what you think about this? worth the change?
I have the same doubt! I think S4 improvements are in major part software stuff, except for the camera (13Mpx) and the processor, I think that S3 has not much to envy... The question maybe is, can you afford it? At the far end, it's just a phone.
Im planning on changing. The new features are pretty cool. I am a bit of a phone junkie, so I like to bounce around a lot, but it seems to be worth the jump. Plus, it bugs me to have an outdated version of something. I went in and played with the eye movement stuff and although I may not use it all the time, it is pretty amazing, especially for a smart phone.

Hey guys sorry if this an over asked or rather a question that needn't be asked, but how well is the S-Pen's pressure sensitivity / digitizer control supported with custom romz, have flashed numerous on my S2 so not a complete n00b but obviously I'd hate to root my tablet and have no hardware support using sketchpad / Photoshop etc!
Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to going through a lot of the ROM releases a lot look amazing! Hoping RevoltJB will one day get ported as its what I know and love but definitely looking for control over my CPU and step modifiers so whilst I'm at it anyone recommend a handful that offer good performance control (rather than simply stating "better performance")

Gonna say it nice before someone else gets a chance. Wrong forum man, this forum is for development. Questions go in Q&A or general, though some people get upset over questions in general forum also.

Hey guys, I dropped my old smartphone (LG L9) into the toilett and will get money from my insurance company to get a replacement phone. The amout is mentioned in the title. Now my question is, which phone would you take and why? I personally would **** to have the Moto G for its' quite good specs and reviews, although I am a bit concerned taking a Motorola smartphone... just due to their history now. It has pretty much evrrythjng I need. A decend camera (I know, not the best), very good battery life, fm radio, a good screen, which is also not too big and fits in my pocket nicely and also has a lot of support on the custom ROM side. Because as many other here, I tend to suffer from obsessive ROM flashing disorder how about winstupid phones? Are they stkill that bad? Oh and no I dont want to have an iPhone... I currently have the ... lets call it pleasure to use one. Definitly not my type of phone
So feel free to post your suuggestions or move this thread to wherever it belongs
Thanks in advance!

There are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Hello all. I am unsure if this question belongs in this sub-forum. I have been through the QUESTIONS DO NOT BELONG IN GENERAL post, but i think this is not a Q&A.
So the reason i have this question is that im at a standstill. I was set to buy the Nexus 6, but the size and price made me change my decision.
Anyway, now i have rethink and im undecided between the Nexus 5 and the Oneplus one. The main reason im undecided is related to roms and software.
By looking at the N5 sub-forum here in XDA i see thousands of posts when compared to the OPO. I am worried that even though being a bit less heavy spec-wise the N5 might keep more developers working on it then on the OPO. Therefore more roms and software for the future.
Related to hardware i know the opo has better specs. Rounding up the HW differences what makes me undecided between the two is the RAM and the better battery life.
So iam currently stuck between these two phones and ill have to make a decision soon, i will be buying one of these in about two weeks.
Thank you for everyones help.
Best regards
you can go for samsung note 4 it`s so good
personally, between those two, I'd go with the Nexus 5 (just barely) for the exact reason you said: dev support.
Now if it was Nexus 6 and Oneplus One, I'd go Oneplus no question because of the price difference yet great specs on the One.
not matter what ,if i want to buy a new phone ,i will buy the latest
model for certain brand,if the latest model cannot satisfy my needs with their
price or size ,i will go for the latest model of other brand .that is my suggestion,
guessing samsung latest model is good .

The One Plus One is an exceptionally good piece of kit for the price and runs cyanogenmod which is a fantastic OS
Hello everyone and thank you for the replies.
I have decided to go with the One, i have been going through lots of forum posts lately reading from persons who changed from N5 to One, and in the bigger picture most ppl are calling it a good decision and a improvement.
It seems to me that the N5 is really a good phone, and imo its a better looking phone then the One, but following all my readings, the screen and the Ram in the One make a solid improvement over the N5.
Regarding my biggest concern, the software devs, well im just going to have faith in the One community. :angel: The device already runs one of the most popular roms and i have recently found out that the One is a supported phone for the franco kernel.
All in all i think im doing a good decision.
Right now im crazily sourcing funds to buy it, while i wait for my invite...
Choose OnePlus , it's a monster .
I personally like the Stock Interface more than custom UI's .
What made you choose this phone over the better 901F?
options
1 - What is the 901F never heard of it? (blame XDA for not adding section and media for not reporting it)
2 - I only buy the marketed phones.
3 - I am a developer and want to make money from donations so only buy the marketed phones.
4 - I just get what my carrier offers me.
5 - I prefer the S6 spec.
6 - 901F not possible to get where I live, otherwise would get it.
7 - other
I'm just curious... by what metric precisely is it that you're claiming the 901F is "better?"
what's the point of this thread?
I don't find the 901F 'better'.
The point is OP trying to convince himself his phone is better than the s6. Most likely he bought it not too long ago and is frustrated he can't get the s6, hence trying to convince people here that his phone is super awesome and that it deserves a subforum because it's too great to belong to the s5 sub.
PS : XDA people usually don't buy based only on marketing. But nice try.

Not so much frustrated about the S6 but rather lack of recognition by XDA.
But after the announcement of the S6 I am laughing, now I am glad I got this whilst it was the flagship of EE, as in my view the S6 is definitely an inferior phone.
The reason it needs a sub forum is that none of the S5 roms/kernels work on it, thats a clear indicator it shouldnt be lumped in the same section.
By the way you took the time to reply without answering the question? Its as if you think the answer is obvious or something.

If I may ask, why did you make this post? If you want a subforum for your S5, you should post in the S5 forums or contact a moderator. I really don't think this subjective "poll" to verify your phone's superiority was necessary...
If you want to talk about s5, please, go to the s5 forum
If that phone is so great then just keep it bud.
That's the thing

I made the post as I am curious what the mindset is of xda user's what makes them decide what phone to buy. As some phones get real popular, and others people barely buy.

Not sure if you've noticed this but XDA is a site for developers. We add devices based on developer interest, likely development (in upcoming flagships) or actual development (in lesser known devices).
That should answer your question.
Thread closed as the only point of this thread seemed to be to have a good moan (though that's what we British are known for so I guess I shouldn't be surprised)
My note 4 has reached it's end of life for a multitude of reasons, mostly due to being dropped too much. I've very much enjoyed it for the last 2 years.
While I do not wish for this to be another "what's better thread" I know some of you are much better versed with the current smartphones with the best internal components for the money. So far I've come across the pixel XL, HTC 10, and the Mate 9.
Budget isn't a concern, nor is carrier as I'm sure what I'm looking for has multiple radios. I just want to know what to buy and flash so I'm not wasting time reading reviews and looking through development forums.
tl;dr I want another 5.5-6 inch screen phone with the same 4k screen and camera capabilities, as well as the best processor and ram in its class. Aftermarket ROM development is also an important factor. Pixel XL is looking the best so far.
much appreciated

Hi,
I won't delete it, but I will take care of some housekeeping.
Thank you, and thread closed.
