Better Flash Walkman and Install Viper  Loaded already with SuperSu... No headache of Having Rooting thing. No lag while charging... Or in simple use! But very bit heating that it can be ignored but why should we...as AICP, Euphoria don't heat  In beginning, it took 45 minutes to restore 70+ apps from Titanium Backup... But later it worked well ✔ SELinux Status is Already PERMISSIVE, so no use of SELinux Mode Change App. On AOSP keyboard Gesture typing isn't working *_* I use G-Keyboard btw. All 5.1.1 Based ROMs have extra features.... But In extra features no one can beat Cyanide L ROM, Remix, AICP etc. Charging is Good... It is normal! I.e. fast! The 2g/3g problem isn't here! Mobile data works fine! No need to use those codes n blah blah!! Carbon Rom lollipop

How to send pics and videos from Android phone to iPhone?

I am not able to receive picture or videos sent from Android phone in my iPhone. So I found some apps using which we can transfer files between Android and iOS system Apps to share files between Android and iPhone: WhatsApp - Sounds crazy but works great if you have unlimited Internet connectivity. Shareit app - Popular app for sharing files. This app transfer files faster than bluetooth connection. Xender app - Files, pictures, music, videos, even apps can be shared. Has group sharing feature. Zapya - Cross-platform sharing for Android, iOS devices, WP & PC. How to use: You need to install above mentioned app in both Android and iPhone. Instruction will differ for each app. I think except WhatsApp all the app uses wi-fi direct. Not sure but you don't need Internet to transfer files while using apps other than WhatsApp.
