Will there be a decent amount of community support? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Lately I've been noticing a lot of developers saying that they are going to quit developing for samsung due to the lack of support they are are offering to the community. Do you think this will affect the releases of ROMs or user fixes to the point of not being worth it to buy this device? Thanks.

The community will try to cook rom for all samsung devices, but when these are not very popular or will become old will be abandoned

Yes, i`am convinced it will be supported well. The GN2 will be even a bigger success as the GN1 i believe. Getting mine in 5 days

I think there will be some type of good support.. I mean it's still pretty early in the release... And I'd still buy it if it's not supported by a lot of roms.. Doesn't take away of how much of a beast the phone is

Exactly. Right now I don't even feel the need to root this thing, it honestly is already perfect to me.
Op where did you hear that more devs are gonna stop developing for Samsung?

He is talking about Codeworkx and the CyanagenMod team, they`re mad that Samsung isn`t helpfull towards dev`s regarding the scources wich come late or not at all.

But what about adblocking, making titanium backups, uninstalling bloatware, installing custom kernel`s and many other perks. I would miss those things to be honest

how does THIS make you feel?

If anyone has the OG Note, even that device doesn't have amazing support. At least we have CM tho...of which I'm running PA 2.17 CM10. However, as long as the GN2 receives CM10, all will be fine. I'm torn with how I feel about CM possibly abandoning Sammy...the GN2 is really all about features, that's what makes it better. CM just neuters spen features anyways.
I personally am excited for just having the GN2

+1 And there is a big chance Mike1986 is going to develop Android Revolution HD roms`s for the GN2. He allready supports the S3 now.

I have played with the idea of getting the Sprint version when it comes out. But, I would still work on my HTC stuff too. Only problem is that I'm not up for an upgrade and I am not buying this thing right out lol so we will see how it goes.

I think you should do it man. I went out of pocket for my s2, but the timing was perfect so now I'm eligible for an upgrade. Plus, I love your work when I had my evo :thumbup:. The Note community could definitely use your mods/roms.

Well, devs are staying behind because we are all starting to see how the game is going. Too many Android phones are coming out at once and money ain't coming any faster. I'm sure if people paid devs to come dev for the device, we'd have more devs...so if you want to pay for someone's E4GT, go right on ahead. If you don't want to, just wait it out. This phone is already pretty sweet and the problems we do have, a dev probably won't be able to fix those..so..yeah.
This phone is sick dude, just enjoy it and be happy that you don't own a device where you have to depend on the devs just to be able to get through the day.
Having it from release date, the OG Epic did NOT have terrible development. Just not the development some people wanted. And there were "some" people who were ungrateful and rude, like with any device. This one already has great developers, and we are slowly getting more. Be patient.

The Epic scene was pretty good. A lot of people came from that Evo...smh, the Evo messed the whole game up if ya ask me. Now people willl sit around and say their phone is garbage if it doesn't have the same dev scene that the Evo had.
Little do most people know that the Evo was damn near the same device as the Desire, N1 and Dinc. So most of the reason why its scene was so great was because a dev from any one of those phones could just port their roms over and all they had to do was swap out the hardware files and the kernel. Other than those 2 things, everything was damn near exactly the same.
Yeah I think we just have to be patience

I've seen a few well known devs from the HTC Evo post here, so I'm pretty optimistic.
Viperboy is coming. That's another developer for you!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
what do we really need here? cyanogen and miui and stock roms. that is asking alot but that would be epic. for now i am loving starburst. love asop but don't remove touchwiz launcher and widgets. just my opinion.
I had the First Epic and the Dev's there were GREAT. We may not have had as many as some phones like the Evo but the ones we had did great work and who needs 100 roms to choose from when the ones we had did the trick. We had some great Roms and Themes and the fixes came pretty fast.
I have not rooted this phone yet mainly because I have not felt the need. The only thing I am missing is WiFi Tether. I am sure when this LOS gets worked out and the devs get their hands on the original source we will see much more. I am grateful for anyone that helps make this phone better, but it is pretty dang good out of the box. The best I have ever had.

Now?? pffft what are you talking about? They want that **** out on launch day! wtf you slacking devs that dont get paid and do this all for free?? Get back in the sweatshop and do work that requires more thinking than a sweatshop worker in china but gets "paid"(donations) less! These devs should worship us and do what we tell them when we tell them! When a phone is released that very day we expect EVERY MOD imaginable, every "bell and whistle" and a choice of at least 10 roms and 10 kernels..

sense is pretty hard to get working on a non HTC phone. I dont think I've ever heard of a sense rom (that fully worked right) ported over to a non htc phone(at least that I know of). It's not impossible(from what I hear) but it is very very very difficult(so I hear)

Im in your boat, but i thought about it and its like, what would you go to? Downgrade to a GN with no SDcard slot and crappier camera?
Well eventually get ICS, MAYBE CM9, and when ICS is out some roms based on it. I wont spend hundreds just to get ICS a couple months early on crappier hardware.
I may sell it in the summer for a GSIII depending how that looks, but i wont side/downgrade.
Any reason why you guys didn't post this in his screen fix thread directly? He's still responding to questions over there
I really don't get the whole ICS gig! People act like it's the second coming of christ! I mean WTF! Lol this device is already awesome with outout christ or ICS!

Going from ICS to touchwiz GB has been, less than exciting. Luckily the hardware is so awesome.

I just can't believe people forked out 500+ dollars for this phone only to ubderplay it because of another phone. If you knew that the nexus was coming out why weren't you patient enough to just put your money on that. I love my gs2. Its getting o
Ics one way or another but for the meantime I am perfectly happy with my purchase for what my phone is now.

Understandable, (un)fortunately there really isn't a better option unless its the Exynos version or the GNex, and i like the term "side"-grading because that's really all it is. What's bugging you about it? I think I'm GLAD that I can take a rest from all the flashing and sleepless nights battery calibrating finding the best combinations of roms and kernels (this is my first android, coming off 4 years of Bberry). How will a new device change your user experience/expectations?

Can I have my jellybeans and eat them too?!

First off, I would just like to thank all the devs who have worked like mad men on giving all us dinc users some delicious Ice Cream Sandwich, for without your amazing work I surely would have thrown my phone in a fit of rage into a wall a loooong time ago. Now, even though there's no official word yet, until later this morning , I think it's safe to assume that Jellybean will end up being named Android OS 4.1 instead of 5.0 (ICS, but with improvements). With all of this in mind, is it possible that we could actually get some JB love? I understand that we'll have to wait until they release the source code to know for sure, but with what we've heard so far it sounds like it actually could be possible. Idk, am I just missing something obvious here?
P.S. I'm asking this mostly because I'm trying to get my posts # up (I'm new here, be nice), although I'd love if we could entertain this thought for a moment. I think I only have like 2 posts so far (cuz I ACTUALLY search for stuff, WOW!!!!) so bear with me, please and thank you!

From what ive seen ics doesn't really push our GPU or CPU that hard. I think our phones should run it great.

Nexus 4 welcoming commitee, goodbye s3

I recently bought a nexus 7 for school, and i'm an avid follower of my devices developement since i had my galaxy s vibrant. It is SOOO nice getting the update withing a week of google releasing it, i have 4.2 and it is PHENOMINAL!!! We the s3 user base are what.. 4 months past 4.1.1 release, then there is 4.1.2, then 4.2... um two versions behind and no firm commitemnt of release. I used cm10 nightlies for months and the bugs were exausting, but i respect the work they do, excellent but there are nevertheless many bugs, hence the long nigtly list of changes. PURE up to DATE android is sublime.
And quad core w/ 2gb RAM... that was just a dream for s3 users.
I will be selling my s3... buying the 16 gb... forever more be up to date and loving the android expereince... and probably come out with a small profit
no haters please there are plenty of those threads, I would like this to be a support thread for those making the jump from s3 to nexus 4. welcome to the fold!
While I'm glad you are happy, I do have to question this kind of mentality.
I love having my S3, but I would of gotten any other new phone. The S3 just had a significant improvement over my Vibrant.
However, going from S3 to Nexus, while some perks.. I don't see the reason for all the hype. You're still talking about a phone just slightly above on par with the S3. All for what? You'll be getting the same updates, just one gets them faster. It runs about the same speed, or at least from what you can tell without an app.
So.. What's the necessity? What's the reason for such rampant rushing to the newest and best if it is just a slight increase?
Seems to be a mindset that should be avoided, not praised.

I'm sorry but its attitude like this that causes buyers remorse. You should spend a few days in the gnex forums before you quickly realize its no different. Once the gnex got jb people were itching for the next thing which was 4.1.2. Then when they got that they are irxhing again for 4.2. Catch my drift. I say get a device you are happy with and satisfied with the version of android. If you worry about updates you're always going to be worrying and not be satisfied. My 2 cents.

I agree with u.. He's just looking for attention and something to ***** about.. What nice about the s3 is their will always be many different options of ROMs.. Twiz ,Asop , pa, and just different options.. That's what's great about s3s..

You forgot to mention its made by lg which has a piss poor track record for quality, google is already including bumpers with the nexus because the glass back has been very easy to crack. I haven't read 1 review yet saying the n4 is much better than anything else. As for JB updates, between frosty, doc's Sprint port, and Xquzit there are plenty of great choices already.
For me personally JB doesn't have anything in it that I don't have with ics. Ok, I don't have the very latest version of google now but other than that what am I missing?
I hate pointless threads like this. Mod notified.

Low Development?

Is it me, or has android development been rather low lately?
With the HTC One and Galaxy S4 being the best phones on the market, I was expecting there to be loads of roms and lots of aosp roms.
Is it because the phones just came out?
well people are still receiving units and people are sitting tight for the 32 and 64 gig variants. just be patient and within a few months development will be in full swing.
plus its not like we dont have great roms now, so its not like we are missing anything (accept maybe halo from paranoid android, but thats it)
revolt is basically the P.A.C roms, and cyanogen mod already has nightlys for our phone
Could be. I'm no dev but I can imagine it being impossible to make an awesome, non crappy Rom so soon while having a personal life and a job to balance. Luckily this phone is cool enough stock, minus the bloatware of course

it is indeed time consuming when factoring in life away from a computer and i'm a guy that lives on a computer basically.
when speaking with the dev team i work with, most of them skipped the S4. they're either staying on S3/Note 2 or they went for the Oppo Find 5, Nexus 4 or are waiting on Nexus 5/Note 3. because Samsung is starting to stray away from being dev friendly with their locked bootloaders and not releasing source for Exynos variants, most of us are fed up. this will likely be my last Samsung device because of this.
also, this is the T-Mob section which is pretty much the smallest carrier of the big 4 here in the US. most of the team i'm a part of are on ATT like i once was...
i wouldn't be surprised if not much more comes down the pipeline for us. there will be more, just not a lot more.

This is very sad to hear darn Samsung and their crappy locked bootloaders. This lack of development will definitely turn me away from a future Samsung device.
Why would Samsung even do that when they know people like to develop ROMs for their phones?

ITs not just the locked bootloader but also making unrootable stock kernels, putting the imei info in a spot where it can be erased. You have to understand that we here are less then 1% of the users samsung targets.
Life is rough now a days, we have wife's, kids, and pets to feed and provide for. Deviant development is doing a great job with this device. Couldn't ask for more. I'm going to put out my first Rom on This device soon too Thanks to Deviant development.

Maybe it's all the *****ing, ungratefulness, and sense of entitlement floating about........
Just wait until the Google Edition GS4 drops, then we'll see some development, since it's an M919 as well

Killa has a point. although i haven't witnessed this in full force here in our sections yet, i have been witness to it many many times.
then there's also the fact that other devs seem to think that new devs are their "competition" and that it is a "popularity" contest. this almost caused me to throw in the towel. i am humble. i do what i do because i want to learn and run my own stuff. i then share my creations in case anyone else would like to run it as well. nothing more, nothing less.
the T-Mobile section has certainly left a bad taste in my mouth in comparison to the ATT section where everyone was extremely friendly.
What happened?
I put out a FULLY WORKING stock base to help move development along give it time
^^And thats one hell of a nice banner^^

Development will pick up once more people have the phone.
