Nova Launcher Prime Min Icon Pack HD Widgets for the clock+weather widget Wallpaper I got just by Googling "Calvin and Hobbes wallpaper". There's multiple images with slight differences between them. Edited the pic in paint.net so that most, if not all the blacks are true blacks (0,0,0 RGB)...

Yes, I use all of those. Keep in mind this is pretty abnormal for my phone. Typically, it would be around 3.5-4 hours of SoT at 40% battery, so you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. From memory, all I was doing was Reddit and some web surfing, with Whatsapp, Gmail and Messenger set to sync...

What's the battery life like on these builds? Right now I'm currently pulling 4.5 hours SoT on average with a MIUI EU weekly, and I think this phone can do better.

My battery life is pretty good. Regardless of whatever I do during the day, I can easily squeeze 4 hours SoT from the phone. My battery depletes the fastest whenever I listen to music while keeping 4G on the entire time as my phone is rarely in deep sleep, and idle battery usage becomes higher...

Does Xposed work with this build?

My point was that since HTC already went with a physical home button at the front which doubles as a fingerprint scanner, they might as well include the other capacitive buttons. Having just one button on the front seems kinda pointless. But I do agree that the fingerprint sensor should be on...

I don't think the design is necessarily a bad thing. It may be emulating Apple, but it's still metal and it will appeal to quite a number of people, if not for the design then for the build quality alone. With that being said, the battery is most likely gonna drag the phone down, unless they can...

Well, my Mi4C had battery drain. Around 3%/hour on idle with WiFi and 4G all off, so when I woke up a third of my battery was already gone. I ended up fixing it by flashing the international ROM but after that, I've been getting 5 hours of SoT which is great. Can't comment on the battery of the...

I had similar problems as you, but not as severe. I ended up fixing it by flashing the weekly International ROM from Xiaomi . eu, which is a ROM that cuts out all the Chinese apps and all the bloat. Now I'm back down to 0.5% battery/hour idle drain. Another way would be to factory reset and try...

Nice! Thanks mate.

The European Mi4c weekly ROM was released today, and according to the website I should flash the ROM using TWRP. I've managed to root and install TWRP on my phone, but what next? There weren't really any clear instructions over there, and I've never done any of this before and so I don't wanna...

Have you tried flashing the latest Mi4c ROM from the European forum? Would you have to reset the phone to flash the ROM? What are the differences between the European ROM vs. the Chinese one? Sorry, so many questions, but I really wanna ditch the Chinese ROM asap. I would link the ROM but...

I feel for you. Seems you guys got shafted with the Mi4c release. In my opinion, Mi4c was what the Nexus 5X should've been in terms of feature:price ratio, although lack of NFC seems to be a deal breaker for many people in North America, given the stink that was raised about the OnePlus Two. I'm...

No worries; you're welcome :) Once I've used the phone for a bit more, I might do a more in-depth review on here or Reddit. And I'm interested in trying out Debloater, but the author stopped updating 5 months ago and I'd prefer a more up-to-date service. That's just me, though. I've also managed...

Not the guy you were asking, but my one was pretty fast after they processed the order using. I bought the 16GB, 2 GB RAM model and used DHL as the shipping agent. Shipping itself took about 3 days to get to Sydney, Australia, but processing was 2 days. When I say processing, I mean the amount...
