hello you kind folks. sorry to trouble you people again. can you help me here?

I initially PM ed a few forumers, as well as posting in few threads, but right now I'm in this situation where picking up a phone isn't a no brainer at the moment

I'm looking for phones that meet these criteria,

a) qualcomm processor
b) 3GB RAM
c) 16GB minimum storage
d) can be rooted /flashed with custom ROMs, with xposed framework support
e) rm1300 circa

for some reason or another the phone I shortlisted wasn't to be found, so finally I did some comparisons again and found the list grew. butt again these are not easily found phones


1) oneplus one
2) LG G Pro 2
3) LG G3
4) Samsung galaxy note 3 (can get at rm1300????)




as you can see I listed these 3 phones, and I'm leaning towards the lg g pro 2, because of its 5.9 inch screen size (yes I'm a sucker for big screen sizes because I use android devices to read manga consume visual media )

but I also need some advice as to how good the GPS are since I play Ingress and I want to pick the game up again .

as for the note 3 I'm not too keen on the abysmal UI and rooting or installing custom ROM voids the warranty so badly you don't have second chances at it.


any advice?

Good headache to have. I'm currently using LG G Pro 2 and the GPS works very well. Can lock very fast using Waze, but Ingress not so sure.

More choices actually for that kind of budget & requirements, you can also consider Sony Xperia Z2 and Xiaomi Mi 4. But I will go with OnePlus One if you are on the modding path.

hi there thanks. will add the two phones and xiaomi Mi note pro into the list, but then again some of the phones are on different price bracket and so it remains to be seen how good they are for the price.


right now it seems that the oppo find 7 is the better oneplus one, sans the firmware, but then again for the price (rm1700?) there are other options such as the LG g3.

price point aside I'm still open to ideas. still got a few days left before I book one online or go to the shops that I trust to get a unit .



by the way, since you use the LG g pro2, how's the modding scene? I'm probably heading towards cyanogenmod with xposed framework. this frankenstein setup had served me very well in the past, and I wonder if this is the same for the lg g2 pro.

I dont think note 3 is below 1.3k at the moment.. But if u r ok with secondhand unit, u can get it at 1k..

Since u really like rooting and rom, u better go for a famous device just like one plus one note 3 g3.. Not sure about xposed framework, but usually if there is a lot of users, there will be good dev for it including xposed modding..

Oppo is too expensive for a chinese phone.. And the spec is the same as one plus one.. I dony think oppo get good development as one plus one. Better go for OPO, u can save almost 500..

Have to agree about the ridiculous pricing of OPPO. Now there is VIVO but the price is tad ridiculous too. Will check if LG G3 have the ability for combined storage, or else it's the 1+1 despite the camera without +OIS.
