ive came to the conclusion that i will not leave android... i currently have a galaxy nexus which is a gorgeous phone and i love it, i love the pure android experience and there's so many roms!!!!, and i love android 4.2.1 (now playing around with 4.2.2)
But my upgrade is now and i dont know what phone to get
Nexus 4? (not so different to the galaxy nexus in looks from the front)
wait for the S4 (im really impatient)
Sony Xperia Z?
HTC One X?
My question is which in your opinions is the best? and more customizable when it comes to roms?
and feels and looks great of course
Would really apreciate your help
I use my phone alot, and am always testing out new roms!
I think the S4 will be released next month or April at latest. I'd either get the N4 or the S4.

Hi guys
Here in Australia we have a network provider called Telstra that now uses 4G. I am due for an upgrade from my trusty HTC Desire.
I have decided that from all the phones out there it comes down to two phones, so I have come here today to ask what your opinions are on these models and which one you would recommend and why.
The phones are:
Samsung Google Nexus (Not 4G model)
HTC Velocity 4G
Don't get Nexus S as a upgrade, being stuck with it for 2 years is a bad idea, not sure on the other phone though

This is the Samsung Nexus and it only just came out?

You mean the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and he's talking about the Samsung Nexus S.

I'd go for the Galaxy Nexus over the Velocity 4G. The Velocity won't see Ice Cream Sandwich for a while, and when the next OS upgrade (Jellybean?) is released then the Nexus will get it first, way before the Velocity (if the Velocity gets it at all...)
Also the Velocity will kill it's battery very quick due to the 4G radio. If battery life is important to you then definitely get the Nexus.
It depends on your need. If you are a serious Android app developer, I would recommend you to get a Nexus family phone. It get less frustration to develop on an unmodified Android OS, than vendor modified Android OS.
Talking about battery performance and Display
galaxy nexus would give u batter battery backup and better display than Velocity 4G.
and talking about speed and internet Velocity 4G is far way better.
it has 1.5ghz dual core where nexus has 1.2ghz dual core cpu
check it yourself about speed and other stuff.
phone interface speed and looks are important, I do prefer pure android, I might have to test the difference in both phones speed within the UI.
I dont know the Velocity but i would go for the Galaxy Nexus cause it has a brilliant Display and good hardware

I don't know about you, but i'd stick with HTC.
Sense always beats ICS.

any other phones you guys know of? of the phones you listed, sensation is the cheapest on ebay. my budget is 200-300 usd. the samsung galaxy s 2 is too much $$.
Nexus S, CDMA model. Hands down.

Bada, Meego, Jolla ,Android, IOS & Symbian
What a Mixture
Boring, no transition effect and seems not so smooth even running at S III.
Such OS how to survive?

I guess the os isnt optimized, like bada.
I can run android at 400MHz on wave 1, smooth like on s3
but if i use bada at max 1GHz, it laggs like hell. (bada can only underclock)
Congratz Hero... I am using Turkyo CFW v9 for my wave dude.. Really great work man.. But I felt very bad when I read your words'' My final version of cfw'' . Now I feel very happy you ported tizen to Galaxy S3.. Did you successfully port Tizen to wave dude..?

Sorry to say. Actually Tizen to galaxy s3 was done by a Dev. Not "hero".
That is awesome. I really want this on my Nexus. But I cant dev worth a crap.
Hot to obtain one of these ?
After flashing over 15 different Roms and finding a stable one, I have become slightly bored with this device. I'm on mdk, any suggestions of could mods, exposed modules, or other hacks that can respark some fun?

Flash ME7 and unlock the bootloader :fingers-crossed:
I know how you feel. I bought the s4 mainly for its features, screen size and battery life also thinking development would be insane coming from the somewhat abandoned htc rezound. Turns out that it's not much better. This bootloader is really keeping developers away

If your on mdk there's plenty of ROMs to flash,I came from a galaxy nexus, there's not as many as it had but I wouldn't expect there to be its not a nexus, but there's plenty of ROM to choose from and, also y should they be 100 ROMs to choose from that does the same thing 15, 20 ROMs is fine, you got cm, carbon aokp illusion slimbean and more, then you got your ge based, and your tw roms , what else could you want

Be happy with what you get the ROMs are compiled out of the devs free time and they don't owe you nothing, or start compiling your own ROM and use it...

compiling your own rom is the next logical step.

Hello, I hope I am right here.
Last week I dropt my Nexus 4. I loved it except the fact that i cant remove the battery. I had Cyanagen Mod + Multiboot with stock 5.1.
So i decided to buy a new one that should have these features:
-removable battery
-an open source os available
-fast device encryption
-LTE
-good, fast connection in mobile network and wifi
Display >3,5
-Battery > 1500 mAh
the s5 is really good make sure if you get one buy a g900f g900t or g900p but not a g900a or g900v the g900v the g900v and g900a are locked down by too much security and are hard to work with
Sent from my iPhone 4s using Tapatalk I also own a g900v
hmm, looks good, but it seems that encryption doesnt work. https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/127526-encrypting-my-galaxy-s5-klte-cm13/"]https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/127526-encrypting-my-galaxy-s5-klte-cm13 Is it typical fo cyanagen mod that encryption doesnt work? Or are there any other ways to encrypt the phone?
Or can you recommend me another phone where encryption works?
encryption and custom roms normally don't play well together

It seems they dont have a great support of Cyanagen Mod. There are just some 14.1 nightlys.
You can buy Samsung galaxy J5 all features are available thats u wants....... and open rom are available
