[Q] Will the Note II get an official CM10?

Hello there peeps, I'm an X Note I user, really enjoyed the experience until my phone got broke heh! And then I bought an S3, my current phone. Im currently running CM10 on my S3, runs good, but because of the close sourcing of the Exynos processor, its still not THAT smooth as it should be. But my taste always is a bigger screen, so I want to get back a Note II. I highly DOUBT that Im ever gonna use Touchwiz....
So the question is, will the Note II get a hands on from Teamhacksung? And we'll get an official support from CM10?
Besides, Samsung has finally decided to give devs some documentation of its Exynos4 source !
Replies would be appreciated as I'm considering to buy the Note in few days, still not so sure! Hope you can help

The current CM team isn't touching any future exynos devices besides the S3 and the Tab if im correct. But if someone new want to come in and start developing for the Note 2 than it would be possible, which we already have a few members here working on CM10 for the note 2 and made some progress. CM10 in the works
Don't expect any official support for CM tho on the Note2..
Running a AOSP build just goes against everything the Note 2 was meant for

Then why did we have a CM10 support for the Note 1 ? Same idea, the whole idea about the Note was with the pen. And yet, the Note I got an official CM10. I dont care about the pen features, Im after a gorgeous 5.5 inch screen actually...and run AOSP rom on it. I can't bare touchwiz.

Well who cares?

Those who have tried AOSP roms and figured out that it beats Samsung's Touchwiz ROMS ? Easily and clearly. Forget about the feature Sammy plug in which are awesome for intance. But when it comes to performance and UI ? The Vanilla pure Android experience is the best one out there....

because it uses a older processor than the new Note 2 and GS3 (Exynos 4210) we use Exynos 4412, the GS2 even have problems with CM and other aosp roms. (Didn't some of your roms the menu button didnt work?)
Also the US version of the Note 1 came with a snapdragon processor..
Samsung just don't want to release the right docs for the Exynos line. you can build a AOSP rom for the note 2 it just would be a a$$ to get everything fully working with out the sources you need.

Reb0rn and simone are both working on an unofficial CM10 for the note 2, and I believe Entropy said if they get it working and all their gerrit **** is OK there's no reason for it not to be made official with them as the maintainers.
I may be wrong about that last bit though, it's best to just go read that thread.

I believe cm10 is a downgrade from the stock software. Multitasking for example separates this phone from the rest. Never thought that I'll say a phone out of the box better suits my needs than cm10, aokp, or paranoid. Sorry

No word on 4.2.2 on the Note 2?

As in topic... Seems very quiet about the 4.2.2 update for note 2 and gs3... Since the gs4 is out the FW should be available.

Think you have it bad? O2 havent even pushed out 4.1.2 yet.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

sadly i assume it would take a few more months. Just as JB 4.1.2 took awhile till it was released to S2 and Note 1.
Hoping for a few leaks soon

At least a few months away, surely? Well, at least we're getting updates. Samsung is probably the least worst when it comes to OTA updates, in my experience at least.
I'm waiting for someone to port S4 camera and everything to Note. I can wait for the rest of the gimmicks

Yeah Samsung aren't too bad with updates especially considering just how much stuff they add to the aosp Android base. They add an awful lot of features and the updates may take time but they do come.

It's better to wait. Android 4.2.2 on the GS4 is very, very laggy in some situations (browser, gallery)

Lag is no big deal, custom ROMs should take care of the lag if not just the launcher - if that's the typical touchwiz lag we're talking about. Happy with 4.1.2 itself though, no rush.

Well... 4.1.2 is laggy too and all other versions of touchwiz, so lagg is there to stay it seems...
It seems that lagg is one of the features of android

Note II doesn't lag for me at all, it's extremely fluid (on Nova launcher).

CM 10.1, with android 4.2.2, runs absolutely fine on my Note 2. The rom is good enough for daily use. I don't think the SG4 is the right reference at this moment.

Unfortunately, seems that samsung is more interested to develop a system full of useless things (air view, s-health, smart stay and soooooo on) than a system that performs like pure google experience roms. I used a Nexus 4 for a couple of days and the smoothness was excellent, like iOS or WP. On Touchwiz roms even the messages app is laggy.
It's a shame that AOSP roms on the note 2 aren't so good (no s-pen support and, more important, worse battery life)

According few twitter friends (note the rumour tone) samsung must release a beta 4.2.2 in few weeks, and a full release soon before next Google IO (where we will saw Android 5 just to keep us dreaming again)

Oh cut them some slack, they have to get the touchwiz features working on 4.3. We could always switch to CM based ROMs if we want a taste of 4.3 :good:

Keep calm and read.

Beyond the "having the latest" there isn't a lot to add from 4.2. I mean, phones don't have the multi user (WTF Google!) and for the user it basically adds the notification buttons, which we already have, only now in a different page of notifications.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing to hope for the 4.2 in the Note is whatever Samsung adds to make it "suite".

Samsung fares much better than my previous phone manufacturer motorola in terms of updates.
When I bought the razr which supposedly is promised to be upgradable to ics... It was on gb out of the box. Took them 2 years to push out ics.
And even then it was so laggy even with a clean reboot with cache and everything wiped.
And the razr was their flagship phone.
Reason I left Motorola is its slow updates.

AOSP Lollipop builds?

Hi guys, has anyone tried to make an AOSP Lollipop build for D855? It would be awesome, I can't actually use the official Lollipop firmware (too laggy for a Nexus user ), and I'm sure that other members will appreciate it...
Sorry for my bad English

Yes I'm testing right now as I type this.

Sometimes it's not the content, but the tone that's insulting. I never had issues with critical remarks during my active time in my threads, it was just when users were impolite or were requesting stuff instead of asking. So like in real life it does make a difference how you deliver your message.
In any case we all chill now and have a cold beer or decent wine

If you ask me it's not AOSP Lollipop that we need (Because it really has little to offer now that we have the LG Lollipop + AOSP 4.4.4 builds).
I used to have a N5 with Lollipop and it's super nice and everything, but I think we need AOSP + Proper camera support.
If that happens I'm off LG's slow crappy software package.
I get almost 3000 in GeekBench on AOSP while LG Lollipop is a wooping 2300. Woop woop LG. :laugh:

Please be respectful to other members. If you do see someone violating Forum Rules, use the report post function instead of posting 3 pages of nonsense. Let us handle it.

Thanks.

I'll be willing to test and AOSP Lollipop build for the D855 model. LG's UI is nice but having had a Nexus in the past, I don't find anything better than Vanilla Android.

LGs terrible UI makes me miss my nexus 5 Will there be an official CM 12 build for the g3?

I think we will probably get it and a few other official builds of different ROMs as well.
I suspect the reason we haven't had many KitKat AOSP ROMs is because the we've only just been given a way to flash them and a lot of the ROM teams have stopped working on KitKat to concentrate on Lollipop.

I am thinking the same way. We will get official supported by cyanogenmod etc. When they all bring out theyr lolipop versions.

Lollipop in D855 is having issues flashing right now, not to mention huge amount of issues running, it will take a few more weeks until it can be run as a nightly

D851 got a CM12 build

Does XCam qualify as proper camera support?

I'm also one that falls into the "LG's UI stinks" camp. It's just awful.

Facts, it all depends on AT&T if they want to do any damn work. We may not see Lollipop until maybe mid 2015, if at all.

There are quite a few CM12 Lollipop builds for the Note 2 as of right now. However, there still needs to be some ironing of bugs. The only bug that is critical for me is netflix

We'll see. I'l believe it when I see it

Are they saying they are going to update the LTE variants?

Where's my update ???....
Oh...I've got AT$T....so that means I'll be dead before they ever drop an update. ...lol...g

I was thinking of upgrading to a note 4 or mega but I think I'll just stop buying Samsung phones if att Note 2 doesn't get Lollipop or a leak within 6-12 months. Or atleast know for sure it will come.. because I keep hearing conflicting info... like it's still up in the air whether we will get it.
I might get an LG flex or Sony ultra z next....basically anything that isn't Samsung.

Like I said, I'll believe i when I see it.

The Note 2 is passed the 18-month updates requirement by Google. If it gets it, it will be a bonus but don't bet your money on it.

Google updates don't apply to Samsung flagships since, well, the Note 2 isn't a Google phone (Nexus). And that 18 month thing is arbitrary. Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 still had the update despite passing that update window.

Will the Ditto Note 4 ROM work on the SPH-L900?

Hello all, I'm new here and just picked up a cheap brand new SPH-L900 and I've seen a ROM that will give the Note 2 the features available on a Note 4 but will it work on the Sprint variant of the phone??

Looks like development for this phone is dead. I've been looking around and a lot of the custom roms stopped in 2014

For Android 5.1 your choices are Mokee and cm12.1. For 4.4.4 you do have a handful of decent choices. Though, you are correct development has come to a slow crawl. I keep telling myself today is the day I will commit to learning to port... But that hasn't happened yet.

Thank you Champeau. Are there any roms that mimic the Note 4 like DN4?

I think the closest you can get to note 4 is smoothest note 2/3. There are a couple s5 roms out there.
Jlmancuso is still banned from here, I think, but you can still look through his android file host files. Jlmancuso has some s5 stuff, he also ported cyanideL... Just look at his files. There is a lot there.

Also this guy has been keeping a pretty updated list of roms for years.
