G+_Alexander Smith (Tracer Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 What phone sould I get? Hey ladies and gent's I need help from this awesome Community. I am stuck on US Cellular. just smashed my screen on my (stock, rooted) Galaxy S3 so now it's time for an upgrade. I want a something as close to nexus as possible. I am willing to go thru and ROM the phone but don't know what ROM is the closest and what phone to get that would support said ROM. I was thinking either Galaxy S5 or Moto X. Thanks in advance.

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd say either are a great choice. The MotoX is cheap inexpensive, runs relatively stock Android, and they have a great track record, thus far, on system updates. The SGS5 is a great, yet expensive, device. It runs TouchWiz, but it's already been rooted (and probably ROM'd). I think you'll be happy with either device, but I would lean towards the MotoX (the active display and touchless controls are awesome). This coming from a guy who has the Nexus 5, glaringly jealous of some of the features in my wife's MotoX. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Alexander Smith (Tracer Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks Joseph Cappellino . for me money is less an issue, but IF I got the GS5 I was wondering from the ROMers which one to go with.... if I didn't get a good answer I had planned to default to the Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Alexander Smith - From my experience, CDMA ROM'd phones are never quite right. Maybe that's just Verizon, and doesn't affect US Cellular as much. Try the forums on xda-developers for the SGS5 for US Cellular. That should give a decent idea on what the ROM experience is like.

G+_Chris Corrice Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've had the moto X for six months and you will love it. It's totally worth it. Search for reviews and you'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Alexander Smith (Tracer Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I went with the SGS5 after a friend let me run with them both for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
