Hello guys.
I am planning to buy a new phone. I am thinking about buying BB Priv but well have doubts bcs the root is not possible or ?
I must say I really want to have root on this phone or at least some custom ROM with removed bloatware.
Or I am thinking about buying Samsung Galaxy s7 with that keyboard you can attach to it.
Or what do you suggest ? What phone to buy where I can have our beloved qwerty keyboard either fixed , slide or attach to the phone.
Thank you for your advice and tips.

Hey all,
New here.
I got my AT&T Note 3 and I am regretting it, not to mention I also have the gear 2, which is even worse!
And then I heard Samsung is pushing Tizen on their new flagship so I guess I am done with them....
But Nexus 6 is quite some time away so I got to make the Note 3 work till then
So here I am ...
How can I find a ROM that does properly the things I want it to do? So many out there...
I want to get rid of ALL Samsung apps, ALL AT&T apps.
I want to be able to use the Pen.
I want Moto X functionality, talk to it even with screen off, or at least for Open Mic+ to work and not get mixed up with S-Voice...
How do I find this Rom???
thanks

PS. Is there any chance of Androidifing my Gear 2 or just ebay it and get a Glass?
may be an asnswer but required root

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to purchase the S8, but I had a few queries I was hoping someone could help me with.
I'm from the UK, but I have been alerted to a cheaper price for the S8 from Amazon Italy. However, a few people have mentioned something about possibly having to change the CSC, and that Samsung Pay may not work. There have also been mentions of this possibly voiding warranty, and something about a knox counter tripping?
If Samsung Pay doesn't work, could I not just use Android Pay? Although, I don't know if I'm willing to use my phone for payments in that manner, anyway.
I'm not really up to date on modding phones, CSC, custom roms, etc. My current phone is an old Nexus 4, so I'm in need of the upgrade.
Also, could anyone tell me if it's possible to make the S8 layout as similar to what I would have on my Nexus. Stock Android, or something? So I don't have all the additional things Samsung tend to put on their phones.
This is the link for the phone.
Thank you.
Hey mate, apparently Samsung Pay works for exynos variant out of the box, but once rooted you lose SP forever. You can always use Android Pay with no problems. Changing CSC features will have an impact in your phone. The S8 is one heck of a gadget and I suggest you get your hands on it. ?
NOTE: You can use Nova Launcher to make the gs8 to look like the nexus, stock or.however you want.

Thank you for the reply. Does rooting mean I will lose my warranty? Do I have to root?

Yes indeed you will, however there are times where you might get away with it if something happens to your device. That's the reason why nowadays is recommended to use Magisk Systemless to hide root and tracks. ?
Hi i'm thinking of getting the Verizon S8 during the black friday sale, my question is:
1. From people who own it is it generally a good phone and are y'all happy with it?
2. I saw the thread about rooting the US. Snapdragon version i'd like to know if there's anything different/would stop me from rooting since ill be getting it on Verizon? PS. ill be activating it on Verizon but buying it at BestBuy in case that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help

Personally knowing what I know now I'd be looking at a different phone. These things are carrier owned locked bootloader with no unlock on the horizon. The root method sucks with it being so long and complicated, reminds of the Sony Xperia days. Plus you lose 20% battery and there's no fix because locked bootloader. The list can go on but why bother I think you'll get the point. Have fun
I would suggest you OnePlus 5T if you want root, custom roms ecc. But if you want a freaking georgous screen that stretches at it's maximum, a great camera, and overall great build and design I would suggest S8. I have not rooted it yet, and personally I don't find the need to do it. Regarding the looks I can change through substratum or through custom themes(which just install as a normal apk but change even the notification bar). As far as speed goes it is pretty good, been using it for 5months and never noticed a big lag that bothered me.

It is a great phone, with an amazing screen, it´s super fast, has good batterylife and a great camera. All of it even with a stock Samsung ROM.
That said, if you are used to rooting your phones and installing different Custom ROMs and Mods, maybe the US S8 isn´t right for you. It´s a real hassle to root and it can only be charged to 80% after root. The ROM and Mod development is very slowly picking up with Flashfire, although I´m confident we will see some more ROMs in the future, since the installbase is quite big.
So, the Phone is great on it´s own, but I personally wouldn´t buy the US Version, if I would want to use Custom ROMs or Mods.
As everybody said its a great phone as it is . No need for root and custom roms . But if you are really into these things then don't buy it from any carrier .
