My T-Mobile Vibrant aka Galaxy S was rooted and unlocked running CyanogenMod 7 with ac!d soundmod and overclocked but it died last year. Now running a T-Mobile HTC One rooted on CyanogenMod 11with Viper4Android for amazing sound. I'd recommend Viper4Android to anyone who listens to music on their phones. louder, clear, more bass you name. speaker gets a great improvement too.

How's the 1020? How's the camera?
-
S3 rooted. Its rooted so I don't have to pay for games.
-
I use to play games but now just play some games. Mostly use my phones for music, movies, reading and sometimes testing out apps and mods.
-
True, I rarely game nowadays. Root just to root. I visit XDA developers for all my goodies.
-
My phones have to be rooted and jailbroken. Stock is just to boring and I need to tweak my phone for better day to day use. Battery life was bad on my HTC One when it was stock. Lost 20% battery just sitting in my locker while I was at the gym. Now I can use it for hours at the gym.

The 1020 is ok. I've mentioned it in the past that the only thing lacking are apps and especially google apps (youtube, chrome). Battery life is ok but damn the camera is awesome for a smart phone. Video recording is the best I've seen as well for a smart phone. I have just read the reviews of Sony's new phone but I have yet to see the video and photo qualities. I got this phone to replace my iphone 4 and I truly wanted to replace my point and shoot along with hauling around my dslr. Sure it's not nearly as good as my Canon but for a phone it is damn awesome for spur of the moment photos.

When Windows Phone first came out I liked the OS but now 4 years it hasn't progressed well. OS is smooth but lacks many things and apps need to catch up. The camera is pretty good on your phone tho. My iPhones and HTC One take good pictures.
-
I actually don't mind the OS. It's sleek and pretty fast for a core duo. It would have been even better with a quad but I can imagine what the battery life would be. If they had stuck on a larger battery and sacrificed some of it's thickness I think many owners would be happier. The tiles may bore some users but I like the simplicity of it. Come to think of it Apple and a few Androids are starting to adopt M$'s live tiles.
Apps for M$ are a joke. Thank god I don't use apps. Use my other phone and tablet for that.
-
Shattered the screen on my iPhone 5 so I had to use a HTC Windows Phone. It was painful until I got my HTC One. The OS is nice but since it lacks a lot I couldn't deal with it. Wish they would have just made Windows Mobile function with the smoothness of Windows Phone. I don't like live tiles or widgets except for music widgets. My screenshots show how I set up my iPhone and One.

Just switched to Sinless Sense ROM. Kinda miss using the camera on Sense so gonna give it a go. Beats Audio and Viper4Android make a nice combo for audio but kinda miss how Viper4Android sounded on CM11. Gonna see how performance and battery are for awhile then see if I'll keep it. It does get annoying with the different configurations .

Just updated to 8.1. Pretty impressed with the new update.

Notification Center, better multitasking, and other things. Haven't checked it out yet but been reading on it.
-
Cortana, swipe to text, battery app monitor, the massive real estate for the home screen is nice. I can't imagine what the 1520 would look like.
-
I like my home screens simple LoL
-
I usually do to but there's quite a bit of space. I just put everything that I use on one screen.probabl y doesn't help my battery though.
-
I do a lot on my phone so I need every bit of juice I can get from my phones. Don't like widgets either. Plus I like looking at my background LoL.

Rooted Gs3 on AOSP kitkat. Gets better call quality than TouchWiz.
-
Was never a fan of TouchWiz. My Galaxy phone I always put Cyanogenmod on it.
-
I've tried just about all the roms that are on xda and I like LiquidSmooth the best. It's fast, stable and good on battery drain.

Viper4Android sound mod has been my main reason for rooting. Sound is amazing on most headphones especially my Beats Solo HD.

Been using ExtremeBeats sound mod along with Viper4Android and everything sounds awesome. With my setup you can hear the vocals and background vocals clearly and the bass is amazing. Some days at home I just drown everything out and put on my headphones and get lost in the music.

Just got a Galaxy Note 3 that I use as my multimedia device. Stock, rooted, and sound mods Viper4Android and ExtremeBeats Studio. Since I only use on WiFi I been getting great battery life on it. Can go over a day of just listening to music and watching movies. Still tweaking the sound system since I can't get it to sound as good as my HTC One m7.
-
So now my setup on my HTC One is Viper4Android FX, Viper4Android XHiFi, ExtremeBeats Studio, and Dolby Digital Plus. On my Note 3 i have Viper4Android FX, Viper4Android XHiFi, ExtremeBeats Studio 2.0, Pon-3,and Dolby Digital Plus. Music just sounds so awesome whether if I'm listening from my Skullcandy earphones, my speakers and sub in my room, or in the car. Vocals are clear, music is clear. you can hear the high, mids, and lows. Makes cars sound like they have a system. Even the phone speakers are louder and clearer.

The videos don't do the phones justice but you can get the idea
