[Q] Development for 8" Version

Are there any developers working on custom ROMs for Tab 3 (8" version)?
I'm trying to decide between a Nexus 7 (2013 model), Note 8.0, and Tab 3 8".
Custom ROMs, preferably AOSP based, are very important to me. The Tab 3 has been out for 2 months and there are still no custom ROMs available for the 8" version. Are we likely to see some fully functioning CM or AOSP ROMs anytime soon?

Crickets.....

Well I made a post
Like this yesterday and a developer said they will be porting a stock 4.3 ROM to it soon but I would wait a month because the lg g pad will be coming out and it has some crazy specs

I bought a 8 inch version yesterday, awesome tablet even straight out of the box, but was shocked that theres no custom ROMS for it, is it dead or something?

I would not expect any development for the Tab 3 8.0.. This is just not a Tinker's Tablet..
If ROM's are what you are looking for, you need to return this Tablet.. Pony Up another $100.00 bucks and go for the Note 8.0.. I stood in the store for like 30 minutes holding the Note 8.0 & Tab 3 8.0 side by side comparing everything.. Even though they are both 800 x 1200 Res Screens, Our Tab 3 8.0 Screens are Brighter & Sharper than the Note 8.0 's Screen.. I TRIPLE CHECKED that..
Having just sold my Galaxy Note phone, I knew all about the S-Pen and knew it was something that I would not miss.. so why spend another $100.00 for a Screen that is not as Bright or Sharp as this one? That's why I chose the Tab 3 8.0 I also have the iPad Mini which is an 8 inch screen.. I now feel this is the Perfect Size Screen for a Tablet..
But, You need to choose between the Nexus-7 2013 ( I had one and returned it for the Tab 3 8.0 ) and the Note 8.0.. You will have all the ROM's Pacman, Carbon, Slim, AOSP, AOKP, CM 10.1 to choose from..
But.. You will either give up screen size or dollars for the luxury of running those ROM's..
I just Rooted so I could install a Custom Recovery do Backups and Remove any App I deemed not needed.. I'll play with some Xposed Framework if Launcher Theming gets too boring..

Hahaha. You returned your nexus 7 for a tab 3 8 too? Now we don't need to install auto hide! Bezel buttons FTW.
I actually have both the note 8 and the tab 3 8 right now. I still don't know which I'm going to keep! Pros for the tab are that its lighter and narrower, thus easier to hold when reading. Pros for the note are that the wider bezels make of easier to type on in portrait. The s-pen is a cool toy but ill probably use it 3 times a year. Speed is mostly irrelevant. I don't see a difference for day to day stuff.
I don't know what you're talking about the screens being different. I thought they are literally the same screen.... like the same part from the same factory. Is that not correct?

Hey Rum!
They are suppose to be the same.. but my in store eye test told me quite different.. maybe there are variables that we are not aware of.. But I set them both to full brightness and compared several similar screens.. and it was no contest in my eyes.. The Note 8.0 was good.. but the Tab 3 8.0 was better..
Good Luck in your decision Rumatt.

sad, until now still no Dev for Tab 3 8" and 10", it's more likely they all go for N7 2013.

Waiting for cm team to release a mod. Based on their sources majority of roms will flow out.

[Q] Which one is better, Gpad or Note8.0?

Gpad has better resolution, and Note 8.0 has S-pen...

well as you ask this in gpad's section i believe most will tell you that gpad is better. I really like samsung note 8 but it was more expensive than gpad

Now 8 is brighter and had. Spen. Everything else from speed weight screen resolution and price was better on this. Am a note 3 user so did not feel I wanted another so similar device. Also living the kit kat roms this

If only these noobs knew how to use the search button rather than reposting discussions that already exist.

This gpad has 1920x1200 resolution microsd with exfat support out of the box. Knock and qremote features are very useful. The price is much better than the note 8, if you want something for note taking buy the 10.1 2014.

10.1 2014, Pro 12.2, Surface Pro2 or other Windows 8 tablet?

I am trying to make a purchase decision. I am a Mac user. The MacBook Pro 15" is my work computer. I use it for research, scientific writing and pdf reading. It is 2kg. I have been looking for a lighter device (preferably below 1kg) that I could use for pdf annotation and reading while waiting at the bus stop, on the bus and in restaurants. A Note Pro 8.4" would be the most ideal device but Samsung decided to release only a S-pen less Tab Pro 8.4" I considered to get the 12.2 Pro but worry that it is a bit heavy. Also, at that price, I could get a Surface Pro 2 or a pen-based Windows 8 tablet. What suggestion do you have? Any news on when a Note Pro 8.4" will be out? Thanks.

No idea yet mon. We all rely on google for info really. If the 12.2 is too big get the Note 10.1 2014 edition. Same specs but very light and mobile

Nothing's changed since you asked the same questions in this earlier thread you started. And since the same people who responded the first time are still here you'll get the same answers. That is if they take the time to respond again.

there is the older Note 8.0
or maybe you would consider Tegra Note, so far Ive been hearing good things about it

Well if it means anything to you I've dumped a Lenovo Tablet 2 for the Note 10.1 2014.
I have a laptop (and a desktop) and wanted something smaller and lighter. The Lenovo is great if you really need the desktop apps. But the pen and apps for it seem better on the Note. And at the time I got the Note I could have gotten the Surface Pro (version 1) for about the same price, even with the touch cover. I'm happier with the note than I was with Lenovo and I really don't think the extra power of the Surface Pro would have made any difference, to me at least.

I heard that the Note Pro 12.2 can charge faster. Is this true? This could be an determining factor. Don't know why the Note Pro 12.2 LTE is not available yet.

Whats the closest possible tablet closest to our 8.4s?

Just curious guys, if you had to buy a tablet in the 7 to 9 inch range, not including the 8.4, what would you choose and why?
I love my 8.4 but 2 years have passed and imo I still dont see a suitable replacement.

I would wait for the Tab S3. Maybe announced in March.

Question Anyone came from OP 8 Pro?

I would like to know if it's anyone here who came from 8 Pro. Is it even worth it ? What is your experience ? These devices are so similar to each other that I'm trying to find differences. I would buy 9 Pro for the camera but reviews are pretty mixed. What do you think?

I did and not a whole lot of difference in feel. I like the 9 Pro's latest cameras, processor / GPU, 5G, Warp Speed....

I came from a oneplus 8 pro and outside of loving the matte finish on the 8, there's not much difference at all. I do love the faster wireless charging. That alone makes it worth it, lol.

If money is not a problem, yes. You buy it for youre plesure.
It is not a BiG difference between them. And maybe 10 pro will have Haselblad lens (price could be scary).
Me, i want to buy 9 pro, then sell 8 pro. Just for fun. i'm hunting for a good deal. Just like i did from 7 pro to 8 pro.
