Custom ROM's, how long will they be MIA? - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Is there any development at all going on for this device?

Yes. I know 3 people including me who have made or are making roms but arent releasing yet for various reasons. Just be patiant. Im personally waiting until official OTA MK1 for UK before making any roms public. Some people mignt be waiting for other things or want to add a lot of polish. Just be patiant.

No worries, I was just curious.

Hackability?

It's great you're working on this tablet. I had a Tab 7 Plus with Exynos processor and there was no development on it whatsoever due to the processor. I am hesitant to get this Note 10.1 with Exynos processor but my question is are they still locked down? Has Samsung given developers what they need to fully unlock this device and mod it? If this tablet is locked down (besides the Knox tripping), then I will wait for the Snapdragon 800 version. Any insight to hackabilty would be appreciated.

It will trip Knox but you can root and we have TWRP recovery on the Exynos version.

Awesome! Is there anything the Snapdragon version will be able to do that the Exynos version can't? Full ROMs possible with this Exynos versus previous Exynos tablets? Are all kernels and all other source codes needed for modding made available now by Samsung? No encrypted unlockable bootloader?

Snapdragon a bit faster GPU and Exynos a bit faster CPU. The kernel source is posted:

The bootloader is unlocked.

[Q] CM Support for Note 3,will it help us?

www.muktware.com/2013/12/cyanogenmod-source-code-samsung-galaxy-note-3-now-available/18304
The sources are also available for various versions of Note 3. With similar hardware, would this make porting CM for our tablet any easier?

I would imagine so, but isn't the note a snapdragon device? I know ours uses both depending on the model, but a lot of the devs hate exynos.

Note 3 international version uses Exynos 5420, the same as P600 and 601.

And from the Muktware article, CM supports Note 3 International version

SM-N7502 Not even getting KITKAT, How can I get it myself?

Hello,
My friend owns a Samsung Note 3 Neo (N-7502) and he wants to update it because it never got any updates from Samsung from the day he got it (Still running 4.3 and other versions at 5.1.1 already....)
I know there's more than a topic of discussions about this, but there's no answers so I thought the people who could help didn't notice this...
It could be CyanogenMod or anything else, just something newer, better.
He could sacrifice the usage of the 2nd sim card for now if that's the only way.
Please if you know a way, help.
Thanks
My girlfriend owns one too. I've searched in a lot of places, but people said that installing something of the single SIM variants on a dual SIM one won't work. If someone knows how to make it work, please tell us.
*Bump*
I've searched a lot for a solution but I couldn't find any.
Would installing a different model's (N7505) rom work?
Would it even boot up?
It is a totally different phone
Duos variant is qualcomm based while other variants are exynos so no ROM other than stock will work for it for now
There is some hopeful trials to build cm12.1 ROM by Firelord but till the moment we are speaking there is nothing
Hope for the best
Best Regards

I had higher hopes.. According to PhoneArena the 750 variant is the one with Qualcomm and the duos (7502) is similar to 7505 processor wise.
Is that wrong?

See that page :
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_3_neo_duos-6015.php
Also i got build.prop which confirms this
Also all kernel sources from Samsung
Knowing that the device is qualcomm based gives me hope that it may get CM ROM
Anyway, We need some attention from more developers

I'm not sure developers will bother.. But I hope they will.
I don't understand the reason for this... Qualcomm is the most popular processor manufacturer of CPUs so it'd be easier to create a ROM or edit an existing one to work on this phone... I don't understand why the exynos ones are getting more attention.

According to https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ MSM8228 board is used by Samsung G800H (Galaxy S5 mini) and N7502. Also google shows HTC Desire 816 Dual Sim based on the same board and looks like that's all. But these other devices already have custom roms.
Please build a ROM for sm n7502 dual sim variant

Note 7 advice

Hello all,
I am quite interested in this phone cause I am searching for a Nexus 6 successor and I depend on wireless charging. Sadly there are no high end smartphones which will deliver this feature anymore.
Therefore I have two questions:
1. At this time there are two threee custom ROMs for the exynos variant and no for the snapdragon. Will that change?
2. How likely there will be an AOSP ROM and what version (snapdragon or exynos) will suffer most from bugs then?

I know, that is the reason I am asking two questions about ROM development and advice about choosing snapdragon or exynos
Ah I'm sorry I misunderstood. I can't speak for the snapdragon but I have the exynos and it's awesome. Excellent battery life and no heat issues. Sure I have read that the exynos is better for rooting but haven't looked into it in depth as I'm happy on stock for a while. I'm sure someone will be able to help soon.
get an exynos, more development

Development for the s9/s9+

Hi,
I was thinking about getting the s9+ but I noticed that there are not many roms for the phone, is there any reason for that?

So the exynos model is not locked?
I was thinking about getting the sd845 model because the performance appeared better, but if it's a cumbersome model to work with and the exynos is better for development. Then maybe one should aim for that model instead.
Wouldnt go for a Samsung phone if you want great custom rom support. Its split between exynos and snapdragon AND you will have to stay with samsung experience roms if you want to have a camera that is not garbage.
Exynos battery isn't as good as snapdragon

Custom ROM chances?

Hi dev,
Why aren't there many custom ROMs for samsung s20+ Exynos or s20 series devices?
I feel oxygen os 11 would look great on s20 series devices.
Is there any component of device causing no custom ROM development?
Well... I had an exynos Note 10+ and the development for that phone was pitiful and was why I sold the phone. Thinking of buying an S20+ but only if I see some active development or at least plans
Well as phones ar getting more expensive and rooting less viable, I really don't see a bright future for custom rom development on future samsung phones.

Agree, valid reasons for rooting are evaporating. With app based options offering solutions and Samsung making it more and more challenging it's hard to justify. Especially when one considers the prices for a top shelf device and a very real possibility you'll brick your smartphone. Firmware and CSC's are much more complex than 5 or 10 years back, it's not like the good old days when rooting was more straight forward. With that being stated much of the push for rooting comes from users who fail to investigate which device is best suited for their needs, even within the same model line.

Buy an OP phone if you like that, the S20`s have different hardware so most likely not possible.
