I know this is out of topic but Motorola should have set the Moto X's hotword as "Hello Moto".
That would be legendary.

LG's customer service is pretty good. Ask Nexus 4 users why.
But if LG can introduce International warranty it'll be much better.

LG SC won't repair devices that aren't officially available in Malaysia because they don't have spare parts. Some technicians only have the Nexus 5 prototype devices. They can't pull parts from their device to fix your phone can't they?

HTC One belongs to special case of device.
It's close to impossible to disassemble it without damaging the case.

Pretty much all the OEM's have their own horror stories. My Sony Xperia phone recently spent 6 weeks in Sony SC. Meanwhile my Nexus 4 want "discharged" within a week (delay due to 2 holidays in single week).

IMO 0%.
It doesn't run at background. User need to trigger it in order for the app to be active.
But be warned, when it's active it can be super annoying
It'll blast emails & sms to the preset contacts.

Yeah, I do.
IMO dashclock should be included in stock android. Stock android don't utilize much of the lockscreen widget. Dashclock show pretty useful stuffs right on lockscreen.

Guys, anyone know any seller selling decent quality car charger & holder?
Preferably from same seller.

Does Redmi come with GMS access?

Wait till end of this month?
S5 is confirmed to be launch next week. HTC more or less confirmed that M8 will be launched next week also.
So regular users might want to wait and see what others have to offer.

Anyway it looks like LG Malaysia won't be selling any ori LG phones in Malaysia anytime soon?

+1
During the pre-kit kat days, I used to change the navigation bars to blue to match the battery colour.
But since kit kat comes with white battery colour I don't modify i anymore.

Yeah, G2 & N5 was launched last year.But for now the high spec standard is the Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM, Adreno 330 etc2. Xperia Z2 & HTC One should have similar spec. For now Samseng might release S5 with S800 but with their brick & mortar strategy I won't be surprised if they launch S5 variant with S805 later.

IMO we have passed the hardware "battle" long time ago. Any OEM can get the best spec by throwing some money. But not everyone managed to take advantage over it with good software. IMO Moto X & G were the exception for this. With the rumour that Nexus line might be discontinued soon, I'm interested with how the OEM will customize the OS after this.

BTW the red Nexus 5 with crystal casing is damn sexy. How much is the red Nexus 5 in Satu Gadget/directd shop?

But Google could have done better with the battery & camera.
I'm still waiting to see the new camera API's.

For some reason I don't really dig PA.
I know customizing ability is one of Android's forte. But PA customizing ability make Android look like frankenstein. It isn't as consistent as Google's version of Android. Personally I believe that phone UI's should be reasonably simple. PA's "phablet" UI can be confusing for some.

Yeah, I used to run CM.
But the CM team burned some bridge when they went legit.

I'm fine with the way CM is now.
Some people need to understand even for open source OS you need some solid funding. Ubuntu is a good example.
The problem the higher management of the CM messed up with the dealing with the senior CM devs. They were very secretive with the incorporation & the dual licencing crap didn't help smooth things. So yeah, CM had problems but things seems to be ok now.

More or less.
Cydia can be considered as full fledge 3rd party app store which allows all sort of apps for iOS.
Xposed Tool is more like a system modification tools.You may download the "plugins" and modify the OS.
But be warned, Xposed will modify the systemui which will prevent you from applying OTA update (if you prefer OTA).

Xposed initially designed for the mediatek SOC devices solely because those devices lacks custom ROMs. But recent changes allows Xposed to be used in different ROMs. In case of Samsung ROMs, there's different Xposed tool.
If you want to start messing with Xposed, download & sideload the apk, reboot after installation and choose compatible modules. In case of Nexus devices, you may apply pretty much all the AOSP targeted modules.

Perhaps.But some security conscious people are still skeptical of the modules.
There's no way to check what the code in the module contain. A hacker could easily code a module that at outside provide things like changing on screen key's colour but at background copy users facebook login details.

Xposed goals is more like to add functions. OS optimization requires code alteration of the ROM IMO.

Yes.
