Hey guys, should be picking up a note 2 in the next few days.
But it would be great to get some opinions regarding the N7100 or the N7105.
Will ROMS for the N7105 ever be as widely available as for the N7100, I was going to get the N7105 but noticed literally no roms like Paranoid Android or others on it. Will these come or will they mainly be N7100 based?
Also living in the UK we don't have wide LTE support and the network I am on will be 3. Will the DC-HSPA make much if any difference to the speeds I will get on that network?
Any opinions or answers are much appreciated

Hi, if you don't have much support for LTE, them more reasons to go for the N7100.
That version would have better support and more developers. Some do refuse to make for the N7105 model.

Will the 3G on the N7105 be much faster?
Also I heard the stock rom is better battery life than custom roms, is this true?

I currently have my Note 2 on its way from my carrier, Telecom NZ. But its a slight variant from the standard N7100. It'a a "N7100T" the difference being it has the 850MHz 3G band. I believe Telstra AUS has the same one.
I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing custom roms, but I'm a little confused as to whether I will have to use roms specific to my variant of the phone? Anyone else have this same Note 2?
Historically, the T variant just indicates optimised support for the 850mhz 3G band, and software for the non-T variant works fine. Given this is the first T variant to launch, it may require a little caution - but it's unlikely be a variant of the N7105 or anything. Best practice to wait until a download of a stock build is available before tinkering too much. Watch out for fast dormancy settings on N7100 ROMs if you value battery life!

Thanks for the reply.
I was browsing through SamFirmware and noticed the Vodafone note 2 is showing as the N7105. I'm curious, what carrier are you on and what model do you have exactly.
There one other ROM available for NZ and its just listed as "New Zealand" but is for a N7100. So I'm assuming this one to either be for 2degrees or Telecom. Kind of confusing myself haha
UPDATE
Okay so I got the phone. LOVE IT. Just came from an iphone5 so quite a difference but I was on an S3 before that.
Anyway, I found the stock rom on Samsung-Updates.com so after a bit of browsing the dev forums I'll start to tinker.
Any update on this post? I too have the N7100t and was looking to upgrade to 4.1.2 but can only find it for the N7100.
I am with AT&T, does anyone know whats the different between the AT&T unlocked version compare to the international N7100 version?
Do we get LTE for this phone cause N7100 I think we only get 4g?
Any different in rooting or using any custom roms? I have seen from other phones, some roms will only work with international version but not with AT&T.
Can someone give me some feedback what I should get?

The N7100 is not LTE, the N7105 is (And 4G=LTE, don't pay attention to the AT&T lie). N7100 roms cannot be used with N7105 or AT&T phones, unless you want an expensive paperweight.
Hi all. I was hoping someone could explain why there is so little development on the N7105. Is there something about LTE that makes it harder to develop for?

I would rather say that the problem is that it is a "special model". The N7100 is the "standard model" that has broad availability and can be considered as the main product (compare with i9100, i9300, N7000 etc). Most users and developers buy the N7100 rather than the more restricted N7105 (that is a bit more of a carrier model, carriers without LTE etc offers the N7100).
I hope that it will change with the Note III but that means that the "N7200" (probable name) should have LTE - i.e. no more special editions - just ONE version for all. As long as LTE products are more of special versions with a heavy reliance on carriers, they will have less adaption than the more common HSPA model.

Sum up about it! And since N7100 was out before the 4G, people got it before N7105 thus the lack of support, I was considering changing to N7105 of it ever released with bigger storage, but seeing the support is serious lacking, I've decided not to do it.
You could customise N7100 custom roms to flash for N7105, there's a thread for that and people reported got it working and everything.
You can also check the ATT Note 2 thread as there are several roms based on N7105 (with no modem).

I wouldn't lose faith yet nattychris,
Those of us in Japan have only this week had our SC-02E version of the Galaxy Note 2 rooted.
I noticed that at least a couple of roms have been added or updated within the last 7 days for the N7105.
List (including N7105)
Hey guys.
I have had some issues with my note 2.
I had an open Samsung model GTN7105T and I swapped it with the N7105 as it's the "international" version as I thought I may have dramas rooting and installing custom roms etc.
Now, it could just be me or I didn't notice properly when I had the the T variant but it seems I'm getting less signal with the non T variant. Could this even be possible? I'm under the impression no, as it's basically the same handset in every way.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.

as far as I can tell from looking around, it has different radio configuration tailored for Australian telecommunications networks, this would account for the worse signal.
