I dont know if its joke or not but there is first customizable phone i ever saw
http://synapse-phones.com/order.php
you can choose RAM Camera and all other stuff
If I was loaded with cash I would pimp this thing out big time!
Yeah i tried how much would be my own custom and 538 pounds
Pounds or Euro?
Either way it would be nice to get, cost about $850AUD.
Would be perfect if we can choose the screen type too!
maybe euro i only saw the cost
I will buy if it has the option of terga 2
really cool, mine is 518 which is reasonable
498 Euros for the one I want. That's sounds great until I convert it to USD. Then it makes me cry.
I wonder how it works when a new version of android comes out? Do you get upgrades?

That could be an awesome phone series if there's good development and updates for it.

This would be a cool idea...only issue that I could see is that you would probably never be able to get root access on it...I couldnt see too many serious devs buying this device
It sounds like vaporware so far. No word since last month and their webpage rarely works.

I think I saw somewhere that the device is fully rooted when it ships. I Googled it for more info earlier today and think I saw it in one of the writeups I found about it. Links are listed at bottom of this post for more information on this device.
With all of the available options that I wanted it was gonna cost me roughly 500 US dollars.
BTW .... they are based in Germany, so I look for this to be an excellent device when they start production. They are taking pre-orders now to get a feel for the market I would assume.
Other articles I have located about this device:

yes indeed, a little to good to be true, i wonder why htc didnt think of something like this, to be able to make a custom phone to ur liking is serious business, all u need is to design a kernel that support all the hardware ur planing to sale. GOLD MINE!!
I'll sure as hell buy one! Looks like an amazing deal... 1 Gb RAM, 16 Gb internal, Wifi, 4G for future support, etc. Gotta love it!

HTC would never consider selling custom devices per order. Just think of the money they would lose if they quit selling to the masses, and by masses I am speaking of AT&T, T-Mo, Verizon, Sprint, etc. They are in the market for the BIG picture and that is all about quarterly earnings and stock prices, not making a BIG buck on custom devices that are tailor made for individuals like you and I.
I think that this new company could do very well building these custom devices. Once word gets out, all of the uppity ups will want one and it will carry them a long way in their success if that happens. You know how those uppity ups are, they aren't gonna drive a Toyota if they can get their hands on a Ferrari. It's a status thing and they will be a big part of the market for these devices IMO.
I hope they do well in their endeavor. All they have to do is make a name for themselves with a reliable and well built device. This one could truly be an iPhone killer if they play their cards right. It's already got any and every feature available that I can see, except for a kickstand. LOL

I really like the fact that you can have up to 32gb internal storage and then 32gb microSD ... 64gb total! This could completely replace my mp3 player with all that storage.

It is obviously a fake website. They cant even spell technology.
Htc would never do this because having a phone not rooted when it hits the user is a good thing for them since it allows them to control what is on the phone and what is not. Thus allowing them to add more features on the next phone update to draw in more people for the same exact phone...
They spell it technologie because its a German company. Looking at thier site, actually they look to be legit.
Eventually HTC, Samsung, and the other big manufacturers will have to do something like this. If they dont, companies like this one will keep springing up and taking larger and larger share of the market.
Think about it, if you had to spend $350 for 'almost' the phone you want, or could spend $500 for exactly the phone you want, you'd spend the extra $ because for most, a smartphone is a long term investment.
Even if this were a fake site, theres more to come because theres a market for it.
Even if youre not actually getting a better phone, theres plenty of materialistic douchebags thatll buy one just for the prestige of having a unique phone, to fuel a market for this
Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hey and introduce myself. I just picked up my very first Android device, a galaxy s 2 (att). I'm coming from a long generation of iPhone and ios devices so this is a big deal for me. I'm still a huge apple fan and still carry my iPhone 4 but I'm not one of the closed minded ones. Apparently I joined this forum a long time ago but never participated but I'm back for sure this time. Being since this is my first Android, I am very uneducated but I do have an idea of the possibilities. I hope to learn everything there is to learn and enjoy my phone and Android as much as I have with my IPhones

Welcome i see your model is a 777, be sure if you plan to root and flash roms, to use the appropriate files (not the standard european) That if im not wrong, dosnt work on the 777
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Hi and welcome! You will be surprised how much you can personalize your android device! A tip is to try the different launchers. I use launcher pro! And if you dare to take it a step further you can try the different customs roms out there. My X10 was a completely new phone when I installed a custom rom.

Thanks guys. I've heard of roms but will have to research more since I don't Know enough. Like for instance, I didn't know that my device id that ended in 777 was going to determine that much.

I'm actually in the exact same boat as you, picked up the Galaxy S2 as my first Android phone after years of iPhones/iOS.
I'll be going back to Apple on October 14th.
So many people that I speak with outline that Android is so customizable and amazing, but I don't see it at all. There are some great features for sure (Swipe, Nav, etc) but overall I found the cons way out way the pros.
I've tried a number of different roms but never found one that didn't have something wrong with it. Certain apps not working, certain pieces of it not even present and ultimately I flashed to the updated Samsung 2.3.5.
I have reception issues every now and then that requires me to restart the phone. The battery life is pretty trashy unless I disable everything that makes a smart phone a smart phone. Apps don't feel anywhere near as polished, even something as simple as the facebook app feels slow and under developed when compared to the iOS version.
Overall, everything that people bloat about for Android being amazing, I'll never use (Seriously, who cares if you can torrent while on the go!) and the new features iOS 5 are going to bring will align pretty much everything that I actually do use.
I'm by no means an apple fan boy, I own a PC not a mac and I was more then willing to try Android after all the hype I've heard but I don't see any of it.
Huge disappointment, just wish I was still in the 14 days window where I could return the device...

go to menu -settings-about phone-last 5 entries will tell you alot about your phone model and versions on it.
You will need this information if you need help in the future.
I had an iPhone 4 for a few months and couldn't wait to get rid of it, I'm really pleased with my galaxy s2. For me the benefits of android far outweigh the negatives. Some of the benefits of android include not having to use crappy itunes, being able to use an SD card and not having to wait months for a jailbreak to mention just a few.
When I comes to customizing the home screen try 'go launcher' you can run it without root. To do the equivilant on the iPhone you would need about 4 or 5 cydia apps/tweaks.

I own a Tablet, Netbook, Windows & Ubuntu Laptops, and Servers; but I've never owned a SmartPhone. Now that I may finally be upgrading my Verizon Plan, I need guidance.
Asking which is the best SmartPhone out there is very a very subjective and possibly contentious discussion, and if you have a hands-down favorite I want to hear about it, but more importantly I want to know which of the current VZW offerings to avoid. I figure that will be a better way to narrow the field and make my choice.
Thanks in advance,

First off it depends on what you want to do with the phone. there is never one clear cut winner. if you are looking to root, mod, flash and such. you may be interested in a completely different phone then someone looking to maximize random features and such.
my vote. you can never go wrong with a nexus. easy to unlock. root. flash. have long-term support. always a great choice. i have one. love it.
Verizon carries a lot of motorola phones. they tend to have good build quality, and lots of factory features. but be warned some are a headache to work with, and moto can be a real pain about unlocking bootloaders and such. im not down-talking moto in anyway, i have an atrix too and love it. just letting you know.
again there is not "best phone" there is a new great phone out every day. look around. read some reviews. and remember if you really cant decide. nexus is the best of ALL worlds. just remember to do some reading up on what the limitations are before you buy.
hope this can help a little.

That's a tough one because, as you mentioned, it's a very subjective issue with most people. You have a diverse set of other devices so my first question would have to deal with how badly do you need your smartphone to interact with them. What OS is on your tablet and netbook. If they're both Android I would recommend you stay with Verizon's Droid line. If they're Windows I would heavily recommend that you look at Windows Phone, namely the Trophy on Verizon. Don't get caught up in the whole "specs" conversation, go to a Verizon store and actually work the phone. Is it intuitive? Does it lag more than you would care for? How are the buttons, keyboards, etc. If this is your first smartphone I would definitely suggest you consider the "feel" of the phone and the menus, layout & screen. On another note, if you don't feel comfortable with any of their offerings, buy a good used one on ebay or Craigslist and put it on your contract. It'll be much less sour than to have to spend the next two years with a phone you hate to even look at. Hope this helps.
Once you have used the HTC EVO 3D camera you will never look at another phone again! when i take photos of my family and kids in 3d the photos just amaze me every time. when i switch to 2d and take photos the pictures are still very clear but just boring. i actually only take 3d photos now as you can edit the photo later and create a 2d copy from it. it also scored an impressive 2800 points in quadrant on a ics leak stock kernel!! im running myn without sense and it starts up only using 300mb of ram. there's 1gb ram!!!!
Well, these days I'd say the One X or Sammy Galaxy the 3rd ;o)
But the iPhone is not a dumbphone either, no? (I feel I'll get hell for this...)
I totally agree it's a complex question.
As mentioned before.try to summarize what you're going to do with it and which functions and feature are a must for you.
Keep us up on what you got in the end.
Cheers and good hunting
Thanks for all the input so far. To answer some of the questions:
I don't think I need the phone to interact with my tablet or netbook.
My tablet is a rooted ViewSonic G-Tablet with Flashback ROM
My netbook is WinXP with Ubuntu bootable from usb-stick.
If you could please wait until the end of this summer. There are a lot of great devices that are going to be released.

This. There are great offerings coming from Sony, LG, and others before the end of the summer. You're definitely best off waiting to see what comes, and if nothing new catches your eye you'll still get an even better price on older devices once the new crop hits.
There are many good smartphones,
many others will suggest iphone 4s or 5, or SIII, but a good model in stores now is Sony Xperia S.
Oh hell yes, the Xperia S is pretty good.

Well it looks like I'll be putting off my quest for the perfect phone for another time.
When I said I've never had a SmartPhone, that wasn't exactly true. Collecting dust in my draw for years, I've had a Mogul PPC-6800. Problem was I could never get Verizon to connect it without a data plan. They just relented and I now have it activated (with no data). Of course now that I'm using it, I'm too blind to read the damn screen.
back when I first got the Mogul, however many years ago that was, all I wanted was a PIM to replace my Palm Pilot and to be able to make Skype calls from wifi hot-spots.
Just wait for the galaxy g3 or just buy the galaxy nexus. My friend who never had a smartphone but he picked it up (gnexus) easy and now he using use all the features. If ur really really dumb, there is the iphone

I would appreciate it if you didn't copy & paste my posts and try to pass it off as "my idea". Not cool.
a google phone like the galaxy nexus will give you the best android experience since it gets its updates directly from the carriers.
unfortunately verizon hasnt updated their cdma version of the galaxy nexus since it was launched in 2011.

Hello you all
mods, feel free to move our delete my post if you feel it's in the wrong section
I am planning to buy the find 5, but I want to be sure this is the right buy for me. I know the performance is awesome and the screen is one of the best or there, so +1 for those, but now for development support. I see there it's a fresh new cm10.1 so that seems ok but are you developers going to keep this phone for a long time? The price tag is pretty hefty for me and I want to keep the phone for a few years. Any change for long term development here? With android 5, and up support? Fast kernels?
Thank you so much

ask Oppo, but they might not guarantee it, or go back on their word
eg: motorola promises android update, then reneges on it
developers do porting on their free time, if you want to guarantee something (like having Android version x), do it yourself........ bootloader is unlocked - you can install anything you want on it

Yup. So far, I see myself as far less likely to wind up in the "OMFG I HATE THIS DEVICE AND I AM SICK OF DEALING WITH IT" category like all of the Exynos4 CM maintainers did.
That said, if I get spread too thin, the device might receive less attention in the future.
A lot depends more on Qualcomm than on Oppo.

Oppo has been great about getting the find it developers hand. They have given out almost ten free devices. So there will be Roms, not as much as a nexus but a few. Again in the long term support won't be as good as a nexus but it uses a qualcom chip so support is easy, not nexus easy but second best. I say it will be supported as long as the nexus four dependent on binary issues.

How much money have you "LOST" due to not being able to root the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge?
So, here we are, April 29th and still no root. I was curious the other day as to how much money I've spent over the years on apps that require root in able to use and were purchased because of the fact that at the time I had a device and always have had one that is rooted. So between the apps such as Clockwork MOD, Chainfires SuperSU, Flashfire, Flashify, Quickboot, ROMToolbox PRO, SDFix, Tasker, OMEGA PRO, Alliance Pro Bronze, Titamium Backup PRO, the endless themes for AOSP theme engine... geez the list goes on.
Final calculations for all apps that I've purchased that are only usable on a device with root = $ 437.88 !!!!
Share your LOST $$$ if you like.
:crying:
I plan on sharing this with @JohnLegere once we get a couple of pages going.
For that much money you might as well trade your device in and get something different that can be rooted ... i def feel you though..

Over the years and iterations of Samsung phones I've been modding less and less. Like with my Note 5 on Sprint. I rooted soon as I got home, Greenify, TB Pro and I was pretty much set for the most part. Stock rooted slimmed down ROM, nothing fancy. I was happy with that. That's really all I want for this S7. When I finally left Sprint (thank goodness!) and made the switch to T-Mobile I really should have checked around here to make sure root was available. I just assumed it was because it's a Samsung phone on T-Mobile and I got so used to my Sprint phones getting root so quickly after launch.
I've been trying out Samsung Pay for a few days now and it's neat but not something I'd miss if I could root the phone. As long as my fingerprint sensor keeps working as it is now with root that would make me happy. I'm just not feeling this battery life I'm getting so far and it's annoying having to manually hibernate my apps with Greenify. I even added the shortcut (with its own custom icon) on my new theme just to make it quick but it's still lame I have to do it manually.
Some folks would suggest just getting another device if root is so important but I don't think we should have to compromise a fantastic device like this S7 and downgrade just to get root. I want to enjoy this new phone WITH root. I'm happy with T-Mobile so far and it's a big improvement over Sprint (I hate them so much) so I really hope they try harder to help get this phone unlocked. They're the most progressive major carrier around these parts and I hope they do us a solid here.
Only $7 for restocking fee after I returned the S7, plus $32 Otterbox case that I can't use. (Anyone wants it, let me know..)

It is truly disappointing at this point. One thing I am sorely missing from root almost more than any of the hundreds of $$ in apps is Viper4Android. My workouts and "In the Zone" work time is suffering for sure. I really wish there was something more we could do, but at this point, only sharing experiences like these can be passed on to the Big Dogs and hope they'll push Samsung to work with TMo to get the bootloader unlocked. Thanks for sharing.
Ah... Viper4Android. Root cannot arrive soon enough! I just woke up and saw a low battery warning on my S7. I went to sleep with 39%.... I don't know what more I can do on this unrooted thing to improve this dang battery!
Firstly, you can't calculate the cost at full price because you have used them prior to switching to the S7. Secondly, you have not lost $438, in fact, as you still have usage access to those apps with another phone that has root.
One would actually make money by participating in the promos: BOGO and reselling the phones, reselling the Gear VRs, and the value of 2 years of Netflix (1 year per device).
Because I'd still rather have root, I found a compromise by doing the promos and getting an International 930F at a good price, and still come out ahead financially.

Well "Firstly", I can calculate the cost at whatever I want. I chose to use an easy way by simply looking at my transactions between Google Play and PayPal. And since MOST of them are actively updated, the value for me is still there. Secondly?? I currently DO NOT have another phone that is rooted or have access to one since I''m currently invested in the S7.
Next, I purchased my phone in April, no promotions, no discounts, nothing, so NO, I cannot "ACTUALLY MAKE $HYYT" off of this, so that statement is completely invalid to this situation.
Last, good for you that you found a compromise... AGAIN, not the case here.
So, basically, instead of coming in and answering the question of the topic, you trolled along in here to try and make my argument invalid. Your free to say what ever you want, I don't have a problem with that, but my statement stands, my money spent is spent and that is the facts. We still do not have an exploit to unlock the bootloader, which is another fact. I do not have another phone to enjoy the applications I've purchased for phones that is rooted, still a fact.
R.I.P, made-up $438. Terribly sorry for your virtual loss, OP. Hope you get it right somewhere, some time.

Pppfffttt... move along troll.
What ?! lost ? not being able to root ? what?
For the people who can't or don't want to waste brain cells on figuring it out, he tallied up the costs of various apps that are root-specific or he purchased with root in mind that he can no longer use, which I'm assuming is just an absolute crapload of Theme Engine themes, and came to the number of $438.
Of course, one could argue that in the past, he's gotten his use out of them, or that when he gets a root-able phone, he'll have those apps waiting for him. One could also argue that it's his responsibility to pick the best device for him, therefore doesn't have a right to feel a sense of loss here due to the aforementioned prior use/future availability along with his uninformed decision, despite the reason he was uninformed.
Don't know what good this would do if it was sent to Legere, but hey. That's why this is a free country. Do you, buddy!
LOL...Wow. I thought people would get this a little better than some of the responses that have been left. At least @psych0r3bel had an idea of what I was going for here. Look, it all goes back to the title and specifically "LOST". For the smart alec and those who just don't get it, first of all, let looks at the definition "quote unquote". 1)The phrase "quote unquote" denotes irony or sarcasm. 2)A quotation mark before and after a word means that it is a verbatim recitation. So, to clear it up, this thread was a place for people to share how much money they've spent on devices that have been able to be rooted to use, but with the locked bootloader on the S7, none of the can be used at the time being. So yes, I gather calculated all my Google Play purchases for apps that are only for rootable phones, all the donations on PayPal, essentially, every dollar I've paid towards software for rootable devices. Very simple, very easy, very laymen. It wasn't meant to be anything other than for a place for people to share how much money they've invested towards root. That's it.
And yes, John Legere does take note to this type of communication. I'm not asking for any money back, that's ridiculous. But, these types of threads when shared, do go noticed and gives a little more fuel to add to the fire when communicating with Samsung. If you want to participate and share towards the intentions of the thread, feel free, but if you don't have anything to share, but sarcasm and insults, please move along.
**EDIT** I just wanted to say, maybe if I wouldn't have been sarcastic with the title and been a little more clear what I was looking for, the responses would have been different. The whole purpose of this was for people to take a look and see, how much money they've invested in root since they've started rooting devices. Sorry for any confusion.
Why didn't you add in the cost of every case, extra battery and other accessories that also will not work with your new phone?

Another smart ass comment not related to being rooted. Probably just another loser that never paid for apps or donated to support devs... SMH.
Mods, please close this thread.

I've been supporting devs and paying for/donating to developement since my first 'smart' phone TouchPro2.
Every device I have had since has been uniquely different.
Some of the customization (including apps/mods/acc) have been transferable,
Some (including apps/mods/acc) have not been transferable.
But, the expectation that they MUST be transferable is junvenile.
So many people like you with your demanding expectations have chased the real devs away.
You want root so bad,
learn like others have,
become a real dev and stop demanding others do it for you.
You purchased an unroot and bootloader locked phone.
You should have no expectation of root apps working on it.
unless/until you root/unlock it yourself.
With or without the generous knowledge/help of others.
