CM camera is basically useless due to cropped viewfinder.
for panorama, use google camera, it has excellent stitching.

it also support many types of panorama, fisheye, wide angle etc

What phone u use previously?

Just use stock rom la. It's very good d.
Out of the box can easily get 17 hours unplug with more than 5.5 hour Sot. Consider all day battery life for me.

Other custom rom can get more features. But battery more or less same la. Franco kernel can get more battery life. But I feel abit less smooth.

these are just my opinion. other's may vary

good luck in your sales.

but i dont like those weird wood or bamboo texture la.
i find cruzerlite bugdroid case back pattern more classy and stylish.



just my 2cents. i know many in this thread have weird fetish for bamboo and wood. duno why....

No case is very dangerous. Accidents might happen.
I'm a very careful person but sometimes I slip up too.

Last week I eat on mamak. Talking with people and I put my phone on my lap a short while. I forgot about it and when I stand it fell hard on the floor. It bounce twice at the corners and landed face down about 2 steps away from me.

U cnt imagine the horror and shock I felt. But I pick it up and check. Cnt see any damage. The corners of the case seems unharmed. My screen is safe too cos the case protrudes at the front.

Imagine a oneplus without case and only dbrand skin. The sides confirm scratch and the screen might even crack. Diztronic cases are very well protected too. But I don't like cos too slippery.

Although this phone is cheaper than other flagship. But it's still money. Don't want it to go through unnecessary risk. Any case is better than no case.

Actually touch wiz isn't that bad. Places with most notable delay is the recent app list appearing, and stock gallery that's all. It's silky smooth everywhere else. As for the bloatwares. You can disable more than half of them even without root, with root can freeze all of it. Even without disabling you can get very good battery life.

I always read many negativity about TouchWiz. But it runs really well on the note series. I wonder if those people that complain actually really used it for long term and not based on first impression.

I seen note 1 before. Really really nightmare. If that is your only tw experience I totally understand u. That phone totally sucks. Underpowered cpu pushing 1280*800
No idea about Galaxy s. By the time I bought my first smartphone already Galaxy s2.

But go have a look at note 3 and 4. They are no longer the laggy note 1 experience. U will find it hard to convince a casual user that it's a laggy device. Only place I spot a delay is the short delay in recent app list and the stock tw gallery. Scrolling in fb, chrome and generally everything else is great. I compare my gf note 3 with oneplus. We try to scroll in apps, it's identical in smoothness.

if you listen to chinese songs, ttpod is best http://www.ttpod.com/
not in playstore, need sideload

if you dont listen to chinese songs, poweramp is the best

I use nillkin. So far so good. No scratch.

In bliss pop rom? Is there network speed indicator?

The only xposed module I'm using is for the network speed indicator
So hopefully bliss pop have this feature built in

U set factory reset If many times wrong lock code issit?

Network speed indicator is not cm feature. Exist originally in Omni rom. That's why I ask.

everyone should really use google+ free unlimited backup.
details in this thread i made long ago. all my pictures are backup every night when i charge my phone.

Typical response this kind of post will get

- go buy s5 instead
- touch wiz even on lollipop sucks
- oneplus and cm quarrel won't be getting cm12s anymore
- cm rule is don't ask for eta
- Samsung rich, hire big team so get fast ota
- Samsung cheat, pay Google to get code early so release update faster
- cm is not stock android, apparently it's more different than stock android than tw so takes longer.
- no need wait. Try xxx cm12 port. It's super super stable and daily driver material

All the above are not made up. I actually saw people post before.
In all seriousness. No one knows why. Jz wait lo...

I really wana know whether the network speed indicator available in lollipop or not. Because I have not seen even one screenshot of lollipop rom with the network indicator.

Adobe pdf works fine too

before this he says "not dropping anyone", next day cm inc blog says no updates to indian 1+
while he is posting sweet talk, at the back the company is doing the opposite

what this guy says has no credibility at all.
take it with a pinch of salt.

i'll only believe it when i see it.

I read this in google+ community
I'm not so rom flasher addict so I dun plan to try it. But very curious to see whether it works.

This guys claims that he swith roms without losing his data. Instead of doing factory reset inside twrp before flashing rom, he use his own shortcut way.

Factory reset wipes
System, data (excluding internal storage), cache and dalvic cache.

This guy only wipe
System, cache and dalvic.
Since data parties not wiped, all apps will be kept

So after flash new rom to system partition. He can just reboot. New rom with all apps from old rom. No need waste time to titanium backup restore. This guy claim no problem at all and didn't encounter any issues.

So this is half dirty flash, or half clean flash. Depending on how optimistic u are. Interested users can try

if you're going to exchange, post the imei number.

that way future customer going there to buy can avoid getting that same phone with the signal problem

I wonder if u got the unit that thekaide went to exchange. His one also signal problem. Maybe it's the same phone
