So lets talk about it in 2 years, I mean now it is fast, it lasts...you want to tinker with a phone to make it faster, last longer, this and that...but now you don't need that with this phone, it isnalreqdy performang about as good as it gets..that is what I am saying -> talking about the global version of course.

You can customize it all you want with different launchers...

Also I doubt anyone who is messing around with root keeps the same phone for 2 years, usually these guys want the latest out there...

Flagships -> this cost me 500 something Euros on GearBest, Samsung and the rest would have cost me about 300 Euros more (but for LG G7)

So the fact that you dont have open bootloader or sourcecode for the global version of this awesome phone, IN MY OPINION, should not be a big deal...as it already performas great/outperforms other flagships (battery life/sot as an example...this problem seems a bit like a false pretense to me, thats all
no root limit a lot of things, i just have this phone for 1 month and it's a great phone in almost all directions, now i just want a black theme (pure black to save battery and better for the eyes) and it's almost impossible, i tried Substratum & Andromeda but couldn't make it work, if the phone is rooted then there is no issue. And that's just one month, people buy Android for customization, without root it's very very limited!

BBK and Vivo never, NEVER, allowed unlock bootloader, so never, NEVER, we can root at this phone. And they never, NEVER, release sourcecode.
Nex S its a great phone, if you want a open source system OS buy a OnePlus.

OnePlus is ending their open source program... Xiaomi is the way to to for now. I'm loving my Xiaomi Mi Mix 3! Unlocked the boot loader and the source code is available.

Only vivo y51L/y21L/y51/y51A is unlockable at the moment, we got some ROMs but for rooting only cm based ROM can be rooted, nothing else

it appears we are stuck with the Vivo Nex S and Funtouch OS for now.

Current Change thread is at 1,137 ; don't believe growing it will make them react . I Think for Vivo , Userbase is less for users who Root and customize their phones .

Eventually less percentage of Android folks root their phones , if compared to earlier android releases.

And Company focus is already on the next smartphone.

Harveen

WOWOPPO Find X’s kernel source code is now available
https://www.xda-developers.com/oppo-find-x-kernel-source-code/
It's time Vivo consider do the same thing with their flagship
Yeah otherwise they will evade from the market soon because anyone goes for uncommon handset with sd845 is got to be someone with lot of money extra or a tech enthusiast like in the case of pc gamers the second category will never buy it or will buy in hope that it will be released
Every competitive brand does this now anyone who does not evades it's survival of the fittest

Is there someone from Vivo to give us the source code of Vivo Nex S by any means !!! But Vivo should know that If "OnePlus" has become so powerful, especially thanks to his community !!! So Liberé the source code could allow the developer to create any type of thing but always in the right direction to improve the performance of the smartphone, or to change at will his smartphone by a "rom" alternative. So, it is necessary to create a craze is an important community, In my case, it is because of all that I just mentioned that I will never buy a Vivo, even if their next smartphone is at the forefront technology. I will buy another brand because vivo is much too closed on themselves! So "OnePlus" or "Xiaomi" which for me are really the 2 mark that will mark 2019 is the coming years.

I jumped ship from Vivo. I sold my Nex S for a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3
