# Jelly

## Jelly 2

Do not confuse with Jelly Star (below).

**Advantages**

* It's really small.
* Android 11.
* Even if you tell people, they might not consider it as a normal smartphone and will except it easier as a exception when phones are normally not allowed.

**Disadvantages**

* Recommended only for experienced loopers (some settings are not recognizable, you have to know from experience with a big Android AAPS phone, how and where what is located. Some AAPS buttons are hard to touch with a lot of feeling, but not with stubby fingers.)
* Can only be used as LooperPhone. It's better to have a normal smartphone in your pocket. 

### Battery life optimization

The Jelly 2 comes with strong optimization features that **must** be disabled for AAPS (and other DIY apps like BYODA, xDrip+, OOP2, Juggluco, etc...).

### Intelligent Assistance and App Blocker

Like with the Jelly 2 (above), the Jelly Star should have 'Intelligent Assistance' disabled for **DIY apps**. Similarly, 'App Blocker' under 'Settings' must also be switched off to avoid disruption with **AAPS**:

### Google Play Protect

Remember to disable Google Play Protect.

### Remote Connection for Weak apk

For certain smart watches, like the Samsung Galaxy, 'Remote Connection' under Samsung Galaxy's Advanced Features must be switched **on** to use the Jelly 2, **Wear.apk** & **AAPS** remotely via wifi.
