I'm looking for a secondary phone primarily so that I can use it for playing around with custom Android ROMs. This means the phone must be cheap since I'm not super rich and can't spend lots of money on a secondary "toy phone". It also has to be supported by a bunch of ROMS, so that there is something to play with I don't really have an overview of the ROM world and that's why I'm asking for help here.
That's pretty much the only requirements that I have it definitely doesn't have to be a new nor well speced phone. Since the availability of second hand phones where I live obviously will vary I'd like as many suggestions as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it and keep it in mind. What ROMs are available for it? I can see that Cyanogenmod 9 is available for it. Thats nice!
Ok. So currently I'm mainly considering HTC Legend. There's a ICS rom available for it, and I can get it rather cheap 2nd hand where I live.
Any other suggestions?

Still, they are too expensive. Then I'd rather buy a HTC Desire which is slitly cheaper but still pretty decent with great moding support.

That's a good suggestion! I didn't know about that phone at all. But isn't it a bit underpowered? The resolution is pretty high for a low end phone but the processor is not that powerful? But I've found someone who's selling it second hand for a fair price which is most important. I might buy it.
Thanks to both of you! Any other suggestions?
Nexus One. still got a lot of dev support

Well, your only after a phone to mess around with right? so I don't think speed should be your main concern. Its decent, not terribly as slow as you'd think. The resolution is a killer. The screen is very vibrant, especially if you manage to pick up a AMOLED version. My brother has one of these, and he recommends it. Its got decent dev support too!

You're right. And I BOUGHT IT! I got it second hand for what would have been 82$ (converted from my local currency). For a Wildfire S or a Legend I would've had to pay around 120$. They are similarly speced except the Blade has a much better screen that is larger and with significantly higher resolution plus I got the AMOLED version For a Desire or a Nexus One i would have had to pay around 160$.
So all in all I think I made a very good purchase and thanks a lot for drawing my attention to this neat phone which should soon land in my mailbox! It will be a nice companion for my Xperia S which I have no intention of flashing.
Also having a ZTE phone is totally hipster! Now one in my country knows that brand.
There's a new phone to the L series. Looks kinda like the 4x but lower specs. The icons look good and has some handy new features...

I got this phone yesterday, it feel nice and good in hand. And it is surprising fast too.
Really like Quick Translator, did works good. Tried with some Swedish -> Thai. Just hope mods get kick on this phone so root will be available.
Would love to use Link2SD on it.
Cool device and I love it
Pretty old specs for a new phone :/
How much did it cost?
planning to buy one for 79euro with 10 euro contract ... it will replace the old faithfull galaxy s :crying: .... still emotionally attached to it, so it will be a hard time for me ... awaiting more feedback from those of you who allready bought it.. what about battery life ? thanks

That's because it was made as a midrange phone and not as a top end. Excellent for those who are loyal to LG products but can't afford the best of the best.

I personal love it very much, really like white version and it feel good in hand. Nothing special that I could come up with that is bad.
It have what you need, it look more expensive than it is hehe. Well downside I could come up with is camera, wish there was more MP but well look at the price, for the price this phone is really good. Oh one more thing, intern storage should have been larger, but if someone come up with root for this device you can easily use Link2SD.
Love battery life, it's excellent! It's so sexy XD

Hi all!
I'm an xperia x8 user with the basic (or some more) knowledge about Android. I really like MiUI, but my phone is weak to run a MiUI smoothly. Five or four weeks ago i saw Xiaomi M2' hw specs and price and found it awesome. My Q is: What do you think about this phone? Do you trust Xiaomi and shipping partners? (I wanna do)
Share your opinions please, I'll thank y'all.

I ordered from realpricesfromchina. Will let you know if I get scammed :laugh:
M2 looks really nice. So far this year I jumped from 4s > xperia s > one x > s3 > iphone 5 and now I want to go back to android. but i'm in love with MIUI and this M2 phone specs and looks are pretty good. Price is cheap for such a high end spec'd phone.

hey guys, I use the Xiaomi M2 and it is a great phone. It does not have google play on it but its easy to add and does not require root. The screen is crazy good (especially comparing to my Huawei Honor) and it's just so quick. I'm not a huge fan of MIUI but some really love it.
Anyway, despite the fact that it is currently sold out in china and unavailable for sale anywhere else, I got my hands on a few of those. So if you're interested you can contact me. I'll sell at same price as the website mentionned in the thread but you will not have to wait until March or something to get it and I can use paypal so that you are protected against fraud. I'm also a former powerseller on ebay and am selling in on eBay too but at a higher price to cover eBay fees.
Selling it for 450 on ebay, can do for 400 here.
I hope you don't feel it's a spam, I know how hard it is to get a hand on this phone...almost as hard as the N4...

Not a good deal.
I got mine in around 300 usd.
It ll be good if you can wait for oneplus 5
Imo check the new nokia smartphones running android. Not sure if they are available yet though, but they seem very promising. (Bottom line all devices don't differ greatly in their respective price categories, but Nokia is supp. offering regular updates regarding security patches, which is kinda yummy imo)
If you can get it for cheap then maybe. 400 no I wouldn't. If root and rooms your thing then no go. Development dien out Phone has quality issues as well. Like others have said above your better off with onePlus phone.
