Hello all,
I just bought a Galaxy Note II N7105, and i need to ask the xda communiti one very important for me question:
I love flashing ROMs and experimenting with my device, but sadly when i came back home with my new toy, i realised that the 4G version of the device has A LOT less support from the xda developers, meaning ALOT less ROMs, MODs and so on.
I have the option to change my device for an N7100 one, so should I change it? Is really the support that much less ?

I recently upgraded from the Note 1 and was just as disappointed when I got to the forums especially as I was looking forward to using Indie's Omega Rom again since my GSG2 days. The 4G version definitely has a lot less support, but the silver lining is that a lot of the T-Mobile and AT&T roms are compatible with the N7105, you just have to make sure you keep you have the right modem for your carrier.
I think there's a thread on here somewhere that lists some of the compatible roms that others have tested, you might have to google it.

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?

Those who have tried AOSP roms and figured out that it beats Samsung's Touchwiz ROMS ? Easily and clearly. Forget about the feature Sammy plug in which are awesome for intance. But when it comes to performance and UI ? The Vanilla pure Android experience is the best one out there....

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

I had the Note 10.1 Tablet for a couple of months and it was a really great device. It had a lot of great features? I'm just wondering if anyone is working on a port for the 10.1 tablet Rom to the Note 2 I feel like it should work great, considering the Note 2 is quadcore and all. I loved the quick menu with the mini apps too. I've searched google a lot for an answer to this but haven't found anything so I thought I'd post a new topic. If it's been posted already Mod please move or delete. Thanks
I don't intend to be rude do you understand anything about Android? My computer is quad core can I port the rom there to? It is impossible to do what your asking, it would be easier to write it from scratch.

Actually in this case it is theoretically possible as they do share a lot of architecture, both are Exynos 44xx series SoC's with a lot more hardware similarities. Now whether it is worth the time and effort, that is a different story.

Assuming you want tablet touchwiz ui. Someone on another forum/site was working on it with original note.
But this is not an easy task.
What exactly you want from the galaxy note 10.1? Is it tablet mode? If so thats easily available for us.
This is xda. You could start the development.

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

@PhxDroid86
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 !!!

Air command? (Using the SPen?) ... what carrier are you on?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
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)
Good luck, I think the note 2 is a good decision on your part

And, I am glad to have given you yours first Thanks here
Thank you mate
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.
Please excuse my english...not my native language

hi. im a hardcore samsung fan but now im kinda bored of it. just sold my galaxy S4 yesterday. now i wanted to jump to LG and see if its good or not.
i have heard a lot good about this phone. im kinda power user (if thats a thing ) cause i like to try new roms and tweak a lot with my phone. every body knows samsung gets the most love from developers because of so many users and there are tens of roms to choose from for sammy phones.
its my first time with LG phone so, im confused like HELL! cause i see there are like 5 versions of Optimus G pro.
my question here is which version should i buy which has easy Rooting and the most number of roms?
as i have already said i dont use the phone much for other things like TV (i guess there is TV antenna in the korean model) i just keep changing and trying out new roms. so which version should i get which had the most love of devs here? should i get the E980, E986 or E988
and how to check the EXACT MODEL NO while buying?
thanks

I think it depend on where you live. Which version is available in your country. Here in Indonesia, only the E988 version is available. Since myself is a new LG OGP user, i don't know much about custom ROM yet.

Man if I were in your place I wouldn't have sold the s4 ull be underwhelmed by the contrast of this screen like I was when I switched to this phone and also the contrast of the camera but it has much better build quality than s4
Its a really good phone no doubt but the s4 is just better including the developer support if I were you I would get the new HTC one or wait until the s5 comes out but if that's not in your budget. The g2 is a lot better than this and not much more expensive either I would recommend that it also has a much better camera another option is the note 3 but that is also quite expensive
But if your set on getting this phone I won't stop you cause I literally can't
You can confirm the version by going to the settings > about phone> phone identity
You can also confirm it by taking off the back cover and battery u will find the imei number and version of this phone

Hello,
I've been thinking about getting myself a Note 10.1, mostly because of the S-Pen.
Since I don't like TW at all, I visited the Android development subforum and got confused about the different versions.
So I've seen ROMs for the P600/601/605. As far as I know, the white lte version is the P605 and both white wifi versions (16 or 32GB) are the P600. The black versions have another zero added (P6000 and P6050), but I guess they can still use the roms designed for the P600 and P605 respectively, right? And which one is the P601?
Also the S-Pen seems to be fully functional under some of the custom-roms, with palm rejection working, or am I wrong?
Thanks for taking your time to answer my questions!

OK. All WiFi/g3 only Note is the p600. All the ones the carriers carry are the p605-7 which use snapdragon CPUs. I am currently rooted and running a custom ROM called LiquidSmooth, this is a Lollipop ROM. I am about to release it, just got the last go a head last night. It has S-Pen support. It doesn't have some of the features that tw has, but these are easy to replace, with an app, if you want them. Palm rejection work fine. Buy the Note root it then install a custom ROM like Liquid, CM 12 which is extremely bare bone and doesn't have the S-Pen customization, or temasek which is based off CM 12 but with a heck of a lot more customization.
