When will Cyanogenmod for LG G PRO 2 release? I'm waiting since forever.
why not just trade in for a OnePlus? it's similar spec, cheaper and CM as standard.
Yeah, did that only.
Oneplus one is cheaper but invite system is a headache but somehow I was able to get an invite and I finally got the oneplus one.
P. S. Selling an LG phone was none less than a nightmare as most people still prefer a crappy second hand Samsung phone compared to a second hand LG flagship device with awesome specs.
Actually, OnePlus now use their own OS - Oxygen.
and every tuesday, you can buy the OnePlus without invite.

I see LG G3 is coming
Soon Nexus 6 is after G3 ?
(I skipped Nexus 4)
Nexus 6 will be Qtr 4, November probably. We cannot make teh decision for you. N5 is a great phone though.
If you look at it that way by the time q4 hits you might as well wait for q1 and so on..
Yeah, as @mistahseller said. New phones are constantly coming out so if you want the N5 you should just get it. You can also make the argument about the One Plus One since it's apparently a better value (without getting into all the CM details). Personally I've been getting phones when they first get released just because I am one of those people that likes having "new" devices. But at the same time I don't buy every new device that comes out.
Also, there's the rumors of android silver. So who knows what's going to happen. There might be a N6, there might not. Just like the Nexus 10 tablet, they still haven't refreshed the original.
Get it now if you really want it, Then upgrades are always possible later...
google play doesn't regularly discount phones/devices (as much/frequently as a retailer like Best Buy)
That saying, the most recent price drops:
Last time, Nexus 4 dropped by $100 in august 2013
7 days ago, the GPE Xperia Z Ultra dropped $230 to $450.
Hence, Nexus 5 will typically be $350/$400 for 16GB/32GB..... will other phones be cheaper (LG G2, HTC One 2013)?
do you want those phones?
Hi!
Well, I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 as a gift and as much as I appreciate it, I'm not a fan of the Samsung brand because of their build quality (it improved in those 2014-end devices but I'm talking about the GS4). The GS4 is being sold by the main stores at 399€ so I'm planning to sell it for 320€/350€, buy the OnePlus One and even buy a case/skin for it.
Well, trading the GS4 for the OPO is a no brainer but I am thinking in selling the GS4, get the money and save it to spend it later on a better 2015 phone.
What should I do? Should I buy the OPO, should I buy another device or should I wait? I would buy the OPO without a doubt if it was some months before but after hearing all the confusion between OnePlus and Cyanogen, CM12s being promised to around this date and still being unreleased... Should I wait for a possible "OnePlus Two"? Should I buy a Nexus device? (I currently own a Galaxy Nexus)
I need some advice
You won't get $350 for your s4, check swappa.com for me easy place to sell and to get a realistic idea of what you'll get for yours. I've had a lot of phones and the 1+1 is far and away my favorite. Dev community is excellent, hardware is top notch, great speakers, beautiful screen, awesome battery life, it's really does everything perfectly. How long do you typically keep your devices, though? If you want to keep your next phone for more than a year, I'd say to wait and see what 2015 flagships bring.
Without a doubt if your interested, buy the phone! I've recently bought a Nexus 6 and the OPO is still one of my favorite phones of all time even compared to the Nexus 6!

Nah man, I can sell it for 350/320€ without a problem. Here in Portugal mobile contracts are rare, 95% of the population buys the phones carrier locked (which means we can only use that carrier's SIM cards in our phones) and the devices are expensive. GS4 is being sold at 399€ new in the big carriers so I can sure sell it for less 50 or 80 euros.
I have my Galaxy Nexus for almost 3 years and I don't change my devices often, maybe 3 to 4 years. I also can't spend over 500€ on a device so I don't have wallet for a HTC or a LG or a high end Samsung (even though they aren't the best price/quality choices, I'm just stating xd).
I would be sad if I bought the OnePlus One today and June or July comes and "OnePlus Two" comes at the same price, with better specs and the CM12s. But I don't also want to wait until OnePlus decides do reveal or not a new device. That's why I'm asking here, to know the thoughts of the ones who bought the OPO since they sure are better informed than me.
Definitely get it. I had motorola, samsung, nexus etc I even had the LG G3 before coming to the 1+. I love it, hands down the best phone I have owned and I wouldn't get rid of it till it is properly dead.

I wouldn't be sad, theres always going to be the 'next' follow up phone, even if you buy the 'newest' it doesnt take long for a successor to come along or at least the rumours. With the Oneplus One you are still getting great value for money, stable CM11S, CM12S due shortly (definitely), along with OxygenOS and lot of other custom ROMs to pick from. Not to mention the obvious like nexus-easy bootloader unlock and root.
You can also now get a OPO relatively easy, plenty of invites knocking about or just purchase directly every Tuesday. I imagine its going to be pretty hard to get hold of an invite for the Oneplus Two when its released, as I'm guessing it will be invite only for the first while, so factor that into your thoughts around waiting time/availabilty.
I've had the Galaxy S4, HTC One M8 and Nexus 5 all within the last 5 months and overall the OPO is better than them all. Theres no added bloat, no difficulty/warranty issues unlocking the bootloader, solid stock CM and as many custom ROMs as you like and the battery life is fantastic. In terms of the nexus 5, its basically a nexus 6 for those who were underwhelmed by the nexus 6, in terms of large (without being too large) screen, great battery life (non 2k screen), decent camera and very reasonable price.
Hello,
Long story short my G3 has failed me and LG are paying me a settlement since they won't replace it due to lack of stock so I'm looking to buy a new device under the £300 mark!
So far I'm debating on the OnePlus 3 or the Moto X Style (Currently £299.99 from the Moto site). Any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
My trusty Nexus 5 has finally called it quits and I'm looking for an affordable 'good' phone to tide me over until I'm willing to shell out on a new phone again (at least a year, but my Nexus 5 lasted 3 years so who knows).
I am in the UK and looking to spend £200-£250. I was all set to buy the Moto G4 Plus (4/64GB model) but have discovered other options that may be to my liking.
Priorities:
not noticeably slower than the Nexus 5
east to root/ROM
good long term prospects of being supported by the XDA community
good screen (5-5.5 inch and >1080p)
I have currently got three options:
Moto G4 Plus (4GB RAM, 64GB) - £224
OnePlus 2, £250
LG G4, £250
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
In your options, the one plus2 is a good phone. I almost got the lg g4 last week but after searching I found that there are users saying they have a bootloop problem ( but lg will fix it) I dont want the hassle so I did not take the g4. For the moto g4, not sure.
I have an s5 right now. Bought it coz its only $50. Its better than my iphone 5s where I always have to charge it.
Hello community,
While custom development is very important for me, and I would build my own stuff what is the best phone to buy?
I know lg is not open to devs but the have some working roms.
Bot on this thread of honor 8 it seem that is not much progress of developing due the lack of sources from honor.
So I holding off to buy the honor 8 is there any news of progressing with the release of sources?
Since you are a developer I'd say you would be better of getting the LG G5. As it runs on the Snapdragon 820, which is easier to develop custom ROMs for than the Kirin 950 used in the Honor 8. However the Honor 8 does have much better build quality than the LG G5.

I usually stop reading right at this point and recommend a Nexus.

Yeah, a Nexus is the perfect device for custom ROM developers.
If you have to choice between Honor 8 and LG G5. Go with the Honor 8. LG doesn't unlock bootloader. Their customer service is horrible. I bought a brand new unlock LG Flex 2 and the battery die in 10 months. I contacted LG and they wouldn't fix it under warranty because it was bought unlocked. Their reason was I didn't buy it brand new because it was unlocked. I provided proof of purchase and it clearly stated the phone is unlocked and brand new with the purchase date within warranty. They refused to fix it.
Stay away from LG. Look through all the LG section here. People are frustrated with LG phones. This is why LG keeps losing money in their mobiles business. They make unreliable products and don't honor their warranty
I was just in the same position a couple of weeks ago. My Xperia Z5 compact battery was dying, and wouldn't even make it through a day. I did a lot of comparison between the LG G5 and the Honor 8. I finally went with the 64GB version of the Honor 8, and I have no complaints so far.
This doesn't really answer your question, but I thought I'd throw in my experience.
If that is your only choice go for honor. G5 modular concept really messed up their build quality. A friend of mine has one a while the bottom does not fit all that secure after he fiddles with it a lot. Now he uses Moto Z, seems more secure to me.
Thanks all, I am now having a Oneplus X. I will go for the honor 8! Nexus 5x is nice phone my girlfriend have it and she love the fingerpint scanner so that's why I pick those 2 phones plus and wanted better cpu and charging
