Gurus in the house, pls am about rooting my m5, hope no side effects? And will it affect upgrade after rooting
Upgrade before you root cos the upgrade will remove the root access then you'll have to root again.

My best apps are Psiphon Handler (for surfing the internet privately and downloading) , Poweramp Pro(music player) , ES file Explorer pro, MX player pro for watching videos, Nova Launcher Prime (to customize your phone look) , Titanium backup Pro(for creating app backups, freezing apps, unistalling any apps in your phone and so on), Lucky Patcher (patching android apps and removing ads), Tubemate for downloading crispy HD videos from Youtube, TV Showtime to follow up on my favourite TV shows, Marshmallow wallpapers, Safe In Cloud Pro for storing all my passwords, 360 security, Musixmatch for displaying lyrics and identifying songs and UC browser for downloading large files. You guys can add up yours so I can steal any interesting one. I'm not a game person so no games for me. I prefer PS or Laptop Games with an actual pad.

I'm also MX for videos, I have Lucky Patcher, Tweakware (in place of Psiphon, although I have it, but the other is more reliable for me).

I use DoubleTwist for music, it's not for everyone though, minimalist interface, with a 5-band equalizer. I tried PowerAmp once, liked it, but settled on this.

SwiftKey keyboard too.

I'm loving how I can change fonts. cool grin

About the tweakware, if I should upgrade to premium, do I need to be paying that N500 monthly or the upgrade is just a one time purchase?

It's actually monthly.

I use the free servers anyway, it's not always so easy to connect however, but once you do, it stays up. It can however disconnect sometimes. You get 1GB bandwidth daily on each server.

Use MTK Engineering to make your 3G permanent. First of all put your network in 2G then open MTK Engineering, click on Android settings and then click on Phone information, then scroll down till you see "set preferred network type" (CHECK the first screenshot below) and select 3G only.

As for the SMS charges, i've fixed it thanks to gabylzy. I was able to locate the two apps sending the messages (check the second screenshot) and I used Titanium backup pro to freeze them but you have to be rooted to do that.

Re: Gionee M5 Discussion Thread[HOT] by proffnico(m): 4:10am On Jan 10, 2016
1. Extract everything inside the zip folder you downloaded.
2. Open sp flash tool
3, select the extracted scatter file in the folder you downloaded
4. Tick only the recovery.
5. Click on download to flash the twrp recovery
6. Immediately, connect your device to your computer via USB cable.
7:The Flashing process would be in progress, and a Green button would appear once the process is completed.
8. load the phone straight to recovery(power+volume up) on first boot after flashing the twrp to avoid vain efforts.
9. After that, go to the recover main menu, and then choose install, and then select the SuperSU Zip file and flash immediately.
10. Enjoyyyyyy#
