I could never find a normal size phone. Thinking of i9506 or S5. Which would you all get? Performance seems almost same. I'd like to install CM. Thoughts? Thanks.

Hi everybody, I want to buy one of this three devices (since I have a very old phone now, the galaxy ace), but I'd like to know which one is the most lagfree. The s4 and the htc one are surely faster (even If I saw some videos in which the n4 with custom rom was faster than an s4 with stock rom), but what about lag? Is the n4 really the smoothest android experience? Thanks in advance!
I have not gotten the chance to try the Galaxy S4 but I have gotten to use an HTC One for a few days, I loved the phone but I still feel my Nexus 4 was a smoother experience. The HTC one is extremely smooth and fast though, no doubt.

I've heard that the s4 has some lag. Either way every android phone I had with oem skin on has gotten more and more slow and laggy, my gnex is almost smoother then my s3 by now.. I have no idea why

The S4 is very laggy at the moment. I've had both the AT&T and T-Mobile version both lag during leaving apps. Sometime it lags on the home screen while moving through pages.
HTC one i only got to play with for about 30 mins and it was pretty smooth. I didn't notice lag at all. But the nexus with a custom rom is going to be better until someone makes better use of the HTC one and GS4 power.
And for the record the GS4 lag on a custom rom CM10 and Wicked.
I played with a brand new s4 today, only factory apps installed, and imported contacts, and i definitely noticed some ui lag. Nexus 4 is way smoother imo.

The S4 is stupidly laggy for something with such amazing hardware. From videos that I've seen the One seems pretty much as lag-free as the N4, right now the One is definitely the best phone on the market IMO.
Ok guys, thanks for the help! I want the nexus 4 so badly!

I had a play wit ha S4 yesterday. Its almost unrecognizable as an android device. Samsung has done their best to bloat touchwiz up so bad, it almost wont run. Shame for a phone with such awesome hardware to have stuttering and lag like that .
S4 is too much laggy (exynos octa version) because it doesnt have a govenor and I/O scheduler sufficiently smart to manage the low-power and and performance cores.
If you wanna add a wildcard how about the s4 Google edition, all the nexus experience with the Sammy hardware. Unlocked bootloader out of the box. Should be a contender.

I've had my nexus 4 for about 2 weeks and I have yet to experience any type of lag.

I read that the s4 gogle edition will be an USA exclusive, and I live in Italy... Also the nexus 4 looks 100 times cooler ahahah
I was torn between the GE S4 and the Nexus. I picked the nexus because it is the same experience for almost have the price.

If you plan on getting a nexus 4 root and flash roms and kernels, it makes the phone so much better

I've got a Nexus 4. Zero lag. Very smooth. I've gone into a few different AT&T stores to check out the HTC One and the S4. Every time I tried the S4, the first thing I noticed was lag. I was really surprised. Even a little jittery when swiping the home screen. It's not terrible, don't get me wrong, but it's there. Didn't notice it with the HTC One.
My thoughts are that the HTC One has the highest build quality of the three. There's no doubt, it's the most "premium" and for that reason it makes me want one. It also has the best screen in my opinion. However, there's also no doubt that the Nexus 4 has the best software (both HTC and Samsung ruined their phones with all the unnecessary changes they made) and there's also obviously no doubt that it will get Android updates the quickest and longest into the future, so for that reason I'd stick with my Nexus 4. I also hate that both HTC and Samsung removed the dedicated app switcher button (which I use all the time). The Nexus 4 battery life is a little disappointing coming from an iPhone 4S, but it blows the iPhone away in almost every other way in my opinion.
The best phone "in the world" would be an HTC One that was a Nexus and had the app-switcher button. But, it doesn't exist. So, Nexus 4 is my vote instead.

That's true I love the nexus' look and operation. Hands down my favorite android device. Can't wait for the five.

So basically i bought a tablet with 4g thinking i would be able to carry around and use as a phone but i was totally wrong. Am in the market looking for a new smartphone. My main concerns are battery life, web browsing like youtube mostly and nfc. I like the nexus 4 and moto g, there are various versions of nexus 4 though like samsung and then lg google. I am confused as to get moto g or nexus 4. Moto g has no Nfc though :/ So which one should i get? any other options?

Get a nexus
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
There is only one version of nexus 4 made by lg. The previous nexus is made by Samsung called galaxy nexus and the one before that called the nexus s. Nexus 4 is a really good phone but you could probably have an easier time getting the moto g brand new for $200 us
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
The Nexus 4 will be faster than the Moto G... but mostly depends how you're using it. Battery life is decent, always lasts me the day.

Can't wait for one of our developers to jump on this!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/deodex-galaxy-note-5-dump-t3179420
I was thinking about it but the note 5 is honestly no different in software to our phones now. Note 5 is honestly a fail. Samsung is going down iPhones route, same design and software in every new phone. I'm switching to the Moto X Pure Edition.

They already managed to port some of the S6's apps over to the Note 4, didn't they?
Just give the devs some time, we'll probably get the Note 5 software enhancements soon enough.
Maybe soon...

What rom?
these should work on almost any samsung 5.1.1 deodexed rom and some seem to work on odexed as well but to my surprise i have read some work on 5.0.x based tw roms as well. To be on the safe side always back up your original apk files

The image no, we could see Marshmallow working but it would be from aosp. Modified system images from the nexus 5 never got very far (someone tried this for the android L previews back in the day, they got it booting after a ton of issues but it was never actually released or really usable.)
Isn't the nexus 5 almost the exact same specs as lg g2? Besides barometer and partition layout?

Not at all.
SoC and ram may be the same but the similarities end about there.

Hi,
Need your advise, whether swapping with One Plus 3 is a good option?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
no. phone is a downgrade. plus swappa has them going for more than 400 which is insane because of demand.
Nah not a chance.
Better processor and ram but worse speakers, display and camera. I suggest you stick with nexus 6p or if you want to upgrade see what the new nexus phones have to offer
I wouldn't, but if I was to consider it I would want money n the boot also..
