first for what launcher should I use on my s7

i was thinking trebuchet

also does rooting to install xposed fuck up an s7? I heard it ruins SPay

pixel, followed by the S7

Nova+android n theme+goodlock.

Okay, so I'm on Sprint, which is archaic and none of the chink phones work on their network, so I'm stuck with limited options, but a fairly large budget. Is the Galaxy s7 a completely shit buy? Or should I get some cheaper phone like the Moto G4. Biggest concerns for me are needs a micro sd slot, needs to be decently large screen.

Zuk Z2 or Redmi 4 Pro?

Unless you play gayms, G4 will feel as fast S7 because it's running stock instead of lawizz.

Yeah, I mostly use my phone just for messaging, watching movies n shit, so I don't need that much proccesing power. Plus the moto g4 is $400 cheaper, I'm thinking of going with that

R4P for that amazing battery life

Both Samsung S8 and Moto G5 are being announced soon so I'd wait unless you really need a new phone right now

Yes, if you're rooted you cant use Samsung Pay. Also rooting voids your warranty.

There's no way to use xposed without rooting, is there?

Really want to have youtube adblock

Not possible, use a modified youtube app or

I just want to hold my phone one-handed and not get carpal tunnel

A new phone.

Shit software, great audio.

Looking for a new phone. Basically a normie when it comes to this shit, currently using a 3-year old One M8. No real budget. I only really use my phone for calls, texting, email, phoneposting, music, and movies. Looking for something with a decent screen, good sound, expandable memory and no intrusive "features" I'll need to disable. Oh, and it NEEDS mhl support.

Any suggestions?

Hello /spg/

Know that I never bothered learning about anything smartphone related since I never had the need for one.

requirements:
screen-size range from 4" to 4"5 (mostly something not gigantic)
long lasting battery
can be used as a phone (ie send sms)

preferences:
that USB-C thing is pretty nice
can run the steam appli si I can sold my 0.04€ card(the reason I want a new phone)
eventually micro sd port
[spoiler]if it can easily install cracked application it's a plus, though not necessary[/spoiler]

I live in France and currently with the SFR carrier
budget range from 0 to 150€

My current phone for references:
nokia.com/en_int/phones/nokia-130


Thanks

that fucking thing died on me a week ago.
Guy at the shop said the battery was the only thing that survived and couldn't understand what happen to the rest

MHL as a feature has been abandoned by phone manufacturers so there's a very limited amount of phones available with it
gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2015&sFreeText=MHL

Had it nearly a year and it's been great

I've owned a blackphone 2 for about a week now, AMA

...

Have I been memed on? What does the region setting even do?

When you want to sell a card on steam, it takes 15 days before your card is effectively put on the market unless you use the phone authentificator

try english lel

>Region
>English
wow very smrt

Get a Moto G4 Play or one of the Lumia phones

if it doesn't have UK, the logical step is to search information instead of complaining.
you probably have a vendor's ROM, go to their site and flash a more recent ROM.

Any all metal, usb c phones coming out?

Sick of this glass meme. Want a next gen metal phone

Should I get an LG v20 or an s7 edge?

HTC 11, OP4

Alright, well any recs ignoring the MHL thing?

I guess it sets the time and language.

v20 if it didn't bootloop

>tfw amazon still doesn't have the x compact in stock
reeee

Is the pornhub app safe to use?

Nope, was asked for language before region.

Stop masturbating. You'll need your testosterone when the commies come to seize the means of production.

if you like being watched

I'm thinking of ordering a Redmi Note 3 Pro 2GB. What's a good ROM to flash it with?

WHERE THE FUCK CAN I FIND A MI5 IN BLACK WITH 64/128 GB STORAGE REEEEEEEE

kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-mi5-64gb
kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-mi5pro-4gb-128gb-ceramic

LineageOS or Resurrection Remix, also I strongly recommend getting the 3GB version

Moto G4 / G4 Play should work just fine for your use

Are there any drawbacks to the G4 Plus?

Wait for the Mi S

theverge.com/2016/7/11/12147782/moto-g4-plus-review-android

I've been using a lg g2 for the past 3 years, it still works fine but I think it's time to upgrade.
I'm looking for used/ second hand phones, older flagships.
what should I be looking for?

>trusting iVerge reviews
Strange how every single other review online on the Moto G4 is positive

lg g6 maybe
and sony is going to bring 5 phones to mwc, 1 or 2 should be metal.

I wish I could get a meme chinkphone

Opinion on phone skins?

Should i get a dbrand?

iPhone 6S or Moto Z?

Redpill me on the Google pixel.

Assuming unlimited budget is this the best phone available?

I'm not remembering, is the chink botnet all at the level of their preinstalled OS? As in, Lineage would make it usable?

Thoughts on a Huawei P8?

I have HTC one M8 w/ Sprint. I have option in settings for 'wifi calling'. is that the same thing as VO-LTE???

is the htc one m9 any good?
can get one for 200usd.
never had a smartphone before.
pls respond

Is there an official list of device getting lineage somewhere? Although looking at stats.lineageos.org/ it doesn't look like my phone's going to get support.

Can someone please rec an offline music player for samsung?

Moto Z or S7 Edge?

Why?

Phones that currently have official builds
download.lineageos.org

Don't know if there's a list of the phones they're planning to add

You could check their list of github repos

>HTC 11
??

So is there still no good Nougat ROM?

Yes

androidauthority.com/major-smartphone-releases-2017-746078/

So what do you guys think about the LG g6 leaks

...

I just #bendgate my old moto x.
Need to cop new phone assap.
I can get a Huawei honor 5x for about 150buckaroos, moto g 4gen is like 230 here.
Want a chep phone that werks.

nop

About to buy Axon 7. Any reason I shouldn't?

I've had my Moto G1 for 2 years, about to replace it with something higher end since I actually have a job now. What should I do with it? Amazon will only give me $11. It doesn't have any real issues, it's just kind of old.

SE

What are the cons of the zuk z2?
What's the catch?

>pretty good rom support for a chinkphone
>flagship specs
>excellent DAC
>USB type C
>zui actually looks nice (if anyone here uses it please let me know how it is)
>5 inch comfy form factor
>above average battery life

Only things I've been able to fault it for in reviews is
>camera not so great at indoor and low light shots
>screen goes up to 430Nits brightness, not the best in direct sunlight
>no SD slot

Is the single button difficult to get used to? I really interested in buying this phone since you can't really get anything better for the price.

Bought a g4 today w/ 2 hour delivery

As much as Apple's security is great, I like the chance to make it actually effective.

What's the point of the USB type C?

Oneplus 3T, Moto G4 or Axon 7?

then just sell it on ebay/swappa

3T

quora.com/What-are-the-advantages-of-a-USB-Type-C-cable

What's Daydream like? Is it a waste to not get it if I have a compatible phone?

overheats if you use the camera app for more than 15-20 minutes at a time and on graphic intensive games

I picked mine up off Swappa (64GB/4GB RAM model) for $200 though, so I can't complain

Oh fuck me, the dual camera+flash on the back that looks like a kissy face was real, sasuga LG.

It also overheats if you play 1080p videos either on youtube or MX player (anime bd rips in my case) and i already got the famous burn in issue on mine (youtube notification icon burned on the status bar), luckily it's a semi easy fix (root, calibrate colors, use some app to leave the color blue slightly higher than the other two then either pretend the bluish screen doesn't bother you and stay on stock nougat or slap a custom rom+kernel on the phone to over/underclock, run the app again, pray the burn-in dissapears, underclock slightly and tweak the colors again to return the screen to normal), but then again for 4400 MXN- 210 USD i couldn't really complain since my old iphone 4s was a piece of shit, it's a shame my country doesn't sell the models other than the 2/16 one, i feel the better camera and fingerprint sensor don't justify the extra 21 dollars over the 179 USD Moto G4 or even the 120 USD Moto G4 Play.

Octacores are a total meme, let's hope motorola doesn't fall for them again.

Oh wow good advantages for a laptop. Now, what's the use of a type-c for phones? Inb4 muh 100 watts.

Oh wow must be difficult living without any search engines. How did your dumbass find your way here?

There are no real advantages to type C on phones unless you're a retard, that shit would be better put to use on headphones but whatever.

Anyone have the G5 here? Got some questions.

This is the global ROM. Identical version was posted on XDA on 2017-01-13.

It's a screensaver. Do you need a screensaver on your phone....?


I use it on my android TV box so the TV displays the time and date, but I don't want a fucking screensaver on my phone. The screen goes off.

It's also the name of their VR platform but ok

I meant the VR device. What is the Daydream VR device like?

>What is the Daydream VR device like?
And does it have any cool apps?

Greetings Sup Forumsents, a quick question to the knowledgeable. Considering buying a Xiaomi Mi Max (I have fuckhueg hands, so the size is not a problem).

Is there any other similar phone that I might be unaware of which would be a better choice? The specs I'm most interested about are:

5.5 to 6.4" screen
ac Wireless
Infrared
Not-so-important-bonus: 4k and slow-mo recording.

Nope, that's the best phablet available and it's pretty cheap too, it makes for a nice tablet of sorts to read manga and watch anime/movies on it, games/emulation are also okay in it if you use your ps4/bluetooth controller otherwise it's uncomfortable to play anything other than DS pokemen games, angry pirds and casual shit on it.

Thanks for the reply, user.
