Personalizing your phone

[~KAGE-008]

For those cellphone owners: do you personalize your phone? Or do you like to use it as is?

I've rooted my phone and removed all the bloat, I change the lock screen/ home screen wallpapers all the time. Like just now

I rooted mine, but haven't removed the bloatware it came with. Or I can just do two wipes (data and cache) on CWM recovery, and then install CyanogenMod 11. There's a stable version for my model, which I had to wait for since Broadcom didn't release their drivers until end of February.

Minimum requirements for 4.4.x KitKat are an ARMv7 processor, 340MB of RAM and an OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible GPU. But the developers who did the port for mine made a lot of optimizations to run smoothly on single-core devices (ARMv6 devices were always single-core ones anyways).

I had my new phone for over a year before my wife changed the background image to something besides what came on it.

The ringtone is still the default.

ive implemented a live plasma wallpaper as background, tweaked the layout using a launcher that replaces system icons to more pleasing custom ones. As well as standard apps like cache cleaner, ram booster, bass enhancer etc.

How much processor, memory, and battery does all that take?

I have a cheap TracFone. I picked a wallpaper and ringtone from the limited choices that came preloaded on the phone.

I personalize to the point of changing the wallpaper, ringtones, alerts, and the placement of my apps and such. I'm not sure I'd be able to do much else personalizing unless I researched it.

I really only change the wallpaper.

I set my avatar as its background image, if you want to count that.
