Ok. So I'm on my 3rd warranty replacement of my nexus 9 and 5.1.1 killed my lcd. Only works when you hands on the screen. It's through tmobile so I've been offered the option to swap the nexus 9 for another tablet. The options aren't that wide. I'm limited to a Ipad (have a mini and I don't want another ipad) galaxy tab s 10.5, the tab 4, and the LG gpad f. I honestly am Leaning towards the tab s 10.5. I know there's a new one on the horizon but I have to decide today so I'm asking you guys. Tab s 10.5 or no?

If thoses are your only options.. which one of the Tab S? Because if your getting a carrier branded Tmobile model then you arent going to see any good roms of the Tmobile Tab S. If you are just getting a wifi only Tab S then go for it! Tab 4 kinda sucks.. its a budget tablet. As for the Lg gpad im not sure. If your not worried about custom roms and such if its a Tmobile Tab S , give the Tab S a try. Screen is great!

It is the carrier model. I didn't root my nexus 9 hence why I giving up on it. I may root the tab s once I get it. When you say no good roms is the support bad like the galaxy s6?

Like 1 rom... you can install international roms but youll lose LTE/3g or what ever. So that means youll only be able to use wifi if you install international roms.

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.

I am thinking of buying an samsung galaxy tab 3 7 inch, but i wonder for how long the tablet will be supported. Do you think it ever even gets KitKat? As far as i can see, there are not even 4.3 roms out there Do you think this will change and will Samsung provide Official updates?

personally, if you can a few bucks, I would get the 8" model. but if not, i don't see the 7" getting kit kat. I would wait for the 2014 model.
Official support notice for gtab 3 7 with Kitkat should be here in a little while. I think the Sprint devices got their updates first already.
Can anyone point me to the direction where I can root this wifi tab 12.2 pro and where I can get roms I was told I can install note 12.2 roms please help thanks.

I'm very close to buying the Tab Pro 12.2, but haven't pulled the trigger due to the lack of ROMs/support available. There's just so many new Samsung tablets and apparently the Devs chose to buy the other ones. Wish sbreen94 would take an interest as he makes amazing ROMs.

I personally owned both models, and I would suggest you to buy Tab 3
Because it's more recent so, it does have the latest technology and latest firmwares.
All Tab 3 Models received KitKat firmwares, while Tab 2 won't even receive official Android 4.2 !

My note 4 is defective or something, So i bought me a different phone. but i still use my note 4 as a tablet at home only. I was thinking of selling my note 4 to get a note tablet, are any of the tablets on par?
Ive played with the tab s, and it was great but ive come to really like my spen and multitasking on my note 4. I know note tablets are a bit older than the note 4 but would any of them be a decent replacement?
I too am curious about this. I still use my note but I am one for uniformity and right now I have an lg gpad LTE which is a great size but I got it when I was using an lg g2. Im going to do some research
