This is a good device
No, it's not. Take it from a guy who has worked with an L3 II, owned an L7 II and upgraded to Nexus 5X. Even an K10 2017 would be a better choice.
Either use the available CM11 for L3 II, or buy a new phone. Low-end/budget devices today have atleast 1-2GB of ram and a decent quad-core cpu. The L3 II isn't up to running current apps as they develop towards more powerful hardware. Besides, the whole Lx II series forum is kind of dead.

Hello,
I'm looking to buy a new phone but I can't seem to find a decent choice of armv7 devices available in the United Kingdom. I basically want to replace my ZTE Crescent with an armv7 phone that has a 3.5-4" screen and a decent community behind it so it must have root access, custom recovery and a few roms available.
So far, I can only find the Huawai Ascend G300, does anybody know of any more devices available in the UK under £150?
Thanks
is the lg o2x available? lgp990

i know, but it is in the price range
and ics was ported to it from what i remeber, also an active acommunity available.
Is there any chance Galaxy Note II Multi-Window to be ported to other phones like Sony xperia, lg optimus, etc. Is there any posibility to be ported for amrv6 (impossible??).
I think its possible cuz in the end its just a apk... but:
-not all phones have the screen size of the galaxy note
-not all phones have as much ram and cpu and gpu as the galaxy note II
in the end its not that usefull either on the note cuz its not the same thing as on a pc.. on a phone, multitasking like switching apps is enough..
This is only my idea... if someone is working on it or things like that well.. good luck and happy development..
Hi everyone!
Some time ago I bought my current device (SGs3 i9300) and unfortunately I discovered too late that the international version was absolutely not CM-fliendly because of the exynos cpu.
So now I'm selling it and I want to buy a device absolutely CM-compatible.
I have already identified 2 device within my budget that are officialy supported:
LG Optimus 4X HD
and
Sony Xperia T
What, in your opinion, is the best supported device?
If they are both perfectly supported, between them what's the best?
Is there another good phone in the same price range that i'm missing?
PS I live in europe so i need a device that I can find here.
Thank you to everyone!
Get a nexus device instead of either of those you mentioned.

Qualcomm processors is your best bet, no matter which phone... Just make sure it's a new one...
Hi, I can get a deal offer for the s3 at the price of $233. But I have some questions
Is it still worth getting the galaxy s3 in 2014?
WIll it get official android L from samsung (there is already official kitkat right?)
if there's no official android L, does it have official Cyanogenmod support and so will it get android L cyanogenmod?
for future android L custom roms , will there be problems with some drivers? (e.g. my htc desure never got proper camera support on android 4.X roms as the drivers are not available). Are all drivers(and source code) released by samsung for the s3?
how does it compare with the galaxy s4? is the latter worth the price difference
how is camera (important for me) as compared to smarphones in the same price range available today (e.g. xperia sp, galaxy s4 mini)
thx for your time reading my long list of questions and waiting your replies and suggestions guys. Thx
No, no and no, yes and unlikely, yes and no, s4 is better but not by much, camera is good but only on stock rom.
is camera bad on custom roms? and there's no cyanogenmod official support?

1) Absolutely no for the only 1 GB of RAM.
Actually on Amazon is very sold its Neo variant with 1,5 GB, but according to me it's a madness: a newer hardware is highly preferable and x64 architecture is coming.
2) Absolutely no and you are wrong: no KitKat official support for S3, why it should be extended to Android L? It's impossible!
3) Yes, it's promised by Cyanogen team, but never more the bull**** did with CM 10.2, working of course on a stable rom to switch to CM 11 nightlies as soon as possible.
When CM 11 stable is released, you can stay on CM 12 nightlies.
4) Samsung drivers are already released for custom rom, except for the 2-way call recording.
CyanogenMod prefers to use the hybrid and open source drivers, but with a specific BOEFFLA kernel, actually experimental, you can get the official and proprietary drivers, much better than first.
5) Galaxy S4 is obviously greater than S3 under any aspect, its price is about €300-350.
6) S3 has an excellent camera, but in AOSP roms it's not provided of a good stabilization, so pictures are a bit more moving than in stock rom.
Yup I know there are better hardware (obviously.. it is 2 yrs old) but for the price of $233 is it worth it? I don't want to spend more than $300 on a phone.

will check this out... if the community of custom roms is active (but 5.5" is a bit too big for me and i hope it has sdcard and removable battery)
edit: are you sure it is better than the S3? looking at the specs, it does not look that great and it's a mediatek cpu ... )

I don't know the Mediatek reputation, LG G Pro under many aspects is the ideal phone for your budget.
On Amazon.it its price is about €250, I think less on a bigger store such Amazon US or DE.
As me you want to root the device and flash a custom rom... LG is the only trademark who guarantee warranty also under root permissions.
Please can someone get me the quaraqumus QS-i9300-KK-v2.6 resumable link
I have some questions about the LG Optimus L9 II
is the battery removable?
is the 4GB storage enough? can i move apps to sd card?
does it support OTG?
is it likely to get Android L update or it's too old?
how is gaming performance? is it the same as other mid range devices like LG G2 mini, galaxy s4 mini or moto G?
is bootloader unlockable?
in general, how do you find your LG L9 II?
thx in advance for your time and replies

Yes, battery is removable.
Yes, 4gb is enough. You can't move apps to sd card after update to kitkat, but there is a fix for that. Look up in the forum.
Bootloader is not unlockable in kitkat (as i know and read on this forum), but you can downgrade it to JB (struggling with that at the moment...).
If I could change it to another phone, I would. But it is because of the messaging bug i have (and other people from Lithuania and Czech republic). Other than that - a great mid range smartphone.
