couldn't find a dedicated 5s Plus thread so hope this is the place.
I read alot of great reviews on the Xiaomi 5s Plus, before I buy, I want to ask what are the top 3 things you "dislike" about this phone?
Camera, ROM support and usb 2.0
Gesendet von meinem MI 5s Plus mit Tapatalk
not so good camera it no optical stabilisaton, no screen protection, aluminium body material is very soft, easy to scratch. my opinion that rom support is good if you want flash new builts by yourself. every week new release. no one device in world have weekly based updates i think.
This is not true. First update, 2 weeks delay, second update and this week.again delay (firmware update).
Gesendet von meinem MI 5s Plus mit Tapatalk
But Mi MIX, Mi Note 2, Mi 5s also has delayed update for this week. Their are new phones, developers working on full stability, new Android etc., later it will have normally weekly update. One week more waiting isn't that much if you have fully working rom.

Nexus is dead, Pixel is nothing (just a Nexus with iPhone price) and Samsung is dead (Exynos/Knox/kernel source), so what is the best phone for LineageOS? I really don't like OnePlus anymore, because for the same price I get a S7 Edge with VR, warrenty and local support (Samsung service point). Car charger for 30 bucks, dash charger, dash cable... f... that!
For now I got a Mi Max Prime (64GB version) and a Mi5s Plus which is just like a 100$ phone compare to firmware support for a highend device (buggy firmware, no real updates, no Xiaomi support (flop)). Don't get me wrong, the hardware is genius (dualsim, 128GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 821, 3800 mAh, QC and for under 400€ with import and shipping) but it feels like the first CM alpha builds from a S3 with Exynos :/
So I need to switch... I looking for a new powerful device with great ROM support, like OnePlus. The battery (SOT) is on the first position, after LineageOS support.
What you think? Switch to the old Nexus 6p, buy a OnePlus 3T (it is the last option for me) or maybe a other phone? A brand new S7 Edge I can get for 400 bucks, a Mi Note 2 for 550 but I really don't care anymore... good battery and official LineageOS is what I need for the future.
I hope you guys can help me.
Regards

right now i'm enjoying my Nexus 6p, but if you want something newer the OP3T is your best shot
That is pretty much how i feel with my old LG g3.
Last I checked the Nexus 7 from 2013 had community support well into 2016. So maybe we should all stop placating Google/Oracle in their resource gluttony & update rampaging....
My 2 cents.
What about the Asus Zenfone 3? So far that's the best hardware I've seen for the lowest price. The software is the only thing I don't like about them so much but so far it beats all the other overpriced iPhone comletitors

I'm no developer and don't plan to be, but, how does a phone enters development support for CM and now LeanegeOS?

If a dev like this phone or using this phone now, he'll build it
Change your mi5s plus for mi5
Xiaomi...cheap and great
I am using redmi 2 for over a year now. Couldn't be happier with it
I already got the Mi5 and it was a beast with MIUI but the Mi5 get real firmware support. In 60 days we get 5 (stable) updates and anything works perfect but 5 inch is to small
Its a pain to unlock bootloader but it works...
When I look at the OnePlus 3T: Unlock bootloader in one min., TWRP already official, Kernel source released, based on Android 7.1 official and ROMs like LineageOS already works perfect, without official build.

I use a note 3 Samsung with lineageOs and it works great! I wouldn't change it (ir, micro sd, battery that you can change, etc.)

The best is redmi note 3 of course ,what else can it be !

Zuk z1 , yureka , and one plus can be preffered as these phone officially ran on cm os ....
ALSO IN zuk z1 rooting and bootloader unlocking is covered under warranty

I think Wileyfox will be a good choice in the near futur. Bootloader unlocking is the easiest I've ever done. They made good price, good quality product, official Cyanogenmod support (but it's over now). They don't make overpriced product like OnePlus or ****ty one like Xiaomi (7 days just to have a code to unlock the bootloader) and Xiaomi have brand new smartphone variant every week. Redmi note, redmi note prime, redmi Pro, redmi note pro.... Hard to follow.
I've bought a wileyfox Swift 2 at 189€ - 30€ = 159€ on the official website after broke my OnePlus 1 screen. I find it's better than my OP1 except for the photography and for the rom support.
I've got before a moto g (peregrine + falcon) ZTE open C, Fx0, oneplus 1, Redmi note 4 sold 2 weeks after receive it. And wileyfox is one one the best quality/price I've ever had just after the Fx0.
not the "best" only "best fit"
Hi,
why not the ZTE Axon 7 (snapdragon 820, >=4Gb RAM; back fingerprint, usb-c + QC, Amoled; good photograph) ?
david
I have now a Xiaomi MI4 but for sure a Zaxon 7 is a good choice
Xiaomi MI5S plus user here. LineAgeOS is working for my phone (unnoficial), but is great!

I sell my mi5s plus, got the mi5s but main phone is the OnePlus 3T and it looks like I will never switch from OnePlus, because easy bootloader unlock and support for custom roms.
Hi
I'm a CM/Lineage user since 2012, I'm currently using a M8 with LOS14.1 but I need a new phone and having a Lineage Official Rom is a must for me. It obviously needs to be better than the one I have right now (specially the camera and battery) and the rom bug free.
I've been looking into the left bar on the downloads page trying to figure out the best phones running LOS officially but it's not easy, there are too many phones and opening the threads to figure out if the rom is stable or not, then searching for specs and prices takes a lot of time, if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.
Moto z, x pure, x play, g4, in that order!
Enviado desde mi SM-G531H mediante Tapatalk
Thanks. X pure (or style in my area) wasn't in my list but I will definitely check it out. Better camera, best SOC, screen, bigger battery, I can keep the front facing speakers and save a few bucks.
The Z is not an option, it's over my budget and I'm not a fan of the design.
How about Xiaomi Mi5

The Mi5 was my first option, I ordered one two day ago but I had to cancel the order when I noticed the lack of LTE band20, it is completely useless in my area.
Hello, a month ago i bought a Lenovo Tab3 8 Plus (TB-8703F) and I'd like to know if this custom rom is compatible with this tablet? It has Snapdragon 625 octacore 2.0Ghz, 64 bits and 3 GB Ram
Thanks in advance
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5000 mediante Tapatalk
Me too - am really enjoying LineageOS on my Oneplus One. At this point I might settle for any custom Rom for this Lenovo Tab. The stock Rom is hinky (technical term) and no updates that I've seen.
please make it happen, I need 7.0
this tablet is under USD 150 in gearbest, such a great price for sd 625 tablet. I hope some developer gets one these tablets so we can get los 15
Enviado desde mi SGP712 mediante Tapatalk
It would be great, this tablet needs really Nougat.
But i'm afraid it doesn't attract enough interest
plus my rom went crazy after a security update and not it won't see my sd card anymore
double sadness for me
any news??
Since Lenovo publish the sources of this tab in march there is at least a chance so see custom kernel or roms within the next weeks.
I think, stay patient.

performance wise, it is pretty much the same. not really an upgrade. except you want to upgrade the screen size & front camera.
The Mi6 was/is an extremely fast, extremely smooth phone.
Where the 5T excels is that the screen is larger, it's amoled, the developer community Annnnnd updates are unparalleled.
However... The Mi 7 is on the horizon.
The main reason to go for one plus is for better roms and development.
I'm just surprised Mi 6s hasn't been announced yet.
Btw which has a better camera?
of course 5T all the way. I mean if money is not my problem, I'll go for 5T. The only advantage of mi6 from 5T is using the same processor and cheaper.

miui doesn't support camera 2 api without root and as before you can't rely agood camera from miui, with modded google camera i can turn crappy redmi note 4 camera into a beast. but until now google does not have dual camera phone then there is not much option for dual camera phones.
i heard that 5T camera isn't good as 5, maybe future software update can solve it.
3T camera also seems pretty broken, camera cant focus properly.
Mi 6 is performing great and I cannot see any problems with the camera.
I should have the OP5T in a few days time. Will do a camera and speed test comparison on my channel (see my sig)

Was using Mi 5s with LOS rom
I belive the Mi 5s has a better sensor than the Mi 6 as it uses the same sensor from last years google pixel

I think you do not know what you're talking about, the Xiaomi Mi6 does not envy an op5t at all and plays in the same league, in fact the ceramic version of the Mi6 is a luxury, it's as fast as the oppo
I'll have Mi 6 (miui ROM) vs op5t speed test video hopefully up tonight/tomorrow morning on my YouTube channel.
Vid is up

Hi, i've been on holiday for a week, and now i find the roms section full of new ones. Have i missed something? One year without roms and now a ton in a week?
And... Is there a better choice or at least a comparison list? I don't know which one ti chiose
I am currently on AOSIP, fully working, except GCam, the only thing i really miss....
I think that its because leaked xiaomi have anounced that mi max familly will be discontinued and now devs is interesting on mi max 3 for develop roms because no max 4 soon
Only i think
I have 4/64 and i order a 6/128 blue for 200 bucks in case that we dont have an alternative to this 10/10 device
No max 4 no change mobile
