Wasn't in the market for a new phone but my coworker is in a bad money situation and is selling me his Google Playstore Pixel XL for 600 bucks. Not a bad deal considering they are going for over 700 bucks on swappa. I currently have the S7 Edge and I really like having the back button on the right side of the phone but the Pixel has it on the left side of the phone... Anyway around this other than rooting and using custom ROM?

128gb model? If so, sounds good. Wouldn't bother with the 32gb as there's no sdcard slot.
Don't know about back button mods unless custom roms, etc. I always root, rom ASAP.

Multiple Roms have this feature, it's a trivial matter to read the OP of a few Roms to find out honestly.
Also, deciding on a phone based on the location of the back button is rather silly. Just because at this moment you are used to the current location of the back button does mean you can't adapt to a different orientation. A few days of use and you will get used to it.

You can even do this on the stock rom

This was one of the things I missed the most coming from the s5. I believe there is a mod in the mods section which has the nav bar tuner but you might need root. I was also waiting for development to pick up before doing anything and now I'm on PureNexus which has the nav bar tuner. You should consider trying it out. It's 100% as stable as stock. I feel its a little snappier and the battery life is also better. Other than a few extra settings it is no different than stock.
It's available in stock firmware as well as custom firmwares. With stock, you can only accomplish this with root at the moment, until Google decides to release it's Navbar Tuner from System UI Tuner.
It would be worth rooting, changing the setting, then fully unrooting to do this IMO.
Thanks for all the replies. So is the NavBar Tuner something accessible through system UI Tuner without root? There is conflicting info about this all over the web. Some say it can be done with stock ROM w/out root, others say one must root.
I am excited for this device, it is the 32GB variant but being that I rely so much on the cloud I don't need the added storage.

You can do it without root. But you need to be unlocked and be able to temp boot twrp. From there you can move the apks manually. I know this works because my boy is using my modded system ui, settings, and framework apks using that method.

Hi all-
Been using android tablets for a while now but this is my first android phone (OK, not really, but the last one was on Donut... I don't think that even counts anymore...). Anyways, picked up the one V on Cyber monday ($54 w/tax - $17.50 from fatwallet = awesome!). I have no intention of ever using it as a phone, but it's certainly a nice little android device. I might use it with grooveip to make occasional wifi calls (damn this 2-year iPhone contract...), but other than that, this is just going to be a media player / gaming device.
So I'm just curious: anyone else using one of these as a media player or gaming device, and any suggestions? I've already unlocked and rooted, but so far haven't ROMmed or themed, so I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them, including apps or other uses I haven't though of.
Thanks!
Also- I have it on airplane mode to save batteries. Is there any way to get rid of the "airplane mode" panel on the lockscreen, and the Airplane icon on the status bar? It's not necessary, but it would be nice if anyone knows how to do it.
As for getting rid of the airplane notification, not really.
I gave my HTC Desire to my son, no sim card and he is fine with it. Lots of alternate WiFi calling and texting apps out there.
Basically you'll have an Android powered IPod touch with superior build quality and infinitely customizable.
I recommend buying Titanium backup, app backup to the cloud etc. This way if you play with lots of ROM flashing it is easy to restore all your usual apps, with everything else Google, dropbox etc no computer required.
If your happy with stock, or rooted stock then play away, this is a light weight portable device.
Have fun

I'm certain that fatwallet pending of 17.50 isn't going to go through but if it does, lucky us.
I prefer the stock sense rom because of the camera feature and i swap my kernel so overclocking to 1.8GHz stable. Ram is really limiting the device but firefox seems to work faster than stock/google chrome.
Stuck my 32GB micro sd in it. It's a GPS (navigon), game, web browser, texter (G-Voice).
Lastly, I'll say this I actual like the device's size. Smart phones are getting too big, like my nexus 4. Snowy days like these I'm too scared to take my Nexus 4 to class so I take my HTC one V. I'm not afraid of dropping or being more risky (Nexus 4 glass front/back).
Future I hope there be a quad-core 2GB ram in a size of 3.7 It's nearly the perfect. Like a true phone instead of extra large phone.
PS: Swipe is amazing.

Stock rom is very laggy when it comes to games and apps. This doesn't happen with any other custom rom. If you need it only for gaming I would recommend cyanogenmod 9 or 10, aokp or any other non-sense rom, because sense is very heavy.

I also bought this phone on cyber monday and do not pay for service as I am on T-Mobile and have the sgs3. This is a cool lil phone. Sense is cool and all and am currently running stock because cm based ROMs give me a weaker WiFi signal in my experience since this is a WiFi only device that is a big no no.
I hate HTC bootloader but their build quality is top notch, pretty much the opposite of Samsung which is open yet the build quality is lacking

How do you say "non sequitur" in Russian?
Just curious if anyone else doesn't care about root anymore.
I haven't rooted since I took the Marshmallow update, and I don't miss a thing about root. My phone runs great without a custom kernel or the ability to write to the microSD with apps that don't normally get to do so.
I'm not arguing that being unrooted is better. The only real benefit to not having root is that I can just take the security updates OTA with no fuss or muss. But I'm not paranoid about security updates, so that doesn't matter much to me. It's just that if root was such a good thing, why don't I miss it?
I agree, it isn't work the effort anymore. My next Smart Phone will be Google only.
Yup, haven't rooted in a while. It's nice being able to take the security updates and keep the phone a little more locked down. Only thing I miss is ad blocking.
Not to derail this thread. I have some input for un-rooted users. But also my feelings for root.
You un-rooted users try Adguard? The Google Play version works for Samsung and Yandex browsers only.
The other browsers require the version that comes from their site.
But Adguard is limited to VPN only for un-rooted devices and may use a tad more RAM and battery and be slower. Rooted or not, Adguard may be the best ad-blocker for Android.
What about Good Lock? Can you run that on un-rooted marshmallow phone? Dunno, maybe you can?
Then there's package disabler apps on Google Play that you can use to deal with bloat. Tried those?
However, I'd miss root too much to go without it, personally. No V4A for easy tunes listening, Xposed customization (or custom ROMs) and individual core control, and one of my favorites: modified Swype with top number row and one added shortcut to edit keyboard.
What kind of screen on time are guys getting on battery stats? I usually get 8 hours plus on the stock sized capacity battery but that depends on what I'm using there phone for. -(Browsing seems less intensive compared to streaming, gaming, downloading and talking.-use effects stats the most...)

idk about not needing root lol
but not needing a custom rom is acceptable lol
i know for me im stock rooted only to remove bloat center my clock to put percent in battery instead of on the side
plus once you have adaway and the 1 for youtube you cant go back *At least i think so*
I am not root as yet i have no problem so far yet with the stock rom
I have not rooted since the Marshmallow upgrade, either. I miss Titanium Backup and FolderMount, but I am too lazy to unroot for the frequent security updates.
I specifically root for AdAway and V4A sound processing. Being able to have root is more important to me than Android Pay, Samsung Pay, Samsung Apps Store, and all apps that force 1 minute video ads to play before you can do anything else.
Since Samsung has decided to start locking bootloaders on all new phones they sell, eliminating the possibility to root....its time for me to switch brands and even carriers. Its been a long time coming.
My next phone in 2 months will be on Cricket. I am leaving Sprint Postpaid after 12 years and will be saving $80 a month in plan cost on the 2 phones on my account... even after 18% employer discount on my Everything Data Family 1500 plan. I dont need unlimited data anymore and Cricket has faster LTE than Sprint in my area.
I am looking at buying the Nexus 6P (or the brand new HTC Nexus model), the Motorola Z (if they make an unlocked force edition) or the new Axon 7.

I think root is not needed for now but if note 4 is note get nougat or further updates we will need root for custom roms or add new features our phone
So recently I have purschased a 3T (after my Galaxy S6 exploded) and it's coming to my hands really soon. The question I'm asking myself right now is whether that amazing device is worth rooting. The question is quite bizarre in my case since I am an Android enthusiast and so far I have rooted EVERY SINGLE device I have owned. I also used to be a ROM/kernel developer as well back in the Xperia Arc/HOX/N4/5 days and root was simply essential for me especially that I loved playing around with Android. Referring to my last choice - Galaxy S6 (which replaced my old might Nexus 5) just had to be rooted. I came to Samsung from CLEAN Android experience and no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't make it with tons of Touchwiz bloatware slowing my device down. Now, I have reached the point when I am not really this sure if I'll be rooting OP3T. Now, I just expect a device to be flawless in everyday usage and simply reliable. Any tips? Is it really worth rooting OP3T and sacrificing Oxygen OS OTAs? Or maybe the custom ROMs out there are so outstanding that it's just a must do. Thanks in advance

No i dont think so. Oxygenos is simply smooth you hardly find lag and 6gb is just enough. All my family members using oneplus 3 and 3t. Except me nobody has rooted it. But the performance is so awesome you dont need to root the phone
Btw oneplus warranty includes rooted devices

Even for AdAway, Greenify or SDMaid? Those were quite essential apps for me especially on the crappy GS6. SDMaid could do wonders to put it back to smooth work.
If you find those apps useful, then it's worth it.

Exactly.
For what it is worth, I was a huge AdAway user. I've gotten around it by using Dolphin browser with ad blocking extension. Works every bit as effectively as AdAway for web browsing. Sure, I have to deal with a few ads in some apps, but this is a minor annoyance for me.
I have had the phone since June and never once felt the need to root. As stated earlier, OOS is simply brilliant.

Try YuBrowser on this phone. It's optimized for our Snapdragon and comes with a lot of security. I also use SDMaid.

You don't need greenify bcoz oxygenos has built-in hibernating tool. For blocking ads use can use a adguard which do not required a rooted phone. As far sd maid is concerned i have not used it so i cant comment on that.
If you root the phone and oneplus released a new update you can flash the update ( but u need flash updated full rom available from oneplus website) through twrp. You dont need oneplus recovery.
Hello I just ordered my OnePlus 5T LavaRed 8GB ram 128GB model and switching my main phone from S8+ AT&T version to international. Its funny because its valentine edition phone and it says delivery on the 14th.
Sorry if this is kind of part rant on why i am switching from ATT s8
I have been on a group plan and stuck on AT&T so have not been able to get rootable phones until now. I plan on making my OP5T my main phone and using S8+ for torrented movies and media b/c it has sd card. Or just selling my S8+
Former phones HTC One X -> LG G FLEX -> S7 - S8+ - Now OP5T
I love custom ROMS stock android and hate SAMSUNG overlays , u i love constant updates for newest software which is one reason why i am so excited for OP5T and ditching my s8+
Anyone here have ROM recommendations? I will try stock OOS rooted first to see if I like stock but really want to try Lineage OS rom on OP5T
Anyone have root mod suggestions like Viper 4 Android. I remember that and another reason why im switching to rootable OP5T cause AT&T phones especially samsung are permanently locked.
*Sorry this is pretty much a rant on why i despise US carrier model phones like AT&T locking bootloaders got this too because its cheaper then S8+ international and better specs like 8gb ram etc
I love stock Android too.
Same route: from s8 to op5t midnight black. It is another world mate, infinite battery, smooth as hell, no more **** Samsung UI and I spent 40€ only to switch.
For now I recommend stock oos + magisk for stereo sound mod

The quality is the same as stock, it will use the ear capsule as a secondary speaker so the experience is like Google pixel stereo audio!
This is my second cycle of battery backup
Order a sweet case.....Jump on Official Resurrection Remix Rom(customize everything)...Get Flash Kernel...And your gonna love this phone!!!
Also on AT&T and switching from a Note 5 to the OnePlus 5T Lava Red phone. Beside it already being a beast, I'll stay on the default installed ROM while I get to know its in's and out's and then minimally root it. Right now getting a proper case that fits this phone is more important to me.

AOiSP is pretty nice and DU is good too. But the 1st is closer to what you are looking for and both are updated regularly. DU (Dirty Unicorns) you will have to google. I haven't tried the others but from the descriptions they are the most I was interested in.
Shockingly, it seems the ROM scene is nearly dead, which is sad Right now, there's what 5 ROM's or less for the Pixel 3 XL ? This is Google's flagship top of the line device, there used to be dozens of ROM's for the Nexus phones back in the day. Really bums me out how the smartphone scene has died off in regards to rooting and ROM'ing, and don't even get me started on the DEAD Jailbreak scene too, JB's are practically done for iPhone's, which those phone desperately need, as stock iOS is pure sh!tt.
What happened to the good old days, of buying a T-Mobile Note II, or a AT&T S4 and rooting and ROM'ing the same day you unpackaged it.
I have found that in the end, I go back to stock rooted. The custom ROMs are basically stock, with a few other customization options added.

I used to try just about any and every ROM that came along, but stock Android has evolved to the point that I'm quite happy with it. As long as I can root for Substratum, Pie, and Adaway that's pretty much all I need. Plus, all the stock features work as well. i.e the charging stand, etc.

Totally agree. I like Apple's hardware, they make and design a beautiful looking smartphone with great hardware, but iOS ugh
no back button, notifications suck, no dark mode, widgets suck, the same grid full of app icons, like from 2007, that still in 2019, 12 years later, you are not allowed to move and place anywhere on the screen you would like. A phone call comes in, and takes up the entire screen, kicking you out of what you were doing. Still no T9 dialer. No AoD ( Always on Display )
