Got one of these shits. It's definitely a nice phone, recommend it. Sadly though I got a whole novel I can write to you all about how incredibly ass pounding it was to get this thing rooted and functioning as a way to transfer apps to my android wear watch.
If you get this particular phone be warned, it's locked by the company and in order to root it you have to get a key code from them by registering the phone on their website. I never thought I'd see such a practice. It's a cheap android phone, dime a dozen. Why in the hell did they make it a bitch to root it. I just rooted my mom's phone in five minutes cuz it's just a cheap shitty phone nobody cares about. I understand the much more High profile phones being tough to crack and taking months of reverse engineering but this is retarded.
I was losing my mind today. And I'm a very cool relaxed dude, but I was just going nuts thinking about how I can crack this phone and I did some deep fucking research and apparently that's what this company does, they just give you a code that you have to put in to access the phone's unlocked mode. Such a pain inda ass today.... I fought way too hard to open this phone up to root it. I literally sat here all day learning to do computer code and manually root a phone all day. Step by step, code and line after line, it was like doing major surgery. I sat here and just kept at it and here I stand, the phone is totally mine to exploit in any way I wish. Didn't waste 200 dollars.
Sucks though I have to say. I never thought, and I've struggled with a lot of bullshit but I've rooted all kinds of android shit. Like this tablet I bought, it was rootable but only through specific drivers etc. The other tablet I rooted using some weird program that was the only one that could do it. On and on, it's been a nightmare rooting androids since they all have specific requirements. But yeah, I felt like my younger self again. I used to tinker with gadgets all day to see if I could get them to work properly. Video encoding being the most incredibly difficult one I ever tackled. Fixing a broken playstation 3, been around the world with that. Fixing my phones. In fact that's basically where I've been having way too much focus building and reverse engineering phones and shit. I don't know why but it's been a hell of a journey but I just wanted to help anyone else if they are going to get this phone.
It's cheap, no frills, straight forward but at least as good as the samsung s5 to some extent only it cost a hell of a lot less.
So far so good. With it rooted, I've overclocked it a little, got it going nice and smooth, going to try to clean it up with app killers and stuff that might be bogging it down. Although I don't much care to use the phone for stuff I can easily do on a tablet anyway so whatever...
