So, it seems quite dead here but I am curious to know if anyone is still enjoying their N9100 non-rooted/rooted?

I am absolutely loving my device, I have had absolutely no hiccups with my hardware/software besides user error.
 
I'm most definitely still enjoying mine. running DSRom with LMT launcher. I play around with mine a lot so that keeps it interesting. Trying new launchers playing games watching videos. looking up different root mods ( thats how i found LMT launcher).

Awesome sauce batman, I absolutely love mine being non-rooted...I really can't think of a logical reason for me to root my device. I am loving Smart Launcher Pro and the rest of the 73 apps.

I don't play games on my device though, anyways...how long have you owned your device?
 
For about 4 & 1/2 months and I'll have to try smart launcher. I had the themer beta but when I switched from cm10 I lost acess to it :(

I've only had mine since 8/18/13, Smart Launcher Pro is a very simplistic, minimalistic, user friendly, resources friendly, and awesome launcher...It's definitely different than the rest.
 
I recommend solo launcher. JB/ICS Look, full customizability, and the best part... Uses close to nothing in RAM which keeps both the launcher and the phone extremely fast. Also to reduce lag, if you are using the stock android keyboard and have vibrate on keypress turned on, turn it off, and we'll make the phone all whole lot faster in the long run, trust me!
 
Oh and BTW love the force... bought it for 20 bucks cause the previous owner rooted it then deleted the phone and contacts apk file and figured the phone was worthless. Best 20 bucks I've spent in a long time.
 
Since I am having such an amazingly awesome experience with my N9100, I forsee myself utilizing it till ZTE releases another for Boost Mobile. I could join multiple different device bandwagons but screw it, the N9100 has been treating me extremely well and I have yet to encounter any hardware/software hiccups.

I never plan on rooting my device since all my apps work flawlessly without the need for rooting. With Smart Launcher Pro/DCikonZ Light/BlueBerry Theme/Device Info Ex LWP, my Android experience is exactly how I want it to be plus I get between 4-7 hours of battery life with moderate-heavy usage.

I refuse to invest in devices that disallow you to physically remove the battery, option for removable sd card, and that is it.

ZTE, I thank you very much!

I really like my Force,But I think it needs JB on it.ICS just seems old and out dated,But I do enjoy my Force.It's my new toy.Especially when I watch movies,concerts and play music on it.
Being rooted just helps me to keep my Force in order,As far as keeping all the crap I don't use off it and cleaning up my phone.
 
I am really enjoying ICS, it's rather stable (for me at least), and just works flawlessly. Why update when you are satisfied with what you got now and nothing is broken, that is how I roll.
 
This is why I just can't part from my N9100 and I have 80 apps (794MB's), I utilize all of them throughout the day/week, and the battery life shown with the attached screenshot.

Idle-Moderate-Heavy usage...

I pretty much hate my Force, but I came from another terrible phone (Prevail) so it isn't too much of a shock as this one is still somewhat of an upgrade. Random crashes, spotty reception that can't decide what type of connection it is going to run at any level of bars, awful cameras. The unreliability is the biggest problem because I can't on knowing whether a call or text was supposed to come through, or trusting it as my only alarm (because of crashing).

I don't play any games on my device at all besides hill climb racing. I've pretty much given up on social media as well. So it is basically email, evernote, and browsing for me.

I really would love to get a nice phone, but Boost is always so far behind it is painful. I just found a Galaxy S4 on ebay that says it is flashed for Boost. At $400 all I'd have to be sure is that it works, as I haven't looked up any information on it yet.
 
Well it seems as if a friend of mine has informed me that she will be purchasing the N5 32GB for me along with 4 more for other people within her network...gulp!

I really have enjoyed everything about the N9100 but I won't ever turn down a free Nexus 5 device, I will be parting from ya'll and I will miss the stability of the N9100.

Believe it or not but I am extremely anxious cause I am not quite sure how stable the N5 will be and the fear of obtaining a lemon.

I will be holding onto my N9100 just in case.

If its the upgrade to the nexus 4 (my current baby) than I would like to see if it is even possible to fail. Vanilla Android and direct updates from Google! Nexus till I die. I keep my old force handy though just in case we get CM10 up or if god forbid something happens to my nexus. I gotta tell you though, no worries, you will never want to look back again.

Will the N5 work on Boost or are you switching carriers?
