Grandma for 60 Birthday's needs an android phone. :)

How a Grandmother should look like :)

She wants:
  • Good camera (8Mpix at least) to shot grandsons, family or travel events.
  • GPS to find the way when she lost. (always :) )
  • Small phone size (under 5" :( )
  • No touch screen. (which is impossible with the other 3 :) )
We wants to buy one android phone about 100USD for her.

After long search we (me) choose ZTE Blade Super (which is a renamed ZTE Grand Pro )

ZTE Blade Super phone is fast, and acceptable hardware but old firmware and unfortunately NO upgrade! Therefore it is cheap...

Ideal for grandma.  :)

Fortunately I was lucky to buy a used one, in a incredible good condition.

Lets start.

After factory reset, we need some program.


  1. First of all: Lets faster it. Settings - Developer options 
  •  Window animation scale OFF 
  •  Transition anim. OFF
android-developer-options-animations
               * mobilarena.hu forum step by step.
               
               * Download "MT GPS EPO Fix" from Google Play for downloading Epo files.
                  (This is lifesaver when Setting - GPS - EPO files download doesnt work.)
  • Nova Launcher from Google Play - Much faster than stock launcher.
  • Camera FV-5 is better than stock camera.
  • QuickPic from Google Play.  - Much faster than stock Galery
  • Auto Screen On Off (Smart Cover) from Google Play.  This is needed because No HW home button to weak up the phone. (wave above proximity sensore to weak up)
  • Retro Clock Widget to have digital clock.
  • Skype
  • OsmAnd Térképek és navigáció  or MapFactor Navigator / Google Maps / IGO
  • Modify max sound level: apeelme.blogspot csengohang
