I was wondering what peoples opinion is on what the best Android smartphone is for a root user?
Something that has a lot a large community, plenty support, and the capability of developing further?
I don't just want to know 'what's the best android phone', as I don't really care what its like out the box. I'm looking for a phone with massive potential for complete customization.
Its time to get rid of the awful iPhone 5s!
Cheers,

All three are good devices IMO.

There is the right place to discuss this with other users.
Please do not open/read this:
... sorry, I can't resist ... go for the S5
But every user will give a different advice. For me the S5 was the best decision. Maybe for you too ... maybe not?!
... hey, I said not to open and read this
Thread closed. Thank you!
Dear Sir,
Iam looking for a new smartphone that should last for the coming two years.
the specs that Iam looking for is a reliable one.
I have some models in mind but I need your assistance in order to decide.
first choice: Huawei mate S or LG G4 or Samsungs S6 Edge +
second choice : Gionee Elife E8 or BLU Pure XL or Allview X2 Xtreme.
Remark: in option 2, although the three look like together but there should be some one who is better in quality and manufacturing products.
here I need your advice and recommendation for option 1 & 2
last but not least, if you really recommend a mobile that is not in the above list then I will be more than happy to hear from your side.
Awaiting for your reply and thanks in advance
Hello,
Thank you for using XDA Assist
Thank you also very much for asking our advise as to your new phone choice.
While most of us here very big phone enthusiast and have been on these boards for years, the one thing we have learned is that there is so much individualism and what someone may want for their device is not the same that someone else may want.
You have to analyze what is best for you.
What do you want to do with your phone?
How much is a certain feature valuable to you?
This is like asking which is the Best Rom? There is no answer for that!
It is what is best for the user.
May suggest you make a list as you have of devices you may be interested in.
Then go to read about each device the specs, maybe go to the XDA Forum for those devices and read what the users there are saying about it.
Collect as much information as you can then sit down go through it and figure out what is best for you.
Good Luck
Ragnar
Looking for a new android for my boyfriend to replace his current awful phone, and finances are a bit tight right now. We're hoping to find a device under $170, it needs to have SD support to hold all his music and photos, GSM unlocked for Cricket Wireless, and we'd like to find one that has flexibility on custom ROMs. He really likes the one I have, the Huawei Ascend Mate 2, which has CM and PAC, and around the $200 range, but we're wondering if the people of XDA have other devices to recommend. Like me, he also prefers large-ish screens... no tiny phones. It'd also be great to have one that is eligible for Lollipop. Perhaps I am asking too much.

Ah, thank you!!
I'm finally looking to upgrade my phone from the Verizon SGS4. I'd like to stick to Samsung, though I know they've really locked their devices down since I setup my SGS4. I'd appreciate any advice from you pros, or if you can point me to some in depth guides if they relate to my question.
My question is, what phones are best for rooting and customization now? I like to keep my device as stripped down as possible.
My priorities are:
No bloatware/malware
ability to only load the few apps I need
security
battery life
processing speed
Thanks for your time!

Hey all! I want to buy a new mid range phone which is decent, but also has decent developer support, and is small in size (~5 in).
Not necessarily specific, but i wanted your help in getting pointed to the right direction of a developer friendly company/ a phone which has active dev support and is not necessarily a flagship, since i like to tinker a lot and install custom roms, xposed modules etc. Thank you!
