I'm using a Galaxy SII but as you know, it is pretty old for today. Now the question is:
-Is there any phone like SII which have that much big DEV Com.m for today? I want to customize every little detail to my pleasure. Is that possible like old days?
The thread got closed since there already is a phone recommendation thread. Please use that one.

Hey guys, I'm just wondering what the stablest, most vanilla ROM for the HTC One S is. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus that recently died on me, so I picked up the One S while is was on sale for $180. I'm trying to get this phone as close to stock Android as possible. I've done flashes before, and I'm fairly competent at following tutorials, so that shouldn't be much of an issue. There are just an overwhelming amount of ROMs by different developers that I don't know which to pick.
Moved to Q&A as this is a question. Closed as best ROM threads are not allowed.
I am looking to buy a phone for my dad... and I wanted to ask.. Should I buy Samsung Galaxy S5 or the OnePlus One?
Really need your advice...
Thanks in advance

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

Hello all. I am unsure if this question belongs in this sub-forum. I have been through the QUESTIONS DO NOT BELONG IN GENERAL post, but i think this is not a Q&A.
So the reason i have this question is that im at a standstill. I was set to buy the Nexus 6, but the size and price made me change my decision.
Anyway, now i have rethink and im undecided between the Nexus 5 and the Oneplus one. The main reason im undecided is related to roms and software.
By looking at the N5 sub-forum here in XDA i see thousands of posts when compared to the OPO. I am worried that even though being a bit less heavy spec-wise the N5 might keep more developers working on it then on the OPO. Therefore more roms and software for the future.
Related to hardware i know the opo has better specs. Rounding up the HW differences what makes me undecided between the two is the RAM and the better battery life.
So iam currently stuck between these two phones and ill have to make a decision soon, i will be buying one of these in about two weeks.
Thank you for everyones help.
Best regards
you can go for samsung note 4 it`s so good
personally, between those two, I'd go with the Nexus 5 (just barely) for the exact reason you said: dev support.
Now if it was Nexus 6 and Oneplus One, I'd go Oneplus no question because of the price difference yet great specs on the One.
not matter what ,if i want to buy a new phone ,i will buy the latest
model for certain brand,if the latest model cannot satisfy my needs with their
price or size ,i will go for the latest model of other brand .that is my suggestion,
guessing samsung latest model is good .

The One Plus One is an exceptionally good piece of kit for the price and runs cyanogenmod which is a fantastic OS
Hello everyone and thank you for the replies.
I have decided to go with the One, i have been going through lots of forum posts lately reading from persons who changed from N5 to One, and in the bigger picture most ppl are calling it a good decision and a improvement.
It seems to me that the N5 is really a good phone, and imo its a better looking phone then the One, but following all my readings, the screen and the Ram in the One make a solid improvement over the N5.
Regarding my biggest concern, the software devs, well im just going to have faith in the One community. :angel: The device already runs one of the most popular roms and i have recently found out that the One is a supported phone for the franco kernel.
All in all i think im doing a good decision.
Right now im crazily sourcing funds to buy it, while i wait for my invite...
Choose OnePlus , it's a monster .
I personally like the Stock Interface more than custom UI's .
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.

Did you really post this... did you even bother to read ANYTHING at all?! There is the EXACT SAME POST HERE
Mod Edit
Thread Closed - See Does Exynos = no custom ROMs? thread already started on this topic.

My contract is up in a few months and i wanna get a new one i currently have a Nexus 5. was thinking of the new N5 but its rumored to be the same but updated and not a real jump forward with the camera. i don't want a S5 i don't like the look of the M9. Was thinking of a Note 5 but idk how the camera is going to be. Any ideas
Hi, @android.4.0,
A much better and proper place for this question to be posted would be the designated device recommendation thread. If you re-post your question there, you'll almost definitely get more answers from people who know what they're talking about.
Thanks!
