Custom ROMs?

Hi,
Nothing is the Best or Perfect but in your experience which is the most recommended Custom ROM for OPO.......most stable, reliable etc.
Hoping to hear from you as always,
Thanks.

Thats too much of a generic question, thats like asking what is the best car? Look around and browse what catches your attention.
They're free. Go try.

So True.

Best rom threads are not allowed here. Please take the time to search the Development forums. Check the OPs of the threads you see there and decide for yourself which rom suits you. What is the best rom is a purely subjective matter and no one can really give you that information. Here on xda-developers.com, we want to discourage needless competition.

Best Smartphone to Buy, 2015 - Deborah Ferrari

Hi,
I'm Deborah Ferrari and looking for some suggestion for the best smartphone to buy in 2015.
Your suggestyions will be really appreciated.
Thanks.
Deborah Ferrari.

There are already plenty of threads open for this type of discussion. If you ask ten different people what the best phone is, you're likely to get ten different answers. The best phone for you will be determined by how you plan on using it. If you're looking to root a phone and install a custom ROM, some phones may be better suited for this purpose than others. Feel free to explore the site in search of your answer. I would also suggest going beyond the site and doing some reading on some of the other phone sites that are out there and reading some reviews. If you find a phone that seems to fit the bill for what you're looking for, check out the specific device forum here. You'll be amazed at what information can be gleaned by doing so. Best of luck in your search.

Advice for newbie on phones

I have a topic active regarding getting my ATT Note 3 up to V.7 It seems as much as I love the Note 3, ATT and others don't want me to enjoy all it has to offer by putting up so many road blocks to getting it to a better state of being.
With that in mind I have a two part question.
1. Is there some place to buy a totally unbranded Note 3 or 4 that has no locked bootloader etc?
2. Is there another brand that has similar quality and function that is easy to work with regarding custom ROMs? ( I like the OLED display! )
( GSM for either ATT or T-Mobile use in USA ) I don't want to pay through the nose for a brand new or most current device, happy with older generation or good used device, but not even sure what to look for.

Has someone boiled this down to a list of some kind? Second topic has over 1000 pages. By the time I read to the last page, there will be 100 new phones on the market? LOL
There must be a top 10!

1000 opinions not specific

I did look around but way too many pages with far to little information.
Many people simply mentioned a make/model they like without any reference to it's ability to accept MODS or be rooted etc. I can make a list of available phones but that won't tell me if I were to buy any given phone that it lends itself to being rooted and modded.
That's why I was hoping someone with hands on for some specific models could point me in the right direction given that I specified the issue of locked boot loaders and not being able to install different mods.
That topic is too general and fill of likes and dislikes based on so many variables and I'm already 71! :laugh:

Which to buy? HTC 10 vs LG V20 vs LG G6

Hello, how are you? in first place i would like to explain that my english is not pretty good, so... having said this.
I'm gonna buy a smartphone, my priority is the sound with headphones and secondly the camera (both as photos and videos). I don't care at all about the speakers sound, i mean, nothing at all.
My favorites are:
HTC 10 (this is i like the most i think, because the botons and another reasons)
LG V20 (this would be my second, something that i don't like about this is that the 3,5mm jack is in the bottom part, i mean, it's not irritating, but it's a little annoying)
LG G6 (according to web info, the version that is worth is the Korean version, is it like that? and what do you think about the normal version?)
What do you think. The htc has good sound comparing to the others phones? if not, do you think is worth to buying it being that is the phone that i like the most? i'm quite convinced about buying the HTC, but i prefer to take out the doubt.
I hope you can help me, and from now, thanks

Lg g6 = htc 10
As I can see this is the cross-post of which I have seen at the CNET forums. However, HTC 10 is now upgradable to latest Android Oreo and is much better in terms of performance, camera and as well as in sound. Sometimes Specs don't show you the reality, In general, loafs of factors depends on the phone so that It can deliver top-notch service. If the battle is among these three phones, if you look at the specs then HTC 10 is an eye candy and the boss for what it offers. Lg may be the king for the stuff like Televisions, DSLR camera and so on, but HTC is mainly about cell phones and that's also the reason why it won't con you out of money.

Which brand is the best moddable?

Dear forum,
I am a long term iPhone-User who tends to switch to Android and is fascinated with the possibilities of modding. I also finished my first "project" and rooted/unlocked/customromed an old i9250 from a friend w/ 7.1.2 rom.
As an iPhone user, i am somewhat spoiled with years-long software-updates and i want to stay this way when i'm switching to android.
For now, i researched like 6 months which brand is the best moddable, but the results so far are a little bit depressing.
I can barely find ANY mod for ANY device that does not suffer from "bugs" that make it unusable like battery drain/no 4G/bad camera quality/wifi problems/old Android version/speed problems.
So far, i consider the best moddable devices are from xiaomi and - in a limited way - oneplus.
So I'm asking you, if money and specs ain't a thing and you focus in softwareupdates, which brand would you choose? Is there something i have overseen? Is my attitude wrong, is it normal in android-world to live with the above bugs?
Would appreciate a good advice/critics.
