[Q] UK phone recommendation please

Hello,
I've had my fun with the old Blade, then G300, then Desire S, then Desire HD and last January I purchased a One X+ from Vodafone.
Unfortunately this last purchase was of poor planning. Within weeks of buying this "latest" phone HTC decided the phone was old hat and out comes the M7 (One). I was really miffed about this, Vodafone dropped the phone from their sales within weeks of launching it too. Bit shi**y of HTC if you ask me but that's life I guess and the world of mobile manufacturers.
The phone is unlocked and rooted and there is a limited amount of dev work going on for this phone on xda (those few do a great job), but the phone has pretty much come to the end. Sense 5 has filtered out for the phone slowly, but I can't see HTC supporting it any longer. I really expected to enjoy this phone more than a few months!!!
I might sell it, it seems the resale value is still pretty good and I could easily purchase a Nexus 4 or other dev friendly phone and still have some change left over.
That being said, can anyone recommend a phone for £100 or under, decent size screen, decent specs and above all is dev friendly (plenty roms, active community, easily unlocked/rooted)?
I'm in the UK and use the GiffGaff/O2 network, so it would need to be unlocked/network free. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum. I was unsure where else to ask.
Thanks.

Have a look at the xperia m just got one and very happy with it good specs for the price, mine came in at 200 euro off contract.

[Q] Buy it now or wait?

Hey guys,
Just like all of us I want this phone, I haven´t got an invite yet but im patient and im sure we will all have recieved one by the end of the month.
The question I have though is if I should buy this phone now or wait for future flag ships?
I currently have the LG Optimus G, its not the newest phone but it doesnt lag and does most of the things I want it to, the main reason why I want to sell it is because I still get money for it now but in a year I wont. (Also the short battery life and bad camera - debatable)
My plan was to sell the Optimus G (on ebay they go for around 150-200€) and then buy the One with that money basically so I would have a brand new smartphone for "100€"
Is it worth it though? The One has killer specs and even though I prefer the LG3, the price blows it out of the water but with 4k screens coming etc, is it maybe worth it to stick with my Optimus G and wait until next year for some new releases?
I hope someone can help me make my decission.
Thanks guys!

If you want a really new one even if it doesn't have the best specs you can get the moto e, but if you want a really solid phone that isn't exactly supported by google but is capable of a ton for ~$100 then the galaxy nexus is a great phone and you can get them new for about that price unlocked.

Note 2 verizon can be found for $150 on ebay if you watch watch watch.

[Completed] [WHAT PHONE] $200 android for Rooting & flashing ROMs.

Jan 2015 I bought Oneplus One used it for a year and finally sold it on Jan 2016 and bought iPhone 6s 64GB for more than $1000. Since then Ive been using it and frankly Im terribly disappointed and frustrated by the whole iOS eco system. Not to mention the higher cost of same Apps vis-a-vis Android.
Im now planning to get a second phone, an android, for my love of rooting and flashing custom ROMs and for changing more than a wallpaper in the name of customization. And eventually sell my iphone after a year since selling it now will cause heavy depreciation loss to me.
Ive set a budget of $200 to buy a custom rom happy android phone, please tell me which phones should I consider. Im open to used phones too.
Please note that phone should have rich custom rom development activities.
