Hi everyone!

I just stumbled on Joe's videos a week ago and I've been trying to build my first farm!

Right now I have an LG Lucky and 2 Moto E that I purchased on eBay.
I'm on a tight budget, so I've been trying to find better cheaper phones.

I purchased 2 LG Sunrise from Target.com with a gift card, but took them back after 2 days of problems with them.

I have all of the phone on CheckPoints so that the videos can run during the day while I'm at work.

My question, and need for help, is the combination of cheap phones and CheckPoints. Is there an app that runs better on cheaper phones or am I ok to stay with CP? I try to clean the cache every day, just started Christmas Eve, and I've only found problems a few times on the Lucky and Moto Es. My plan is to use these cheaper phones to help me upgrade via gift cards.

I'm sorry for such a long post, but I just need expert advice since I am so limited right now!

Thanks in advance!
Barbara

I think CheckPoints is your best bet on cheaper devices for the time being since you don't have many devices.
You could also start Perk easily on those Moto Es, as those are what my Moto Es are for. Did you buy 5.0 Moto Es or 4.4 ones?

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the reply! Thd first 2 Motos are 4.4 and my last purchase was a 5.0.
I tried to root one of the 4.4s today using KingRoot, but it won't seem to finish the process. The farthest it has gotten is 50% and that's only after running Purify. Any suggestions?
