How-To: Root LG G Pad 8.3

The LG G Pad 8.3 is the company’s latest tablet entry, and it’s recently gained root access! Those who want to see custom ROMs for the tablet are going to have to wait a bit, but you can at least now take full advantage of applications that require root to work. If you want to root your LG G Pad 8.3, follow along, as we’re going to show you how to do it! That said, there are a few warnings before we get started.

Before you root: Keep in mind that we take no responsibility for what happens to your G Pad is something goes wrong.

While unconfirmed, the original post on XDA for this root method gives the following warning:

Some people have reported that some of your data and IMEI numbers may be sent to a Chinese IP address at the time of root (only a one time thing). You can use this at your own risk, it will give you root but I recommend removing all the data you don’t want others to have access to before rooting. No one has reported anything happening with this data (no stolen accounts etc) but still should warn you. We also don’t know the extent of it or what data is copied. If you are paranoid wait for a replacement method.

You’ve been warned about the above possibility, but if you’re jonesing for some root action on your LG G Pad 8.3, follow along with this simple and straight forward rooting method.

Let’s get started, shall we?

We have confirmed this root method to work, although the LG G Pad 8.3 is not mentioned as a supported device on the Kingo website.Now that you’re rooted, it’s time to patiently await a custom recovery and ROMs to find their way to this awesome tablet!

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for any news coming from the Ubuntu camp and let you know as soon as we have something new to add. Stay tuned… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been...

Mad, bad, rad! The craziest extreme sports ever

While extreme sports often seem like masochistic thrill-rides for musclemen and daredevils, they’re not all about brawn. Skateboarding, BMXing, free running, you name a crazy, adrenalin pumping sport and the likelihood is you’ll find someone with a Lumia in-hand. Maybe it’s the smartphones’ creative design or the crazy colours. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, extreme sports people love to think outside (cartwheel over and jump) the box. To see for yourself, prepare to marvel at the most imaginative sports ever invented. And, please, do NOT try these at home… Human Slingshot Well, this does what it says on the tin. Think bungee cord, a hill, an 8ft jump, a willing victim and a big lake. A quad bike and a bungee cord tug you and your dinghy down the slope and over the jump; the bungee whips the dingy away, and you’re in the air! Definitely not for the weak of heart, but still the closest you might ever come to flying. Train Surfing When waves just don’t cut it for you anymore, you...
