My point exactly! And those new stock JB firmware's gonna help our devs in getting us to CM10 faster (I hope).
Let's just continue supporting our devs guys. As far as Samsung is concerned, we're on our own

don't think like that.. for what if we have phone that has many bugs.. and then we get stress to our phone because of ROMs with bugs..
-you were on a party, but your camera doesn't work..
-emergency situation, but you can't call..
if like this? what will we do? blame our phone? ridiculus right?
so better the original Samsung team make it..
BUT THEY WON'T MAKE JB TO OUR PHONE!!! -_-

Well you do have a point there Ivan,
but still, if i see how they made ICS possible for our phone,
i'm quite sure, after a while, JB will also come, and bugs wil possibly be solved in the future.
atleast, that's what i hope
ow well, i'm already really really happy, i'm running on CM9 now
yes.. hope like that.. yeah I'm running on CM9 too.. maybe the reason why SGW doesn't updated:
-SGW has only one version
others are the second with a little upgraded hardware..
-SGW: 1.4 GHz - Single Core
SGAce 2: 1.6 GHz - Dual Core - 800MHz each..
SGW and SGAce 2 has only 200MHz difference.. for what they upgrade ours? people will think to just buy the Ace 2 (for now)
-or this is an experimental mid range device.. SGW is the first SAMSUNG Galaxy mid range device that has a good graphics and quite good processor.. *THEY WANT TO SEE HOW'S THE MARKET AFFECT*
hope Samsung will release upgrade to our device..
I think the main problem in Samsung's point of view for SGW is neither our CPU nor GPU, but the amount of RAM, maybe you guys didn't notice that most of the devices(even with a worse CPU & GPU) which will receive the update are having more than 512MB RAM
all has their alternatives right.. like acro.. he can compress the system memory to smaller.. but yes like ypu said.. maybe our device will be more lags.. but apps will be better.. as long as they know how to manage their apps..
hell ! , someone open online petition to break that samsung neck please !! , i concerned not only SGW is being dissapointed
I asked to Samsung Portugal if Samsung Galaxy W will receive any more updates. The assistant told me that only after all the 2.3.6 firmware updates be released, Samsung will release updates to our (and other) phone.

But mini 2 has 512mb ram, 800mhz cpu, adreno 200, HVGA sceen, 176 ppi, 3mp camera with vga recording and no secondary camera also no flash.
Galaxy w- 1.4GHz -512mb ram, adreno 205, WVGA screen with sharp 254ppi, 5mp camera with hd 720p video recording and vga front camera and it also has flash.
This clearly tells that OUR SGW is hell better than Galaxy mini 2. But it seems most of the devices receiving jelly bean update has NFC even galaxy mini 2. But galaxy beam does not have NFC and it still does receive a jelly bean update. It would be very nice if SAMSUNG gives us a DAMN jelly bean update. If there is cm10. No problem.
what if we try to flash the stock rom of galaxy mini 2 jb to our galaxy w

Yeah i noticed that one 2. It can't be a hardware problem. It is most likly that the galaxy w didn't sell that well and the market is to small. The only thing we could do, would be to start a petition and send it to samsung OR start developing ^^, but since i'm pretty new to this level of programming, this option kinda falls through for me^^
Do any of you know if a petition like this ever worked? I know there was one for ICS and the galaxy S, but as probably most of you know samsung just released a statement saying that it wasn't fit for ICS.

This is not true for the mini ii. It will be interesting to see how jelly bean is running on this device.
I message samsung and this is their reply:
Thank you for contacting Samsung; we appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
We apologize if we still do not have an update for your Samsung Galaxy W. However, our Handheld Phone Development Team Experts are evaluating all the phones that are compatible with Jelly Bean and we will keep you posted once this Android operating system is now ready for your phone. You will be notified via Samsung Kies if there is an available firmware update for your unit and you may like our official Facebook page for news and product updates.
Hello there peeps, I'm an X Note I user, really enjoyed the experience until my phone got broke heh! And then I bought an S3, my current phone. Im currently running CM10 on my S3, runs good, but because of the close sourcing of the Exynos processor, its still not THAT smooth as it should be. But my taste always is a bigger screen, so I want to get back a Note II. I highly DOUBT that Im ever gonna use Touchwiz....
So the question is, will the Note II get a hands on from Teamhacksung? And we'll get an official support from CM10?
Besides, Samsung has finally decided to give devs some documentation of its Exynos4 source !
Replies would be appreciated as I'm considering to buy the Note in few days, still not so sure! Hope you can help
The current CM team isn't touching any future exynos devices besides the S3 and the Tab if im correct. But if someone new want to come in and start developing for the Note 2 than it would be possible, which we already have a few members here working on CM10 for the note 2 and made some progress. CM10 in the works
Don't expect any official support for CM tho on the Note2..
Running a AOSP build just goes against everything the Note 2 was meant for

Then why did we have a CM10 support for the Note 1 ? Same idea, the whole idea about the Note was with the pen. And yet, the Note I got an official CM10. I dont care about the pen features, Im after a gorgeous 5.5 inch screen actually...and run AOSP rom on it. I can't bare touchwiz.
Well who cares?

because it uses a older processor than the new Note 2 and GS3 (Exynos 4210) we use Exynos 4412, the GS2 even have problems with CM and other aosp roms. (Didn't some of your roms the menu button didnt work?)
Also the US version of the Note 1 came with a snapdragon processor..
Samsung just don't want to release the right docs for the Exynos line. you can build a AOSP rom for the note 2 it just would be a a$$ to get everything fully working with out the sources you need.
Reb0rn and simone are both working on an unofficial CM10 for the note 2, and I believe Entropy said if they get it working and all their gerrit **** is OK there's no reason for it not to be made official with them as the maintainers.
I may be wrong about that last bit though, it's best to just go read that thread.
I believe cm10 is a downgrade from the stock software. Multitasking for example separates this phone from the rest. Never thought that I'll say a phone out of the box better suits my needs than cm10, aokp, or paranoid. Sorry

hi everybody!
i am searching to buy a device around 300 euros and i dont know what to choose xperia s or galaxy nexus?
about xperia s,i am consider about buying the device cause i dont know if it will get updated/supported anymore after jelly bean.
also i would like to ask a few things from ppl who own the phone.
first of all,does it work well with ics?(i found a topic said that xperia s works better with gb)
then about games.Can i buy and play games out of the box without any problems,lags etc?
i would like games like gta,nova 3,nfs most wanted etc...
how is the performance generally? does it got too much bloatware?
when we get the jb update,the phone will have the xperia launcher or the jb launcher?
finally,today is it worth to buy the phone or it is too old?
what else can i buy? i consider most about the support of the phone vs the nexus which has a great support from google
Hi,
I have continuous issues with mobile data and WiFi drop out, the phone lags a lot, music shutters a lot. I would not recommend buying an XS, I'm disappointed with this phone. Though when it runs well, it really runs well and the sony features are quite nice, too, as their UI. Also they suck with the updates big time and I don't think we'll see any new Android versions after JB. The phone will be too old by then. Oh, and on GB I never had any issues besides a few random reboots that I have on ICS as well. And if u go for the XS, make sure your bootloader is unlockable, otherwise u won't be able to flash custom kernels. The screen is stunning though

Okay, than gives us the alternatives available at your budget. XS is a fine phone...I expected it to be amazing, but really it's not.
I bought mine for the screen and design. If you want better specs and updates, there are other phones out there. I have rooted mine and installed cyanogenmod, and expect this to support android 4.2 and maybe beyond.
That said, I've played quite a few games without any problems at all, and they really do look great on that beautiful screen!

hmm other alternatives are samsung galaxy nexus,samsung galaxy s2, htc one s and generally phones that cost about 300 euros.
my problem is that i wont buy other phone soon,so i need a device that can last 2-3 years without problems. that's why i am interested about the support of the device. i dont want to buy something and after 1,2 months will be unsupported by the manufacture.
also i want a phone where i can play games without lags etc.
Games runs well... No lags at all... But GTA VC dont work on ICS...
Performace is good ..
I love XS because i like NXT series design..

It is an awesome phone, better than all others you mentioned in my opinion, but you might just go for the galaxy nexus also but keep in mind that it will be only supported until the next nexus is released. Its really a matter if choice.
I also needed a phone for2-3 years and i bought the xperia s (though it was simpler for me as galaxy nexus is not available in India

what do u think about samsung galaxy s3 mini?
is it worth to buy?
unfortunately galaxy nexus isn't available at my country! it was sold out from all the shops and they told me they wont have any more.
also jelly bean will be the last update for the xperia s?
so is still xperia s my best choice?
So you want a phone that the manufacturer will support for atleast 2 years from now( 2013 onwards) .. Simple --Dn't buy XS ..
Sony might support it for 6 months max now coz XS was released in 2012..
I bought XS for its looks n decent performance... It wouldn't wow you on performance or updates but XS will surely attract a lot of attention for it looks ..
Its 2013 now, so check out some phones from 2013 ...

If you want a high resolution display and retina beating sharpness at a reasonable price, then buy the Xperia s, but it might not get updated beyond jelly bean, if you want updates, buy a 2013 model. S3 mini doesn't come close to xperia s in terms of hardware, although in terms off software it is ahead

Hello friends,
I am considering to buy a Note 2 to replace my main device as Sensation's touchscreen failed upon me.
I have few questions and I will appreciate your valuable replies.
1. Is Note 2 hardware good enough for next 2 years? I don't play much games and mostly Subway Surfer, Real Racing, MC4. Maybe half hour a month. But I want to be able to run all upcoming Android versions (atleast till developers support this device).
2. I read about SDS somewhere few months before. Is every Note 2 affected? I can't afford to have an expensive paper weight.
3. Does Note 2 have some dual-boot kernel?
4. Any ROM with Note 3 features esp that circle popup thing (or its my wishful thinking ) ?
5. Otherwise which would be recommended Custom Stock ROM, Recovery and kernel (dual-boot is definitely preferred)?
6. Any other major hardware bugs?
7. Btw, could someone guide me as how to check if I decide to buy my friend's old Note 2? How I check it for faults esp hardware? I am getting tempted as I could save some good money for other accessories
If there is something else which hasn't come to my mind but is important please feel free to add. I would be much obliged
Thank you so much !!!

1. Im fairly sure the phone will be extrwmwly adequate 2 years from now (obviously no one knows for sure) but the quad core processor is very capable of playimg the ges you mention. Although there are devices out that already have octo core processors, they all are only usong 4 at any one time and the differences are bare noticable at best.
2. As long as you are getting your phone from an authorized dealer then you shouldnt worry about SDS as that comes with older models and should come with a warrenty that would allow for replacement (one way or another)
3. The guy that built the (either S2 or S3) dual boot kernal was receiving donations to help him fund the tools to make it back in Jan-Mar of this year and I havent heard anything since... nor have I seen anything about it anywhere (atleast not on TMO LTE version. Youre more than welcome to search around a bit yourself)
4. Yes and No... there is but Team E (or whoever) has certain restrictions (really just permission only use) on alot of the Note 3 features that have been made for the Note 2... not really stone walling development, just protecting their hardwork and asking for proper credits, no alterations without reporting back to them, etc... it will be in every new rom eventually
5. Really a matter of who you ask and personal preference. I myself love Ptmr3s Jedi series (Master for TMO WiFi calling or X for other Note 2) but thats because 4.4 isnt out and I love the functionality that TW has for the particular device (samsung hasnt open sourced their SPen, MultiWindow, etc) so theyre not on non-TW BASED roms.. if you prefer AOSP, AOKP, or Paranoid Andriod, or PACMAN, etc than there are carious roms to pick and choose from. As for Kernal... each rom will provide (or users will post kernals that are compatible (I.e. dont use just any kernal on any rom... only what has been tested and proven).
6. Nothing major that isnt morw than an isolated incident at best... obviously of roms are newer or in nightly stages there will be bugs but nothing really hardware related... should mention sometimes on calls, the person your talking to will here themselves (echo) but that is sorta sparatic at best and most roms its not that bad and nothing major (again not really hardware related)
7. eMMC bug checker app. Download from play store, (look up the thread on here) and it will show you what to look for
Hope this helps...
Ultimately the Note should be continued to be developed for some time and able to withstand another 2 years of updates and new handsets. Already have 4.4 on TMO (omnirom - though not a daily driver) and carriers are pushing out stock 4.3 ASAP

Thank you for detailed reply.
So if I am buying new deice I wouldn't have that SDS bug. Right?
I am little surprised (and disappointed) that a powerful device like Note 2 doesn't have dual-boot functionality. That way I could run both Stock (I love various TW functionalities) and AOSP/AOKP/PA, etc
Could you plz provide link or name of the ROM with Note 3 features? Does it have that circle thing?
Thank you once again !!!

No idea whats it called. Yes using S-Pen.
In my country we don't have carrier thing. We have to buy devices at full price
Find out the model of the note 2 amd visit that particular xda thread for further info on uograded custom roms amd updates... also (in case you dont know better... dont flash a rom designed for a dofferwmt device (model number) unless you know what to do.. youll lose cell service and have a bunch of stuff to do just to fix it (some people have ecpensive paper weights)

Yes it's working verry good. I am using DN3 as we speak and it's a daily driver for me. The rom does not have yet note 3 camera and have a few minor bugs but nothing serious.
For me is as if a bot a note 3 and next update of the rom was anounced allready by the developers.
Edit:
Never felt the need of dual boot and didnt heard of it either for note II.

Considering we're still only on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 has been out for many months I'd feel there is little chance this year if ever. A custom ROM will be our best bet. Also be careful what you wish for as you still see many posts from people reverting to KitKat while Lollipop has been great for me.

Let first hope that we will get 5.1.1 first then think about android M
One day, when we've moved on to other devices, Samsung may release M for the Tab S
they might just be skipping 5.1.x and going directly to M...

no, pure speculation
but I just wonder the point of devoting energy into 5.1 when M is on the horizon.
who knows how it works though.
I dont think tab s can run android m properly
If we wont get the android M update from samsung maybe we will get a a port like cm13 who knows

M is supposed to be optimized and with several improvements in comparison to LP.
So if it can run LP than it will fly with M.
It's Samsung obligation to provide Android M, because of the 2 year firmware support. No excuses are accepted!
Being fed up with all my Samsung devices firmware sluggish and dated updates, I'm considering in the future moving to Nexus or Apple.
Samsung, please don't ask premium prices, and then provide the cheapest support.
I agree @pacc I think I will move on to one plus LG and nexus my next device wont be samsung
I read the other day that galaxy tab 4 is receiving android 5.1.1 around now , so I'm hoping the tab S will get it too...anything else doesn't make sense; both devices released around the same time, and tab S is the premium one...
As for M, that just wild speculation. My money is on "no, we won't get that"

IMHO, and I'm no expert just an end user, Android and Apple bite. Not ONE Android based device I have is capable of browsing the internet with the same functionality as Chrome, Firefox or IE. Facebook apps are lame at best and I prefer the interface we are given with a browser over any of the apps. I'm not going to buy any future Android based devices. I totally refuse to purchase anything from Apple after being stung buying an iPOD years ago.
So IF I ever buy another tablet, and that's pretty doubtful, it will be Windows based, cell phone too.
Samsung, Asus, Rockchip devices using Android....no more of my money....
Samsung suckered me in with a great price for awesome hardware but I am more educated now I would never buy a Samsung these days. I originally installed a custom ROM because I got tired of all the lag and bugs of Tab S stock kitkat. Expensive lesson as now my knox is tripped.. Samsung probably isn't excited to release software because everyone is wiping to get rid of lag then never reporting into their service. I lasted two months.. I would type a sentence then wait as it slowly came out, it was epic bad lag.
I lasted 2 days and tjen wiped and flashed a custom rom lol I guess thats the reason why they dont update

They may be using Tab 4 as a test before putting their eggs in the basket with the Tab S.
I must have lower expectations of my tab than you guy`s, I am still on kitkat and apart from rooting to get full microsd access i have had no problems at all, I don't care about updates they seem to cause more problems than they are worth.

Great devices totally ruined by that crappy samsung software
