Well Its that time to retire my LG Volt I have been looking for a new toy. Just curious on what device my fellow Volt users moved on to or will be moving to. Let me know what device use guys recommend. Device has to be able to be rooted I will appreciate any recommendations thanks
 
Moto G4 for me. Made the jump because the price was right, and the screen, processor, and new OS without needing to root/install CM just felt good. Pro tip, though, there's no compass or NFC. I don't personally miss it since my Volt's compass was spotty at best and I never use NFC, but if you use either of those two you might want to look elsewhere.

LG Stylo, still on Boost. I only paid $80 back in February after my Volt fell out of my pocket at a bus stop.

I'm currently looking to buy an unlocked Moto G4 Plus. Walmart sells them for about $250 online.

Moto G4 for me.
How is multitasking with 2GB of RAM? I used a Galaxy S6 Edge+ for a bit and I liked how I could stream music, view a site in the browser, open hangouts to send a message and go back to the browser without the page reloading. The Volt or Stylo would have to reload the page and probably would stop streaming due to low memory.

Lg stylo 2 I have been looking at but I am still undecided I am looking for something with at least 2gb of ram or more
I would go for something with a higher PPI and that can be rooted (boost's can't due to locked bootloader).
It's not a bad screen but you'll need to adjust the DPI at least.

There's should be a discussion showing you how to go back to stock. Also I'm pretty sure the creator of the post might've created a video showing you all the steps. Cheers, let me know if you need more guidance.
