ROM similar to Note 3?? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just wondering if any of the Devs are working on a ROM similar to the note 3 yet?

Not sure what you mean. The Note 3 just runs a TWiz ROM like any other TWiz ROM with a bunch of Sammy bloatware added.

I think the user might be asking if any ROMs have some of the note 3 features...I think I'll be going with a nexus this time...Samsung has great hardware but I run AOSP 90% of the time anyways...the features are cool to show off but I feel they lack practicality...plus Sammy bloat is so annoying lol

To be more specific, will it be possible to have the new Note3 like Air Command and S Finder on the Note2?

Anything is possible on xda! But for real we just need a system dump and the devs I'm sure will be able to figure some features out if not all of them.

I'd wager these features will get backported in an official release. Just like Note2's multiwindow got backported to the Note 1.
Who knows when Samsung will release said though

Depends entirely on how Samsung integrated these into the ROM.. Or if they're just apks that don't depend on that much. With how Samsung willingly chooses to completely rewrite TouchWiz for every minor update, I'll guess that these features deeply depend on ROM code... And as such we have to wait for an official update.
That is sheer supposition at this point.

Questions and Help issues go in Q&A and Help section

Thanks
FNM
And to answer your question, as there are no leaked ROMs yet...where would they get the files?

This is exactly what I was trying to ask. Yes I know most of touchwiz is pretty much just bloatware but some of the new feature looked like they would actually be useful.
Sorry for posting in the wrong place by the way.

I bet the note 2 and other samsung phones will get 4.3 so that it makes that silly gear watch available more than the note 3. They need to sell that crap.

Above is the link to the 7100 ROM it looks amazing.... What does it take to make this flash-able onto our T Mobile devices... If it doesn't include a radio couldn't we just flash it? I am too scared to flash and try...its less scary to post a new thread ask you to try...haha. If a devo could shed some light or a brave soul could "test" it that would be great.

You can flash it. If you want to lose your radio. Unfortunately even if the 7100 rom does not include radio we have significant differences in our hardware that causes the radio not to work. Most likely something in the ril or kernel I believe (I could be wrong about the reasons). We dont have an AOSP kernel for the 7105 or tmo version.
Thank you sir... man, I really want that ROM. Was using XquiziT's ROM but the was having a couple problems with it and now the future for it looks bleak. (What I liked so much was the AOSP parts added in) Going to give Saurom a go now I guess.

I am TRUSTING you!!! Don't let me down.... LOL (Ref: "..but we will catch up..")
we need some devs solely working on what needs to be done for porting from one device to another. the fact that the ROM even functions on our device without modification should be a decent indicator of how close we are.
look in the US SGS3 section, 4 variants all with small differences and porting roms between those 4 is a piece of cake.
if someone could make a stand alone CWM.zip that we flash after a N7100 ROM that gave us back the radio it would be perfect. then we could just run any N7100 rom we wanted, no porting needed.

well as much as i love the note 2 if we don't get any aosp love soon ill probably swap devices with my wife. at least her sg3 has cm10/aokp. again not complaining, i just hope development picks up. i was thinking about getting a nexus 4 to tide me over but i hate lg. if anything i still hope the note 2 see's android 4.2.
I am curious. I have had CM/AOKP for years with my other phones. With this one seems a lot of the features I really love are here. What do you feel is missing from TW that AOKP/CM gives you. I am not a fan of TW colors but overall it is good (and I xan theme colors away). Only thing I really miss from AOKP is the wigets popup from nav bar.
Aosp is lighter and for me runs better.

I would agree on most older phones....this one I have not had any slowdowns. ....that I did not cause (changing files in system causes FCs sometimes lol)

Personally I really look forward to having a ROM with mass storage support. Since Google removed it from Android, I am no longer able to connect my phone to Linux for easy transfer of files and have to use all kinds of alternatives.
Not sure it can't be done on a TW based ROM, but CM/AOKP ROMs seem to more commonly introduce it like the one mentioned in this thread.

I second the motion for USB mass storage functions. Maybe wi-fi direct or other technology will supersede it, but it would be nice to have the capabilities meantime.

This I can understand I really wish google made ums/mass storage an option. I understand why they went with ums but options are always nice.
Reasons why I think they went UMS
1) ability to keep sdcard mounted while connected to computer
2) ability to mount /sdcard on /data/media making the internal sdcard the same as the internal data memory
3) most people people use windows
4) the option to turn it on/off may confise some people.
The only one I disagree with is number 4. Stupidd people will find a way to be stupid no matter how much you coddle them.

The Galaxy S7 will be out by the time 4.2.1 gets to us.
The problem with the 4.1.2 update has multiwindow. We have a different processor in US phones which is making it difficult to get multiwindow to work properly. Im not saying its impossible but I feel like that is the hold up with US carriers. And it may even be they end up releasing 4.1.2 without multiwindow because of it.....

Im speaking from what ive learned from trying to port over the note 2 rom. It has a exynos processor and our US version does not. Im not sure what the note 1 has as far as it having the same processor as our s3. But I would love to try and port it once released and see if it would work.

ps I'm running galaxymod 14.1 without issue so just because you haven't been able to get multiwindow working in no way means it is not possible.

Synergy ROM in the development section has Multiwindow. I tried it yesterday and it worked great...although a few other issues made me switch back. I don't think the processor is the issue.
Definitely not the power of our phones the grand had all around less specs and it's coming with multi window.

Synergy is a Verizon or Sprint base one I cant remember which. And im not saying its impossible for us to have multiwindow what im saying is it will need to be totally reworked to run on our phone as we have a dual core processor and the note 2 has quad core.
And I believe the different processor or maybe the kernel has a lot to do with why you haven't seen a ATT based note 2 port. Ive been working on one for quite sometime now and can only get it to partially work. So its not impossible but its not as easy as you may think and thats why I think its taking US carriers longer....

The update will bring with it some new features along with fixing bugs. Owners will be able to resize apps, change their colour and their layout.
Welp, I can do that already with Roms that are built they way they should be out of the box.
CarbonRom with Crossbreeder and Xposed installed is insane.
I may flash back to be able to receive the update.
But it'll probably make me want to kick my own ass, and I'll restore back to heaven.

And after all that all I have to say is one simple thing Spen.
I am running AOSP right now the alternatives for the Spen are still nowhere near the seamless integration on a TW Rom, no discussion there.
If you dont care aobut the Spen then sure, who cares about TW Roms.
I get improves fps on games and benchmarks with the current ROM at the cost of some spen functionality...I wish i didnt have to choose.
Err..... did you even read what I wrote?
I got a note because of it size and spen. I still can use it just not everything is as seamless as with tw ROMs. In fact I may just go back to one so no idea how you interpreted what i wrote that way seriously....

Installing stock Android on a Galaxy Note 8.0

Hi, I've never done anything with Android. I recently received a Galaxy Note 8.0 as a gift and I want to install stock android (i.e. Nexus 7). Can anyone here either explain the steps I will need to go through or point me in the right direction? Is this even possible?
Since I've never done any Android rooting, I don't exactly understand much of the lingo used here. If someone could say "to put stock Android on a Galaxy Note 8.0, you need to use X and X" that would be great. I can probably figure it out from there.
Thanks!
Do you realise that if you did this, then the pen would no longer function? And this is the feature that you have paid the premium price for.

It's possible but are you sure you are really wanting to do this? It will remove all the pen functionality from the device which is what the device is most noted for. Just out of curiosity, what are you wanting to achieve? A cleaner or leaner ROM?

I hadn't thought of that. I don't really need the pen anyway. But how could I get a leaner ROM (get rid of TouchWiz) and still use the pen?
What are you expecting to get out of rooting?

You might want to just use a different launcher if you hate touchwiz so much... if you are this new to Android, I would strongly suggest you don't try any ROM fiddling.

But there is S-Pen Add On available for CM/AOKP/AOSP.

So, why not?

If there was CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM for Note 8, the pen would probably work - it does on those ROMs for e.g. Note 1.
But all the stock apps don't work there - no S-Notes, S-Calendar etc.
Anyway, if I'm not wrong, no such ROM yet - so far development forum contains two modifications of stock ROM.
There are other options for those apps in the play store, they are fairly good options too. That being said, I'm sure it is quite a task to bring AOSP to this device as we barely have working recoveries at this point.

Absolutely yes (e.g. Papyrus), but each thread of non-stock ROMs is filled with questions on "how to have TW apps working here", and the answer is always "can't be done".

This here is your best bet if you want any solid pen functionality. The reason the apps wont work with aosp is because the s pen relies heavily on tw framework. Its difficult and fairly redundant to port if over to a aosp rom. Im working on an up to date version of the rom i used to maintain on the att gn2 but havent had much time do much but itll bring.a.fair.amount of aosp apps when its complete.

Note II - the 4.4.2 update - discussion thread

http://www.intomobile.com/2014/02/18/samsung-begins-rollout-android-44-kitkat-14-devices/
Aww man I cant wait im not sure if this thread has already been made but thank god they have not forgot about us. :victory:
Woohoo...Samsung finally gets around to publishing their own bloated take on something we've had for months.
If tw still look the same with nothing extra that's useful I won't Bother. I use to like Samsung but once you get to the top there's only one way to go. Hope I'm wrong and they give us something nice, if not I'll stay on stock Android.

SPRINT GALAXY NOTE II ONLY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524130
The good thing about this will be the new customization with all the KK ROM's we do have available once the developers get the KK source from the official release right?, most of them are pretty stock without as many options as my PACman 4.3.1 JB ROM has right now.
Wonder if I'll still get the ota if Knox is removed from otherwise stock 4.3 setup.

The official kit kat tw Rom actually isn't coming with much bloat at all.. and Samsung has revamped tw to be more streamlined. I'm actually looking forward to it since I use the spen alot and upgrading to a Note 3 is really a waste of money.. I can wait for the Note 4

Can you uninstall all the utterly useless Samsung apps? Does the OS image weigh any less than 1GB? If not they may have made it run better, but they didn't debloat it.
And I *highly* doubt that Samsung got rid of their own useless apps they spent money developing.
Hopefully Google comes out with a phablet form device. Then I'm done with Samsung. Might go to an LG next. Screw Knox and Samsung.

I have had only a few android devices (kyocera zio, og evo, evo 3d, note 2, and kyocera torque) and samsung has been the easiest to work with. As far as knox is concerned (on note 2) it is nothing to worry about. The first day 4.3 was out we (me and lorjay) already had knox nullified and on day 2 root was working. While the same may not be true with new samsung devices. Point is knox means nothing to xda users/devs since there will always be a way around it.
4.4 on the note 3 looks okay and should be a better upgrade than 4.3 although we will have to wait and see. For myself i like aosp better since i found most of the things i like from samsung in 3rd party apps. Only thing I miss and can't get is a feature from note 3 mods (air command).

You've always been able to uninstall bloat.. it's one of the main reasons for having Titanium Backup. And a simple Google search will confirm my above statement. It's still gonna have bloat, just not nearly as much.

Sure, but who would even be on XDA if they weren't rooting...

Anyone heard any updates about our release yet? I keep seeing it for so many other phones.

By then i'm pretty sure most of us will have upgraded to a new phone but for those who keep their phones for 2+ years it will be nice to not be left out of KK update. Who knows I might keep my Note 2 for a while longer... I have no problems with it and it works just fine and does everything I need and then some.
I guess we either going to get 4.4 in April or May

Probably on the later side. US carriers never update to the "latest" version of Android...Google always gets another release out before carriers choose to finally re-write their ROMs to get up-to-date.
