I have 2 options for a phone rn.
The G5 and the S6
and both cost the same here
The reason for my confusion is that:-
The G5 has been reported to have bootloop issues like its predecessor the G4
And that it's quad core as compared to the S6 that is octa core
Are there any other issues with either of these?
Issues related to software matter but not too much as I'm planning to install a custom rom on either anyways but do mention em please
what should I get then?
Thanks in advance

I was wondering about z5....but so many people are compaling about that device. And I have had a z5 in my hand, and it took awfull photos (low light). I was breaking my s6's back panel, BUT I re purchased the s6 yesterday again. I have tried the 6.0 with it, and looks promising ( I love the manual camera shutter sped control).
come back. this is a cheap device already, ($300-350), and there is non better on the market what have this huge amount of features like s6 (with 6.0 )
Why would you go back to a device where your main issue is the OS? That's just wierd.
Get a Nexus if you want AOSP.
The CM13 you are referring to in your OP is a TEST build and should NOT be used as a daily driver. Bugs, things are broken / not working.
Sounds like you might wanna research some other phones / brands before jumping back to a device your not comfortable with IMO.

im asking what about new firmwares, have them fix major galaxy s6 issues like ram management?
Samsung will release the gs6' sourcecode after the marshmallow release. This will make the custom rom community much more effective. Looking forward
Edit @renolzSry: I meant kernel sourcecode

Link to this statement please? I only heard they will be releasing the kernel source code like they allways do.
Cheers!

I'm going to buy a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910L. I just wanted to know if it's possible to root the MM version of this particular variant, also if there's any custom ROM available for this variant.
The reason I'm asking this is because I recently bought a LG G4 H818P and found out that the MM version of that phone isn't possible to root yet and also there isn't any custom ROM available. So, I downgraded it to LP, but there are a lot of bugs, very very bad battery life. So now I'm bound to switch to another phone and found that Note 4 is the one that meets my budget and requirements.
Any advice is very much welcomed. Thanks in advance.
Hi there. I am new here. So I am planning to buy a new Android phone. Not that much expensive. So anyways I found 2 suitable phones for me and they both are different brands. So the first one is the Samsung galaxy Grand prime 4G with 1.5 GB ram (SM-G531F) and the second is the Lenovo K4 note 4G with 2GB ram.
Ofcourse in the specs wise the lenovo k4 note is better than grand prime, but I want a phone with almost no hanging, good loud speakers and long lasting. Lenovo is a chinese brand, that makes me more confusing about the quality. And I cannot find a satisfied answer anywhere. So which one do you suggest me to buy? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you:laugh:

Hi! First I want to tell you that you shouldn't buy a Samsung phone if It's not the S6/S6 edge S7/S7 edge/Note 7. They are always really bad phones with 0 lasting and 0 specs. Second: What's the screen size you'd love? And: How much do you want to spend? Then I could help you to choise the best phone for you.
Bye!
Hi all,
I have got a few questions for a GALAXY S7 owners
I havent got time for customizing again everything from my LG G2 ROM, and I guess original ROM from S7 will be slower and slower with time, even on such a new phone like S7. So it would be great to have same ROM, I mean CM13.
1. Which ROM is the best for S7? Have we got stable CyanogenMod ? with working original camera and dual pixel feature ?
1.1 Is there any poll on the forum/ internet with votes which ROM is the best? That would be very good illustration what is the best choice.
2. exynos and snapdragon - which version should I buy here in UK?
3. Is ROOT a problem for a galaxy s7? I will need to root my phone definitely.
4. What should I consider when buying, the new one and used one ?
My LG G2 is really super fast with CM13 ROM + xposed and tweaks, but I am running out with space and there is no microsd slot + phone is plastic, galaxy has got dual pixel and f 1.7 lens which is much better.
I am still not sure if shold I update just because of this 3 points (space, plastic and camera).
Thanks for help:good:
anything ?
1,1.1 Head over to the development forum for roms. Usually the threads with most replies and views are an indication of which roms are most popular and that have good dev support. No CyanogenMod for this phone.
2,3. You can only get root with Exynos phones at this stage
Hey, I came here to get some help about some questions I have.
I'm from Mexico and im bout to buy a S7 SM-G930T apparently from T-Mobile (where I live T-Mobile doesnt exist obvios..). Anyway can you guys solve this questions I have?
1.- Is this model of this company has the bootloader locked? Cause I want to be able to install custom roms and root without any problem. If not, Can i unlocked it?
2.- Can you remove the bloatware? You know, those extra applications added by the company
3.- This model has Snapdragon instead of Exynox. How about general performance, games, apps, general system with android 7.0?
4.- What about the camera? I have a S6 with 16 megapixels and the S7 has 12 megapixels
I'd love to get answers to this questions, thank you. Also id like to hear you opinion about this phone, is it worth it? or do you have issues with?
