Bugs: https://youtu.be/QHvGJkyblfo
1. Third party apps cannot write to the external sdcard
*The default apps can write to external sdcard*
2. default launcher pops up after every reboot
3. after unplugging the headphones the ringer volume is turned low
4. The mx player when headphones plugged in and volume increased above 10% it quits the app.
5. All four cores are running continuously which drains the battery slightly faster but the phone still can manage to give a backup of 1 days on moderate-heavy usage and 1.5 days on low-moderate usage
6. No multiuser support
7. Estimated charging time not displayed on the lockscreen
8. One more bug which I noticed recently is that some facebook videos won't run.
