I am new to Galaxy devices. I have switched from nexus 5 to the note 3 and I am curious if I could flash nexus 5 stock rom on my note 3. I have noticed that they both have Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. Will that brick my device or is it possible?

Please don't do this. It will be bad. This is definitely not possible, most likely at all ever but if nothing else at least in the straight-forward-just-flash-it sense that you are describing.
WOW....

Well, the thread title says all.
I'm not a developer and don't know if will be easy or not.
I ask for the experts, it will be easy for we get Note2 updates from the Note 3 or it is a different hardware and cannot be used the software from it?
Thanks
No, the update isn't from anther model, it's from Samsung,I mean, if Samsung want give it for us, it will be very very quickly, but Samsung do not want, because if note 2 get 4.3 too quickly, some people well not to but the new one. All about marketing.

The device it is the easiest to port from is the Note 8.0 I think. They are very similar. Almost identical.
Though its still hard..
why is mod locking up all Note 3 threads?
Because they don't have anything to do with the Note 2, what is also considered as "off-topic" in a section dedicated to the Note 2.
To OP. Why do you bother even think about this?! As soon as Note 3 comes out you'll get an update. These threads will get locked soon.

Note 3 have nothing to do with Note 2? What?
Note 2 has several variants but none of their roms can be ported/flashed to either device..so Note3 rom will no way be ported to Note2
Also Note2 will get update after months of launching note3(because of their marketing policy-no need to explain)

I think that my next phone will not be a Samsung. When i bought i choose it because Samsung said Note 2 was getting all the updates till Android 5.0, so i thought that they have good update policy (my previous phone was a motorola defy, and same thing there, no updates).
And about the "As soon as Note 3 comes out you'll get an update" citation, i think your wrong. Samsung is pushing everyone to buy a new device and not to make a good update policy for old devices

Oh, c'mon. Of course they wan't you to buy their newest device!! That's business 101!! What do you complain about? For companies doing marketing?! And we don't even need to discuss wether the Note 2 will get future updates or not. Given that even the S2 will get (or got?) 4.2.2 (delivered with 2.3 and got updated to 2.3.6>4.0>4.0.4>4.1.1>4.1.2) that's 6 updates including 4.2.2!!! Evene if it'll be late, im pretty sure it'll come.
what's wrong with buying new phone? You're getting both a hardware and software update.

When S4/S3/s2 ROM can be ported in galaxy s i9000 then why not note 3 ROM/features ported in note 2
ancient galaxy s i9000(s1) has more 4.3 custom ROMs than our note 2

Kind of stupid comparison isn't it?
would you rather use i9000 with 4.3 rom or Note 2 with 4.1.1 rom??

No, its not stupid comparison .
I am using boht of them
but you did not get the point. did you?
I was saying that when JB 4.3 can be ported in old galaxy s with limited hardware and RAM then we can expect 4.3 for our note 2
It's called software optimization. ..
Not easy. .
And the note 3 is getting new s pen features in 4.3. . So Samsung does not want to release those features to note 2 before note 3 is launched.. plain simple. .just got to wait .

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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos#List_of_Exynos_SoCs
And from the Muktware article, CM supports Note 3 International version
Do you guys think there is any chance that the Tab S gets Cyanogenmod?
I planning to buy 8.4 "but do not really like Touchwiz
Snapdragon cpu probably as the Tab Pro 8.4 has CM. The Exynos cpu don't hold your breath.

We will probably not see any AOSP ROM's liek CM11. The Exnos processor I don't believe makes its source cord public making it impossible or at least very difficult to develop for it. Honestly all I want is for a a rom like CleanROM that gets rid of all the junk and just leaves a clean experience. Maybe some themes.
Hey, I did a lot of searching but couldn't find anything about this (surprisingly) so..:
Is somebody already working on a Cyanogenmod version for the Tab S / will there ever be one?
Yes it's being worked on. If the Dev cracks it you'll see a thread in Development.

I would find it unlikely due to the fact that is hasn't happened on the Note 2014, Note Pro, or Galaxy Tab Pro, or the Tab S, which all feature the same Exynos 5 based SoC, and all have far more custom rom and development work.

The sheer awesomeness of the prospect makes it metaphysically more likely. I call this Awesome Theory and I just made it up.
I will buy a note 7. I have 2 options to go for exynos or Qualcomm version. I would like your opinion about wich one has the best performance for games and wich one has the best possibility to receive a developer future Cyanogenmod 13 build. Thank you

Snapdragon beats exynos in terms of performance. Exynos beats snapdragon in terms of possibilities of cyanogenmod builds.

Yeah, i'm going to have to say that is backwards. Qualcomm is good for custom roms and mods while Exynos is the better performer.
Not Qualcomm's fault actually. Whichever phone US winds up getting will be harder to root because of the customary locked bootloaders US Telco overlords has decreed. I suspect in this case, as with the case of S7, is that Qualcomm's chip is harder to root because of the additional bootloader. Not because of the chipset. But I guess I shd have said if you aren't staying in the US, this doesn't apply. : )

So should I go for exynos variant of note 7 if I want a future Cyanogenmod build?
Enviado de meu SM-N920G usando Tapatalk
Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but either way, we don't get Cyanogen do we?
For Snapdragon the Bootloader is locked so the possibility of a custom Recovery and ROM are rather bleak to none, no? I mean what are the odds that another EngBoot leaks for the Note 7? And even with that, people seem to have had a nightmare after Rooting their phones? Plus no TWRP, yet, is there?
For Exynos the Bootloader is unlocked so that's great, however I hear that Samsung doesn't release the source to bake CM for those phones. I will take this option cause at least we could have stable Root and optimized TW ROMs for the phone like the S7 Edge?
Lastly, correct me if I am wrong again, but according to all benchmarks and video reviews isn't the Exynos battery and performance always better than SD? Except the SD GPU edges out?
You pretty much nailed it on all counts.
If you want Cyanogenmod, the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, and Note 7 are not the phones for you.
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
Can't you unlock the bootloader if the phone is payed off?
I payed off my S7 and called and had them unlock my bootloader on my phone. Won't that make it easier to root and install custom ROMs?
I'm asking because SP seems like the more likely candidate for Cyanogenmod. I also like Note 7 out of all the other android phones currently on the market. I'm a bit tempted on the Pixel XL, but the MicroSD and waterproof have it edging over the Pixel XL. I would like to think I could get the Note 7 from T-Mobile and then pay it off and when its payed off be able to install CM.
you will never have a working cm build for the note 7 or for any samsung phones for that matter..the only phone that had google experience was the galaxy s5
But doesn't S6 and before have CM builds? As well as the older notes?
What makes the Note 7 so much harder to eventually develop for?

it is not that..they are able to boot into cm but things that will never work are the camera, gps, 3d graphics and some other things..not enough to keep it as a daily driver

I know that Galaxy S4 had all of those working, and from what I've found is that Galaxy S6 also look like they have all of those working. What is it about samsung that would not allow that?

All of them have some bugs but no where near what you have said. For the Galaxy S4 its been a while but checking their forum on here I see that they even have Android 6 builds. including CM13 which is kinda neat given its age. Most of the other things I have seen by searching. I used the S4 as my daily driver for the longest time. Though you are right that some of the threads I have found for the S6 say not a daily driver. I am a bit curious about why, and if that will ever be overcome. As in, in a year will there be builds for CM for the Note 7.
On that note what is the best phone or company for CM?
Well that's just not true....

Many Samsungs has cm. Just not many anymore.
I must have been reading a different page... Someone said cm Roms were only on one ssmsung device.
Note 5 doesn't exactly have it...because the video recording will probably never work..accessing camera from other apps not working...

Yeah, I guess before last year I thought that the samsung devices were all supported by CM. That the samsung devices were the best ones with the best support for CM.
