Stock Android needs an ultra power saving mode.

The battery saver mode in stock Android only restricts background processes, maybe some processor throttling, and reducing screen brightness.

I miss the ultra power saving modes in Samsung and Sony phones, where everything is shutdown except phone, and a few a basic apps, and maybe one app of your choice. This would theoritically extend the battery life into days....

The "what's new" denoscriptions for Signal in the play store are low-key really funny

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms

Props to the devs for actually writing changelogs in the play store instead of the generic "bug fixes and new features/improvements" or whatever.

Bonus points for being low-key hilarious too!...

Dont buy Meizu if you are a heavy gamer who are fond of playing offline games

Chinese here,sorry for my English.

Just bought 16T(snapdragon855) from an online shop,I can safely say flyme(7 and 8) is one of worst OEM OS at gaming,flyme has a "Game Mode" feature cant recognize most of offline games,even if you root your device and use a kernel adjuster app to set your cpu&gpu to max,it still run small games terribly,it is only optimized for several popular online FPS games like PUGB(i dont play online games sorry if i spell it wrong),for anyone has Meizu with flyme(7 or 8)...
