Is there a custom wp7 rom for the Nexus One? I ask this because I just upgraded to an Atrix and would like to have a wp7 for my wife to try out. I'm really trying to get her into smartphones. Any help and/or direction would be great.

Nope since WP7 is the property of Microsoft and such. The closest would be trying Metro UI Launcher in the market. I used to use that but after getting a Focus I can say that even though it's an amazing launcher, it's a farcry from the real experience of WP7.
Thanks for the response. One more question. You said it was a far cry from wp7. Do you think Metro UI offers enough of an experience somewhat similar to the real thing so it would satisfy her curiosity? She has 0 experience with smartphones, so I was wondering if I could just kind of toss that at her and say "Try this out, if you like it I'll get you a wp7?"

I would say it does. It's one of the better WP7 UIs around. But just stick with the main pages and don't get into customizing the appearance. It can get complicated.
Awesome! Thanks guys!
How is that Atrix anyways

Its pretty nice. It was $119 at Costco with a bunch of cheap accessories included. I do miss the trackball on the N1. I was running cyanogen mod on my N1 and going to Motoblur isn't all that bad, but I'll probably get rid of it eventually and go back to Launcher Pro. The phone is more than powerful enough to handle blur. The screen is really nice. The back cover is weird though, it snaps on, is super thin, and really flexible. Overall, I think it is well made. I've been a moto fan though since the E1, so I'm just excited to see they are doing well again.

Why don't you just take her to an AT&T to try out a phone?

I was in a similar situation. Wife didn't want a new phone, especially not one of my huge hard-to-use smartphones (I had an HD2 previously). But I went ahead and ordered her a Omnia 7 anyway (I really wanted to have one car mount etc). When the phones arrived I just gave her the box and left it up to her what to do with it - and the next day she finally opened it and had a look. Turns out she absolutely loves it and would never go back. Must have been real easy to get going with also as she didn't ask any questions during setup - after she only asked how to get FB chat, Messenger and a few other functions.
So I'd say, just get her one. Chances she won't like it are slim.
I'm about to buy an LG G3 for 350 euros. (16 Gb, black)
I don't want to buy another mobile phone within at least 2-3 years as I'm starting high studies and I won't have much to spend then, but I really need a mobile that can handle everything and can last a lot.
Do you think it's worth it or is there another mobile coming soon that's better? Is it going to be supported by the community for a long time?

One can always wait for the next great product.
If you like the features then get the phone. It has gotten good reviews and has a good reputation here.
Go for it. This phone should last you the amount of time you want it to without it feeling outdated by the 1 year mark. Hard to say what will be our in 3 years but I plan to keep mine for to better part of 3 years.
I'd wait and see if there's gonna be a new nexus phone with L or go for the N5. This phone lags sometimes, has pretty low development activity (yeah, I know the reason, no complaint but a fact). After my nexus 4, I should've gone with the N5. The G3 is an okay phone in my opinion and looks sexy but the wow factor is missing for me...
The phone is great ..... but its really what you want your phone for and whether it fits those particular needs, I'm afraid there is no absolute answer, its about your needs and whether this phone fits them or another is more suitable.
I would advise research and checking it out and the competition, sorry no easy answers.

I'll try to tell you my history, from a person that doesn't change their phone every 3 months, or.. in a better way, a xda-user exception.
Got the Gnexus almost on the end of its lifespan (4 months before Nexus 4 release). It lasted 2 years when I gladly changed it to LG G3.
I saw a lot of reviews to after choose LG G3. What you will see outside is questions about the battery life due to the "unnecessary" QuadHD display.
Having a Gnex for 2 years is undoubtedly a nice school for battery life and screen on time use...
I really don't care about that after having that phone for 2 years.. and in every aspect besides battery life, LG G3 wins (for me).
So, tl:dr, buy it without doubt, grab a spare battery if you care so much. The design and the display of LG G3 destroy every other phone released till today.

Well, yeah, if you can't wait, go into a shop and try it, play around with it and decide how it feels for you. At end it's gonna be u using it I'm not happy with it but I'm okay with it personally. Only reason I got it is that I broke my nexus 4 and got a good deal on it from my SP. Otherwise I was thinking about ordering a nexus 5. Had it in my hand, used it before, I just simply love nexus phones for aosp android, quick updates knowing Google is behind it and if they screw something up in the software they will be quick to release a fix while manufacturers won't be, and to be honest they make shifty UI except Sony imo but I had 2 Xperia phones, both were flagship devices and both sucked.
But as said before, it's your own personal preference. Try it in a shop and you'll see it for yourself. It looks really sexy with the huge display with the tiny bezels and reminds me of the nexus 5 a bit as well. Though I miss my aosp android experience and the quick updates. I however appreciate for instance the IR control and the camera.

The Note 3 was announced early last September and released at the end. Samsung staff have been told there's going to be no annual leave around the middle of Septemeber, the correlates to what happens around their releases. There's no way they'd wait over a month from when they announce to being on sale.
The G3 struggles with the 801 powering it. Check out the videos of a comparison of the G3 805 Vs G3 801. Check out the articles on Samsung's new QHD screen technology also,it uses less power. There may be other better phones out later this year or next but it would be mad to buy an 801 QHD phone when the other major companies are about to release their 805 versions.

Just out of interest, would that be a grey import? The cheapest I can find in UK which is probably imported from EU is £390 which is about 480 Euros. Or is it second hand? Makes more sense if it is the latter.

Ok so I don't know if I should have this discussion here or not but here it is.
How many are tired of their pixel I have a XL and Pixel both are unlocked and on stock they was originally on pure Nexus and at first I loved this phone but here lately I hardly even use my phone when I had my note 5 I always used it but idk if it's because I am getting older or what but I think I'm going to sell my pixels and move on to another device . Anyone else getting a lack of interest in the pixel?
Agree, you're getting older.

You probably should've researched your phone buying choice more
The beautiful thing about the Pixel is that everything just works. I have an S8+ and don't really use it because it's just not a smooth experience. I also just got a OnePlus 5, and it's not really a match either (worse display & camera).

Have you any idea how ridiculous your op is? There was no insult I was just mirroring your mature thoughts about growing old. Leave it at that and buy another device. You're getting older and this device is just not for old folks.

I think all you Pixel lovers are going to be in for a rude surprise when these start failing in large numbers like the Nexus 6P did. This phone is poorly engineered and runs way too hot internally. Unless Google has managed to reinvent the wheel high temperatures and electronic components have never been a good combination. The Pixel also has truly dreadful speakers. The 6P sounded so much better Google should really be ashamed. They're charging 300 dollars more for a device that runs much hotter than the 6P and which actually sounds worse than a garbage phone that my friend got for 30 dollars at the Cricket Store. I honestly think Pixel owners are in complete denial when it comes to this phone. Yeah the Pixel runs fast and smooth but the CPU gets so hot to achieve that performance that you'll probably have to buy a new Pixel every two years.
I have no problem with Pixel manufacturing or design, aside from the frame not being glued to the screen in the top right corner, which every Pixel device has, no idea why.
My problem with Pixel is that it is a dumb phone compared to something like Note or even Galaxy. All it does is browse the internet, that's it. It does browse very fast, but I could have gotten an iPhone if I wanted a fast dumb phone...
Not a bright OP really, stuttered to figure the English out anyway.
No, not tired of the phone, seven months old mine, and I love it. Best android phone I've ever owned, all I ever wanted was smooth android and Pixel is the first one fulfilling my need, so I'm gonna keep it for as long as I can unless I am really sold to the next iteration. Garbage UI like Samsung and LG's exists, making Pixel the so much better phone anyway.
Pardon the troll above mine, as always.
Lmao the fact people can't take a joke and differentiate between a joke and seriousness is sad.... my op was a serious question all of you who had to make a attempt at being funny ruined a real conversation. It's funny that's y'all was ok with being a prick till it got turned around on you. This is the internet so best not get offended over pettiness. I still stand by my op. It's sad you can't have a conversation these days without some smart as es who gotta ruin it for everyone.....
The pixel could have been alor better idc who you are but is my opinion you could have contributed to this post instead you had to try and be funny. As for the conversation it's still open is like to hear you thoughts

Not for old folks? I'm 76 and loving the rooting and romming of my Marlin. But now that I know it's not for old folks I guess I'll have to get rid of it and dig out the old Star-Tac.
Thinking about taking the plunge and getting a Oneplus 5, but wondered if anyone has any opinion on whether the camera on the HTC 10 is better? It's the only thing holding me back currently.
it is a htc 10 thread buddy . dont ask such stupid question here. sorry if you got offended .
Was thinking about it but with all the negative reviews it's getting lately I think I'll stick with my 10.

Hello, yes i've jumped ship, currently have both devices, the camera on the OP5 for all it's bad points, no IOS, pretty woeful zooming capabilities, it's actually a superb shooter, I'm a massive critic so i do always look for the worst (check some of my previous threads and you'll see just that)
But honestly, it's decent, i actually lost my first oneplus 5 within the first 5 days and i was so impressed with the speed of it, the camera, the overall feel and build of it, i bought another one
It's a great device which deserves the praise it didn't quite get if that makes sense.
Before anyone thinks i'm bashing the HTC 10, far from it, my HTC history is vast and I'll always go back to them, however this year i felt like a change and i'm glad i made it, community seem pretty vibrant too, quite a few roms already and i've already got my phone the way i want it.
Choice would be yours really mate, the only thing i miss from the 10 is the OIS, beyond that I'm not left wanting.
PS: HTC 10 is currently on swappa, one very loved device.
PPS: I dont' listen to reviews, i like to see for myself and in all honesty the reviews beyond OIS haven't been true in my case, i've not had a single issue with either device i've had, bare in mind that if you were to base your phone choices off reviews, HTC wouldn't sell any
Usually, I don't really like topics like this.... But now I need your opinions, guys!
Accidentally smashed my op3 and now I need a new toy.
Already watched a massive amount of videos on YouTube about the razer phone. Love the style, the shape.
However, I'm still can't decide.
Razer or OP5T?
I'm waiting for your thoughts, opinions, etc.
Thanks in advance.
i had the razer phone i sent it back less than a week, dont get me wrong love the retro metallic build and speakers. but the software seems unfinished and non optimised. the screen as fluid as it is @ 120hz just cannot compare to the OP5T in vibrancy and the screen on the RP is just shockingly too dim (even the Nokia phones have brighter LCD Screens). the op5t just feels more polished and its software more snappy. I really REALLY REALLYYYYYYY wanted to like the Razer Phone, but OP5T just seems to me a much better overall package having used both. This is totes subjective of course ...
Gave away my s8 plus and got the Razer. Love it exept for the camera. Se what they will to when oreo hits. But If I where you i would go with 5T.

Yepp and still isn't any good in my opinion, sadly.
I've got both infront of me currently, struggling to decide.
Unfortunately the 5T is giving me a bit of trouble recently.
The others are right, the RP screen is absolutely darker than others, roughly 60% of the 5T brightness and colours can seem a little washed out due to AMOLED vs LCD.
Battery life isn't anything to shout about either really and don't get me started on the camera! jeez.
Lastly, and this might come as a shock, the 5T puts out more decibels than the razer phone, the last update really undermined the volume and now my 5T has about 15% more volume, not clearer of course, but yeh.
All that being said, the Razer phone is built well, and the 120hz screen is nice! I'm trying to justify the brightness by the fact that Razer are wanting to reduce burn in and prolong the life expectancy of the phone, I guess it's not too bad really.
I'm gonna keep using the razer and sell the one I like the least after a week. Don't get me started on the camera or should I say "potato".
The one thing I don't like about the display is that it is "sunken". Nowadays most displays the glass and the picture are together, like you're literally touching the pictures. But on the Razer, you can tell that the picture is below the glass, which is weird as I haven't seen that in phones in the past 3 to 4 years at least. Not sure if I explained that correctly, but that's a con to me. I think mkhbd mentioned this in the preview video
I'm thinking about buy the phone to replace my LG V10 battery life pretty much bad on it and LG pressing trying me to buy a battery for it but they not selling it them from the website

LCD screens don't burn in. That's pretty much an AMOLED trait. The low brightness is a consequence of the 120hz technology.
after all the issues i've had with the Razer from the moment it went live to buy and now loosing a SE for a standard edition (currently using a wileyfox while the RMA process is happening) I considering selling mine on to get a different phone too.
The OP5T was on my radar as a replacement but if i'm honest I don't trust the company anymore, after the OP5 (which I had before the Razer) and it's hardware issues and OP halting the manufacturing of it so quickly so no one could buy anymore screamed of a new one with the hardware issues fixed and on top of that then there's the personal info they were taking it was the final straw and I sold the OP, of course I cuold have flashed a custom ROM onto it but i'm kinda done with that whole thing these days myself.
if you're set on the two devices it's a hard call. if you don't mind the OP personal info thing and never got burnt from them before (grant that little bit there is completely personal to me) then go for the OP5T, it'll have fantastic custom ROM support too if that's something you want.
my personal other option was the Essential Phone which tbh I think i'll get instead.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I was thinking about the Essential phone, too.... But impossible to buy it in the EU(legally)

you can get amazon US to ship you one which is what my plans are when I get the Razer phone back and sell it on, but yeah overall as of right now the OP5T has the better experience (other than sound quality of course)

Wow, just checked it and realised, I could order it from the US.
To be honest the phone looks amazing, however there is no community (especially here at xda) at all.

You're right the development portion of the device is lacking on here but the company do bi weekly ask me anything on the subreddit so they're very vocal. If I'm honest the lack of support imo is because of the A/B partition (something the razer has) and the lack of sales due to it costing so much on release. Now it's went down and essential are implementing project treble it might get better via custom ROMs
But again that's not very important to me anymore.

LCD screens don't burn in. That's pretty much an AMOLED trait. The low brightness is a consequence of the 120hz technology.

Actually, LCD can burn in. It's just far more rare.

Actually, I never claimed it COULDN'T. I said it's more of an AMOLED issue. I have yet to see an LCD burn in.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said. I figured "don't" meant they never do.

I could have stated it better. Sorry if I came off as snarky.

No problem. I think we can all agree that the Razer's screen is inferior to the 5T's screen in every way except the refresh rate.

I couldn't agree more. Yet every time I go into a store and play with one of the new iPads, I nearly pull the trigger for that 120hz display. I think if it was at least brighter, there would be no hesitation.
No way I can view 400 nits outside in a Texas summer, though.
