So exciting!

Thanks for the device!Early observations/review:1) No official factory bootloader unlock means I won't be doing any development on this device until this changes. I know you're working on this, but just an honest heads-up. On principle, I refuse to play cat-and-mouse games with unofficial non-OEM-supported unlock methods. I haven't done an unofficial unlock since the Windows Mobile days and will not do so in the future.2) Clean Master in the stock firmware lost ASUS a LOT of points with me. Yeah I was able to force-disable it, but I shouldn't have to force-disable this garbage in the first place.3) The "battery draining apps" function is broken, and triggers when background activity is detected when the phone is charging. For example, SmugMug ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...wood.smugfolio ) will background-download photos when on wifi and charging. This causes the device to flag it as a "battery-draining app" even though it's hard to drain the battery when the device is connected to a charger... There's no way I've found to tell the device to ignore SmugMug without completely disabling this function4) Hardware keys without backlight was a really, really, REALLY bad idea.Other than that it's a pretty neat device. If an official unlock becomes available, it'll likely be Omni's pilot device for multisim support and Intel support.Yeah, even a partially working reference with limitations (see Sony AOSP) is a great time-saver. Other OEMs should take Sony's AOSP project as an inspiration of how to collaborate with the community.
