I'm using standard set of applications from Google (gmail, hangouts, photo, keep, blogger, googles, youtube, maps, tracks, fit..), music player, weather forecast apps, public transportation; rarely playing some games.
Recovery
To enter recovery mode, shutdown the device, then press volume up+down + power button simultaneously for ~5secs.
The built-in recovery includes EN language, however limited functionality only (apply update.zip). Thanks to yuweng @ xda I was able to port PhilZ' CWM recovery using the EASY MAGIC PHILZ TOUCH INSTALLER to make backup.
ROM
My device came rooted, with VIBEUI v2.0_1448_5.2.1_ST_A936, some CN bloatware loaded (removed using root uninstaller).
Yuminghung shared updated vibueui build 1450 incl. functional scatter file on this link, but is CN version only (no root and gplay).
Scatter for MT6752 is supported e.g. through Sagitar_FlashTool_v5.
Next: look after vanilla lollipop :).
Update 08/2015: Still no lollipop in sight :( - currently running AOSP custom ROM from Xancin.
