Hacking the Boost ZTE Warp phone -I PHONE CLONE
So you want to know how you can get the most out of your new Boost ZTE Warp Phone? I will show you some tips and hacks to get better performance and thousands of themes to make your new ZTE warp one of your favorite smart phones you own.
It used to be that prepaid, no-contract carriers offered weak featurephones cleverly pitched to resemble their more capable smartphone cousins on traditional networks. The market has changed, however, and the Android invasion has spilled over into this uncharted territory. ZTE's $199 Warp is a sign of that shift, offering the full power of Android with enough speed to handle it.
Design
Most of the ZTE Warp's front consists of its 4.3-inch (800x480-pixel-resolution) LCD screen. While nowhere near as bright or high-contrast as the AMOLED or Super LCD displays that grace modern handsets, the Warp's screen pumps out an acceptable amount of light. Colors look vivid enough even if they lack the impact and saturation seen on higher-end devices. Also, the thick bezel surrounding the Warp's display makes it appear small. In addition, the touch screen felt less responsive than I'm used to, perhaps because of the special Gorilla Glass that improves durability.
By default, the Warp's input method is the XT9 virtual keyboard. Its gray keys are wide with enough spacing and they provide light haptic feedback. My fingers flew across it, banging out messages quickly using the suggested text function. You also can select the basic Android keyboard, which is practically identical but with a black background and square keys.
Above the display is a silver earpiece speaker, but the lack of a front-facing camera means that video chat is out of the question. There's also a notification light, something that's becoming a rarity on today's devices. Below the Warp's display sit capacitive buttons for basic Android functions (Home, Menu, Back, and Search). Otherwise, ZTE keeps physical key options to a minimum. On the right side are a Micro-USB port and a dedicated camera button, on the top are a small black power key and a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the left edge has only a volume rocker. I found all keys to be within easy reach and especially liked how the volume bar is scalloped to indicate up and down.
Around the back are the Warp's 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and the main speaker. Removing the textured battery cover, which is thin and unnervingly flexible, reveals the phone's big 1,600mAh battery. ZTE fills the microSD card slot with a 2GB card (expandable to 32GB max) that you can thankfully access without messing with the battery.
