      I just got this in the mail from you guys yesterday, liking it so far but i’ve noticed that it seems none of the default apps/launchers can be changed cannot force it in any way I’ve found, a bit disapointing since the default launcher won’t even allow you to change the wallpaper without resetting it on reboot, and the keyboard settings also default on restart other than that i’m enjoying it.

      Factory is making the Android 4.2 rom,and will release soon.

    11. antoniotarantini@me.com

      Wonderfull!! Will release at 2014???

    12. I just received my cx-803ii 2 days ago. I checked the internal storage in Android and found that it has 1GB total internal storage and 5.5 GB of NAND Flash. The question I have is every time I installed a game from Google Play store, it stored the game to the 1GB storage instead of the 5.5GB NAND Flash.

      How do I make it so that every time I download a game/app from the app store, it will store in the 5.5 GB NAND Flash?

      Thanks,
