Serious question: my wife wants an upgrade, and I'm torn between just getting her a G2 (free), getting her a Note 2 (also free, and I have a wee bit of experience with the product) or waiting until the HTC One M8 drops to a free upgrade in a couple of months.

I'm also debating whether to spring for a Note 3 (I can also upgrade), wait for the Note 4, get an M8 when the price drops now that Samsung locks everything, or just hang onto the Note 2 for another year. It's not showing its age at all, so I don't feel terribly compelled to run out and spend a bunch of money replacing it. My wife's Skyrocket is misbehaving, though...
[Off-topic] epapsiou:
I was torn between note 3 and g2. Went with g2 as note 3 was rooting nightmare with no aosp rom ( for att version).

I went with g2 and am very happy with it. Easy to root and long battery life with decent rom options.

I played around with friends m7 and found it hard to root. No idea bout m8.

The there is oneplus one
[Off-topic] mindmajick:

[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
*Sigh*

I still can't get anything to flash on my Rocket, either via phone or SD card. I'm beginning to wonder if the only way to do so might be to flash it on my wife's Rocket (which is about to become mine when I give her my old one that works better), then create a backup and move that backup onto mine to restore it. I'm a little bit scared of bricking if I go that route, though.

Might just restore it to 4.1 bone stock, root it through CWM and debloat it. If, of course, I can get SuperSU to flash...crap. I might end up restoring Orthus X (yep, Majick, it was still on Orthus lol), then just wiping data or manually clearing out apps.
[Off-topic] mindmajick:
When I left my skyrocket to the wife that's how I set it up. Just bone stock, debloated.
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I'm downloading 4.1 bone stock now. Put it on 4.0 bone last night. My wife is spoiled from having gone from bone stock to the Sky ROMs, then to Orthus and finally to some 4.3 clone or another. Handing her a phone and saying, "Here, you're stuck on ICS forever but at least it works," might be, um, slightly mean.

G2's are free on att.com this weekend, and I've had success talking stores into matching the online price in the past...

Maybe a one click install will fix it? Used to work for me on the ticket when nothing else did.
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I'm trying a 4.3 version of SlimBean now to see if maybe it's just a 4.4 issue. If not, I'll probably just go 4.1 bone. It's not like she does much other than play games, read email and surf the web with it. 4.1 had great battery life IIRC, so she'd live on that platform if she had to.

Or I could just go get her a damn G2.

Nexus 5
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I'm probably just going to get us both an M8 when the price comes down. Can't justify a $200 phone right now.

I did get my Skyrocket to bone 4.1 stock, rooted and debloated it (thank you, TWRP, for including the option to root in your menu, or I'd be boned) and handed it off to my wife. I'm resigned to there being some sort of hardware failure in my old Rocket that's causing any efforts to flash from an SD card or internal memory, and will instead try to clean up my wife's old Rocket, get it running smoothly again, then experiment with doing a nandroid of the Rocket she has now and restoring that nandroid onto her old one. Brick potential? Definitely, but if it goes down, I'll just drop the bricked Rocket into one of those "sell your cell phone" machines, get my $25 and be done with it. Besides, I've still got a Captivate and a Tilt she could use if all else fails :D

[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I've never irreparably bricked a phone. I've soft-bricked many times while playing around with file-swapping, System Tuner, Tasker, the console, etc. I lost track of how many times I soft-bricked my old Rocket just while trying to goof around with wakelocks.

I've only had one real scare of a soft brick, and that was after doing some file-swapping with an old ROM a long time ago. I was messing around with some system APKs to try and squeak extra battery life out of the ROM, and when I flashed it, the phone wouldn't boot. Wouldn't even show signs of life. Plugging it into Odin didn't seem to accomplish anything, and just as I was giving up hope a minute or so after going into download, the phone magically read. A quick restore to stock later followed by restoring the old Nandroid, and it was like nothing had happened. That was one of the last attempts I made at file-swapping in a non-Majick ROM lol.

Haha such a big mistake. I started with the captivate, then the skyrocket, so I didn't really put much thought into going anywhere else besides the S4.

[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
Driver implementation make or break any device/os this is true on Android or PC lol
[Off-topic] mindmajick:
Very very true. I personally felt on both the skyrocket and the note 2... Samsung left something out of the drivers. MUCH more on the note i THINK.

I KNOW that htc leaves things out of open source (on purpose) to push you to use their roms.. Whether it be GPE or sense. They are much more developer friendly than Samsung though.

Now that i have the nexus tablet i see the light. I'm personally very happy with stock but i HAD to try slim on the device. OMG.. DRIVER SUPPORT!!!

There is still so much to flash on this little tablet just for fun (Ubuntu touch and Firefox os to name a couple). But.. To be honest i don't yet really have the urge to run anything else but stock. I'm sure that'll change eventually but this device truly has the zen feel of an apple product. Of course it's not an ipad thankfully lol!

Whelp, we now own a pair of HTC One M8's. Up until about 10:00 PM Friday night, when I saw the $99 price for an M8, I was convinced that I'd never give up my Note 2.

I mean, I still haven't given it up. It's my backup and tablet now. Just seems odd to think that I've now replaced my Skyrocket's replacement, and this is still the best bunch of guys I've come across for any device, ever.
[Off-topic] xcrazydx:
Lol, I still have the m7.
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
The M8 is a great piece of equipment, btw. Granted, I was only stock for a couple of hours while I read up on how to unlock the bootloader and flash ROMs on it, but the battery life is insane (and you guys know how I am about battery life). I'm losing about 2% every 3 hours while idle...0.66% per hour, I believe, is what that comes out to. When it's idle overnight, data and wifi are set to shut down between 2-6AM. During the eight hours I sleep, it loses 2%, maybe 3%.

Fast and smooth as well, even when running 4.4.3 ROMs on 4.4.2 firmware lol. Glad I took the jump on this one. My Note 2 is now a tablet, replacing my antiquated first-gen iPad. My Skyrocket is now my wife's backup phone, and it's permanently locked into 4.1 stock because of whatever hardware or firmware failure keeps it from flashing off the SD card. Her old Skyrocket and my old Captivate are both headed to MaxBack.com for about $45 once the packaging arrives.

Meanwhile, I'm attempting to convert my old AT&T Tilt, vintage 2009, to an Android 2.3-powered mini-GPS unit. So far, so bad; it's highly unstable and bootloops on everything now, and it's what I would consider to be a "practical brick". It's salvageable, sure, but the links I'd need for the stuff to salvage it are all long-dead. Hence, for all practical purposes, it's a brick. Guess I should've thought of that before flashing it over to Android. I suppose I could flash it back over to Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5, but there's no good offline GPS mapping software for that OS. Android has OSMAnd+, which has thus far been worth every penny of the $7 I spent on it a year or so back.
