You pretty much told my story brother. I agree that I won't be doing custom roms or themes but I probably will unlock and possibly root just because I can.I just don't see any reason for root. I mean, sure, I could root it just to root it, but idk why I'd need to. Back in the day, I overclocked the cpu, had a screenshot app (before that became a standard feature) and stuff like that, but none of those things are really necessary imo these days.
I can't say that I'll never root it, but I'll only do so if there's some amazing thing that I just have to have that requires it. I'm in the same boat I was with the OG Droid before I got into rooting, rom'ing, and theming. I've come full circle. Haha!
If I'm not gonna run any custom rom, I REALLY don't see a point in rooting it. I like knowing it's all possible though, especially coming from the Note 4.
There's a toolbox available for the 5X and the 6p already that does just about anything you can imagine. I saw it yesterday droid forum news page.I may do so as well. Especially if the Nexus toolbox supports it. Think I've still got that installed on my PC from back in the day. I won't do it out of the box though. That much I'm sure of.
I agree... Pretty much what I was sayingI just feel like why not root it and unlock wipes data anyway.. Do it before set up and you can leave it stock rest of the way.. That's just me.. Lol

Both are solid options and as close to stock android as you're gonna get. Coming from the gnex, there will be less shock than if you got him a Samsung phone with TouchWiz or something.Still pondering ordering this or Moto X Pure for the brother in law, I'd do 128 GB for sure. Which one to pick? Upgrade from GNexus for him.
