I agree. Since it's not possible to disable or uninstall Stock Android, the only way to get around it is by downloading another launcher. I tried Evie and didn't like it. I've been using Everything Me, and it's pretty nice, although I'm not thrilled with the desktop layout. Lately, Everything Me has been crashing or freezing. I think that's more related to the wonkiness of the touchscreen on this phone. I have had nothing but problems with this phone. The battery won't hold a charge for more than a couple of hours - and even when I use the battery saver setting, I can't get it to last through the day. The phone randomly shuts itself off and freezes on the MetroPCS start-up screen. Sometimes I have to turn it off and back on three times to get it to boot up at all. The touchscreen is so unresponsive that sometimes I can't open or close any apps. I'm fed up with this phone. I don't want another ZTE phone. I have a Motorola G4 Plus that I was using before we switched to MetroPCS. That phone is a million times better than the ZTE. I chose the ZTE ZMax Pro because of the hard drive capacity and screen size. My SIM card is tied to the IMEI number in the ZTE ZMax Pro phone, so I don't think I can put the card in my old phone.
