i was a bout to get me a n5 but read the battery was not that good, so i had to pass. now am looking to get me a g2, but i want to know as of now wich variant has more rom support?? not talking aabout the international, i need to know wich usa company variant tmobile,sprint,at&t,verizon has more rom support so i can get me one of them.. thanks
by the way is there any way to unlocked carriier on our own we had the on the s2 .
You can check out how many posts in the LG G2 subcategory under xda and see for yourself which variant has more active participants. I personally would consider which variant is best for your network that you're going to use, and then consider if the community development support is enough. A lot of LG G2 ROMs seem to have multivariant support.

hello
i have my note 2 with me and tonight or tomorrow ill buy the s4 ,
but i dont know witch model to get , a lil confuse
in my area got a 4g support but i dont care much about it so its not big deal with me if i get the lte support one or not
what i care about is the roms , kernels supports (Samsung base )
so will the i9500 will be good in terms of roms dev etc or the i9505 ?
as i said i care about roms dev and also performance
thank you for reading
Quad is almost lock in specific operators and octa is almost international
so quad is more depend on operators plan
and Octa depend on samsung plan
:good:
thanks but im not talking about the plan or locked
im talking about what to get in terms of roms devs and dev supports
both of them are unlocked here in my country
The Qualcomm (i9505) version is better if you're looking for ROMs, Kernels, Themes... But the Exynos(i9500) version is also very good.
PS: Both versions are good in term of performence & fluidity !
I would prefer to be without a contract, I'm okay being without LTE in the USA, would like international usability, and am confused about all these different variants in model numbers, processor types, and versions (e.g. Google edition, Active edition, etc...). Thanks!

Go for I9506.I think is the best.I own this phone and is better than I9505.But if you are looking for any custom rom you will not find anyhing for it(yet) only root and a few mods compatible from I9505.But overall is way better than i9505.The Snapdragon 800(2,3 Ghz and Adreno 330) does his job very well.And....there is no official android 4.3 for it.Just 4.2.2.I9506 rocks the benchmarks.In Antutu(stok ROM,stock Kernel) it scores around 35000 pts.
none , don t purchase an s4 , if u really want a Samsung device the s5 is coming soon , also concerning international usability with regional lock Samsung is not a good option
If you're considering a Google play edition device, you're better off with the nexus 5

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm looking into this. What carrier are you using; any plan suggestions? (I'm not too eager to sign a contract)

Has the S5 been announced? Doesn't Samsung usually release new year flagship phones in March/April? I'll need one much sooner than that.
Also, what's the problem with international use on a GS4? I think I remember reading that International GS4s in the USA don't have 4G use, and USA GS4s don't work well in other countries. If I get a rootable GS4, would this resolve this concern?
Thanks again for the help guys!
first, i did use the search button so no flaming. at the risk of sounding like a noob, here goes nothing. i just picked up a verizon g2 variant and love it! however i have found a couple roms on the att side (who is my carrier) that i would like to use. so im wondering can these roms be used on different devices or do you need to stick to your carriers sub forum? perhaps flashing a kernel or something additional.
any help is greatly appreciated! oh, and the reason for a verizon phone on att is simply because of the awesome deal i got.
thanks!!!
Dont flash the ROM from AT&T. You'll most likely going to boot loop or even worse brick your phone. There's a reason they have different sub forums for different carriers. Stick to the verizon sub forum or go to the Original Android development and look for ROMs that works on VS980 only. But if you really want the ROM. It never hurts to ask.
I'm almost new to XDA having used the forums to install both CM11 and CM12.1 on my HTC One X recently. I vaguely understand the lingo and might be able to follow any answers I might get. Here's my need.
1. Looking to upgrade to an S4 but which Variant is easiest to mod or runs the best afterwards?
2. Where to purchase a new preferably unlocked S4?
3. Must be able to bypass AT&T and hotspot or tether without them shutting me down after modding.
4. Is there a better or more stable ROM than the CM mods? CM12.1 acted stupid on my HTC One X but I like the CM11 running on it.
5. I know most users on this forum are Sammy users, but could I do better than an S4 and stay under $300 new while still getting a phone with a removable battery and SD slot?
Feel free to ask questions if I've left anything out.
I'd recommend an GT-I9505 international variant. I think it has the most development going on.
The GT-I9506 has better specs, but there is fewer development.

Thanks, this is exactly why I asked. I was initially assuming the 9506 would be the better option but not knowing the support here was an issue. What about places to purchase? I also think I've read that an international version does not have a warranty. Is that correct? I'd hate to get a lemon and not be able to do anything about it.
The international version is basically the carrier free version, I think. It's the one you can buy from an electronics store, without carrier bloat. If it's new you should have a warranty, no matter what.
As for places to buy, I can't recommend you any. You might want to try Swappa.
Am I in the right area? I havent found any other section on XDA for it. I just bought this phone and I like it a lot! If someone could guide me in the right direction it would be great!
I'm in the same boat, there's a little chatter at Android Central, but nothing else for this device. I'm just hoping for root and custom recovery.
Also literally in the exact same boat, I'd love to run AOSP or CM on this thing. I don't even see any posts for the normal Stylo 2
Yeah, there's not much chatter at all. On the other hand, kingroot just went over 400 requests, I don't know at what number of requests that they decide to work on an exploit.
I've heard people breaking their phone using kingroot and so on so I will just wait until someone who for sure is rooted there LG Stylo 2 plus and then I will move forward from there. Although it would be nice if XDA would make a little section for us to hang out in. I hope someone on here will hear us out.
I hear ya..been searching for a root, but no luck so far. Im livid over lg opting out of adoptable storage..i wouldn't of bought this phone had i known before hand..oh well with root all things will become possible
Same guys I bought the LG Stylo 2 Plus on MetroPCS and I just want a root that will work I used KingRoot and I was a simi root I restarted 2 times and the root was removed just hope someone will work on a root and a port of CyanogenMod 13
​Maybe we can some how reach out to XDA staff to create a section dedicated to us LG Style 2 Plus users. If someone could help me do this that would be great!
Your biggest issue is that metro pcs is such a small a regional carrier most developers don't get the device which means no development for it. Also you need to have full kernel source for the device and device trees. Which seldom happen for budget devices.
As for adoptable storage, most oem are disabling it or removing it completely.

So no chance of xda ever getting an LG Stylo 2 Plus section?

That depends on how much development it gets. Your best bet is to make things happen and then come back with things like bootloader unlocks, root, roms and development for the device. Also make sure the kernel source for the device is available.

Well I'm not a developer or anything that's why I come to XDA to appreciate other people's work. Let's hope someone comes along soon to show off their stuff. Hey zelendel, you seem like a smart man why don't you give it a go. Lol help us fellow brothers out ????

I only work with devices I own and I only buy nexus devices due to the availability of the source code and kernel source. Sorry
The original Stylo (MetroPCS/T-Mobile) was very fortunate to get as much dev support as it did. I don't foresee much happening for its successors, however.
Lg stylo 2 plus..root please!!! Ill come clean your pool and mow your lawn devs!!!! Someone please be my freakin hero and come up with root.. Oh mighty DEVS ( bows ) i pray to thee
Sd storage crippled

Yes this is bull i think it may be possible to re activate the adaptive storage with adb but adb wont stay connected on the stylo 2 plus but for 1 seconed with the 6.0.1. Whats the piint in having thia phone with 1 terabit expandable storage if you just get a crippled sd card slot that only works for pictures this phone is awesome hardware wise but a pile of **** everywhere else

Where do you get that MetroPCS is a small regional carrier? They have over a hundred and fifty million subscribers according to their parent company T-Mobile who has less than 70 million subscribers. That makes MetroPCS better than twice the size of T-Mobile one of the big four carriers in the United States. They have a subset of the exact same phones that T-Mobile carries as well. Everything from the little small Samsung Galaxy knockoff phones to the Galaxy S 7 is available with Metro PCS. The only difference is that your bill is half as much and you have to pay for your phone up front. Essentially you are not financing all of the other phones of all of the other users on the network which is why their service is so much less expensive.
We had one dev for a brief period of time for the OG Stylo and he left.
Like Revenant Ghost said, don't expect much.
Root hasn't even been achieved yet permanently for the Stylo 2 or Stylo 2 Plus.
Open source code for the stylo 2 plus is here

And now someone who has the device and is capable enough needs to step up and do something with it.
