installed cyanogenmod on my phone (which is neither officially nor unofficially supported by the mod).
Nice, cyanogenmod is my fav <3
i came to the point where i wanted to break my samsung mega 5.8 off the wall. It was lagging. It became buggy when receiving a call: moving a slider would not accept a call, but just make some vibration. Even if it could accept a call, they won't be able to hear me, and the connection would interrupt in 20 seconds or so.
It became unbearable. I decided i don't need a phone which can't, well, be a phone. I thought all android devices were like that, so i considered buying an iphone or a blackberry. Saw both iphone 6 and blackberries at the stores and wasn't impressed much. Tried new top grade android phones with 4.4 and realized those weren't laggy. Finally, android devices that don't lag, awesome.
I thought it would be nice to just buy a flagship phone with 4.4, spent like two days researching the market and reading reviews and then all of a sudden found out the last week post on a russian pda forum about the cyanogen mod which finally was available for my device. I installed it and it was awesome. No lags, no samsung ****, no google crap, splendid.
But i needed software. Decided to go with amazon app store. Installed it, ran, logged in and... It turned chinese. I spent, like, 15 minutes trying to find the language option in its menus, but failed. Logged in to amazon from my pc and found out that i entered wrong password on the device. Logged in correctly on the phone and interface turned english. Wow, amazon is so original. Nevertheless, i found out that it lacks the programs i need, so i installed google play from a zip archive and lived happily ever after. Well, almost happily. i don't like too small icons and too small font size here and there.
