I guess that the "L" in Android L stands for Lollipop:
Lemon meringue layer cake. Screw your Lollipop.

This was actually...not completely terrible. I saw the amount of dislikes and assumed it was.
Edit: anyone seeing an ad for a Gizoogle? Haven't seen Sprewells in a minute.
Lol, there's a C walkin snoop when I searched.

There's no such thing as Motorola OS. They use stock too.

by that logic, everyone uses stock. even Amazon or some toaster.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't follow

So my LG G2 has a grey mark down the left side of the screen and the bottom left corner. The mark isn't the same size thoughout.
Any ideas on how to sort it out?
Any ideas on how to sort it out?
Maybe 3.5 hours browsing, some phone calls, a lot of texting, music streamin from Google Play for 40 mins, and taking some pictures. I was also drinking the entire day so I could be off a little lol. Ended the night with 5% battery left and 6.5 hours of screen time
It's not stock.

You're disgusting. Licorice is the bane of my existence. Absolutely disgusting "candy".
You were drunk while posting these results?! It could be 65 hours but you thought you saw 6.5 . Now I can't trust you anymore

Stock means the OS it shipped with (or was subsequently updated to) -- basically what the device was "stocked" with. TouchWiz is stock on Galaxy phones. Moto skin is stock on Moto phones. Sony skin is stock on Sony phones.
What you guys are calling stock is better referred to as Google Experience, or AOSP (although I'm not sure if AOSP by definition excludes Google Apps).

It's stock but with a few Motorola bits, exclusive features and a different camera app on top.

In this conversation, stock was referring to stock Google, , not manufacturer stock.
Ok here's the thing, no one is actually stock. No manufacturer ships a phone with AOSP, not even Googy. They put the GNL on there, the Gapps, Google camera, etc.
So yes Moto is running stock just as much as Google is running stock. They've added an app called Moto, their camera app, and they're using GNL. They haven't done any OS modifications iirc.

and LG just added some LG apps...
So Google putting their own apps, on the OS they make and one they solely update via OTA doesn't make it stock. Damn. Where the fuck have I been
😟
The voice of reason in this mad place.
Stock sucks anyway. Crap customization options.
Give me CM or SlimKat over stock any day.

Really. Can't believe they still don't have an option to show battery percent in the status bar. That is the most asinine thing ever.
Stock + Xposed
Anyway, I can't believe people are shitting on Stock in an Android thread. What next, Touch Wiz isn't that bad...
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Stock is good, but CM does add some useful custom advances.
.... and changed system settings, and added a dozen system options, and skinned over everything, and use their own launcher....
What? Stock = AOSP.

Stock is boring and barebones. Yes it is good for having little bloatware and crap on it, but in terms of customization and options, any other UX has much more.
Ftfy
It's not all about specs. Get the Moto G if you want a phone you'll enjoy using.
Their apps are bloatware.

Dude relax, everyone knows what we mean. It's just phones.
Yea.
I'm hoping google is forced to include an option for different browsers/email apps on first log in.
Holy shit. I don't even use my 10 (I have 3 other people on my plan with me too), but I kinda hold myself back. This is extremely tempting...
edit: made the change, effective next billing cycle. I'll be adding my girlfriend to my plan next year which will bring my total lines to 5. Just can't pass this up.
With my 15% off, it'll 30GB for 4 phones for like $197 or something. It's extremely tempting.
Probably not. They don't have a monopoly in Europe.
Yep, I have 17% off.
I charge my sister/dad/grandpa $40-45 for their lines. It makes it good deal for all!
They have a monopoly in the states.
Kit Kat was also shelved for the SP.
You can already install whatever you want and disable/force close what you don't want.
Monopoly?
Samsung phones and others come with their own aosp web browsers as default along side chrome. The aosp browser has double the market share of chrome mobile still. Email is an app that is from the aosp and most manufacturers skin or alter a bit. You can also disable most Google services.

for reals people. Anyway what would it take for me to get that phone? Why can't a manufacturer make the perfect device/line of devices. Or something close to it.
I hate these tradeoffs. They have time. I got the iphone 6 for now but I'm willing to dump it at a moments notice for the device I described
It's a good device for what you pay for it. It's not perfect but no phone is.
