Hello everyone!

I currently have a Galaxy S5 on AT&T, rooted and a custom rom. I really enjoy all the stuff you're able to do with root and would like to keep doing it with my next phone. So my next question is what phone on AT&T would be the best if I wanted to root and flash custom roms? Or would I not be able to because of stupid AT&T locked boot loader? Was looking at the S6 edge but not entirely sure yet. Thanks in advance!

I wanted to buy a cheap phone

So i have 2 choices Moto E 2nd Generation And Micromax Canvas A1 (Android One)

I wanted suggestion from all of you which would be better :o

Help please :)
[General Questions and Answers] extrem0:
Moto E 2nd generation definitely.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

I'd get the LG g pad 8.0. Better screen size (same resolution resulting in lower ppi, though). Also comes with micro SD slot.
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
Do you plan on using the camera much? Moto E 2nd Gen doesn't have a camera flash, where the A1 does.

Do you use many apps? Micromax Canvas A1 has a 4GB ROM (which is too small in my books), and the Moto E has 8GB (which these days should be the bare minimum).

Multiple carriers? A1 wins (Dual SIM support)

LTE Bands? Moto E 2015 (LTE version) Wins (bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 17)

Front camera? A1 Wins (2MP vs 0.3MP)

Longer battery life? Moto E (probably) wins (2390mAh, vs 1700mAh)

Can compare at:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6686&idPhone2=6986

Difficult choice if I had to choose one, but I would probably suck up not having a flash/torch (nor a half-decent front camera) and get the Moto E 2015 LTE.

And if it was all about the camera, I would get....an actual camera. :p

[General Questions and Answers] SSVT:
Replacement for use on ATT

Hello, due to work requirements I'm stuck with AT&T but absolutely hate the Samsung S4 I've had to use because it will not work with Cyanogenmod.

So, I'm looking for another phone (not necessarily from AT&T - unlocked is preferred) with falrly simple requirements and would appreciate suggestions.

Must work with CM obviously! I don't use Google apps - at all. (I use fdroid and a few other apps I sideload.) Must be bluetooth capable. (The S4 has BT but everything on the S4 tries to phone home to Samsung. Not interested in supporting that at all.)

Texting, email and very light web browsing. Cheap is good. No, cheap is great! I don't need the latest/greatest (especially since the AT&T service here in Vermont is so lousy.)

Help & thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] jshamlet:
If you like Samsung hardware, but hate their software, consider that the T-mobile versions are typically unlockable and can operate on AT&T networks if they are sim unlocked. Depending on which bands are used in your area, it will either work flawlessly or require some tweaks to the radio.

I almost went with an S5 that route, but opted for the HTC One M8 instead.

Any idea about Redmi 1S?

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

There are many other options availlable from lenovo, xiomi, ....
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
Of that bunch i would suggest the HTC M9. It doesn't use an AMOLED screen from what I see, rather a Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen.

Battery looks good (Li-Po 2840mAh), too bad it's non-removable.

Also, HTC products come with fastboot, which makes things easier (in my experience) than some other OEM's if you intend to go beyond rooting the device.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Well, front camera, and lack of rear camera flash. You are destined to not take a good picture with this device (except maybe in perfect light conditions).

But if you are not using it for the camera (usually have to go mid-high to high end for a good smartphone camera - hence my comment if you want a phone for it's camera, might as well get a camera) then it's a very capable device for the price range.
[General Questions and Answers] batteriesNI:
thanks for the reply!

its out of any phone really. i heard the htc screen is nothing to be desired in comparison to the s6 / note which is a shame..

s6 i have basically ruled out since its non removable battery and no sd card "what?"

iv never had a nexus phone how are those?
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
If removable battery and SD card are a priority, I would stay away from the Nexus as well. The LG G4 (to be announced by the end of the month) sounds like a good option in that regard (and sill a flagship device), although they are putting more bezel on it than the G3 (which seems to be the only complaint about it so far).

If interested in an LG and you can't wait too long, wait until the announcement at least to pick up a G3 on sale. :D
[General Questions and Answers] batteriesNI:
im quite interested in the note 4, its just that burn in issue with the screen... and it seems the note 4 is last to get updates "still no lollipop update in uk"
[General Questions and Answers] Stephenparrigin:
Could somebody suggest a good device on AT&T for somebody who likes to root and flash roms?
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
I like Samsung hardware (and their hardware design, except for what they are doing recently with the S6), just not their software. But Note 4 is classic Samsung, which is a good thing. I have this aversion to very large screens (currently sport a 4" fella), but that is just me.

Just me also, if I was to buy a Note 4 (or at least was given one), I would custom ROM that sucker, which would be a waste, because I don't really believe in custom ROM's out-of-the-box (unless the device - or maybe even it's firmware - is already two plus years out of date). That, and I don't think they ever figured out the S-Pen compatibility for CyanogenMod or other customs.

With the shift to Lollipop 5.1, hope that the Note 4 upgrade takes a little longer so you get 5.1 and not 5.0.x (the version where the memory leak issue was never really fixed). I don't think many 5.0.x devices will see 5.1 anytime soon (big exception being Nexus), but the ones still on KitKat will (more often than not) reap the benefit.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

As mentioned on the last page, AT&T devices have locked bootloaders, which make the process harder. But T-Mo devices, when SIM unlocked, work fine on AT&T. T-Mo devices having unlocked or unlockable bootloaders.

What else are you looking for in the phone? Price range?

Alternatively, you could get a Nexus 6 off Google Play, already SIM unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] Stephenparrigin:
Well my contract with AT&T is almost up and I was gonna upgrade to something newer just because (currently on galaxy s5).
[General Questions and Answers] batteriesNI:
hmmmmm, is the new LG metal framed? when you say i wouldn't like the nexus does it have no sd card slot? and just a non removable battery, or both a no.

most likely im gonna go with the note, i like having the monster screen heh, any tips on avoiding the burn in?
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
The LG G4, not sure if it's metal framed, probably not. It's leather backed for sure, unless you want to get a plastic back for it.

The Nexus has neither MicroSD nor removable battery.

Hardware (and exterior design) wise, the Note 4 is probably your best bet. For burn in, these recommendations may help.

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Nexus 6, Moto X, or HTC M9 I suppose.

All flagships, The M9 is probably the most versatile hardware wise, and the Nexus 6 would probably be the easiest of the bunch to do deep modifications (although, not owning any of these devices, they should all be relatively pretty straightforward).
[General Questions and Answers] jshamlet:
In all seriousness, consider the M8 as well. Right now, the M9 appears to have an issue with the Snapdragon 810 processor, and HTC has throttled it to the point where it isn't significantly faster than the M8. There are a lot of reviewers who feel like the M8 may still be the better device right now.

The M8 has an S-off solution now, and it appears that the M9 will have one soon, which allows you to make the same kinds of mods as a Nexus device.
[General Questions and Answers] Stephenparrigin:
Thanks for the input guys I'll be sure to do some more research before upgrading!
[General Questions and Answers] MaggiesStreak:
I'm thinking of buying a device to use only for online financial transactions, such as banking and investment.

The device should be able to attach to a non-bluetooth printer and stay clean of unwanted data collecting apps. Of course, security is the main priority. But, I have to use Wi-Fi. There's often no LAN connections available.

Which cheap, used device do you suggest for these dedicated activities?
[General Questions and Answers] jshamlet:
If you have a modern printer with built-in WiFi, almost any tablet would do. Newer versions of Android have printer support built in, you just need an enabler from the printer manufacturer. I have an Epson Workforce printer that I can print to directly from my Nexus 7.

Just pick any reasonably priced tablet running KitKat or later and you should be good to go.

Hello

I would love to know your opinion about the new smartphones and those to come.

I have a budget of around € 300.

I thought the OnePlus, but this is already a year old. Also, I had already found the Honor 6 but this is Huawei and I have heard many bad things about it. So I'm looking mainly for lesser known brands with reasonable prices for high-end specs.

Tips for other smartphones welcome. Smartphones where I still have to wait a month may rest assured also in!

Unfortunately my Moto G LTE got slammed in a car door and probably not worth the cost to repair as it needs a new LCD and I fear other components were damaged as well so I am looking for a sub $200 new or used GSM replacement(for use on Straight Talk). I want a device with a decent selection of Lollipop ROMs. It must have at least a 5.5 Inch 720p display with at least 8GB storage and 32GB SD card support. The Amazon Fire phone looks good spec wise but I can't find any reference to CM being ported to the device on Google. Did I miss something?

It's a scam!

I was/am planning to buy a phone from China, but my friends warned me about that. "It should be a scam, an octacore can't be so cheap", they said. What do you think? Is it a scam or a 'must have'? I'm talking about the following phones:

Cubot X9 $150,-

Laime 4.7" $107,-

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It has launched but in India only and with limited supply. To be honest it is not worth the money spent on it. Just check out our forums about the device. It is just a rebranded Chinese device.
[General Questions and Answers] Xplorer4x4:
It has better specs then the Moto G 4G and far more development. What device would you recommend?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Specs at this time to be honest are pointless. We have come to the point that alot of the stuff they put into a phones can't even be fully utilized by the os.

My choice would always be a nexus. The 5 is a great device. I will order my top r.

1. Nexus 5

2. Oppo n3

3. HTC m9

4. Sony z4

Like I said before I will most likely go for the oppo as it has all the specs that are about basic needs for me. Plus the rotating camera is still one of the best innovative parts I have seen in a long time.

Don't let hype sway you. 4k screens are as pointless as benchmark scores. Just make sure what ever device you get that the OEM has a good track record for following the GPL and releasing the full kernel source. This does leave alot of Chinese OEM out which removes alot of devices that only import devices like India.

Hey.

I'm looking to finally get a new phone to replace my i9100. Yep. That's how long I hold on. I only have a few requests:

** Will last for years (as witnessed above)

** Removable and replaceable battery

** GSM (T-Mobo US, but I perfer intl if possible)

** Has a mSD slot

** No bigger than a 5" screen, please?

** Has an (over)active development community here on xda

* Not OLED, if possible?

* Don't care about water resistance

* Doesn't have to be a shiny new just released phone

* I have a budget of $500 or so bucks, but I can go a little higher

What are your suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Cheap 5.5" phones aren't terribly common. The BLU Studio 6.0 LTE is close, but doesn't have 5.0 and might not ever get it. The ZTE ZMAX doesn't have root available. I don't know about the Grand Max+ with root, but it's on 4.4 too.

Perhaps you mistyped the screen size and meant 4.5"? You mention the Fire Phone, and that the Moto G fits your specs requirements, but they have a 4.7" and 4.5" screen, respectively.

If that's the case, a used Galaxy S3 or even a Note 2 would do the trick. The Moto X 2013 can be found new for $200 from time to time, but lacks the SD card slot. Ditto the HTC M7, LG G2, Nexus 5 (or 4 for that matter). All have excellent Lollipop develompent support.

I'm racking my brain, but I can't think of any that fit

every

one of your requirements. There's plenty that come close, but you have to sacrifice at least one requirement. Either removable battery (HTC M8/9, Sony Xperia Z2/Z3), screen size (LG G3), or non-OLED display (Galaxy S4/S5).

Unless there's some obscure Chinese phone that has all these requirements that I'm unaware of, but it likely won't have LTE support in the States.

There is, however the Saygus V2. It has pretty much every desirable feature you can stick on a smartphone. It'll have (nearly) top specs, removable battery, practically LTE band in existence, TWO microSD card slots, 5" screen, it'll dual boot and will be Nexus-like hackable, IPS LCD screen, waterproofness, and $550. Plus dual front-facing speakers, front/rear IOS cameras, and a whole bunch of other stuff. The only problem is the phone isn't available yet.
