a working GNU Linux on an Android Wear device is.

Android Marshmallow Limits Addition to User Dictionary

In older versions of Android, any third-party app could add words to the user dictionary. One developer noticed that his app could no longer add words to the user dictionary on 6.0, and a Google developer responded saying that this behavior was intentional. It seems that Google has restricted which apps can modify the user dictionary by only allowing the current IME and spell checker apps to make changes. This move was probably done to prevent intrusive spam from littering your dictionary.

[Xposed] Set MTP or PTP as Default USB Connection on Marshmallow

For the Android 6.0 update, Google changed the default option to charging for when you plug your phone into any PC’s USB port. If you, like me, would prefer to go back to the previous functionality where your phone automatically enabled an MTP/PTP connection, then you might be interested in trying out XDA Senior Member FemBlack‘s new Xposed module that allows you to change the default option.
