get a galaxy S so you can post in the wrong section in their forums.
Galaxy S for faster games and apps but get the nexus one because its a Google phone and it will be updated.
o **** I did my fault
Galaxy S has a way better screen with 0 multi touch problems.

Nice that you say this like it is a fact without having used it...
I didn't know my N1 had multitouch problems, that must be a brand new thing that just started happening?
Get a Nexus One, because unlike every other phone out there, a Nexus One is the one that is assured to get every update.
****, N1s are already being pushed 2.2, the N1 is Google's main phone, it will always get the love first before other devices.
Oh, and unlike the Galaxy S which has the stupid Touch Wiz or whatever the hell Samsung decides to put on and ruin the phone; the N1 is clean vanilla; and the best UI for any Android phone.
Galaxy innards are better than the nexus one, except for the lack of flash on the camera (wtf seriously samsung?).
Body on the samsung is plastic from what I can tell.
If you plan on hacking up a phone, I'd probably stick with nexus.
Moved to general Q&A as will get more views and not Android Dev.

The multitouch problem on the N1 has been known for awhile its a hardware problem. HTC fixed it in the Incredible and up. There are tons of videos showing the Galaxy S off including the screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVlsRCMltDg
What do you say now?
I guess he would pretty much repeat what he said first : You can't be sure it has "zero multi touch problems" without testing it extensively. Maybe the multitouch will start glitching in a few month, or maybe it has a weird problem that happens when you hold it upside down or when it's cold, or in under strange situations.
The Nexus on looks like it has zero problems... Untill you try crossing two touch points.
So all you can say right now is that it doesn't seem to be affected by the same problem as the Nexus One. We'll see in a few weeks/months if it is indeed perfect.
As for the Nexus One vs Galaxy S thing, seeing as Samsung has a history of poor updates and crappy batteries, I'd stick with the Nexus One or wait for Motorola or HTC to release a more powerful phone, preferably without UI customisation (Nexus Two ?)
Google's own phone has a bug =O
I'd still say google N1 tbh, always gonna be up to date and shizzle =).
I like the Galaxy's name only But the Nexus One rocks & has been a developers (xda) dream device
I only have some very basic knowledge on ROM porting but with the Sense 6 port for the Nexus 5 it was ported over to the LG G2 with very minimal hiccups (except for the ones present on the N5). Now there is a LG G3 ROM for the LG G2, and now I am wondering if we can reverse the project to get an LG UI from the G3 (ported to the G2) on the Nexus 5.
If we could it would be awesome

The Sense 6 port didn't get far enough to be anywhere near daily driver capable.
Porting the LG G3 firmware to the Nexus 5 is different/"harder" compared to porting it to the LG G2.

Its still different and what I said previously still stands.
Also, reading that thread, it seems a little silly as they're just copying it from the Nexus 5 with minimal changes to get it to boot lol.. No real development in that thread.

So could we not copy it from the LG G2, and make minimal changes to get a G3 port to boot, with no real development? Or am I just very slow and completely misinterpreting this.

You could, but it would be a very crippled port, just like the Sense 6 port.

Why would it be like that though, because the Sense 6 port of a port required a modification to some minor things and what wasn't working on the N5 didn't work on the G3, so wouldn't it be the same. Everything is working, so everything would be working?

Unfortunately that isn't the case, the thread is being spammed just like the Sense 6 port was, because of bugs.
Dude you need to build Sense or the G3 ROM from the source which is not available like it would be from Google.

It isnt possible the developer would have to rewrite the whole code. The only reason their able to port the z xperia's is it was written in open source. Lg g2 is through korea's smart sense crap
It has been confirmed that LG plans to update the G Flex 2 to Android 6.0 along with their other 2015 flagship phones.
I'm curious as to what the community believes this update will bring to the phone. Obviously we will acquire the improvements of Android Marshmallow, but I really wish I knew if LG plans to bring anything else to the device.
An example would be UX 4.0 from the LG G4. Or if they possibly plan to revamp all the devices to a possible UX 5.0.
The Number one thing on my wishlist would probably be all the camera controls that the LG G4 has.... and maybe even the V10.
I also hope that they just add more options to customize their software. I know that this is an android phone and there are custom launchers and stuff. But I am definitely one of those people that love it when I can be satisfied with the built in software. An example of this is the fact that I don't like any of the unlocking animations that are built in, and there aren't that many of them to choose from. I came from a Nexus 5 and I am huge fan of how clean everything looks. From the icons to the animations, everything just looks focused and subtle. A lot of Lg's software is the opposite of this. Really wish Samsung and LG would stop trying to impress customers with glitter and pretty lights. I don't need the screen to look like a friggin' carbonated water portal opening up just to reveal a text from my mom.
Anyway, rants aside.
What do you guys think we'll get?
Do you think everything will be the same just running on the foundation of Android 6.0? Or do you think LG has more goodies planned..
UX 4 or 5.0 would be nice. Maybe camera software..
But can you tell me where did you found the news of GF2 updating to Marshmellow? Thx.
I'm hoping LG would give there own apps a makeover like the phone app for example. It looks terrible and not like the clean material guidelines Google is using for their apps. Other than that I think not a lot will change, nor does it has to change in my opinion.

Where was it confirmed?
Sent from my XT1528
Yea I apologize, I read a number of sites earlier in the week supposedly confirming that the phone was getting the update. When I went to go get links for you guys I realized that all of them were basically just assuming or guessing that the phone would get it.
The only report with any evidence was that the G3 and G4 were going to get it because LG added Android 6.0 as one of the possible versions of the operating system that those phones can be running on a Korean LG support page. But those were the only two phones they found and I'm not sure how old that information is.
So basically we're just hoping/assuming the GF2 will get it at this point.
I'd assume the LG G Flex 2 was getting Marshmallow also. It was marketed as a "flagship" device, and it's in the same line as the G4 - I'm guessing it will get it.
In terms of what it will bring, I reckon only improved battery. However the 810 SoC is starting to annoy the hell out of me. I grabbed one of these for £180 brand new as I was trying to be smart....other than the jank caused by v1 of this chip, I love it!
So....yeah, battery and that's about it.
What software version are you running on yours? I did the same thing as you and I bought the phone during a sale. Got it for 250 bucks brand new with free shipping. When I first got the phone it was on Android 5.0.1 and I was actually kind of pissed. The performance was really terrible and unpredictable for a phone with this much horsepower and the battery life was horrible.
But I have to say, that as soon as I was able to get the 5.1.1 update from AT&T/LG the phone's performance is noticeably way better. Really kind of makes you wonder why LG even launched the phone when it was that bad out of the box. I know for a fact that a lot of people returned the phone because of the performance on Ver. 5.0.1 of the software. Everyone just assumed the phone was a piece of ****.
Im hoping they revamp the ui , pull down and icons. Its about as ugly as touchwiz and really hinders the experience. yeah, there are numerous custom launchers, but meh. im hoping someone can develop an aosp rom for this phone
While I'm still waiting for my phone to arrive I'm wondering why the dev community for the X play is so small. The LG G4 also suffers from this problem. Coming from a nexus device this is new for me. Maybe someone might have an answer for me. Too new phone? no code from motorola to work on Marshmallow builds? Unattractive phone? Everyone waiting for the MM code drops?
I'm happy there are devs at all, you're the reason I decided for the phone, so keep up the good work

Nexus as everyone knows has a huge fan following. This particular device hasn't much fan following. The stock firmware is already out. Unattractive I won't say.

The more owners any given model has, the more likely it is that there are programmers among them capable of android development. Then there's the question of how much of the drivers/firmware is available as open source or compatible third-party stuff. Finally, there's the question of how much the phone actually benefits from custom anything.
Currently, i am on a stock ROM stock kernel with xposed and gravitybox and i currently have no open wishes ... except maybe the LED notification light, that would only work with a custom kernel.
X play is great, even with stock
@AtomicStryker I totally agree. Stock 6.0 is fast and smooth. Really not missing the bugs or broken features of the latest CM versions
Get a themeable launcher, like Slim launcher form Xda, root for adaway or netguard if you don't root, and basically you're done ! Enjoy.

For systemwide themes, layers is there and everything is settled.
Even the sound performance on earphones is so good, no need of any sound mods. ?

I'm waiting on my phone too, but the community will hopefully pick up as more dev teams get their hands on the device and whatnot. Things should gain traction after the overall international release of Marshmallow on this device is done, I'd say. Fingers crossed.
That's true. I was using xiaomi mi3 . great hardware for its price. But hated to use KitKat forever. It has got great developers .
But once I lost the mobile I got mxp. Honestly it's got very less support at the moment. I expected lot of activity.
I used to have so many notifications in xda when I was using mi3

Best thing i did was go from the Nexus 5 to the MXP. The N5 needed all the dev work to be usable where as the MXP is great out of the box.

The battery life and the camera are the only noticeable upgrades of the Moto x play, but performance wise, the nexus 5 is superior.

I do agree with you on the superior performance of the N5 compared to the MXP. But let's focus on the important things, do we want to charge our smartphone everytime at the end of the day?
This is one of the reasons I moved from my beloved N5 to this new phone. Regularly, I use my smartphone for IM, browsing and e-mail. Do I need to have the best performance ? Certainly not.
More important is to have a phone that brings a battery endurance that lasts up to 2 days. The N5 in my 2 years of usage was like driving a ferrari. Unprecedented performance but an appalling operating range (battery life), charging the phone twice a day was nothing special.
As for the dev activity. The nexus community is unmatched when it comes to this. It can certainly be better but we have xposed framework + gravity box and also an unoffical cm13 build that looks promising to reach official status soon.
Cheers,
Ynternet

No Nexus phone offers Bluetooth aptX or µSD card support, the bright screen of the MXP is excellent in itself, the front facing speaker is loud etc.

Patience friend, Marshmallow is coming.
Joining the family soon.. To be precise Tomorrow.
I wouldn't compare Motorola's phones to Nexus line at all. Dev's love Nexuses, they always did. Sure, Moto's look kinda similar, being so close to stock and all, but it's not actually stock android right? You can kinda see the dev scene picking up slowly and I think it's only going to get better once MM is available worldwide.
On a side note, it's nice to see I wasn't the only one coming from Nexus 5 to MXP. Turns out there are plenty of people willing to trade off some pure benchmark performance for actual quality-of-life improvements, like battery and screen.

I hope galaxy S7 UI is faster and smoother then Nexus 6P.
NOTE 5 Touchwiz is much better than Plain and boring stock android.i seriously dont know whats wrong with people how the hell they prefer terrible looking featureless stock android over touchwiz.
i dont think it will be changing to a better one , since samsung is doing the same thing over and over again.

It's a trade-off. Definitely not as smooth as stock android, but the features blow stock away.
Plus, with custom, Touchwiz-based ROMs and kernels you get the smoothness back. I don't hate it.

Makes no business sense. I heard that rumor many times without any actual proof. While I keep thinking about it. what incentives google has for helping Samsung? None!
It's not like Samsung has problems to sell phones, or Google will lose money if it doesn't help Samsung. For example, all nexus phone suffer from bad battery life. I have used 2 nexus, both were terrible batterylife. If GGogle was so good, they should first improve their own software implementation before helping others, right?
