Now that we get dual booting and Google play edition phones. Based on rumors of the new HTC One. Would it be wise to sell my N5 and go to the new One? If waterproof. I think I will have to. Always been a dream to have HTC and Vanilla.

I think you just answered your own question
The Google play edition HTC and Sammy phones look vanilla but aren't. They still have proprietary frameworks so don't expect the fact they have GPE to mean AOSP development will be any better

Oh really. I didn't wanna here that. I like my options open to run whatever I want with lots of development.

Honestly coming from a Droid 3 I love the amount of development on this device even though I am still on the stock ROM. Nexus devices the rest of the way please.

I just wanna know how good the aosp development is for HTC one. Always wanted a hyc stock phone. How could it get any better.

Read the aosp roms threads in the current HTC one forum

It's never "wise" to buy a brand new phone 5 months after the last one came out. However it's your money, spend in on what you want. Just don't expect members of one phones forum to recommend another phone.

You will have to sell 2 nexuses actually.
imo, the the new HTC ONE seems like going where SONY Xperia z2 and SGS5 went that LG didn't go.
I mean too big body in proportion to the screen size.

It's more than 5 months old fyi - 19th Feb 2013 to be exact..
----------------------------------
I used to use MoDaCo on my old HTC One which (I then swapped for the Note 3 (still have it) and I have an N5 now), had the option of flicking between Sense and GPE - It worked, but as posted further up development isn't that great for the One.
Amen on the price. And not worried about size. My N5 is big with a ballistics SG maxx case.

Just wondering if anyone else was in the same boat. I would like to have the speakers and camera of a new phone. And a few other little things.

So I have had the Epic 4G since it came out over 2 years and with how much it chugs, the terrible battery life, and the now cracked screen, its time for an upgrade. I've been holding out for Google to announce a new Google phone but it doesn't look like there will be a Sprint version for some time. I'm currently debating between the S3 or the Note 2 but not sure which. What does anyone else think? There might be other phones I'm missing but I've heard really good things for both of these.

Alright guys I can only afford to buy one nexus 4 this holiday , I am currently using a Galaxy nexus , I ordered one 16gb N4 for my gf because she is still using an iPhone first generation...... I don't mind to skip this nexus generation for her and I hold on to my Gnex for another year. So, what would you do ? Would you guys do the same?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Imo, if you really like her and have a strong relationship, buy it for her. You'll be much happier overall, and the nexus 4 isn't a revolutionary upgrade from the gnex anyhow.

If she isn't really a tech lover and only cares about messaging and some basic stuff maybe you can give to her your gnexus and let the n4 for yourself, anyways if you want to make a surprise I think that you should give it to her.

I'll get it for her just to stop the ibrainwashing those people are doing to her.

From what you listed you really can't go wrong. Find a store that had live demos and go from there.

I went to best buy today and got to demo the s4 and it won my heart but I think my best bet is to wait till end summer almost fall to see what's coming out id rather have a legacy Google device then a outdated htc/samsung device

I just traded my HTC one for the s4, I dont think im going to upgrade for a while probably till the next batch of phones is released.
Probably go back to being in the “Hipster" crowd and get the newest IPhone.

Thinking of going to the hipster crowd I had s3 and just got an s4 and this one is very lagging
If Apple came out with a 4.5"+ screen I'd go back to Apple in a heartbeat. Alas they fail to listen to the crowds who want 720p+ and higher screen PPI or larger screen.
well my backup phone is a note 2, but I won't see going with a sideways exchange so would wait for a note 3 if anything if upgrading when it comes out

Heard that the iPhone 5s is going to be a 4.2" but that's just rumors. I ran iOS 7 beta on my iPhone 4 and loved it.

Oppo find 7 running CM 10.2.
And I have an HTC One. I really have mixed feelings about this phone.

Note 3 (5.7 in screen) or GSM HTC Butterfly S w/LTE... i have the non LTE (but HSPDA+) version. it's the HTC One without the aluminum casing, same LCD screen but 5 inches (vs 4.7), same camera with a 3200 mAH non-removable battery and a microSD slot. the Butterfly S convinced me to give up my Note II, but not my S4
Nokia 3260. With the aftermarket light up antenna and battery. While rocking the fur Elise ringtone. Had every ifad until I got the og note. I couldn't see ever going back. To restrictive on everything. I still remember the black home screen wallpaper, non MMS sending iPhone. Everything that's iOS has that's good was ripped from android (multitasking,notification center, etc).

When I bought my S4A, I did so under the premise that it was only meant to hold me over until the Nexus 5 (or whatever the next one will be called) came out. However, I'm finding that I really like this phone (once I rooted, made some necessary tweaks, and got rid of all the bloatware).
Now, I'm thinking that the next Nexus is going to have to really sell itself to pull me back. Of course, if the next update irreparably removes my root and cancels all my changes... then the N5 will be looking shiny again.

I don't wanna make a post about leaving but this devices thread has just been so awesome and has taught me so much over the past year and a half I feel I need to just say thank you all for the wonderful experiences and I only hope the note 3 thread is at least half as good as this one.

Hey. It's alright to say goodbye. Especially when it's followed up with a thanks to the community. This thread has been awesome. I have to admit that I'm surprised this thread is still so active to say HTC (may have) forgot about us. Enjoy your Note 3. I hear it's an awesome device. Waiting for the new ONE myself
Yeah its awesome but att locked the bootloader tight so all I can really do is root.

I was gonna do the same but I would have had to port my third line over and it would cost way more then I was paying now plus 120 for the note 3 but I just upgraded to next and got it for free and my bill is 10 dollars cheaper a month
