[Advice] Best upcoming/present VZ phone for rooting, romming? - General Questions and Answers

currently on an aging GNEX toro, been watching the upcoming androids, looking to move on to a more current phone. can anybody advise me? i abhor VZ bloatware, and i like customizing. have enjoyed crackflashing my GNEX since i got it.
S4: great specs, hate the iphone clone button, and it's locked up tight, with no ETA on bootloader unlock for the ME7 update. dev edition looks unlockable, but has bafflingly useless tiny memory. (seriously? 16g not counting how much the OS takes?)
HTC one: killer phone, no removable battery (wtf?) no SD card (seriously?)
MOTO X: looks like the closest to a GNEX i'm gonna get, but the specs pale compared to the high end phones.
Nexus 5? the nexus 4 accidentally never got LTE, and hence never came to VZ. dammit. can't find a release date (aside from ?2013?) or specs anywhere.
LG G2: looks great, good specs, all the usual features, but weird rear buttons. i think i'm favoring this one right now.
your advice, please.

[Q] Help to buy a smartphone!

Hi everybody!
I'm Cesare, and i'm italian! I was looking for a smartphone.
I want to spend moreless 160€, MAX 170!
The BEST i can find with that price is Xperia U or the Alcatel one touch Star. (If I have to look for a know brand).
The fact is.. i saw a nice "chinaphone" with i don't know which brand i i had a question. Do you think I could try to buy it?
It does not look so bad (specs they say are not bad).
But Why everybody say not to buy "chinaphones"?
I read good review for this "STAR B24M", but the thing is that I don't know what is "good" for a person who bought it (it could be my grandmother with her first mobile phone and she could say "oh, it's perfect.. no problem.. beautifull, etc..)
Here a video from youtube:

Yes, you can go for Sony Xperia U Smartphone in this budget. This Smartphone has very smooth touch screen, good camera quality, powerful OS and processor and more gaming features that you can enjoy every time.

That is good advice. Search and then ask your question in the right place.

What should I do?

I've really been racking my brain lately on what to do. Because of the recent changes in Verizon's policy that basically take away upgrades as they make you wait the length of your contract before they allow you to "upgrade" your phone.... Anyway I digress...
I currently have a HTC Dna that I recently picked up for an excellent deal coming from a decidedly "too large" galaxy note 2. I've never really looked twice at HTC, but this phone is great. I've been debating weather to wait months to see if Verizon gets their version of the "one", or switch to AT&T and pick up one tomorrow.... Which brings me to my next question.... Do you believe the HTC One is worth upgrading to considering my current ownership of the DNA? A little third party input I believe would be beneficial.
Any thoughts, comments, concerns, or whatever. I hardly ever post to these things. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks

You *can* change titles. Just edit and go into advanced mode. That's moot anyway since I've closed the other thread. Please do not duplicate threads in future.

Thanks for the cheap shot. I guess we can't all be as cool as you, nitpicking around in a forum looking for mistakes. Boy if I were you, I'd feel pretty high and mighty after all this. Prick

Need opinion , HTC one or S4 or Xperia Z ?

guys I need you opinion , im my way to get new a gadjet but i doubt to choose between this 3 device..
No one can decide this for you. People are naturally just going to tell you to get what they find more appealing, and what's important to them. Your priorities will probably differ though, so you need to analyze what's important to you and then learn about each device, then make a decision.
They all have their strengths and their weaknesses.
If you're not sure what to buy, this is the place to ask:

Just don't go for Xperia... HTC and S4 are far better
No one can choose for you. Anyway,you should choose depend on your taste. You like to hear music? Or what? And decide the phone.

HTC One vs Galaxy S4 T-Mobile

So, I ordered a HTC One developer edition, which arrived with dust underneath the screen. I sent it back, and now two weeks later I am informed by HTC that my order has been delayed and that my new exchanged phone won't ship until May 31. Understandably, I canceled the exchange, and am now faced with the dilemma. The only carrier I will use is T-Mobile, and they only offer the One in 32gb and the S4 in 16gb. Now, all things set aside I prefer the One but I have a lot of media on my phone and 32gb, while probably enough, would leave me with little breathing room. On the other hand, with the S4, I would be able to us a SD, but the small internal memory (only 9gb available to users) means that I will have little room for games and other large apps. Which one do you think I should go with? I will be making my order tonight.
Not sure what to buy next?

I would suggest you go with HTC one since it have a bigger internal memory (if you are worried about disk space). Android 4.0 doesn't allow users to save on sd anymore (except using link2sd). But if you are more into power, then get s4.
