How to Get Your Android Device to Show up in File Explorer (If It Isn’t) We love using our Android phones and tablets to listen to tunes and watch videos, but in order to get those files on your device, sometimes you have to transfer them over from your laptop or desktop PC. When things work right, it’s great, but it can be frustrating if your device stops appearing in File Explorer. Normally, when you plug in your Android device, Windows will recognize it as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device and quietly mount it. From there you can browse the device’s storage and easily add or delete files. Of course, you can do this from your phone or tablet, the Play Store is chock full of file system applications. But, using a traditional desktop computer can turn a potentially long, tedious operation, into a short, blissful one. However, if you’ve ever attempted to unlock your device such as to install a new ROM or root it, then you may have at one time or another installed the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) driver on your computer.
CyanogenMod 7 Released for LG P350 Difficulty: The LG P350, also known as the LG Optimus ME Titanium, is a mid range device that is pretty affordable. If that isn’t enough, it also has received CyanogenMod 7. XDA Member pax0r has been kind enough to compile the mega popular ROM to this humble device and while the ROM is still a beta, it’s got enough features working to use as a daily driver for some people. The list of features not working is very short and only includes a small break in the camera where users can’t see previews. It’s testing and still WIP release so there still could be bugs. Before installing, make sure you pick up the LG Optimus ME compatible custom recovery from the link and always take the proper precautions such as creating a full backup. For additional information, the installation instructions, download links and if you just want to keep updated on the progress, you can find all that and more in pax0r’s original thread. _________Want something on the XDA Portal?

Supercharge and Automate Your Android Phone with On{X} @AnxiousLogic is a contrarian: Mark Zuckerberg, et al, at facebook, have shown themselves to not be above flat-out lying to its users, and flat-out violating — usually egregiously — their privacy. One would have to have spent the past few years living under a rock — and also unconscious — not to be painfully aware of this. Your question, then, smacks as intentionally clueless... in the hope, I suspect, of getting those who maybe tend to go through life a bit more asleep at the switch than some of the rest of us to assume that there's no actual problem. There is an incontrovertible problem; and shame on you for suggesting, by your posting, here, that there might not be. The problem with facebook logins is, in a word, privacy... ...or, more accurately, facebook's outrageous and routine violations thereof. But, anyway... continuing... Then there's just the simple, "what in the world does my facebook acount have to do with this app?" And no Lifehacker poll is necessary. Gregg DesElms
