That's new to me

What's bundled?

everything is a botnet now, why even try to escape ?

Because you have something to hide

Cortana, Skype

OneNote

So two things to remove and one thing I have to install anyway

Not too bad

They aren't installed like apps

they're in the Cyanogenmod MOD section

part of the OS

redmeme only had CM13 so it doesn't have all this

fuck it, im gonna jump into a botnet voluntarily

a chinese one

MIUI is horrible though

Not because it's chink

It's just unusable

^

there's no reason to use it

if there's a half-decent alternative

xiaomi are more concerned with patching in more emojis than working on updating android

i was watching reviews from a leeco le1 x600 phone, it seems like a more stock android experience

same with lenovo k3 that is why I was considering it

lenovo k3 is not stock android

when I turned on my lenovo k3 and ran a virus scan it had 20 results

why do you have such an objection to rooting your phone and flashing a good rom?

mmm I feel like I dont really need to root my phone anymore

and when I install a custom ROM they always have minor glitches. Dont get me wrong they are great, im using a slim ROM by now on a Moto G as an example, but still they have minor glitches

so does stock android, what's your point? MIUI has more than minor glitches

I never had a problem with stock 4.4.4 android on my moto G. Never had an auto reset phone, or an app no starting no matter what.
Im on a slim rom and I cant start a whatsapp call as an example, no matter if I reset phone or not.

Only reason to be using slimrom is I was never able to disable OTA message on stock rom. Not even with an extra package

and phone get slow quickly with lollipop

answer

buy a better phone

that's a problem with whatsapp or your ROM, I use CM13.1 and never had an issue with whatsapp

you sound like a little kid, "the solution to my problems is getting a cheapo chink phone with a modified chink rom and hoping it works!" no one here does that, they immediately flash something that doesn't have a Bejeweled clone you can't uninstall by default with hidden malware in it

e.g. the Lenovo experience

I sound like a kid ? dude, if the problem is the rom with any chink phone then you can just look around on xda

maybe he means me]
