Slightly disappointed by the nexus 6 so I'm considering taking advantage of the $400 note 3 deal for T-Mobile coming up soon. Is AOSP roms stable enough to transition easily from my nexus 5? How easy is it to install a custom rom on the Note 3?
I see deadly when compared to a Note 2 or Nexus.
The T-Mobile note 3 is super easy to root and ROM. I'm running the PAC-ROM AOSP based version now. It's working great, very stable, fast, and smooth.

Hello,
I see a lot of work being done in Original Android Development and that is really exacting to see!
I'm planing to buy a new smartphone and I was waiting to see what the Note 3 has to bring to the table, and I don't think we need 3gb of ram in any near future, and Super Amoled on Note 3 is pentile.
So for me there are only 2 options Note II or G Pro. I really like the G Pro because of Full HD screen, 13mpx camera, and Snapdragon 600 processor.
No matter what phone will I buy I will install custom rom on it (Pure Android AOSP, cm10.1 / 2...)
Now I have one question for you and one request;
Do you believe that G Pro will get fully stable 4.3 rom, and as far as the roms are at the moment are they fluid, and fast? I would totally buy Nexus device but it has to small screen for me, so speed and fluidity is a factor for me. Note II has Exynos processor but we all know how is Samsung with the source release, they just don't release it so the Note II will newer get used to the full potential...
How is LG in that department?
And I have one request. Can someone make a video of any pure Android based rom running on G Pro, so i can see that phone in action?
Thank you from hope to be soon user of G Pro!
even when I'm typing this, we're already having SlimBean 4.3 Beta. that's we can stay pretty stable. But what version u gonna buy? that's the big question. Development is in quicker pace fro E980 version, but the pace is still very slow (or can I say no go) for other variants such as E988. So, check out which version is compatible with the carrier you're using, and how many custom roms available for that version of handset. just my 2 cents
Is there anything on the s5 or the note 3 that I cannot do on my note 2(rooted and on custom ROM off course) ?
I know that the infrared remote thing and the s health things dont wprk.
The camera is not THAT good but its good enough for normal use
The battery in Note2 is better than s5.(I'm not very sure though)
And off course the stylus..too useful for me
My sister is looking to buy a new phone. Note 2 is the cheapest of these.. Should we consider note 2 then ?
Hello ,
Yeah ofcourse , Note 3 and S5 are honestly very costly . If you buy a Note 2 and root it and install BlackTox Rom or DN3 Rom then it becomes an ultimate gadget . When I bought Note 2 it was the latest flagship . But as Samsung every year releases 2 flagships , Note 2 became old . Then these revolutionary ROMs were created by our respectful devs which gave a lifeline to my note 2 and I'm very satisfied with it . If your sister doesn't hesitate in buying Note 2 , then I would definitely recommend that you should go for Note 2 :thumbup::thumbup:

I agree with what Aeyan said but one thing we should keep in mind Note II won't see the next big android release since Google will stop supporting it soon.Compared to Note 3 which will get 5.0 for sure. So if you do root your sister's phone and such the latest version she can be on will be 4.4.2 or 4.4.3.So Note 3 might be a better investment compared to Note II.

I agree..so arent the ports as good? I'm sorry I'm still a beginner
For eg: my old phone was an sk17i. I broke the screen on that one but on the dev page there's always a new 4.4 rom

The current ports are awesome but most of us have had our phones for around a year if not more.So most likely we'd upgrade to note 4 this fall.We've been happy with what the developers are offering but since it's a TW based ROM,samsung has to depend on supporting our phone and then samsung tweaks it to add their stuff and releases to us.If you would only want to flash AOSP rom on note II then I am sure AOSP/CM developers will support note II for atleast another year easily but with AOSP rom you lose the functionality of many Samsung features like S note and other Samsung related software.
note2 does not have gorilla glass AFAIK..
For software features, almost all note 2 can have.
aah thanks!! but I just cant decide if 43k for a note 3 is worth it..note 2 was 27k last yr when I bought it and its 28k now.. No fall in price
Hi guys, I am having a tough time deciding between Note 4 Developer Edition and the Pure Android Experience known as the Nexus 6. They both have their pros and cons but I am leaning towards the Note 4 if I can get a understanding of the future of Note 4 roms. Touchwiz bloat is on my hit list and the main reason why I cannot currently pull the trigger on the Note 4. I have had a Gnex since it was released and am sooo ready to move on but I loves me some pure Android and touchwiz is about as far off of pure android as they come.
So, do roms of the Note 4's future offer a pure Android experience with some of better features of the stylus and touchwiz thrown in? Or once you go touchwiz you are stuck with it?
If you guys are to tell me that soon, a awesome, mostly pure Lolipop rom will grace the Note 4 I can and will cancel my Nexus 6 Pre-Order so help me understand the future of the Note 4!
Thanks!

I was having this same internal debate a few days ago. I own the note 3 and now the 4. I lone the screen size on the N6 but for me to spend that much money on a phone I need more. I don't like touchwiz but I love the functionality of the note series. I can always get a pure experience like on my N7 but for my phone I want some added benefits. When the custom ROMs start to roll out you can always get a pure android ROM.
^^ So do the custom pure roms on the Note 3 offer stylus functionality? and to be clear, does a pure custom rom hold a candle to a pure Nexus experience?
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

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
I recently loaded the Bliss (Android 6.01) ROM on my Nexus 7, and it seems like a very nice ROM.
I noticed it's available on Note 3, but not on Note 4. Anyone interested in porting it from the Note 3 over to the 4?

And good luck. Official 6.0.1 for Note 4 isn't that far out. I don't see devs putting in the work when it's (official) coming soon.... But that's just my opinion.
You're exactly right. I'm not gonna waste time on leaks right now. Plus i have my hands full anyway.
