Hi guys,I bricked my old optimus one p500 . Planning to buy a new android within tight budget (10k approx)
Preferences would be a fast processor, decent camera,good battery backup and most importantly a good xda forum support ,recovery,roms,mods etc
I have always followed this forum for any customizations and development guides. Hoping the senior devs, moderators can help me decide !

welll....I heard a lot about both canvas and canvas HD but I'm not sure about its scope in customizations. How about its custom recovery, roms and mods? I would hate to use the stock rom without any personalization and mods.
to all the senior devs and moderators ,any updates on their customizations??
and guys, Thanks for helping me with this!

On which device? Many low-end and high-end devices can run CM9/10.

I have Micromax A56. It's a local brand. It has 256 MB RAM and 800 MHz Qualcomm Scorpion processor.
Show some respect dude it's not a local brand it's the only Indian company making smartphones
And there are no requirement s as such just a jb or ics kernel should be available and decent 250 - 300 ram to make it work

Yes ICS JB can run on your device
But micromax has not released kernel sources.

I'm thinking about buying xperia sola. I come from xperia 2011 community where 100's of ROM's are available. I want to know the dev support on this device. also info about jelly bean ( IS it available? if not, then any future possibilities?)
Jelly will not be officially available.
It might be ported once it gets released for Xperia P.
If you are okay with the JB issue, you can buy the phone. Its an excellent device. You can also consider buying Xperia P

Xperia P is a bit more expensive but I'll see if I can get my hands on a used one. Is 512 MB RAM enough with dual core processor? My single core xperia mini lags a lot with ICS and JB

No. It's not enough, firstly it will fly, but after installing a bunch of apps it will start lagging bla bla bla, so go ahead and buy 1gb ram phone
Sent from my MT27i using Tapatalk 2
i have used xperia sola for 5 moths (UL bootloader and root), imo this device is handle daily job (sms, call, whatsapp, etc) not so good. lag after you install too many program especially when someone call (need 2-3 seconds for the answer display appear), but overall (gaming, music, browsing) is good. and FYI 512 MB ram only accessible around 384 MB by the device, so don't expect it too much
If u don't care about having the latest software then its worth the buy. Because anything beyond 4.1 is uncertain.

For me better you buy a phone that have at least 1 gb ram..i have used xsola for 5 month and my review is it cannot handle daily app like whatsapp facebook and etc smoothly....512mb ram is not enough...

FXP release cm9.1 rom at weekly pace, quite good dev support
But, I have lost faith in sony mobile cause my sola has random hang/reboot issue.
Still I'm not sure about the reason, maybe hadware/RAM/NAND, maybe carrier/SIM, maybe software.
It's a pretty good looking, and UI well designed, but I plan to buy a Lumia to replace it.
Just FYI.
The phone is nice.. not as bad as the above repliers. I used stock rom, eXperience v2, CM 9 based, and now Project GX v2.1. IMO The last one really stood out. I have installed many apps inlcluding Currents, Fb, Fb mssger, TOI, Pulse, Flipboard and half of them stay on my Homescreen. Still no lag. Much better roms will come out.
Otherwise there is always the HTC Desire X.
the incoming call will lag when you are playing games or surfing internet.
I faced this problem.
And i got a missed call cause the answer the call didn't show up and my phone ringing but i can't do anything... :/
others ok,this phone not bad.
if you want better go for Xperia P or Xperia L (latest)

My Sola runs daily tasks quite well. I even play heavy games like NFS MW and GTA VC.
First thing, this stock ROM is ****. The lag in Call and messaging app is because they are inefficient and bulky.
Use other ROMs, eXDialer, Junk cleaner script, and everything's going good.
I usually get 100 mb free Ram.
Ps. One thing. I always keep FB frozen when not using. In titanium backup

dont ever go for a phone that is not based on snapdragon SoC. Check before you buy. Dont repeat the mistake that I did. Cause none of the soc manufacturers provide support like qualcomm does. put in a few extra bucks and you wont repent later

Nope s2 plus gpu I.e. videocore 4 .. is as powerful as mali400mp4
My nenamark2 score is pure 60fps... while s2 original score is abt 56fps..
S2 plus is based on braodcom chipset...and has almost no developer support..
Bt s2 plus has way btr battery life than s2...
Also newer chipset runs jb more smoother than exynos 4 series (comparing to my bro's note )
Camera quality is super awesome.. clicks within a second ... not unlike my xu that took atleast 4-5 seconds to take a pic...

I would recommend going for canvas 2. It's durable (friend's phone had fallen twice n the touch didn't shatter). Its got good development in terms of C'roms and kernel development, the only down side is it comes stock with ICS(though more battery friendly than JB in my opinion).

Keep in mind mediatek doesn't have many roms due to cyanogenmod. I wouldn't recommend it as I have a Canvas 2. It's a good phone, durable and has a active development forum considering mediatek chip but not for flashaholics.
If you would still like to buy one, go with Xolo Q800 or micromax canvas hd.
Xolo Q800 and micromax canvas hd have a smaller development community but are more powerful. Canvas 2 is less powerful but has a bigger development forum. (Xolo Q800 has a smaller community then Micromax canvas hd). The choice is yours' now.
Canvas HD and Xolo Q800 might get cyanogenmod 10.2 as fae2s is getting it which is also mtk6589 so go with either of these.
My preference would be Canvas HD

Canvas hd is seeing some development regarding kernel( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46372210#post46372210 )
Though mediatek will not release framework sources (maybe ever!) so original development such as CM or paranoid may not be available.
BTW if ur going for canvas HD most phones have been facing issues with faulty battery readings(the 30% to 10% drain) and flickering issues
make sure your phone doesnt have any of these issues before tweaking brother!

If you could wait it out you could go for xperia C bro, its got the same config as the canvas HD. The price should be around the same margin.
Last time I checked it was said to release in India mid october.
Have a xolo play with me but I would not recommend that even though the specs are brilliant i am facing too many problems with that.
SODs, flickering issues...
BTW the faulty battery reading does not affect actual battery life check out the SS, I get good on screen time even though i got the 30% to 10% drain, it doesnt bother me much.
Canvas HD is a good choice bro. Better go with micromax canvas HD it is a good phone
