Every time someone complains about LTE download speeds I always ask why people would need 50mb/sec downloads on a phone. no one ever says it but in my heart I know it's torrents.

Thanks Ants posted:

on mobile id rather have a solid 10mbit each way from every location than getting 50mbps in perfect conditions and gently caress all if i happen to sit in the wrong place.

LTE has to be 50 Mbit right now because in 5 years time every single phone is going to be on it and then you won't get 50 Mbit

for anyone that had a 3G phone early, remember how good HSDPA was when it first came out and you always got 3.6 Mbit to yourself?

sadly, yes. apple decided that a launcher wasn't something they wanted widgets to do

"world phone" is a bit of a variable term

unlocked iphone ≥5 is for all intents and purposes usable anywhere on earth with a prepaid sim

Apex Launcher decided to randomly throw out uninstallable apps at me for no good reason (some "feeling lucky" bullshit). What's a good launcher alternative? Perferably non-bloated and not with a tonne of pointless bundled apps like this crap.

apex launcher is a third party launcher which would be capable of being installed on a nexus device. he needs to just uninstall it

why isn't there a terminal launcher where you have to use command line prompts to launch any apps

would be more android than an android

installing custom ROMs is ownage if your phone isn't getting support anymore. plus its always nice to have more control of your device.

it voids the warranty but it doesn't make it any less stable in my experience unless you are messing around with things deep in Android.

rooting invalidates your warranty but has no impact on stability. installing xposed or a custom rom can gently caress things up tho

rooting is stupid unless really needed, but anyway if your nexus/whatever hasn't got the "update" yet, you don't have to root it, or install garbage cynagenmod, just download the ota file,, connect it to computer and adb sideload

its quite simple, and much safer than rooting and installing lol cynagenmod
