Is there any rumours of any new phones coming out this summer, especially any ~6" ones obviously running cyanogen os.

If not is oneplusone still the best one to try out, I believe it gets all the updates first?

Want to give the platform a try before hp elite x3 out towards the end of the year.
 
I did, find out if I still do.

View ranger and bank app mainly.

Still dislike the Ui, mainly how widgets don't fit neatly together and all look different.
 
There's massive gaps between them and they seem to have minimum sizes if I try to make the box smaller it just resets.

Ma arrow launcher improves the general Ui, but not widgets. Worst one is rain alarm widget it terrible.
 
The apps are fine, just the widgets suck, maybe I can find better third party ones/alternatives for some. It's why I like wp, the live tiles fit neatly and same design language.

Best app so far is lastpass the integration is great.
 
2 bits I have all my calander on an outlook account how do I add such an account.

if I go to settings > accounts > outlook I have it listed there but only an option for sync contacts.

it also has a sync error

and i'm getting notifications but how do I get a number by the app icon, like missed phone call, messages, whats app etc.
 
Unfortunately not as it doesn't have the function, all the copies only have widgets for the most basic features like time.

Better off with android widgets anyway....

the perfect solution, would be if android forced a certain design language on developers, so everything looks nice together, every design comes from the same book. but allow them to include as many non standard ones as well.

rather than a miss mash as every app developer likes the look of something totally different and thus it makes it impossible to get a widget page looking nice unless you only have extremely basic widgets.

They have Material Design which the majority of developers use. It is consistent.

this just isn't true at all, this does not cover the looks and widgets etc.

Create a visual language that synthesizes classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science.
Develop a single underlying system that allows for a unified experience across platforms and device sizes. Mobile precepts are fundamental, but touch, voice, mouse, and keyboard are all first-class input methods.

which is not what I'm talking about.

load up 5 widgets from 5 different apps, they aren't even remotely similar, they look massively disjoint and in no way follow the same design principles.

what you are talking about is under the hood stuff.

however apart from that, I'm actually getting on surprisingly well. Compared to the xaomi which was rubbish and arrow makes it much better, although a few things I wish they would change.
 
as I said install 5 widgets and tell me they looks the same and fit nicely together.
I mean fitbit is bold colours and round,
audible is a big chunky black rectangle etc.

how you can even say that with a straight face.

again notice I'm saying widgets, not app, not menus etc.
