Hello all!

I now own the exclusive to Xfinity Mobile LG X Charge phone.

For the time I have used it thus far which is just over 12 hours and I have discovered it is missing some essential apps I am very keen on having and am missing which are the basic LG apps Email and Gallery. The Email app worked so good and was so lightweight and simple and just always worked without fuss. The Gallery app is basically the same thing for me. I do not want to use Google Photos and manage my photos. I loved having my picture folders in a nice and simple app.

So now I come here seeking any help or advice on how I could possibly get some stock LG apps to actually work with this new phone. I cannot find any information on this phone anywhere as far as root/custom things.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciative. Thank you.

How do you like it? I should have mine on Monday. I planned on just using the sim card in my S7 for now but after seeing the massive battery, I might just go with it. I don't do anything too intensive.

I'm loving the battery life so far. I've been getting 15+ SoT with light usage, some Pokemon GO and music streaming in there as well.

Some things that are of inconvenience to me personally is I cannot get file transfers to work over USB hooking it up to my computer. I tried downloading LG drivers for it and all that. I just ended up using AirDroid to transfer my files over to it.
It works just fine now. It was either my cousins phone as he has the exact same model or it was his computer not allowing the USB hook-up to work. My phone and computer works just fine hooking it up over USB.

It also doesn't come with some stock apps like Gallery and a stock Email app. I have started using Gmail for all of my emails like Hotmail, etc. and using the app Piktures in place of stock Gallery. It has a built in file manager but I did not find it very useful so I picked up open source Amaze file manager, it plays nice.

The camera isn't too shabby I didn't seem to find a manual mode at all so I tried Open Camera, but it appeared to reduce quality so I scrapped it. I came from a locked unpaid for ATT LG G4 so rip on the amazing camera quality I'm use to.

Final thoughts: Love the great battery life and for a light user like my self it is a solid phone as I don't do anything too intensive.

Also if you miss the app drawer you can download it back from LGs app update center in settings.

I've been using it for a few days now. So far I think it's great. The battery is fantastic. I used it all day long yesterday and it was on 48% by the end of the night. That's a great tip about the app drawer. I've had it for so long now that's awkward not having it. I hope this phone gets a little love from developers. I tried KingRoot but no luck. The camera is the only downside for me. It's definitely lower quality than I'm used to. I'll take the trade off right now. It's nice not making monthly payments on a phone.

Yes I was so use to the app drawer I had to find a way to get it back, it was driving me nuts lol. I hardly use it as much now but I still do every once and awhile. The default UI launcher has every single app on your phone as a shortcut on your homescreen and I wasn't a fan of that.

Yeah I didn't think KingRoot would work, thanks for trying though. This phone will most likely not get root which makes me sad, but the phone feels pretty stock as it is with little to no bloatware, at least with the Xfinity Mobile model. Do you have this or the Cricket model?

I got it for Xfinity. I'm not a huge fan of Comcast, but my Verizon bill was out of control. I went from $180 a month for 10GB to $80. I have unlimited, my wife is per GB because she doesn't use much. I was also paying $30 a month for my S7 Edge. So the difference is really $50 a month. I'll take it.

I agree about root. I doubt anyone will pay attention to this phone. We can hope though. I can follow instructions but find exploits is way over my head.

Yup it is nice especially if you already have service through Comcast.

I tried Debloater to disable apps but it's either Nougat or a security patch that doesn't allow Debloater to work anymore.

Just an update in case anyone cares. This phone is freaking awesome. It's almost 7:00pm and my batter is at 75%. It's plenty fast enough. The only downside to me is the camera. It's not a deal breaker though.

Just curious as to what you think is wrong with the camera? I actually thought the camera was really good compared to my other phones. Moto g4 play and Samsung Galaxy grand prime. This phone seems to take very clear photos and videos.

The camera is a step down from my old LG G4, but the camera is good enough for me. It is still a decent camera.

For lithium630 I guess he is comparing it to the camera on his Samsung S7 which has dual 12MP cameras.

I see, you can't really compare a high end phone to a budget phone. There are probably plenty of differences between the two. Honestly.

I had the Samsung S7 Edge before this one. The pictures were crystal clear. By comparison this one often looks a little out of focus to me and grainy.

The S7 edge is a top of the line phone, you shouldn't compare it to a budget phone. It's like comparing a Lamborghini to a Ford.

I realize that. I was explaining what it was like to make the switch in case anyone was thinking of it. I'm shocked that the camera is the ONLY trade-off for me. I love this phone. I can't imagine paying four times the price for a "top tier" phone again.

The only other downside is that I doubt developers will give it any love. There was no bootloader unlock for the S7 Edge anyway.
