Swift key 3 is a must buy, even if it's on sale or regular price!

I have no idea what rooting is. I assumed it was the jailbreak for an Android. I was planning to buy my apps, but didn't know if it was worth it if I had the possibility of getting them free even if they are only a couple dollars.

Thanks for the input guys!

Edit: What apps would you guys recommend for aesthetic purposes (eg. widgetlocker, etc)? I want to make my phone unique, although I don't know where to start. And what launcher would be best to run most widgets (did I word that correctly)?

Just bought the Minimal Miui theme and Widgetlocker. Androids have so much more potential in customizing than iPhones.

Not sure what to put on my other slides...

You need an LTE-specific SIM card.

Charging via computer will usually be slower than a wall or car charger as the amperage output is lower (500mA vs 1000/1500mA)

Definitely don't bother charging via USB, super slow. Wall charge will probably take me 2 hours to get a full charge.

Is anyone else having the process "Android System" eating up a lot of battery life? Mine is second to my screen in terms of battery usage.

Charging through a computer or car stereo USB is almost useless. I've been using it while plugged in and the % will actually drop lol. Plugged into the wall charges wayyy faster

Doubtful. The phone has to have USB3.0 protocols to be able to draw more than the USB2.0 rated power.

I'm not on stock ROM anymore so not sure if you can change the duration but you can change the vibration intensity under Sound I think

IIRC, Google removed that functionality.
