I managed to acquire the on-sale $9.99 smartphone we discussed the past few days, hours before the price reverted to $39.00. It's got potential for a nice little media player, experimental hot spot and high speed torrents near friendly neighbors.
I'd like to rip out the cell "activation" notices when it boots up and tame it from downloading apps I never use (Google+ etc) automatically.
The KitKat tablet was tamed lately with minimal effort, but this Lollipop phone wants to be a cellphone too and the Boost mobile network isn't available around here. If there was I'd have blown through my data cap already with the automatic updating.
I know this isn't an Android forum (but you did bring it up and I did buy one) but truth be told I'll swap ROMs in a minute if there's something better and less flaky. I'd go back to KitKat even, no problem.Sadly I don't see any ROMS for this. The best I can currently do is root it (it is) and hope for a nice management app unless you've got a good idea.
Without serious tweaking it isn't worth ten bucks even. I've got it worth $15 so I have momentum you can help build on :-)
