Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking forward to getting a new SGTS 8.4 soon, however I noticed that the 2 models share the same development sub-forum, does that mean custom ROMs and kernels for the 2 models could be shared?

Hi there. Welcome to the forum it all depends on if the developer has made it compatible with both or just the one. They will clearly state what version it's for

I noticed there are two separate forums for Android development for the Note II.
Why is that? What does 'Original Android' mean in this context?
I have frequented other device forums but have not come across these two separate forums for any device (that I have used).
From what I've seen that refers to original rooms and mods built for/from the note 2 as opposed to ports from other devices

I believe the android development section is meant for stuff based on the Samsung software, where original android development is meant for the stuff that isn't based on the Samsung software, like cyanogenmod.

The thing is,what ever you create from scratch goes into original android Dev section while whatever you develop my modifying existing source/code goes into android development
For example:cyanogen mod being build from scratch and a kernel build from scratch goes into original android dev section while custom roms depending on Sammy stock roms cm sources or kernels depending already existing custom kernel sources goes into android development

Thanks for the replies guys!
I guess its a new thing XDA is implementing since other devices (that I have owned) do not have this distinction; all the ROMS are released under one forum.

Actually, this is a practice that has been going on for a year or so, it started with the Samsung S2, and spread to other popular devices.

I'm seriously considering purchasing the T-mobile Note II (SGH-T889), but I realize that it has some hardware variations compared to the international version and other US versions. If I want to flash a ROM, will I have to find one specifically made for the T-mobile variant or will I be able to use any of the ROMs in the development section? Will developers simply make them universally compatible?
T Mobile t889 roms only that's not to say a little while down the road the devs won't be able to find out how to flash ROMs across variants

I've got an AT&T upgrade available and am trying to decide between this and the Note 2, so far I'm leaning towards this but I have a couple of questions first.
How is development coming along? I looked at the Dev sections but they are completely empty so should I just assume it isn't rooted yet? Or is it that the bootloader is not unlocked yet?
If its still all locked down, how is progress coming along with it, or is there anywhere I could read up to find out more?
If I don't make sense, feel free to ask me questions or give me links to anything. Just got off a 10 hour shift when I'm used to 4 so my brain is kinda fuzzy at the moment. Thanks guys I hope to be posting more in the Optimus section soon.
The AT&T model is rooted and bootloader unlocked. Devs are working on custom roms. There is a base rom for devs and those who want to a debloated stock rom plus goodies.
You'll find more info in the AT&T forum for the LGOG.

Well thanks, I honestly didn't even notice the AT&T version forums. Is this just a general Optimus G area or is this a specific version?

Hi
I like testing new Roms to discover new UI, features,.... But for several weeks the development of new Roms is almost dead (many roms already exist, the new section of Galaxy S 4, Note 8.0...)
Of course I thank all developpers who worked and still work for the Note II section!!! :good:
I had a look at AT&T Note II section and it seems that several Roms don't exist for N7100 International. I'm not a developper but I already saw a few threads about porting roms and it seems that it does't require a lot of time... As a reminder I'm not a developper
Everybody has a lot of things to do but if some developers could port AT&T remaining roms to N7100 section it would be AWESOME!!!
I hope that my suggestion is the beginning of new threads
Thank you.
What's the point? We have plenty of awesome ROMs that they don't - and I don't think we're missing out on anything.
:good:

That's not my point of view. I'm very glad to see the good work of each developper.
If you compare with themes for CM10.1 based roms, even if 20 themes already exist I will also be happy to discover one more theme.

Themes are not the same though. If you have already ROMs which offer exact same functions and more, what's the point of other ROMs? It's fun to try out, but it's not necessary at all. As in not worth porting.

Of course.. I didn't check all remaining Roms from AT&T section. It was only a suggestion
What is the different between these 2 threads? :
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Development
The items in the original development section are based on aosp.

Not really just because they're AOSP.

So, as one who come from Xperia where I can find better roms and news, in the original development (aosp) or in development thread?

It all depends on what you're looking for. Both sections have great ROM.
☞Sent from here☜
Check out BOTH areas because you will sell yourself short if you don't. Also some i9505 roms work with tmobile m919 so check out that too. I'm currently running a i9505 rom as my daily on my m919. Its called bobcat.i really like it. Check it out if you like themed roms. But do try these places mentioned and don't stick with just one area. So many great roms. Have fun
