No other way better than Rooting your phone. After Rooting, install Droidwall ( Android 4.2 and below) or AFwall+ for Android 4.3 and above. Then you have full control on apps that are should be given the privilege to touch your data.

My turn off if it is really true.
No.1 6-inches is damn big.
No. 2 Same chipset used for the previous note series
No 3. People like me would prefer same cpu clock rate running on 64bit architecture.
No 4. Same RAM size which isn't an upgrade
No 5. Though no 4G LTE network in Nigeria. It would attract me if it comes embedded.
No 6. Bigger screen might bring faster discharge ( maybe battery capacity might be 6020mah)
Nothing much sha. Just expressing why I may not buy if there reasons are true

Youngpo413:
Too late...by 2016,there will be only one OS cos iOS and windows are still planning to join the android bandwagon,u can imagine iphones and microsoft lumias running android,blackberry no go see the light of the day.

WTF!!! You must be joking. We should be afraid that Android doesn't die out too quick in favour of iOS.

It is very stupid of me to start using my phone as powerbank to other phones.

Don't mind punks. Use a phone, make research get your facts right. I read that guy talking about ram and ram management. Are you new to Android eco system? Waitin concern Tecno and ram magu magu? They provided you 1GB ram phone to run lollipop. Which magu magu con dey there? Or you expected it to multi task 10 apps without killing it by priority? This is Android and that's how God created it from day one.

If it is in early stage, root your phone. Install "Stubborn Trogan killer" or search for the word "Ghost Push" on Playstore. You will see the app. After installing, scan and heal your phone by granting SuperSU. After everything, Use good anti virus like CM security or avast to scan for apps contaminated by the virus an remove. I will advice you install titanium backup to trace suspicious apps installed as system app. Such as ikeyboard, camera update, system update, pipps, Certificate update, and so many. Free or install them. Inshort, go an flash your phone because seeing these means that virus has gone deep in the phone.

I am receiving 3 to 4phones infected by this virus daily in my office and report says this virus is affecting 600,000 phones daily according CM security

Reediano:


I may still port more though

Nice, involve me. If it is possible, Port ASOP based OS. Focus on Bluetooth and camera. It's a good thing to know you can do this. Keep the good work going

dn 2mawro cos am nt d ownr of d s4 ,buh my fwnd ,when he show up 2mawro i gona paste it here

Hahahahaha. Your friend that bought cloned Galaxy S4 running MT6572 chipset? Hahahaha.

@The one that said Android always lag. Hahahahaha, you want to run 37apps simultaneously shey? No, it depends on each users. No OS is completely lag free. I have an Ipad 2, I experience lag at times. My friend has iphone 4, it lags like hell ( though it is running OS 7.1.2 so it's bigger than the phone but it ran very smooth when it was running OS 6.0). Device are dependent. Try nexus device. You will understand

Reediano:


Are you using pro??

Yes I am using pro. I have reverted to stock. No good rom to live with. The rom was too good. I miss the rom. I hate the stock os cos it is heavy

Two things are involved. You lied or you lost your mind.

Here are the reasons.
Lied: Is either you stole the phone or you bought it fairly used and the Mobile Anti Theft from settings is enabled before selling or stolen from the real owner

Lost your mind: Is either you forgot you enabled the Mobile Anti Theft and forgot the password. Think very well, what password did you use when you played around settings/security/Mobile Anti theft?

chemmerfrank:
well i agree with you on this one..i dont have a reason to basically... If i had a need to root trust me i would have. If it makes ur phone better then by all means root it

Now let me mention just 5 reasons I keep my phone rooted
1. Firewall ( Best way to keep control of your data usage). I know you will want to talk about No root firewall. That's battery killer and frustrating compared to firewall apps that works with root

2. Titanium backup, It has the ability to backup your app and it's current state. You might need this especially if you want to switch to a new device without starting afresh. It allows you to freeze both user apps and system apps. It enables you to convert app from user to system app or system to user app. It has so many features that requires Rooting.

3. Anti theft: Like Cerebus and avast anti theft. These are anti theft app that requires rooting to make itself resistance to hard reset. Meaning, after recovery wipe, these anti theft hide themselves like a virus tracking your device ( though avast for now is disappointing)

4. Xposed framework: Oh my gosh, I can't say about this because it will take full day talking about 2% of its contents. This is one reason many people vowed not to upgrade to lollipop back then. Try Google why people refused to upgrade to lollipop. This isn't about Nigeria thingy

5. Some apps you have in your phone ( I bet on this) requires root access to unleash it's technical functions. Check it out from your phone yourself. Back then during stage fright virus, ROOTING was required to fix/patch it.

Just imagine a general sound equaliser that is so superb which affects both video player, games, all music player etc. I am talking about viber4Android. It's worth having if you love good sound output either via earpiece, USB stick, Bluetooth set or the phone speakers itself.

Warlord3000:



And you " time filled up busy man" had the time to read..... Type on quote.. Load page.. And your little time and mb to quote someone who is "jobless" cos he wrote okay...

That says much about you

Pot calling the Kettle black...


But to spare you the embarrassment... "the OK was a modified version of an earlier quote and since the person I quoted wasn't worth my effort, I decided to just let it go with OK"

So next time you try to make a "hit" online on someone...

Try and reconsider what's underneath it..

Peace out

Is now I understood the reason for your ok. it was actually a mad man that is expected to do as I thought you did. Thank you for clarifying.

Warlord3000:
OK

You wasted your 7uckin time to click reply, then waited to load the page. And then typed two meaningless alphabets and used your power to hit 'reply' in a slow network? Nna you get time sha

oops, I typed the above with my iPhone 4S. I left my driod at home before coming to this alnite prayer. lol. I don't want them to rob my most precious device oo.
To add on iOS, the cydia tweaks are mind blowing shaaa. If not sweeter than tweaks android. I discovered that both os tweaks are inspired by their rivals. I love swipeselect tweak on iOs. and I wish there is app like Activator on Android too. Yet, I still prefer my Android because it is PC replacement. Who said anything iOs doesn't lags. why una dey lie like this ? My iPhone even reboot more than my Android just because I applied some standard functions found in android phones. Everyone please be honest in all you do. defending your phone by telling lies wont add N1 to your pocket. ( just too addicted to swiftkey. see as I dey over make mistake. choiiii)

Lordaweezy:
iPhone users just naming unreasonable things

if not for Google that made android open source

you won't be talking trash like this.....if it had been

exclusive n google places outrageous prices on their

services in which only few could afford then you'll

start saying its secure n stuffs like that


P.S You can quote me anywhere 'android os has 95% of iOS functions"

Lolzz, you actually don't know about both os. it is like this. iOS has like 68% of the functions of android while android has 98 percent function of ios. I have both. Android in general got more functionality than iOS and Windows. Android doesn't lag when it is Nexus ,Google play editions of Samsung, Reputable OEM like jiayu, xiomo and zopo. Many android lags because you have excess freedom and you overload it too much. I laughed when people talk about no good compass app, loss of note taking and other stuffs. Did you even use android before saying that. iClould can never be compared to Google cloud computing. To be honest, iOS is more superb but that doesn't meanbit functions more than Android. There are lots of apps that are over superior than that of iOS counterpart. Both OS kill their opponents in each aspects. As for me, I prefer my Android phone than my iPhone because I can't work with ios without PC.

I am just too addicted to Xplore

Hmmmmmmm. Too impossible to believe

chemmerfrank:
I still find rooting unnecessary.. At the end there is nothing your rooted phone can do that mine cant.

At least nothing important

You got it wrong big time. Your device is 40% not close to a rooted Android phone.

martineverest:
In case u dont know,software optimisation matters alot.ios and windows oses are far more optimised dan android.y do u iphone 6 come with 1gb ram and its still run smoother than android fones of 3gb ram?; do iphone battery last long at lower Amps Hr?;y do windows phone makers still churn out fones with 512mb ram despite been stoppd by android oem?.. A good example is:windows 10 was tested on 9yr old laptop dat came out with window7 xp,only to realise dat windows 10 increased d battery life span by 1hr 30min and was faster dan xp...android wa7 written ön java dats not well optimised,dis av forced samsung to keep increasing dia specs to tackle dis flaws....imagine s6 edge plus specs on iphone 6s

Yeah, I know about that. That's not a flaw. It is simply the nature of the programing language.

Craven:


Read my post and understand its context. I was referring to 'Android devices' not 'Android'. Not all Android devices have the same features and specifications. Definitely, choosing an Android device that has all you are looking for is sometimes a chore, because what one Android phone has in features, another might lack.

And I do know what I am talking about. You on the other hand chose to misunderstand my post. Next time, read and understand first, and then reply. And do not tell me what I can or cannot post. I talked about Lumia and the Windows Phone OS, why can't I talk about Android phones and the Android OS? The hardware is useless without the OS, and the OS is useless without the hardware. Why then can't I discuss the two together?

Just so you know, I didn't complete reading your post. I felt it would be a waste of time to do so. I have no regard for people who begin an argument with '...you don't even know what you are talking about...' Condescending people are irritating and I have no use for them.

Any further mentions from you will be ignored.

You still didn't make any sense.

Craven:

I am a heavy app user and so I have found my Lumia to be annoying most times. And as a result, I plan on moving on to Android very soon, but there are things I worry about with Android. They include the same things I've listed in the previous paragraph; Durability, Battery life, Camera, Data plan utilization. These are some

You don't even know what you are talking about at allllllllllllllllll. Does it means that Android is responsible for camera, durability and battery life? So you think Android means Tecno? Come on guy. Talk with wisdom. Does it means your Lumia is clearer than Samsung S6 edge. Oh, I know what's in your mind. Am comparing S6 with Lumia of last year. Is it not Android too? You seems to be calling device OEM Android itself. Oh oh, what about Gionee M2, THL 5000, Elephone P5000, Vx World 6050, Infinix hot note. Can you compare their battery life with Lumia on heavy usage? Are they not Android? It is wrong to compare such. Before Lumia came in, Android already had that feature of restricting data from background sync. If you wanna talk about data usage, what will you say about Infinix hot that has ability to have full control over your data usage. Is It not Android? Leave the phone makers and talk about Android Os. Not the phone hardware jorrr

walexy30:
I once saw a DP on BBM & it read ; IPhone is for Rich people, Android is for Every person on the street, Windows phone is for the Educated & classy. Its just choice , if everything was the same we would not appreciate diversity

Windows phone is foe the educated and professionals. Imagine a forex trader like me can't get pivot point calculator on android phone. But with my WP, i have it at my disposal without data usage after installation.

Lazy boy. If windows have it believe it, Android has it more with choices and better ones.

I hope you understood the DP about the classification. Android is for every person. Meaning for the Rich, you and the professionals. You will see an android phone more expensive than iphone, you will see Android phone more cheaper than Lumia. Android as a word is a robotic machine that mimic anything it sees. I can make my android phone look and work like your Lumia. All these guys talking here and there about droid being weak are just trying to please what they have. Come let me show you the way. You talk about batteries on Lumia. How many processes are on with the OS? Oh about data? You found yourself too lazy to sacrifice the same time you use to explore your Lumia to conserve data on Android? That's a big sin too.

@ the S4 user. Touchwiz is a pile of shyt. Throw Samsung Touchwiz to your toilet or pull out the silly OS and install Cynogenmod to experience Android. Or go buy another phone outside Samsung.

To the person who talked about buying Infinix or Tecno. Does it means that Android = Tecno/Infinix?

Sometimes I wonder too. I still have my 7uck'd up Lumia dual sim phone. It really amuse me when people say Android lags. Yes Android lags when it is Samsung Touchwiz, Android also lags when it is sub standard mediatek or spectrum chip Android phone. Go get your a$$ a better device outside stupid Samsung and cheap mediatek phones.

And again, saying you are ditching Android in favour of Windows and you call yourself tech geek is one sick joke. I know people are pissed up that every hand is Android. Yes, I am supposed to be among but the fact is that Android just work too smart and far better. So we have no choice but join the train because it serves us all according to our needed fully well. iOS and BBOS10 is far better than Windows. In short, Iphone is less locked than Windows.

If I take time to write out an article and someone is lazy to go read it only to say "you are a fool". He is surely foolish. I hold my intellectual property right.

Actually, it pisses one up to find out there was nothing to read about. Is just link. It is not worth taking readers extra miles and time when you are marketing telegram. What's wrong to use copy and paste technology? Rather than dropping additional address that will pull us out from our choice of website?

Thanks for calling me a fool, atleast the world will know the real fool

The real world knows that you did something foolish. The world might choose you to be the fool here. But ain't calling you a fool. Just giving you tips

Omor, this is miracle.

EMERITUS85:
have been a fan of tecno since their birth until i discovered that tecno is a scam yes i said it tecno is a scam.

to make the story short i bought a tecno flagship phone the almighty phantom z last year and believe me the phone is superb with a good display but considering the price i bought it 59k it supposed to worth it. fast forward to 2015 the phone still remains a flagship tecno phone because no other tecno beats it's spec but how can such a flagship phone still runs kitkat even when lollipop is now rampant on Chinese brands like infinix gionee etc. considering the amount i bought the phone i think I deserve a lollipop update instead of making customers money valuable to them they are busy producing scrap in the name of phone while their media paid hypers will hype the Useless scrap to the extent of comparing c8 to iPhone (abomination)
well in the end i have to sell my over priced phantom z which i bought 59k not less than 1 year as low as 29k and right now am a proud user of infinix hot note pro updated from 4.4 to 5.1 (that's value of money)

please don't tell me that tecno is cheap thus update are not necessary because infinix gionee are also more cheaper but are churning out updates for their customers that's what I call value of money.


if you want to buy a phone with sure ota update go for

gionee (best when it comes to Ota)

infinix(happy they kept their promise)

First of all, you don't know what you are saying. Go and check if there is any phone using the same stupid mediatek chipset Tecno used in building the wack phone. Yes, I know Tecno doesn't care about updates and their customers. I have barley witness any Tecno phone pushing ota update to fix bugs. Gionee does, Infinix does. That phone you called superb is one stupid phone I have seen. Even Tecno H6 seems better to me. It lags like hell. Maybe I put it blame on MT6592T cos I have never seen a phone using that chipset that runs smoothly. THL 5000 an CubeTalk is another example. These devices lags like hell cos they are same chipset Tecno Phantom Z uses.

Secondly, blame mediatek for lollipop update.

It's been rough these days accessing showbox with simple server. But using normal data makes it work smoothly. I had to dump it. I moved to cartoon HD, downloaded twice with it and started misbehaving using simple server. I dumped it again. Let me try playbox

I don't actually give a 7uck about data. My firewall app is there to silent every 7uck'd up app that wants to smoke my data. Beside I don't care about data exploitation. I always subscribe to all kinds of data plan. But what drain data most is silly instagram and other browsers outside opera mini and ucweb mini. The rest are just PC

Hehehehe, see them. Complaining about Ui and lack of file manager? Una never see Google nexus before? Even Google play edition of phones are exactly like Android One..
This is how Google devices look like. You make the choice of file manager, music app or any other missing apps that we find in other devices not running pure Android. That's why you have Playstore.

This Rom seems to be the best among all available roms here and there. Reason is that it has lesser bugs than others but the camera ain't clear. Got some purple colour in it. Beside, the Bluetooth isn't stable. It sends and receive this hour, the next hour it becomes adamant

I will not visit your blog.
