Hello all, I hope you have a good day.
I am thinking to replace my LG G3 (32GB) with OP2 in few days, so I have some questions.
1- Oneplus in my country is not supported by customer services centre, so how much do I need them?
2- LG policy is too bad with drivers of some HW like camera so we have not good quality camera with custom ROMs, so what about policies for OP?
3- LG G3 will not be supported by nougat due to Qualcomm, so OP2 will have nougat support?
4- I like CM so I need custom ROMs on my phone.
please give me your opinion.
sorry for my bad English
and Thank you in advance.

My county don't have service center, and my fingerprint/home have failed several times but after some time always come back.... Many have reported this issue and a visit to service center is the right way.
Camera is good even on custom roms
Op2 will have nougat but who knows when... Soon.

Not once so far have i needed Customer Support at all, mostly every issue you might have is gonna be software as in if you flash something wrong or you soft brick which all solutions for that will be here in the forums. I've been using my OP2 since launch,personally if you want a camera that's decent I'd say fork out the extra cash if you can for the Op3 (OP2 camera isn't the best) but besides that you shouldn't have an issue, but check other websites to see if they ship to you because if your country isn't supported they might not ship. Also recognize it's GSM only so if you carrier is CDMA it won't work.
As for nougat support there is already development for out devs here for it and progress is made but it's just time to see if Cm14 and OOS 4.0 and it's completion. I don't see how its not supported but then again not sure

Thank you so much for you replies.
I would like to have OP3 but because my country doesnt support them and fees with shipping its price will be about 580$ ..
as I understood I dont need customer services and every issue related to software its solution is here.
If you were me what you will do?
thanks again

Hi, Tech Guys here!
I don't know if I'm posting in the correct category but I thought it would be the best way to decide here which device to buy. Yes, I've looked on various sites and reviews for the best mobile device out there. Surely, most of them would suggest any one of the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One and Xperia Z. Well, I've not found any review considering the development of the devices and I don't think I'd. Thus, I decided to post a thread here on XDA where I can easily get recommendation for it and can have my priorities considered by the techies here. At the moment, I own a Samsung Galaxy S II. The only reason I still love it is the continuous development for it. So, my kind request to all of you here is to help me decide the best phone out there - the budget is INR 40,000 ($ 800). Here are the priorities (decreasing order):
Obviously, Android! I don't want restrictions for using my own device. I want the possibility to tweak the settings. I want Custom ROMS, Apps or you can say everything what this site is made for.
The best development support - I think Samsung and Google are the best for it, no?
Battery Backup. It's fine if I can improve it noticeably with tweaks.
Storage
Hell outta performance. I was very disappointed for the reviews that said though having the best performance, S4 noticeably lags a much.
Screen with good contrast and colors. Size also matters.
I don't want to pay much for bloat.
I don't know why my heart is not letting me go against the S4. But I can make the same understand if I've your points here.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone.
I've also added a poll to vote for your choice.
s4 is great but one x is better suited for developing Android roms. Many roms are available for one x but s4 doesn't even have a official cyanogen

If I'm not wrong, it's S4 minus bloat?
That's what I can do with the help of xda! It would have been a cool deal if its price was less than the S4's

Get the nexus if it is for development. It is the only line that is fully supported by AOSP.

Well I have had a recent dealings with some of the devices from India and to be honest if it is for Development you may end up importing. Avoid Micromax and any of the OEM that import from China. Maybe the S3 maybe a good one or the S4 If the Nexus line is not available to you. Oppo Is also working hard with developers.

Yeah, I mean the device should've nice development support but the other stuff I've mentioned in the list also matters. I'll be comparing Nexus 4 with S4 (i.e. Researching...)
Hey Guys
just a quick question, how come the z2 doesn't have a lot of dev attention on xda? is it because it maybe isn't very popular or maybe there are other factors I haven't heard of?
Cheers
The device isnt popular and alot of roms are based on CM11 and AOSP
Official CM11 is in a unstable state so theres that
There is no AOSP port yet
The lack of popularity and price play a factor so official roms will come but not too many
Me my self im hoping for Ubuntu Touch
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think it might also be due to the fact the phone isn't readily available in the US? But that's just a guess
Yup, both the following posts nailed it. If you want amazing third party roms, nexus device followed up by sammy, HTC, Motorola, then lastly our beloved Sony lol.
It's still early...
Device is still new and you just have to wait few months more.

Silly question....
I'm undecided between the xiaomi mipad and the Nokia n1
.... I notice that there isn't any support on XDA for both tablets making my purchase decision difficult.
What's your take on this, im on the look for a 4:3 aspect ratio and 7.4 inch ish tablet size,should I look somewhere else other then those? Thanx
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
ive no personal experience with the N1, but i can say that ive really enjoyed my mipad. im impressed with the build quality.
i run the latest "global" miui rom rooted.
also xiaomi is expected to release the source code before to much longer.. which means 3rd party roms would be quick to follow.
What do u mean with GLOBAL ?

i bought mine from china (i live in the US) it came with a version of miui that had several Chinese apps that looked to do similar stuff to google.. and it didnt have any google apps. once i swapped to the global version of miui i really liked the tablet.
from miui.com you can download 3 roms
mipad china:
-developer
-stable
mipad global:
-stable
if you install cwm you can easily root any of them, if you stick with original recovery you can only root the developer.
also there are several developers in russia and india that are just waiting for source code to drop. and its expected to happen fairly soon (assuming mipad follows the general path of other xiaomi products)
Xiaomi seem taking their sweet time lol,is already one year old if I'm correct.
What is the path that usually they use for their phones regarding the code?

Xiaomi is usually hesitant to release the code, sometimes due to too much pressure created they may release all at once as happened in the beginning of this year with mi 3, mi 4, redmi note all code being released, except Mi Pad.
Lets hope Xiaomi releases it soon so that Lag Free Roms can be developed for this beastly device!
Back a few months ago, OnePlus promised to release the FP driver to the community to help out developers, what is happening ?
They are making the sensor work with the marschmallow API. So it will be supported in custom roms. They will never release the sources.

Too bad, because the FP sensor is also not made by OnePlus. So they just can't release any sources. The only hope we have is that someone back-engineers it...

the whole FP thing was the reason I stayed on oxygenOS for a good while, which I regret, once I switched to custom rom I was so much happier even without the FP. Now that was finally got android 6 roms hopefully we get FP soon.
In marshmallow it will work a lot better, in h2os beta works awesome, its toooooo fast!

That's because Google is kind of banned in China? and they don't want to use their API? Nah.. I don't think so. is it? okay I'm stupid.

Unlikely but wishful hoping you're reasoning is true. We all want OnePlus to use the standard API so that the device can be maintained easily by custom rom developers and groups.
This will expand the lifespan of the device and make people support and keep buying OnePlus devices.
You hear this ONEPLUS?

Hi guys and gals, was just wondering if our beloved Moto E 2nd Gen Surnia and Otus will see Android N 7.0, feel free to leave your comments in this thread, sorry if this is the wrong section, tried to pick the most suitable one, mods feel free to move to the proper section and send me a message so I know where to find it, thanks
<<PimpMy5Ton>>
I know we won't see official Stock Android N 7.0 but I'm wondering about a custom rom hopefully
It's a very unlocked device (with the exception of ATT and VZW models) with a very good spec to Price ratio and an active and skilled dev community. I'd say the odds are good.

I would have to agree. Being a Moto G 2nd gen user myself, and an Ontario Can. resident, I was quite surprised to see an actual official update to 6.0.1 [Wind Mobile] commencing just a few days ago, see my thread. It went from 5.0.2 when released a yr ago, and then an entire year of uncertainty and disappointment with Motorola [see thread: Motorola's failure to meet promises/updates] Then, 2 days ago, @ 1pm --> 6.01.!! With respect to the devs and community in general, I am more than impressed! Considering the phone is less than a hundred bucks, no matter where you are in the world, the amount that has been done and can be done is quite impressive! Mad love and respect to the community!!!

Yes. Official. 6.0.1 ... XT1527.
Anyone know what I need to do next? I d/l'd it, but did not install yet.
.
Am surprised and pleased at the same time too see a discussion thread already on Android N for this device. Having just started using the stable Cyanogenmod release I would be glad to see N someday down the line on the device.
The device is still an extremely good buy for the budget users, especially in the emerging markets. I see myself using the device as my daily driver for a year and a half down the line. The new lease of life that M has given it, I don't see a reason to switch to another device at this particular point in time. Plus, phones of this particular dimension are slowly disappearing off the market, which is not the best of developments, so, since someone like me only uses the device for communication, browsing, light social media, some pictures. Considering how media consumption on phones never really made sense to me, bigger devices never have either.
Well, we'll have to wait for CyanogenMod 14.

Actually RR is based on cm,so I doubt if RR team will start working on N without a cm release for surnia and otus,cause they need that cm base anyway.

What's the hurry with everyone getting impatient with wanting to know when CM14 will be releasted???
I'm lead to believe that we won't see any port of CM14 until N goes official, probably on September.
I can see a partial working port for surnia by end of the year.
I want to elaborate I'm no expert and i base my comments on what I've read here on XDA and other android sites.
Moto e second gen WILL NOT get an official port of N, full stop.
I'm hoping some of our esteemed developers may lend a word on their thoughts about this.
I started a thread asking this question as I couldn't find this one, and im glad I've found it and already we have a great discussion going.
As a side point, I still own and use a first gen moto e as my work phone, its running CM13 and people are also asking if that device will see CM14, nice to see the interest not waning!

Its not BS its a well known fact that RR is cyanogenmod based.
Your assumption that CM is garbage is based on you using a cyanogenmod ROM with some very good extras........
I think that's quite ironic and a little amusing!
While you are perfectly entitled to your opinion, and I respect your opinion, let me tell you that I'm a big RR fan and a current user, up until a few days ago.
Ive been using RR with no major issues right up until 5.7 came out.
I had major issues with the new release, and I'm not using it anymore because of a sudden and complete loss of my data, music, photos and contacts.
I now also have a corrupted and unusable SD card, my contacts have disappeared off Google, off the phone and my sim now doesn't even work, the contacts having disappeared off there too, its been a complete disaster [emoji27]
Read the RR for surnia thread and you will see I'm not the only person who's had this problem.
Something has gone majorally wrong with the update, and unfortunately I've now moved away from RR and back to CM13, and yes, it could have happened whilst using CM13 but it hasn't.
While I love RR nothing else just works like CM13, and I've never had a sudden loss of all my data or any major problems.
You can disagree and laugh at me, but to loose personal, important and special things in the blink of an eye and then take almost three days to get my surnia working again is putting me off re flashing RR.
I'm sorry if my rather passionate post was off topic, as you all can probably tell I'm annoyed and hacked off I've lost everything off my SD, and I did not have a back up because I had only had the SD card less than two weeks!
