Hi
I need some help/info on which phone i should upgrade to. Now i know its my decision and people will say i shouldnt be asking such a question, but its more a technical thing.
Im into customising the phone, root, custom roms etc and have no problems with samsungs, so am leaning to the s6.
But i would like to know about LG G4, Sony Xperia Z3 and HTC One M9, or maybe one you can recommend.
I had a HTC M8 and found rooting and customising very difficult, has this been made easier without the very real possibility of bricking.
Never had LG or Sony before so is this as easy as Samsung on these devices or is the S6 the way to go.
Any advice/comments would be appreciated as there are so many options it all gets a bit confusing.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys. Another question on HTC phones. Please bear with me since I am still newbie in Android stuff.
I read so many times that HTC has it bootloader (or some sort) locked which makes customization harder etc etc.
Is there any news that Sensation is going to be locked? I read here and there and yet to find a right answer. Just hope to get an answer
Thanks!

Are you talking about the phone being NAND locked? If so, then more than likely it will be NAND locked. It's just the way the manufacturers attempt to keep people from mucking around with the OS on the phone.
Still, someone will find a way around it. I haven't heard of the Sensation until I read this thread, so if it's a relatively new device there's a chance there isn't much information out there on rooting and NAND unlocking the phone until others get their hands on it.
after being here... for a few good months, and having an xperia, and other devices.
i really started to like the idea of developing android, since im a Computer engineer i like this kind of things so my question is
how hard are the xperia and the samsung galaxy s captivate to develop?
how saturated are those devices and do you recomend them to develop?
also i want to go to develop custom roms and kenerls and suchs things
what i should know to start or any recomendation are welcome
thanks
With 183 posts you should know how to use the search feature.
There is a thread on the same forum page as your thread that already deals with this question.
It sort of gets asked every week.

Just check the xperia or galaxy forums, see for yourself.
No one knows how good your ROM will be, if its good people will use it.
I don't think there are phones to recommend for making ROMs...
...there is no money if you mean that, you basicly just need a phone with an unlocked bootloader. In that case the captivate should do.
Hi all. I'm trying to find the best phone for me and I value your input. I have had all of the Galaxy Phones except for the S5. I really am big on flash and eye candy. I'm trying to decide which At&t phone to get next between the LG G3, S5 and the HTC One M8. I'm obviously going to want to root it and such, but I just want to make sure that I pick a phone that I'm going to be happy with. I currently have the S3 and it does what I need for it too, but I just want a bump in hardware and such. So, between these 3 phones, which do you think I would be happier with? Which one has the more flash, glitz, eye candy, etc? Thanks all.

Depends what your dad needs.
The OnePlus One is perfect for those who want to CyanogenMod without the risk of a voided warranty or breaking their phone
The S5 (for once) is the more rugid phone with water resistance so if your dad wants a fairly tough phone then the S5 is probably the better choice

Hi All,
I've had an HTC one (m7) for about 18 months, but I'm increasingly favouring the new S6 Edge as my next phone; there are so many great features that I think will be genuinely useful.
Whereas I had a good grasp on the custom ROM scene with HTC phones, I'm not so sure what the state of play is with Samsung phones. I've read somewhere that Samsung's choice to use their own processor in the S6 will make it tough to access internals that are required for sucessful rooting.
Can anyone on this forum tell me if the above is true? Will I be able to customise and tweak the S6 in the same way that I'm used to on my m7? Is Touchwiz removable, or at least replaceable by another Launcher such as Apex or Nova? And would an alternate Launcher still have access to features like apps in separate windows, quick launch camera, etc.
I realise that I could learn most of this by googling here and on other forums, but it would be great if one of the regular contributors to this forum could give me an overview.
Thanks for your help,
Miles.
I think htc m9 will be for that

Hi Miles,
Unfortunately there is no one I know with an HTC phone.
I'll ask you a question and see if this would be recommended by you at all? The HTC M9.
