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.

Yeah, consumption is always a good thing. Says Mr. "FinancialWar". Pun intended? :laugh::laugh:
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 .

Good morning everybody
Hope you are all well. Well i am shortly about to become an owner of the Note 2 and am considering rooting through the new Cyganmod easy root feature, but am tempted by the features of the new note 3
(Only reason i picked the Note 2 is A cost and B its still very good value for money in terms of specs and performance)
My question is... what are the benefits of rooting this powerful phone and secondly how does Cyganmod fare on this device and thirdly can i get the note 3 rom to work after rooting with Cyganmod
Lastly can any members comment on how the Note 3 rom works on the Note 2 and whether you feel its worth installing or should i just use Cyganmod?
I apologize for all the questions but i am a complete noob at rooting but i know your all a very helpful bunch so will say thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you
Cheers
You can't flash the Note3 rom on the Note2. Maybe u mean the DN3 Rom.
Anyways you do not have to use Cyanogenmod for rooting the Note2.
Just flash the rom and use cf-autoroot and wififix (if you want the DN3 Rom).
anyhow, not all note3 features can be fixed and used in note 2... furthermore, dev are working hard to fix fcs...
my suggest, if u are looking forward to note3 features, better u get the real note3 rather than the clone (note2 custom note3 features)...

Hello,
I'm getting rid of my old Nokia n900 and looking into the world of Android devices.
Right now I'm in between Note 2 and Note 3. Regarding KNOX, eFUSE and rooting, which Note should I chose over the other one and why?
Is the Note 2 software-wise on the same level as the Note 3? With custom ROM's it seems to be but that would trigger eFUSE/KNOX and void the guarantee?
Thanks a lot!
Note 2 is better ....Note 3 might have extra features bt u can get them on note 2 by rooting.
Note 2 right now has gr8 on price
And also note 3 is unstable..

i really dont know which place u belong to but i will be referring to india for the time being..
Comparing the phones is not actually the right thing..
Those who have a NOTE 2 dont find it WORTH upgrading to a Note 3..!!
Having said this.. Note 2 costs 26-28 k depending on the place you are located in india..!
Note 3 costs 44-47 K again depending on state to state..!
so the difference is pretty huge..!
Note 2 is getting kitkat which is the latest android version for the time being.. But it is not getting any of the Note 3 features..!
And as far as my eperience goes with samsung KK 4.4.2 will be the last update for Note 2
Note 3 has already got kitkat official now..!
So u will be rooting a Note 2 triggering knox or voding warranty ( if it has 4.3 Out of the box) else u wont trigger knox and find a way around like we all have done here..!
and u will flash Note 3 pack to have a note 3 feel..!
So my take is If u can afford (i could not) Go for a Note 3 directly and stick to it for some time.. For me Note 3 is the only touchwiz phone i have not seen lagging till date..!!
Cheers..!

Thanks for your replies! As I don't own either of them it won't be an upgrade but a start from scratch.
I've found an unused Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile branding for € 250. I guess that's a bargain.
A new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 LTE will be € 329 cheapest from a shop, used ones are around € 260 on Ebay.
Looking forward to get that Note 3 - I was looking for a black one and this is white but no questioning for the price.
I think it is a good deal.................. go ahead
There was galaxy note 8 and note 10 previously but i cant find it now
they either removed it or holding it back
anyway today poland confirmed note 2 lollypop . there is lot of similar hardwares we can find in note 2 and note 8
hope they release all codes of this also
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...will-get-Official-Android-5-0-Lollipop-Update
Note 8.0 LollyPop
I am sure the Note 8.0 will receive LollyPop.
KitKat is a farce, compared to Jellybean. Have 2 Note 8.0s now, one is listed in my sig and the other I have been dealing with for some time since grabbing it on Ebay for less then $100. Who knows what little Lollypop will do for the Note 8.0, as so far JB has proven to me how stable and battery friendly it is over KitKat. Besides LPs interface is to gimmicky and waists screen space. Since more an more apps are pushing the new design, I am getting more and more fed up with Android in general. Samsung Tizan and Linux OS will save me from Google's self worshiping toy interface style.
I don't think soon
cause of release of tab a8
Same hardwear or lower
more expensive than note 8 cause of lollipop
If updated
no body will buy tab a8
Hi Friends,
My note 2 is dying and I have decided to switch to new phone.
Could you please suggest recent good ones?
I was thinking of Nexus 6
Any opinions?
Once Note, forever Note
So go for Note 4, Note Edge or Note 5.
Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk
Considering the Nexus 6 price drop, thats probably what I'd pick
But if money is not a concern, why not the Note 4/5 ? The S-pen has its moments. I think I would definitely miss it if/when I switch to a non-Note phone
PS: Note 2 dying ? I dont believe that, unless you broke it or something
My Note II, is almost still as good as new, so I wanted to try something even bigger this time over? so I'm using the Huawei X2 for the last 2 months now with the expectation that will return back to my Note once it's proven that the X2 is too big for daily use, but none of that happened so far?.
