I wouldn't. It's there in developer options for a reason. I believe it's to force apps that don't have it coded natively to render via GPU, so it can cause problems. Any other smoothness gained is the result of project butter/svelte.

No.
In fact don't bother doing that. Most apps won't even benefit from it since devs have to implement a flag allowing things to be rendered by the GPU to begin with. Plus it's known to make shit crash and cause battery drain.
Proper balance of over clocking, under volting and memory management gives you great performance and a reasonable battery drain.

LastPass only prompts me in password fields sometimes. It seems like I need to re login to the app before it pops up while using Chrome. Weak. Is there anyway to fix that without enabling always be logged in? I would hope it prompted me for a PIN entry automatically.

Doesn't look all that bad but I will be mad scrambling to get an aosp rom onto the thing. Hopefully they get a gpe so I can just use that
Similar to the first one it seems.

Not a fan of the UI. Plus it looks an awful lot like TouchWiz does now.
awww yisss
I thought the same thing
Ditto. On a side note of anyone enjoys masochism and wants to stay on Verizon, the One M8 is $99 on contract.

Yep. Shittiest news in a while. Loved using the software keys for the app drawer button. Such a clever thing.

Someone took an iPhone and slapped an Amazon logo on it and is hoping for site hits?
Could be. There's an event on May 13.

Madness. I love my Note II with the Power on the right and Volume on the left. My son's Moto X has both on the right, and it's 10 shades of wrong.
I've noticed this too. Since it's a new feature, I'm hoping it gets better over time.
Still very convenient not having to use passwords I can remember. I just set PIN for LastPass, and if it doesn't trigger on an app, just open LastPass, enter PIN, then go back to app and it should pop up.

Uh most left handed folks like myself use their phones with their right hands.

I've bought a Cubot P6, cheap Chinese smartphone it has Android 4.2.2. Its my first smartphone and I'm still trying to figure it out as the instructions are shit and I cant find anywhere with the info I need.
How in the blue fucking hell do I turn off notification sounds for outgoing messages/texts? I've been in the message settings and the only option it gives me is to turn it all off all together. No toggle for outgoing and incoming.

My Z2 arrived... My early impression is that it seem the quality is a step down from my Z1.
Also I never knew that the black one has purple sides...

I've never owned an Android phone with outgoing message sound. Definitely a customization from that manufacturer. It's not in 'Settings'->'Sounds'? Not the app settings menu, but the phone settings menu.

Nothing there apart from the ability to change the notification sound. Urgh.
No option for it in the message app settings or the phones actual audio settings either.
