I went with Novalaucher

Trying to change the DPI, forgot how annoying install ADB drivers was!! Nothing shows up in List of attached devices!

I thought you wanted the vanilla android experience ? That would be the Google Now launcher

Yeah but I had bought the Nova one previously so has a lot of feature

Had to return mine though as it had a missing pixel

Got mine today too. Chuffed with it. Great value for money.

Any idea when were getting android 6?

Also, whats the best way we can push everything to an SD card?

I've just installed Nova Prime launcher on 2 devices including this phone .It does appear to be faster and smoother than both the standard launcher and the Google Now launcher and of course is more customisable

hartgeh3 · 7 Feb 2016 at 19:09

I have/had Nova on all my devices cant beat it IMO

Camalot · 7 Feb 2016 at 19:36

I also use nova now, brilliant!

really considerig getting this phone it seems amazing for the price. But i heard the camera isn't great? how is it really? also how's the front facing camera? can't find anything about that

Would it at least be an upgrade from my nexus 4?

For the money - definitely, the cameras not bad at all, my G2 was away for repair so i bought the ultra smart 6 as a stop gap, ended up leaving the G2 in it's box after it was fixed and using the ultra smart 6 until i bought the G4 for £225 from Vodafone!!

Odd that I've never seen more than about 3 hours screen time on a charge but I've had 3 1/2 days between charges

I've never got anything like 6 hours with 20% left.

I get 5 hours out of a full charge

I couldnt believe my eyes either.

My battery graph totally flat lines when I'm not using my phone. I guess that must be the "doze' feature kicking in when the screen is off.

koooowweeee · 16 Feb 2016 at 12:01

My battery hardly goes down when the screen is off. 2/3% over night.

Suppose it depends on what your actually doing on your phone.

Some games murder you battery

This phone does not have Doze as that is an option reserved for Android 6.0.

But it does have a low battery saving feature that kicks in at 15%

Had this phone for like a week now, sooo impressed with it, can't believe it was so cheap haha! Need to root this beast.
