OxygenOS 3.2.6, still based on Marshmallow, is rolling out to the OnePlus 3. This update brings a bunch of fixes and improvements to the device, including adding Doze and Pocket mode switches in settings, and fixing bluetooth connection issues with vehicles.
If you find disabling root everytime you want to use Android Pay or play Pokemon GO a pain, you can try out AutoMagisk. Once apps are blacklisted, AutoMagisk disables root when these apps are launched.
The Galaxy Note 7's that are being sold post the recall, or given as replacement units for the original, will come with Green Battery Icons on the status bar, on the Always-On Display screen and the Power-Off Prompt. Additionally, users can look for a square symbol on the packaging label of the phone to identify if the phone is marked as safe-to-use.

The unlocked bootloader version of the ZTE Axon 7 might get official CyanogenMod support soon, as ZTE is working directly with the Cyanogen team to provide official ROM support for the same. ZTE has mentioned that they are providing hardware and will provide support to Cyanogen as needed, directly. However, to clarify, the ZTE Axon 7 will not ship with CyanogenMod out of the box.
It's time for another installment of our popular YouTube series "Homescreen Critique" brought to you by Taylor from XDA TV. We have some awesome setups to look at this week so be sure to check out the video!
"This setup uses a live wallpaper called Material Islands. There are several different islands to choose from that change depending on the time of day."
"The problem with the icons here is that they are not in any particular order that I can see."
"This one has an Xposed module installed called xStana that allows you to change the status indicators and the navigation bar."
"While this is not typically my style, I like it. It's clean and organised. The only thing I would change is using a different icon pack."

As we inch closer to the launch day of the Pixel duo, new leaks are flowing in giving us a better picture of what to expect. The Android community expected a set of Nexus devices this year, but in line with Google's renewed focus on hardware, what we are getting instead are the Google Pixel and the Google Pixel XL.
Previous leaks and renders for the device show us devices that look like they have borrowed the front off the HTC One A9. But new pics of what are allegedly the display assembly for the devices show a front design that looks a lot more balanced in terms of top and bottom bezels.
The Sailfish, aka the Google Pixel with device codename S1, bears a display that is 4.99″ in size:
The Marlin, aka the Google Pixel XL with device codename M1, bears a display that is 5.46″ in size:
As is visible, the front bezels on the device are not that bad. The bottom chin looks more balanced with the top, and this should remain the case when the screen is off. When you do have screen on, the display will also include the navigation bar, which can give the illusion that the bezel is larger than it appears.
Reddit user kalasipaee made comparison pics based of this leak to visually show how the device measures up with the latest Nexus:

Keep in mind that these images are based on display assembly of products that are not yet official. While the source in question has been reliable in the past with its leaks of display assemblies of the Moto G4 and the Moto G4 Plus, these are still to be considered with a pinch of salt till the products go official.
The Nexus 6P is a good example of phones that should not be written off till they are officially revealed. We hope Google manages to do the same with regards to the Pixel devices.
What are your thoughts on the Pixel and the Pixel XL based on these images? Let us know in the comments below!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 drama is reaching new proportions ever since Samsung came clean on the defect of the device. Even though the company did the right thing by recalling all devices sold up to that point, along with an inventory clean up of devices unsold, the market is still witnessing the repercussions of the potentially lethal flaw of a device that was destined to be amongst one of the most popular Android devices around.
The first generation Moto E, released in 2014, has received its first builds of CyanogenMod 14. The bug list of the device includes issues with video recording and dual SIM…
