The Rage....
Galaxy S5.
Why?
I have an S4 and totally loving it. It's obvious the bigger screen on the S5 and better specs will give you more than you need.
It is really expensive though.
Get a S4 then. They are 350 now that they're discontinued.
Yeah. Unless you're a power user, the S4 is still a great phone.
That's why you root it. It's mainly the bloatware that comes on this phone

What do you think of the Oneplus that I posted on the previous page?
I've never heard of it, so I don't know much.

The OPO is also a great phone. There's been some reports of screen yellowing, but I think it's mostly been fixed. Getting one is a little more difficult than it should be, though.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
You say you don't use a phone for much so I don't suggest you get something pricey. There's just no point.

Errrr do you like nintendo emulators because you can get those on Android devices. They're more customisable and you can tune the phones more to your liking.

 iPhones are pretty good too if you want a simplistic phone with a good design. (iphone 6 plus excluded, lol)

Get a Oneplus One, or a HTC One. If you want to save money, buy a phone that used to be flagship.

I suppose you don't happen to have access to a Oneplus One invite?
Apparently you can buy them on ebay for ~$30. It's seriously a stupid system. I totally would have bought one if they didn't do weird invites and shit.

The customisablity is why I'm looking at Android now, yeah.. Plus, iPhone is pretty expensive. I know I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on this because I don't use my phone for all that much, but I do want something that isn't a few years old already. I want this to last me a while.
To be honest so are flagship android phones. The entry level HTC one and Samsung s5 are around £550 which is the same price of the iPhone 6.

To be honest I suggest the HTC one M7. It's got a nice design, similar to the iPhone in terms of build quality and it's been out for around a year so you can get it for pretty cheap. Plus spec wise its great and won't lack or go slow after a year.

It has a 5.5 inch screen, which is a bit overkill. Plus I don't like the OS. According to reviewers the HTC version of Android is the closest to vanilla android. (Vanilla android is supposedly the best)

Why don't you like the OS? Everyone I know that has an Android phone loves Cyanogenmod, even to the point that they invalidated their phone's warranty just to root it on there. Seems like everyone is raving about how good it is.
It's not bad, it's just that I prefer the look of vanilla android and while I would get an nexus device but they suck.

Why do they suck?
The internal hardware such as processor, ram and gpu are high end but the screen isn't of a high quality nor is the camera. I like taking pictures so a good camera is essential. Mind you I'm only talking about the currently released Nexus devices. I have yet to check out the new Nexus 6.

Anything else it's got going for it?
Has this thing called blink feed and it's kinda like the Windows design but it's a hub for your media, social accounts, and anything that has relevance to what you like. You can just scroll for hours reading stuff

Also has an FM radio so if you have no internet then you're still able to pick up radio

Has a dual flash and camera, so while it may be at a lower megapixel than other cameras, it has depth perception and is able to bring in more light due to the dual flash

Dual front-facing speakers so you get a more clear sound

Software called HTC SENSE which allows for the abilities to use gesture control to unlock your phone in a swipe and launch your camera simply by raising it to eye level, silence your ringtone by flipping your phone over, and answer your phone and make calls with simple voice commands.

At least in the U.S, you get a free 6 month warranty wear you can get your screen replaced if it gets cracked

That all sounds pretty tempting. Not a fan of the HTC three button thing, but maybe this'll be different. How expensive is it?
$199 new here >.> Just released like a few months ago
