Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 and S6 edge may have its latest and greatest Exynos 7420 processor and 3GB of RAM, but thanks to a frustrating memory bug, poor performance has become all too common for most users.

Samsung has promised to address the issue, but we’ve been waiting weeks for a fix. If you have a rooted handset, however, you can now eliminate the problem yourself with this tweak.

A new Xposed module for rooted devices brings Apple’s new Force Touch gesture to Android-powered smartphones and tablets.

Dubbed Force Touch Detector, the mod offers 7 different force gestures, and users can customize each one to perform different actions, such as opening up the app launcher, expanding the notifications pane, or navigation back to previous pages.

Struggling to live without root access on your Galaxy S6 and S6 edge? Well, now you don’t have to.

A new “PingPongRoot” exploit exploit for Samsung’s latest flagships makes rooting super simple — anyone can do it in just a few minutes. What’s more, it won’t trip your Knox counter, so you’ll still be able to take advantage of Samsung’s security features and you won’t invalidate your warranty.

Here’s what you need to do.

A security research firm has uncovered a flaw in Android that allows hackers to steal copies of our fingerprints from the Galaxy S5, and possibly other devices. Samsung says it is already investigating the issue, which will be demonstrated at the RSA security conference this week.

Want to root your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge to access features and capabilities you don’t get out of the box? Think again if you want to use Samsung Pay.

Samsung’s new mobile payments service, which is similar to Apple Pay but isn’t restricted only to NFC, is disabled as soon as you gain root access on your device — and there is no way to get it back once it’s gone.
