Sky go and root?

Just added this to my subscription so that I could use it on my nexus to find it will not work on my rooted device.
I only rooted to install a volume mod (which i would like to keep) but not that bothered about ROMs etc.
Anyway to get this working while keeping root?
Can I remove root but keep my volume mod on there now its installed?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

There are threads about this all over the place. Using search at the top level will probably yield more results

Tried searching from the mobile app and not finding anything...
If its been talked about a lot then I guess the answer should be simple, which is.........?

I believe the answer is no, but you'd have to look into it further.
Edit: Yep, using "Search all open forums" for "Sky go root" hundreds of threads found.

Thank you
Found some when I searched again and filtered the search to specific 'sky go'
There should be some kind of mention on this when you go to install the app, or better still not let you install it if your rooted. I think its crafty they do that and then have you pay for the extra feature you can't use!
Going to have to ring them and get it cancelled as don't want to loose the volume mod.

Its a ridiculous thing to block root for anyway!

Your experience with the Nexus 5

Hey everyone!
I want to know your experience with the Nexus 5 (See at the topic).
Do you have good experience or more bad ? I am considering to buy me one but want to hear your opinion.
So let me know guys!
Thanks!

Bad signal

Can't you just read the existing threads and reviews? I don't think this warrants a new thread

Is there a descent FM radio appz out there that's free?

Nope, because nexus 5 hasn't got any fm hardware

You can use an internet radio like "Tune In", for example

How is it free? Surely it uses your data usage?

Basically what those pictures show, I want a white looking Android like that with those pop-ups and what not

You could possibly achieve the pop ups with the toasts as per the other thread. Would be similar anyway

If this was made for a Theme engine (such as in CyanogenMod) I'd be on it like a shot.. Surely could be done
Especially if the blue was replaced with KitKat white to add consistency and move on from the general 33b5e5 theme

So the guy on that site is just posting some design ideas, not actually developing a modified ROM?

i, for one, hate the idea of turning Android back into iOS.
if i wanted an iPhone, i would have bought an iPhone...

What do you mean by "back to iOS", when was Android like iOS?
Anyway, I do think that the settings menu looks a lot like iOS, but I like that volume panel, nice rounded design with expansion button.

Android was pretty iOS like in the beginning, but once people started learning about being able to change the general look and feel (more than just wallpaper and icon placement), it started to differentiate itself.
but i guess i should have said if i wanted my phone to look more like iOS7, i would have bought an iPhone

Here's a theme from a thread that's in the sticky above.

Looks great but I HATE THE WHITE SETTINGS. Keep background black, all else white. Hurts my eyes having all white.

[Q] Since we have an S800 chip..

Anyone tried using this to boost battery life? What are your reviews/comments about it?

I used it on my S2 and it really helped. I don't see a need for it on my N5 since i get 17 hours of juice. I may use again if I notice a drop.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Dramatic increase or not? I'm not really a power user but using this along with Franco Kernel might really help no?

I just installed it. I'm totally stock and battery life is amazing for me. But I'll give it a try anyways

Sounds interesting as its by qualcomm themselves but I have reservations.

Yeah, but it won't hurt to try yes? Stumbled upon it by chance, and since we are s800 chipped smartphones, trying it out won't be that bad.
Also if someone is already using this, can someone post a screenshot before and after using the app? thanks!

Yeah I'm trying it.

Thanks! Hope it can be some sort of a remedy at least to some battery problems.

I'll be honest, my battery is great anyway

This app sounds too good to be true. I don't see how it could do anything about SOT, which is my big problem. But I guess it would be interesting to test, with all its pseudo-AI learning and adapting and whatnot.

Other than altering brightness,.the only way to increase SoT is to reduce everything else not screen related

True. Ah, if only one were able to switch out the battery. When I had my Note II, I carried a couple of spares in my pocket and never had to worry about all this rigmarole. It was great.

Used this on my Xplay, dident do anything as I already used greenify... they work similarly!

Oh god not this app again. This will actually increase battery drain, very dramatically too. Check the reviews on Play and xda.

The thing is that it needs location services permanently. Of course, you can choose the option which doesn't locate that accurate but I guess it still drains battery significantly.
I rather do all the stuff manually. Turning off WiFi when leaving the house, only using Bluetooth when I'm in my car (audio stream) and so on
