So I obtained a bike for free and I ride it 2.5 miles to and from work every day so 5 mile trip daily. Half hour ride per trip is kinda nice. I find myself more alert in the am I'm hoping it will help me drop some weight. Goal is 200lbs. Realize I still have quite a bit of muscle mass so going below that would be difficult as I'm still pretty well built.

Need to upgrade soon... 2nd gen Moto X, Note 4 are 2 I'm interested in. Is there something else i should consider? Iike the G3 as well but, eh idk. Had issues with my G2 and on my 2nd one which is having issues as welI. I'm leaving the next Nexus out of this as I plan to get that eventually regardless.

Moto X.. Near stock Android but the battery life concerns me a little bit.

Note 4.. Big screen doesn't bother me, I actually am OK with it. Although I may run it stock, I wouldn't mind at least root but, Knox.

I don't have a Skyrocket anymore but like others here, probably my favorite group of people among xda, hence me asking for input here. :D

I ran stock with xposed for some tweaks up until about a week ago. Now I bounce betwen Slim and CM11 using MultiBoot. I actually switced because I wanted to dump XPosed to run ART, but there are a few mods that I needed at the same time.

Either way, I'm totally happy with it.

[Off-topic] roughneckboren:
This is my first non Samsung phone since I switched to android. I miss the unlocked bootloader and freedom. 'Merica!
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I'll drink to that. Sense is beautiful and all, but I'm still just so used to Samsung that little things about the One, like the lack of hardware buttons and no removable battery, continue to bug me. If Samsung hadn't started locking bootloaders and generally being a pain for devs, no question I'd have waited for the Note Edge.
[Off-topic] jshamlet:
I did the same thing, and I've been a Samsung "fan" for years. I even kept my old Flight II maintained in case I messed up the GS2.

I finally settled on an HTC One M8 to replace my aging Skyrocket because you can S-off and bootloader unlock right now (even if it does cost $25). I do miss the hardware buttons, and the headphone jack being on the top, though I can't say I really miss TouchWiz much. Were it not for the locked bootloaders with no chance of an unlock, I would have probably gone with an S5 over the M8. I know you can root the S5, but how long will that last? With the S2, restoring root took about 30 seconds and a quick trip into CWM. On an S5, you are always one update away from being permanently screwed. The fact that they locked the GS4 in an OTA update tells me that I can no longer trust Samsung as far as I can throw them, even if they did do it at AT&T's request.

Unfortunately, I doubt there are enough people like me to make a dent in Samsung's attitudes. Even though the GS2 will probably be the last Samsung device I own, I doubt they would care if they knew. They are selling gimped devices by the freighter load, so folks like us aren't even on the radar.
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
Yup. AT&T asked Samsung to make life impossible for devs, and Samsung obliged because the vast majority of people buying them, probably 95-98%, wouldn't know a rooted phone from a rooted tree. Who needs devs to make the phone better when that many people are perfectly happy with stock?
[Off-topic] mindmajick:
I'll never like touchwiz. It's basically a nicely functional OS, like it should be... But it's so damned ugly.

I'm not even a fan of "white" themes, but sense is so much prettier. It's crazy... On the phone i can do anything on (m8) I'm really happy on stock. I converted to GPE and converted back because stock was actually better in every way EXCEPT native battery stats.

--> Sent from my mind to your screen
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I haven't even played with GPE yet. I'm on a Sense-based ROM and I'll almost certainly stay that way. I haven't mentioned the battery life on Sense vs. TW yet, but it feels like I get better bang for the buck on Sense than I ever did on TW, although some of the AOSP ROMs from my Skyrocket and Note II days (Slim especially) felt like they outperformed Sense. It's tough to draw firm lines in the sand when the Note II, M8 and Skyrocket all have different battery sizes, so this is a purely unscientific "feels like" deal, not anything statistics could back up.

Basically, I prefer Sense to AOSP and AOSP to TW. The things that make me miss Samsung are all hardware-related, whereas it really feels like HTC has the software side of things down. This is night and day compared to the version of Sense that shipped with my wife's Aria way back when.

I'd miss you guys too. I really miss nrm5110 and R4INS. Uncle Irish I can do without..kind of
[Off-topic] mindmajick:
All of them AFAIK. Specifically on the nexus 7.

It's the only Rom I know of that uses a custom dpi as default. I know it's easy enough to fix (once I have a file manager installed) but it breaks so many things by default. Chrome tabs vanish .. things like that. I also feel that the dpi is set correctly by the manufacturer of the device.

On the note2 I remember the GEL launcher would lose the last icon from dpi issues. I know they don't care if it scares away users cuz they even had a poll that was ignored which showed the majority of users prefer stock dpi.

So many wonderful things about slim.. Just really hate the dpi.. it's never even a standard dpi .. it's always some weird number.

Edit- for example: stock dpi for the n7 is 320. Slim uses 286.

[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I give up guys. I can't win for losing. A couple weeks back, we notice a drip coming from a toilet. Get a plumber out, and the holes in the tank and base are so hilariously misaligned that there's no way to put new bolts it. It's a wonder the tank didn't crack and did hold water.

So we get the new toilet ($200) installed, and the bolts on a second toilet are in rough shape, so the plumber changes them out. He finds the same BS, glue to cover crooked bolts. It leaks after the plumber installs the new stuff, so we go buy another $200 toilet. It'll probably cost us $300 in plumber costs as well.

Then, on Sunday morning, I plug my portable HDD into my desktop to back it up. 80GB of photographs that I use for my side job (storm photographer) are on that drive, and it gives me an error saying that it needs to format. No effing way, so I plug it back into my laptop, and now the drive's corrupt. Off to the local computer repair shop to attempt to fix it and, worst case, go into data recovery mode. Best-case, $90. Worst-case, $500+.

As I'm driving home from the computer repair place today, I see a piece of metal come out from underneath a semi. The right lane was packed, so my options were rather limited: slam on my brakes, get rear-ended by the ahole tailgating me and probably go over the metal anyway, make a hard left into the median and go into oncoming traffic (65MPH speed limit) to dodge it, or just hit the thing. I chose the third option.

I get onto a side road, go about half a mile from the freeway and park, and as I get out of my car, I notice a long, long trail of gasoline behind my car, with a massive pool forming directly underneath me. So I call 911, and luckily I'd passed the fire department on my way down the side road, so they take all of five minutes to arrive and spray fire extinguishers underneath the car to keep it from flaring up, then begin mopping up the gas. A tow truck came out and took my to the dealership, and they called me a little while ago with the damage:

Gash in the fuel tank, not repairable

Gash in the oil pan, not repairable

Gash in the exhaust pipe (right next to the fuel leak)

Smashed fuel pump

Popped tire (need four tires now since it's AWD)

Heavy damage to the wheel that the tire popped on

Numerous lines cut

Good thing I pay my insurance, huh? The only real positive is that I didn't blow up or burn to death, but otherwise, shoot, I'm ready for this crap to stop. I'm not too far from running out of money at this point.
[Off-topic] jd1639:
Holy crap man. Today was not a good day. Stay positive, there's always tomorrow!
[Off-topic] mindmajick:
They say trouble comes in threes....

Hopefully that's true. Did you already pay someone to do the data recovery?

I could maybe offer a few suggestions/pointers on some basic things you can try if you'd like.

If I lived local to you I'd help replace the toilet too... But dang.. I don't know crap about cars.

Sorry for the bad luck man.
[Off-topic] jshamlet:
Damn, that's some serious suffering right there. I've definitely been there.

However, toilets are actually pretty easy to fix, so if you are even slightly handy, you can save some money on that one. When I was a broke college student, I had to fix the one in my apartment. and it actually turned out to be dead simple. Yeah, I know, but the landlady would have taken forever, and I lived across the street from a hardware store.

Go get a set of replacement bolts and rubber washers. Most places will sell them as a kit. Then, while you are there, if you don't already have them, get a big, long-handled screwdriver and a pair of locking pliers or wrench. Unless the toilet is truly warped beyond repair, you can have that crapper back to rights in no time. If the tank is warped, get a few extra washers (or, if it's new, take it back and get a new one...)

Leaks into the bowl are bit harder, as flapper valves are notorious for getting ever so slightly warped, but doable as well. It took me about three tries on one of mine. It can help to put a couple of drops of food color in the bowl to help find the leak.
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I was on my way back from dropping it off with a local computer repair shop. There's so much valuable data on there, both personally and professionally, that it's not worth accidentally formatting or erasing the drive trying to do it myself.

I figured out the problem with the toilet while trying to replace the bolts. The bolt holes on the tank and bowl didn't line up. I mean, they were literally spaced so much that you couldn't see the bowl's bolt hole if you stared down through the tank's. There's no salvaging that, so in comes the plumber to install the new toilet. A second toilet had the same problem. Just a little bit frustrating.

So a friend of mine came across this app to SIM unlock while he was trying to find a way to unlock his Note. Reading a few reviews and the description, it says it's compatible with the Skyrocket as well with the right kernel (doesn't say which). Anyone willing to try and get it working? Didn't work for me and I'm using the latest CM9 nightly, UCLF6 modem, latest Bad-Ass/Smartass kernel. Not currently in the position to do much testing right now.. I know this is how I was able to unlock with my Captivate, so it completely makes sense.
