[Moto X Q&A] rubiksmoose:
Ok. Here goes my suggestion:

I too came straight from a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon so we should have a similar viewpoint.

I recommend the Moto X because it is clean, blazing fast, and has features that I care about and none that I don't.

I have played with an S4 and the app tray was so clogged with Samsung apps that I felt like vomiting. Not to mention the infection of S-voice as a subpar alternative to Voice actions. That being said the phone felt snappy. The screen did not scream out to me as being so much better than my GNex either (even though I know it is).

I played around with an HTC One for a few minutes and so I'll give you my impressions. The thing that struck me was how much I disliked their custom UI. It was so cluttered and chaotic and ugly. The phone has a great reputation so this is probably the only major downside here.

Moto X has almost no bloat. The few additions Moto and ATT make are largely useful and/or necessary. This thing flies too. No lag at all. I've actually TRIED to get it to lag and can't do it. I can confirm that specs are NOT an issue with this phone. So much better than my GNex. The screen looks beautiful and I would be very hard pressed to tell the difference in pixels from this to an S4, if I even could at all. Coming from a GNex you will be more than satisfied. Battery life is great. I get ~12 hours heavy use with no charging and I love it. Also, this phone feels terrific in the hand. The plastic on the back just feels wonderful and when it sits in your hand you feel as if it is made to sit there. I really hate how the S4 feels both in material and shape.

tl;dr Moto X all the way. If you can't do that at least get an HTC One. I hate the S4.

Oh and the G2 I've never used (few people have) but again I take issue with a lot of their UI choices: FUGLY. Also, I really don't think I would like the controls in the back. Take this with a grain of salt though as I've never so much as seen one in person. Maybe if I used one for a while I would find I like it. But I remain dubious.

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Some other thoughts:

Storage

This is going to have to be a personal choice. Look at your GNex. How much space are you using? How much space do you need? How important is it to you?

Camera

The camera has taken great pictures so far. No complaints at all. Definite improvement from GNex so you should again be satisfied.

Tethering

I don't think it matters what network you are connected to for tethering. It is just rebroadcasting the signal for other devices to connect to. I see no reason why the new upcoming 4G would not be able to do this.

You may have to root in order to tether (I'm not sure any more with Vzw what is going on with this). Root looks like it is going to be available within the next few days so it shouldn't be an issue either way.

Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope I have helped you in your decision.
[Moto X Q&A] alhadee12:
I have the. HTC One and considering the move the Moto X. It says you get 50GB of storage from Google free.
[Moto X Q&A] redsox985:
/u/Rubiksmoose, thanks for the huge, detailed reply. Lots to consider there... The VZW Moto X should be getting root in the coming days, eh? The S4 has it and the One can be s-off'd for $25 or so online. The G2 is a mystery. I went to the nearest VZW place today (a "Premuim Retailer"), since an actual store is a 2-ish hour adventure round trip, via bus. The people there weren't aware of an LG G2 and were hazy on the X, so I flicked around the screen of the One that had been activating since I walked in, then left. Maybe to VZW tomorrow...
[Moto X Q&A] redsox985:
Well, today I ventured to a VZW location and bagged out on work (it was a Friday afternoon! Pssh.) Anyways, I played with the G2, X, S4, and One. The One felt awesome, but seemed to be too much phone for the screen size. The S4 was just way too cluttered for my tastes. Now, that Moto X... The feel is INCREDIBLE. It was very snappy and felt natural in my hand. I really liked the G2 due to the gorgeous display and insanely fast everything. The lady working at the store was a bi*** from step one. I walked in, said I was looking to upgrade, and she immediately said I'd need the account owners permission to upgrade my line (I'm a college sophomore who admittedly looks a year or two less, depending upon how many days ago I shaved :( ), but, due to some bizzare circumstances with the previous account owner's line being transferred to a corporate account, I am now the account owner.

I replied saying that I was the owner, knew the passwork, and the last 4 of the social on the account. Taken aback, she entertained the idea, and saw I had full access to the account.

She asked which phones I was interested in, I gave her the list, she pointed me to them, and then began telling me things like, they all run on the 4G LTE network and that 3 have nicer screens than the Moto X... Then she tried pushing me into the Edge program because I exceed 2GB/month. Yea, $300/year for a phone + data + plan costs... No thanks. I said how I wanted to renew the second line, get the phone, and put it on my line to keep unlimited. She bluntly informed me that was illegal and a violation of my contract... No, the contract I currently operate under is the one from 2+ years ago, this is a-ok. She was having none of this "transfer the device" stuff, so I decided to leave there. I called up customer support, got a very helpful rep who said they could ship out a device and then I could call and have it activated on any line with no issues, F*** that woman at the store. After some consideration and searching about root-ability and whatnot, I actually landed with the G2, at $140, but I'm still holding on to that 2 week period... Thanks to those who replied and helped me out! The X is an awesome phone, and who knows, maybe a 5.2" screen is just too big and I'll wind up with an X. ;)
[Moto X Q&A] ericizzy1:
i had the iphone 5, than gs3, than played for a while with gs4 and htc one, all i can say is that the moto x feels like what the iphone 6 should be
[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
I had the HTC One, sold it and got an S4. Still have the S4 but will never use it again unless something catastrophic happens to my Moto X. The X is hands down the best phone I've ever owned, which says a LOT considering I buy a new phone every few months. Forget about the dual core, this thing runs smoother and faster than both the One and the S4. I have had it for 2 1/2 weeks and have yet to see so much as a stutter, and certainly not any lag. Can't say the same for the S4, and even the One had an occasional hiccup every now and again. 1 hour screen time you say? How about 6 hours screen time with the Moto X? Everything about this phone is amazing. Get it.

Edit: Didn't see your last post. Return the LG and get the Moto X. ;)

After using kernel 3.0 or higher I can't upload pictures to Dropbox.How can I fix that?:(

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
My 16 GB Nook HD+ has about run out of memory, and I notice that it doesn't use the SD Card for anything...which means there's about 30 gbs available for use on whatever.

I was wondering if, outside of a CM 10.1 SD install, there's a way to increase storage capacity via a storage swap (like the SD swaps on the Galaxy phones) or storage Kernel(similar to the Stock SD swap for the Rooted Stock Rom)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, look in my HD/HD+ CWM thread. I have a swap zip for stock. It does not need to be rooted.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
I'm currently rooted, using Carbon Rom. Would that kernel still work?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It is not a kernel change. It is a script that is run at boot time. And I don't know if it will work on Carbon. But since Carbon is based on CM, it might work to use the zip for swapping on CM.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
I ran the script, the "SDSwap for CM 10.1 EMMC" and it didn't work, it gave me an error stating that it couldn't find CM. I ran the NookHD+ SDSwap and it installed without errors, but I still see my internal memory at 12 gbs.

Anything else I could try? Or maybe I flashed it wrong? I flashed it via a CWM Boot SD that I made.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king200:
I ran the script and when I looked at Settings->storage that the internal card stats showed in internal and sdcard. But, when I attached to PC, exactly what i wanted happened. The internal and ExtSdcard are swapped.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
What rom are you running? Are you running rev6 of the swap zip? This version is for official CM only. The title says that and the CM not found message says that.

And that second swap you ran is for stock.

Edit: I see from your post earlier that you are running the Carbon ROM. The zip is designed to abort if not an official CM ROM. Extract the 11extsd2internalsd file from the zip and copy it to a new folder /data/local/userinit.d and set its permissions to execute in all three boxes. (Since you flashed that other zip, there may be a file 11SDswap there. Delete it.) Reboot and see if if it worked. If not, delete the file.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
Yes, Carbon Rom. That same script is what I currently use on my phone, so I'm quite familiar with it. I'll try it now.

Has the script been modified for the Nook, or is it as-is?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It has been modified for the HD/HD+.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
Good news! I've figured out how to make this work, AND with my SDXC FAT32-formatted 64 GB sd card!

Here's what I did:

1 - Extracted the 11extsd2internalsd file from the "SDSWAP for CM 10.2" zip

2 - Copied that over to my 64 GB SD card

3 - Once inside, make sure you're rooted, use a root explorer App (Root Explorer or ES File Manager, ES Explorer)

4 - Paste the file in the System/Etc/init.d folder (in internal memory)

4.5 - Tap & Hold over the file, tap Permissions, and enable all 3 "Execute" options.

5 - Download a script manager app

6 - Install, enter the program, click on "browse as root", and tap OK.

7 - Navigate over to the system/etc/init.d folder

8 - tap on the icons for SU and Boot.

9 - Save

Once you reboot, you'll notice that your internal storage is now your SD Card's storage capacity!

NOTE:

Copy over ALL your internal memory over to your SD Card for this to 100% work. If not, you'll wind up with a bunch of errors.

I've seen that reinstalling the ROM & Gapps over this new one(dirty boot) apparently solves the problem, but I haven't tried that yet.

ONLY for advanced users.

EDIT: Apparently moving the files from MNT/SDcard over to /ExtSDCard doesn't work like it does on the phones...I'l research this further...THere has to be something to move over to the external SDCard prior to the script enable for this to work flawlessly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king200:
The script works. If it is init.d folder, you shouldn't need Smanager. I'm thinking the script might execute earlier in boot process without a script app.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
I tried it with and without. With Smanager, I got in and, of course,it had a bunch of errors. Without Smanager, it wouldn't work as well, since it'd only recognize internal memory as extSDCard AND SdCard and nothing I did would stop the errors.

What I'm trying to figure out is, why? Anything in init.d runs on its own, yet in my case, even before I experimented with script manager, it didnt recognize it.

Now I have another dilemma - What do I move over to the SD Card, and in what file structure, to make this work efficiently?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Did you set the permissions for the script file to execute. And you can just as easily put the script in /data/local/userinit.d. That is automatically loaded by init.d (see the 90 script in init.d). That way you do not need to edit each time you flash an updated ROM.

Edit: But maybe Carbon does not have that 90 script? If it doesn't that would explain why my script did not work.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I went through all 3 available Carbon Roms today and each was worse than the last when it came to this. I noticed that in each rom, (Unnofficial-Custom, Xperia, and Unofficial-Basic) init.d behaves differently - in basic, it accepted the file without problem, whereas in Xperia, the file needed scriptmanager to function. Unofficial Custom however, downright neglected it and kept me in a bootloop, which is where I am now.

I don't think it has anything to do with the rom itself, however. I believe that, for some strange reason, each time I've used my CWM SD card, the HD+ has been using up its resources to the point where the Nook itself won't boot CWM anymore, as if wiping Data, Data/Media, and Cache haven't cleaned up the necessary files to start fresh. That's another topic, though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdefino:
My nexus is running 4.3 stock flashed. I used 1.72 nexus root tool kit to root it and when I try to run SU, i get "there is no SU binary installed and superSU cannot install it"

I tried doing a factory reset and still the same issue.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, rdefino...

Yes... don't use a toolkit. Use fastboot instead. It's much easier, and less prone to error.

Rooting the Nexus 7 is relatively straightforward...

-----------------------------------------------

1). Unlock the bootloader (I assume you've already done this).

2). Fastboot flash a Custom Recovery... with fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-file.img.

- Custom Recoveries available here...

-

TWRP for 'grouper'

-

TWRP for 'tilapia'

or alternatively,

-

CWM versions for both 'grouper' and 'tilapia'

- it's important you get the right version for your device.

3). Boot into that Recovery, and flash

Chainfire's SuperSU root updater

.

4). Reboot, and you're rooted:cool:.

-----------------------------------------------

Takes about 5 minutes:).

Good luck.

Rgrds,

Ged.

I used 1.7.2 and rooted my Nexus7 (4.3) successfully.

Nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 already support 4.3.

Your problem may be due to the toolkit cannot download the needed files to root.

Try to run toolkit again and make sure the updater successfully download all the files needed.

There are some ways to root the Nexus 7. And the toolkit was made to make it easy.

Furthermore, I can root my Nexus7 without flashing custom recovery. This way I can OTA update (if any) without falling back to stock.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Bert336:
Is it possible to get one of you talented fellas to port the MOD from the ATT HTC One? I tried flashing the MOD to use the HTC Logo as a sleep/wake/menu but it bricked my phone (perhaps since we are on 4.2.2?), did a restore and that fixed me back up.

Would be nice to have this on our Verizon version :)

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
It didn't brick just failed to boot probably because of the kernel flash that was for 4.1
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I really want the bulletproof kernel but I am sure our devs can't get it ported until kernel source is released from HTC.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
the only way to get that logo to act as a button is with a custom kernel who the dev built in the option for it..

can't be done on stock rooted stock kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
me too, i PM'ed the guy who makes bulletproof and he said he can't do anything until the source code is released. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
Any idea when source code will be released? I am not a dev by any means, but aren't the manufacturers supposed to release the source since Android is open source?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
Same thing happened with the dna update. It took a few weeks. They will probably release it when 4.3 is out.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
Did you ever try to boot another HTC One kernel that is 4.2.2? Probably might be the first thing I do when I get my phone back.

You might be able to. Find the button map number and then add it to the list and tell it to wake the device when pressed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Wait... You're telling me that the HTC logo on the front has a touch sensor under it? And it's disabled??

Sent from my HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
Sorta. Like on the Rezound. The area between the 4 buttons. The phone registered it as "key 0". Now you can't do anything with "key 0"

But someone with CWM Touch. Go to key test in advanced options and press the HTC logo and see if it registers as anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
This is the first I've heard if this. Why... WHY in the world would they disable it? It could be incredibly useful!

Sent from my HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
It's part of the digitizer.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Touch sensor, digitizer, I don't care. I just wanna know why they would disable it completely and not allow us the option of assigning something to it :)

Sent from my HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PapaSmurf6768:
It's not actually under the HTC logo, it's actually located right above it (practically on the screen). It's not built to be a button, it's a part of the touch screen digitizer that just happens to extend beyond the actual screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Aw. Y'all had me excited for a moment. I thought they meant right under the HTC. :(

Sent from my HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PapaSmurf6768:
It might not be right under the button but the functionality is still there, we just need a custom kernel to use it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
I have used it and it is quite annoying. Honestly, its not worth the extra trouble because the area is so small and is practically on the screen. Most of the time I ended up opening the app drawer. However, roms should include the ability to remap the recents to be one press for menu, hold for recents. That would be 10x more useful than using the htc logo.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
The home button already does recents and menu
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I've always been a bit pissed off at the HTC One for having two buttons..

it' a waste of space.

at least make on screen-buttons if they are going to do this crap.

I honestly hate having two button, and wish that we had the home button in the middle and a dedicated menu button.

much like how it used to be.

HTC makes some changes I just can't stand..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
On screen buttons, I think are a waste of space.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I agree.

I personally wouldn't buy any phone with on screen buttons
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Nor I, just stating how much I wish that htc logo was a menu button :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
The home button should be the menu button, and the HTC logo the home button.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Since ICS though hasn't the menu button been phased out for the multitasking button anyways... I personally like the setup. No loss of functionality and less crap
