Isn't it awesome that custom roms can come with devices
Do you ever think a rom like Paranoid or Cyanogenmod could be cold with a pre-rooted phone?
also, for a custom rom phone to be targeted (and sold) at British/American/English speaking country?
The cool thing is, according to cnet's bench mark tests, this phone is more powerful then the S3 or One x!!
I don't like MIUI particuarlly but the idea is pretty awesome
Pics =D
Also
There is a problem with this phone being sold in America/Europe
Unless i'm missing something obvious, the Xiaomi Mi-One was the first MIUI Phone with the Mi-Two being the second? Anyway, wish these could be bought here, and in English, as i really like the MIUI style and the specs are pretty decent. I'm not sure that i'd be confident in build quality or after-sales care though.
The concept of having a custom ROM phone is a bit moot with Android though. How is a HTC phone with Sense Android, or a Samsung phone with Touchwiz Android, any different from a Xiaomi phone with MIUI Android?
lol
Well, makes sense. I never heard of the one though. I still find it interesting how it is supposedly better than the one x or s3
Why would anyone buy a one x or s3 when this is cheaper (in China where it is sold)

Probably because being cheap is usually the opposite of quality and last-ability. Also, when my phone breaks I return it to my provider or manufacturer by giving it to the driver that brings me a new one the next day. Good luck doing that with one of these.

I guess because sense/wiz only comes with phones (in theory) whilst MIUI was first a ROM and I'm pretty sure is open source.
Men, maybe I'm just overexcited by a cheap powerphone
But do you think they OEM lock the phone, or is it prerooted or nexus like (in rooting method)?

hi,
Kaiser has been a disaster. I am tired of flashing Roms every other day.
Thinking of buying Treo Pro. I guess its got almost same specs as kaiser.
I just need to know if its being manufactured by those Taiwanese cheaters/Frauds. I don't want to use HTC Hardwares.
What about Imate do they manufacture their own phones?
Any info will help me make my life more simpler.
Tough luck man! Treo Pro is also manufactured by HTC!!!!!
See this - http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/9656/palm-treo-pro-review/
Anyway what is wrong with your Kaiser (or HTC)?? My Kaiser works perfectly fine
Indeed, I don't know what's wrong with the Kaiser. Some people flash repeatedly because they can't live without it and need their fix, but that's in no way necessary... I tried one custom ROM, liked it, and never flashed again in 6 months, and my device works just as I'd expect it to. Period...
HTC happens to make a fair amount of Windows Mobile hardware out there out the market. Sorry to tell you that? Their hardware is actually superb, its the software implementation that you're complaining about(and which I can sympathize to a degree with you). The Android is coming out on T-Mobile relatively soon. You might take a look at that. HTC made still, but the software should be MUCH nicer than Windows Mobile.
I need hardware as good as Nokia

I have go myself a Treo Pro. I also grew tired of the kaiser issues;
Camera
Video
Keyboard
GPS (on 6.1)
If anyone would like me to compare the two in specific tests, let me know soon before this Tilt is sold.

We all know a Motorola device received KitKat even before Nexus users, here we see a purported Sony Xperia running Android 4.4.2, which is newer than even found on the Nexus 5 .
Is this the reason we bought Nexus? How unfaithful Google could be.

Most probably it's fake. Esp. the lighter 2 in the end of 4.4.2.

Fake.
Obvious fake.
Insult? Wtf is wrong with people these days. Clearly, its fake.

If you look closer that picture than you see that the font of the number 2 is not the same whit the rest so FAKE.
P.S. i saw some galaxy S3 clones and it said 4.2.2 but it was definitely gingerbread
Yeah, it looks fake.
This elitist attitude by some Nexus users is annoying. I thought that was supposed to die out with the Samsung fanboys when Google stopped updating for the Galaxy Nexus.
You're already getting good value for the price you pay. Why are you whining that Google is releasing (or helping to release) version updates faster for other devices, isn't that a good thing for the Android ecosystem. Is it necesary to have the latest version only for yourself to validate your self-worth and feel superior to others because you have a device with a unique brand name?
Can mods lock this thread please?
Also, now you know to not read news from GSMArena.
What does this have to do with last year's Nexus?
Even if it's not fake, it's unreleased and it's an incremental update. Who cares?

Let's see the modded back of hTC One M8 trying to be alike hTC 10
The story begins since the phone felt down and got some scratch, and soon he realizes he has to do something and with the inspiration from newest hTC flagship, he had spent more than five hours to make hTC One M8 back looks alike our newest, hTC 10. So surprising !
Work done by a Vietnamese hTC Fan and he called it's a hTC 18

Neat.
What tools did he use? It actually gave me an idea to polish my whole, scratched up phone.
he was asked to provide the instruction video already, since it's available I will post for your reference

i too wanted to do something about my scratched htc one m8, i tried engraving something at the back. ended up ruining it more.
Buying another phone is not an option. am open to any cool mods on the phone.

Looks like op won't answer about how this was done.
So if you don't want to risk ruining it even more and got few coins to spare i recommend you wraps from dbrand.com
Ugly just like htc 10
lol)))
i kinda like it
Daaaaaaaaaamn
Went to Best Buy to check out the existing phone lineups. Anyone else find the current handset lineups to be lacking and uninteresting?
I'm sticking with my OP5 for the foreseeable future it looks like. I'd love to see a new handset that has the feel/quality of the Nexus 6 again.
I have a OP3T and a OP5 and wouldn't trade either of them for any new phone on the market. If it were up to me OP would just release a new 3T every year with updated internals until the end of time.

Thanks, but I was just looking to express that nothing since the OP5 has really been interesting as a device. I'm not looking for advice on what to buy.
agreed.
I really like the front fingerprint scanner for desk work. (6T got it in the front, but need to wake up the device first).
I really like offscreen nav button, imo its the ''android'' signature.
3.5 mm for my ath-m50 s.
I mean yeah, I wont change it until its too slow. and money its not a issue.
I'm trying to reduce my consumption, and the OP5 was the best back then. Pretty sure it will remain fast even if its 5-6 year old.
My best smart phone was the desire Z from HTC. 2010 to 2015. What a piece of tech. Change it since 364 mb ram wasn't enough to run google maps anymore.

I would love to know everyone's opinion that is currently running Android 12 beta 5. I'm getting the best performance and battery life of just about any phone I've ever owned but this is also my first Pixel device. I also find the UI of Android 12 to be quite striking and a bold move in the right direction for Google. I will upload some screenshots of my benchmarks and device set up for those who are on Android 11 and curious about the beta's performance/aesthetic. Anyone else on this firmware please feel free to leave your thoughts/impressions/concerns in this thread.

agree, I like it as well. Although, I think the 5a could be just a little bit faster. Sometimes it's a little sluggish. But I am spoiled by S21Ultra and OnePlus8 Pro which I don't have anymore. The battery life is stellar. Sometimes I get through 2days before I have to start charging.
cheers

What happened to your OnePlus and S21 Ultra? Just curious.. I can relate though my previous phone was an LGV60 so I understand about the speed.. this is my first "Mid-range" device but I have to say aside from the speed/processing power of the V60, I think this Pixel 5a is superior in every other way. I'm definitely excited to see what kind of developmental support we'll be getting as more people get their hands on the device. If its already this good on stock android, I can't wait to see what this phone can do on a custom ROM.

I sold my OP 8Pro to buy the S21 Ultra. That was my downfall....
there is a long thread here that explains what happened to me with horrible Samsung Support story. Bottomline, screen had manufacturing problem and it took me 4 months to get my money back and it involved the consumer court.
I really like the 5a, don't get me wrong. It runs the latest Android, which I would not be able to do on the OP 8Pro or the S21 Ultra. The camera is wonderful. The sluggishness is mostly due to the fact that I got so used to >90Hz refresh rates.
cheers
What to expect and when ? And are we going to see 4.1 like we did with beta 2&3.
