I'm really needing a bit of info. Thank you sincerely to all that reply.
OK I'm currently on sprint with a note 5.
I'm wanting to stay with sprint but I like a variety of roms for my phone.
My question is if I buy a nexus 6p unlocked can I flash roms for other carriers and still get sprint data and calling. Or will I still be limited to just roms built for sprint nexus 6p?
It may be an ignorant question to some. But I have never owned a 6p or any phone from outside my carrier. Thank you

You dont need Sprint specific ROMs, although you might have issues updating PRLs on custom ROMs (dont know if that is still an issue).
The only carrier you need to worry about in that aspect is Project Fi.

Yeah, Im running a custom ROM on my Nexus 6P right now and it appears to have a couple of Sprint Specific APKs (SprintDM, etc) so you should be golden.
I'm on Sprint and so far there is no problem using PureNexus and Dirty Unicorns ROMs.
Sprint does not work correctly with ResurectionRemix.

Of course,the new Photon slider is intriguing; supposedly with an unlocked bootloader. But I hate Motoblur...

I have AOSP 4.1.1, completely stable (the real kind), no bugs, no broken features. Enough said.
I considered the GS3 as well, for about a minute.
When I'm rocking a perfectly stable AOSP 5.0 and your GS3's are still on 4.0.4 I'll be lmao.

I have 40Gb+ of data on my SGS3, and that isnt counting apps.
32GB internal + 32GB external is easy to fill up, if you dont want to work your phone from the cloud for everything.
A limit of 32GB internal wouldnt cut it, IMO

Anyone have a vzw note 3 then pick up a g2?what did you think? How's the reception? I'm getting irritated with dropped data ect.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I came from a GS3 when they were running the free after instant rebate promo.
The G2 does have a more reliable signal, possibly a little stronger too.
I dont know if it is a big enough reason to switch...it could depend on your location, etc.
It is a fantastic phone though. I dont have the urge to crack flash either with all the UI customization possible witb stock.
Did they patch loki yet? I'm missing aosp and I meant to say I have a note 3. I have a nexus 7 just seems the note and 7 are too close in size. How's battery life?

If you are willing to trade a Note 3 for an LG G2, contact me.
Sent from my LG G2 using xda app-developers app
I did the opposite where I had the G2 and dumped it for a Note 3. If I'm being completely honest, I think the Note 3 is a better overall phone with more advantages. But of course it depends how you will use your phone.
I owned the G2 for a month, so I think I had a pretty decent sample size to give my opinion.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I honestly don't think they are even comparable, because of the size and the S Pen.
Sent from my LG G2 using xda app-developers app
It mostly depends on what you want to do with it. I have the original Note on ATT. I decided on the G2 over the N3 because of all the nonsense Samsung is getting into with not allowing us to flash and customize OUR devices. Since you are on Verizon, the vise is even tighter on you. Seems us GSM guys have it a little easier. Good luck with your decision.
Is this another Note 3 vs G2 comparison thread?
Aren't people getting tired of comparison threads getting locked?

I don't think you are up to date. The Verizon Note 3 has a bootloader exploit, custom recovery and custom roms already. In short, it's good to go.

You can't go wrong getting an S4! Very snappy phone out of the box, I myself just like to root and get rid of the bloat and it runs great! As for ROMS, I will not go there, everyone has there own opinion. Be for warned, you will most likely get the SPH-720T, TriBand phone, not much support yet, maybe someday.

When you say no triband support are there no ROMs for the triband version ? Or the ROMs that exist are not working with triband

Roms work on a triband phone but you lose triband connectivity. So you will have LTE still but no Spark LTE.

I've had my S4 since release (preordered) and I have no complaints about the phone. Coming from a S2, it was a huge upgrade in every way. Even when compared to my Nexus 5 and Note 3, I like my S4 more, seriously.
I use Hololauncher as my launcher of choice and my phone is currently Rooted & running Xposed + several modules.
To increase enjoyability, I replaced the OEM battery with a ZeroLemon 3000mah one. Lasts longer, of course, and the battery has been quality.

+1 for Holo Launcher, I have bought nova and apex but I always come back to holo. Snappy, light and has just the necessary features for me. Huge improvement over stock launcher.
Now that the Note 7 has launched, have all Devs given up working on the S7/S7E? Or is it just that we're at a standstill with no progress because its impossible?
The locked bootloader killed this phone. When I got it, I convinced myself that I no longer needed custom roms...I was wrong! My enthusiasm for this phone has died, something that didn't happen with the LG G3 it replaced right up to the moment I handed it to my son. The S7E is fine, but I regret its purchase every day. I probably should move on now, but I'm not sure which direction to take. I'm certainly done with Samsung and most likely Sprint. If I wanted boring, I could have joined the zombie herd and bought an iPhone.

Not only did Samsung shoot themselves in the foot with the explosive note 7's but the s7 edge is amazing hardware crippled by a locked bootloader and no dev support.
