Hi Everyone,
Im using an att LG G2 with Paranoid Android installed. I believe it to be PA version 3.4 and Android version 4.3.1 from looking af the about phone settings. Basically Ive had this phone on loan to someone for about a year and it is just bogged down with shovelware. Netflix wont even load. I was comfortable playing around with ROMs before but ive been in the Ios scene lately and am out of practice.
My main concern is having the phone back to its speed from before, getting rid of all of the apps, and starting fresh. Id like to keep PA, hopefully upgrade to the latest version, but if i can just factory reset that works too. I'm pretty sure i could reinstall PA starting from scratch with a clean phone. I've been through the forums different times and I really do find that the info is all consolidated well. I hope I don't come accross as lazy or unwilling to search, I just had a bad experience flashing my Galaxy S2 so whenever I'm not certain on the process I try to consult with people more involved.
Thank you all for your time,
Andrew Rapp

I know this is stupid...and i may not get any replies over here...
but still giving it a try...
My budget is around 20k (300$), and i needed a phone which i can give it a future update as well. Since Android L is gonna come too, i would really want it in my phone. I'm currently using Huawei Y 200, and it pretty much sucks...! (NO CUSTOM ROMS MADE FOR IT )
so guys please help me out here!!!!!!!!
Hi there,
I'd recommend asking that question in the off-topic section of XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/off-topic
Since it doesn't really regard any form of development or needing a phone to be fixed, it is probably best placed there.
You will find lots of keen XDA users who I'm sure will input and tell you what they think.
Good luck!
P.S: I'd go for the Moto G

Hi guys,
i'm looking for a showcase demo to use on android tablets (lenovo, HP, Samsung,...)
just as a showcase so they don't just sit there doing nothing
It is for use in a small IT shop.
kind regards Karel
Hi,
ROMS on XDA are generally made to function fully. You would need to set it up and disable what you think you should yourself.
Since its for multiple devices, I suggest you ask further questions here...

Good luck!
Hello, I am currently looking to get a new Android phone and these three, S3 Neo, L90 and G2 Mini are among my current favourites, and I am having trouble deciding. I need my phone to run apps smoothly, and to be able to hold a number of them unlike my current ZTE Blade G which started lagging after I installed only five or so apps. The availability of roms for the phones is not very relevant to me, I only want it to be able to update to Lollipop once that comes out. I would gladly accept any other recommendations in the same price range as those three.
Hi there,
The best way to get opinions on this would be to register on XDA and ask in this thread:

Good luck!
Hello XDA
I have been using help of XDA for a long time. It is a good source of help and information.
Lately I bought an HTC M8 for my daughter and I found that it requires bootloader unlocking plus some stuff that I find hard compared my Samsung phone.
May I suggest if XDA can create a sheet for all phones especially the new ones where they mention whether bootloader is locked and the difficulty of rooting and installing recovery and new Roms.
Had I known this about the M8, I would have simply bought a Samsung.
Thanks
Hi,
I suggest a lot of research before buying next time... And you'd have known this up front. Especially with new devices now, as many carriers are locking down their phones more and more.... And with it getting more difficult to Root with newer Android releases. Many new Samsung models can't even currently be rooted. Not so for the M8.
As far as a unified list goes.... That would be a major undertaking... No one would do this unless they wanted to. Perhaps you could take on this project and contribute to your fellow members with such a list?
Do some research and you'll find you can do far more with an M8, modification wise, than most newer Samsung devices. ?
Here's the M8 section. The General and Q&A sections have many guides and tutorials, Usually at the top of the section, stickied. ?

I HATE CHROME! Somebody please help me port my browser from my G3 into my G4. I love the way it functions more like IE from Windows. In the mean time, I'll try dolphin again like on my nexus 10, but I want my LG browser back! I'm sick of everything functioning like an Apple product. That's what Google did wrong. FU€K Apple! So, can I get some help please? I've accomplished so much with you guys on this site. I'd hate to be stopped here over a supposedly simple app. Yes, LG failed the G4 here...
Looking down the list at the other posts in this area, I realize that I may not have laid out my headline correctly. Also, others questions seem more technical, and maybe more specific to user issue. I will understand if I don't get a response right away with such a new phone. I will say that digging deeper answers most of the other questions. If you are one of those ppl, keep digging. XDA is amazing in guidance. Just read carefully and try more than once. At the same time, I hope someone is at least having my same thought on this amazing new hardware. Also looking for root, but not my main issue as of yet.
