It's a ROM. Kinda like how your phone runs. Lots of options on Android. Lots of coders create their own picking and pulling features.

It's like mac's vs windows.

Still on my Nexus 6. Thought about maybe getting a 6P just for the 128GB storage, thats the ONLY thing I dont like about the 6, no removable storage.

I turned updates off and still havnt gone to Marshmallow yet, maybe in the next week or two? lol

★☆★|[ROM]★☆&#9… | OnePlus One

???|[ROM]??? One+ VM13 Android 6.0.1Rom for the One ???[MMB29M] |??? - One Development - Team Nocturnal

It was initially built off of CM, but it's a lot different now. The coders are pretty good and I've followed these guys and used their stuff since before Lollipop.

I use slimgapps zero and boeffla's kernel to stop the random reboots. Updated a few times a week, but I only update when they input code that might make a different, some of the features I don't use as much. Pretty smooth, 5+hrs onscreen time.

Been on Google's Project Fi for the last 6-7 months. Just before the holidays, they sent out a small Lego set. You get to build a small phone stand. It was pretty cool, I modified mine a bit to also hold my wireless charging pad.


Well last night my roommate came home with this for me. Couple of used pistons that hold my Nexus 6 PERFECTLY! I even put the wireless pad behind the phone and fits like a glove. He also made one for his N6 as well.

Now on my desk at work ive got, pistons, turbo, and brembo 2 pot haha

I know what you mean, the Nexus 5 has been a great phone for me, no complaints, probably the best phone I have owned thus far. Unfortunately it's starting to show it's age, and the build quality issues are starting to show up more and more.

Have you gotten your 6P yet? If so, thoughts?

Had a chance to either get the Oneplus Two, but wasn't impressed with the price point for the upgrades even though it's a good bang for the buck. Stuck with the current phone.

Also didn't like the Oneplus X that although you get a cheaper phone had some good stuff built in, I figured nothing too major to switch from the current phone.

I would personally get a new Android phone like the Samsung or something and root and get rid of the bloat ware and install VM13. Been the goto for half a year now.
I wanted the OnePlus X, however they didn't build in band support for ATT so it was a no-go.

We only found aftermarket ones since the phone is relatively new, which means they aren't likely to be Gorilla Glass 3 like OEM. Just the glass; AMOLED seems fine. May have to break down and take it to a shop. $200 to get a new replacement phone from Verizon.
