Not really I'm afraid.... too many kernel issues on boot and I don't have the skills to fix them.

We need a bunch of devs like the moto x play guys but I don't think it's going to happen. I'll keep plugging away but dont hold your breath :(

How's the touch screen on this phone? Is it responsive and very accurate?
[General Questions and Answers] Andrei221:
Yes, it is responsive. [MENTION=4368441]lonespeaker[/MENTION] - thanks for you answer mate :( i'm sad that you can't do it now but maybe in the future we will have some roms

Gutted, but thanks for the update. The lack of bluetooth AVRCP in stock android was just one reason why a CM build for this phone would have been epic. Wish I could help but I can only do .NET!

Not to brag but things are great over in the X Play forum. Love the phone its same sized screen as the ultra 6 but still smaller. Running CM12 on it now as a daily. Few kinks to work out but its really good.
[General Questions and Answers] lonespeaker:
Yeah I've been looking at the progress made on github and it's great how quickly just a few people can make in a short time. I'm thinking of putting on cm12 on my oneplus two.. however part of me still wants to get cm working on the SU6, its bugging me :(
[General Questions and Answers] LUNARIO:
not sure its relevant but are you using the blade 6 plus kernel ? there is the su6 one on zte servers . I have posted the link on modaco
[General Questions and Answers] Dedzdedz:
I am hopefull we will get cm 12, this is such a good device, maybe some ROMs from zte could be ported, or convert our phones into a zte. I have heard some people did it in the past.

does anyone know if vodafone swaps your phone if it has 1 dead pixel?
[General Questions and Answers] corsav6:
Vodafone IRL swapped an su6 with 1 dead pixel for a member on an Irish forum, so I'd give it a try.
[General Questions and Answers] movitum:
thanks i guess i'll have to go to the store this week then. tried those pixel fixer apps but it didn't do squat as i expected
[General Questions and Answers] corsav6:
I have yet to see 1 of those apps actually work. Does your screen have backlight bleed? A few people have had issues with backlight bleed and dead pixels, I seem to be lucky as my device is working flawlessly so far.
[General Questions and Answers] movitum:
maybe the tiniest bit of backlight bleed, definitely not enough to make me want to swap the phone as the dead pixel does. the only other problem i had was the blue flashes on youtube but it only happened once
[General Questions and Answers] Blackwatch:
Thanks for the info :)
[General Questions and Answers] corsav6:
Sometimes on sites with lots of adverts if I scroll fast I can see graphical glitches, like black boxes where the adverts should be. I only use chrome so may be a browser issue and it only happens if I scroll super fast.

I don't really use youtube, and when I do its normally for music which I stream to BT speakers so it could glitch all day long and I wouldn't notice.
[General Questions and Answers] movitum:
i actually found the exact problem i had on boards.ie https://youtu.be/UtmXOZyPY6k?t=39 although the guy claims it happens with the camera and facebook videos, which didnt happen to me. exactly the same blue flashes though. anyways, i'm swapping my phone tomorrow.
[General Questions and Answers] Blackwatch:
I have to say for under £100 this is a great phone. My first droid phone was the old Orange San Francisco, it seems ZTE have come on strong as well.

[General Questions and Answers] corsav6:
Yes boards.ie, that's exactly where I noticed it. On boards mobile site the ads are placed between every few posts and are the same size as the post too. What made me notice was the ads wouldn't just go black, but also glitchy, stutter may be a better description.

So boards.ie, chrome and our su6 are a bad combo :)

[General Questions and Answers] Kenneth131:
I have experienced the blue flashing as well, its a kernal issue wouldn't worry about it as an exchange wont fix it as its not hardware related. It used to happen years ago when messing with the kernals for custom ROMs but its become much less of an issue. If it happens restart the phone and you should be fine for a while. Zte really need to update the device to fix it but I doubt vodafone are pushing them to get updates out for a £100 phone. They will cover security issues and that will be about it. I am surprised at how good the phone is for the price givent its sold in the uk
[General Questions and Answers] hsahin4:
I have bought this phone for my wife - also I checked deeply :) (Vodafone Turkey TR)

* some lags and latency,

* Huge battery drain, it does not seems have 3000 Mah battery :)

* Touch screen responsiveness, must be better - I think, root cause is software based.

* I have no found any bug(s). Everything works well.

* Snapdragon 615 octa-core and Andreno 405 should be better than Snapdragon 410 and Andreno 306. But just same.

I think root cause is software based. It should get firmware update with 5.1.1
[General Questions and Answers] LiNe1771:
Lags? Nothing here.

Battery drain? No..

Touch screen its good.

And 615 ia better than 400..

it should be same with Turkey.

How many hours do you use your phone with screen open?

And what are doing with it like social networks or gaming or surfing?

And you said that there is no lag, latency and something else. Did you use high-end phones like LG G2 or Galaxy S5?

I always think about responsiveness like high-end phone. Cause this is not so cheap, around 300 $.
[General Questions and Answers] Dedzdedz:
Before i buy this phone i had an LG G2, and as our mate said, this phone as no lag, maybe the occasional hiccup, but that's it...

The LG should be faster, it has a Quad-core 2.26 GHz processor vs the Su6 Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53. Being octa-core doesn't mean that it's faster than a quad-core. The LG has more processing power.
[General Questions and Answers] movitum:
there are definitely constant mini lags displaying lollipop's animations, i compared to a motog that has much worse performance than this, but is much smoother. still this is much better value
[General Questions and Answers] corsav6:
If you perform an antutu benchmark and look at your runtime score you can see its way lower than most other devices.

Other devices score in the 1000's, the su6 is in the low 100's. Even devices with the same processor on the same Android version outperform the su6 on runtime by a long way.

I can't find any info on this and I have asked in a few places.

(Removed the link as I'm new.)

Did they swap your phone? I'm getting the blue flashes too. Overall after using this phone for months, I have to say that my su6's software is very buggy, as pointed out by the runtime scores in antutu. Are any of you getting smooth animations? My one constantly stutters in animations, especially in chrome, scrolling in gmail and when powering the phone off, the circle animation. Also the blue buttons sometimes flashes off for 0.5 sec then back on. I feel like the smart prime 6 is much smoother than our phone. Am I the only one getting these issues? I'm not rooted. (BTW it's still an excellent phone, the screen is awesome)

if you have at least temporary root from kingroot you can use flashify to install twrp, and after that you can safely uninstall kingroot and flash supersu on twrp.
