I put this in the device suggestion thread, but that doesn't seem to get a lot of eyes, so I'm hoping I can get a bit more of a response here.
My S4 is dying, so I need to replace it this week. Unfortunately, root is a big priority (TB and Xposed), and good, rootable AT&T phones seem extremely few and far between anymore. The S7 root looks like a minefield, but the Note7 root might be usable? Does anyone know of any other good, rootable phones on AT&T at the moment that I must be overlooking?
Thanks!

I've already posted in there and am not getting a response, so I thought I might get more of a response here.

Although the likelihood is that you will get no development on such a cheap device as it will have a relatively small user-base and isn't powerful enough to do anything clever with it.

Thanks for providing link. But i don agree with u that cheap phone means that it does not have a huge user base. In fact this phone has the highest userbase because maximum people have tasted android via Galaxy Y and Galaxy Pocket. Hope u don mind all that. Thnx once again for ur valueable feedback.

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!!
Hi I'm trying to find a phone to suit me.
170g + is just too heavy - feels like a brick in the trouser pocket.
Can anyone recommend a phone 140g or less? Or else is there a site where I can search for phones by weight and other specifications?
thanks

Thread closed as we already have two great threads for this topic linked above.

My note 4 has reached it's end of life for a multitude of reasons, mostly due to being dropped too much. I've very much enjoyed it for the last 2 years.
While I do not wish for this to be another "what's better thread" I know some of you are much better versed with the current smartphones with the best internal components for the money. So far I've come across the pixel XL, HTC 10, and the Mate 9.
Budget isn't a concern, nor is carrier as I'm sure what I'm looking for has multiple radios. I just want to know what to buy and flash so I'm not wasting time reading reviews and looking through development forums.
tl;dr I want another 5.5-6 inch screen phone with the same 4k screen and camera capabilities, as well as the best processor and ram in its class. Aftermarket ROM development is also an important factor. Pixel XL is looking the best so far.
much appreciated

Hi,
I won't delete it, but I will take care of some housekeeping.
Thank you, and thread closed.
(sorry if this doesn't belong here... wasn't sure where to put it)
The inlaws are looking to get their first smartphone (they're currently still using flip phones!).
They want something they can get pics of and vid chat with the grandkids.
Despite my advice that they get the best phone they can afford now since they likely wouldn't be upgrading for quite some time, they insist on getting the cheapest possible option that will do what they want.
That said, while I'm on VZW myself, I don't really keep up at all with the lower end phones... I have no idea what phone(s) in this spectrum would be the best for them.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to the best free/super cheap VZW phone for them? I want them to stick with Android (rather than apple) since that's what I know and can therefore best help them if/when issues arise.
Thanks!!
