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.

Hi,
I have installed CM12 on Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5110), but now nothing is as sharp as it used to be with original Samsung ROM; all icons, text, etc. are not sharp.
How to fix this? Looks like I bought a cheap china device, but its N5110 and ive used it for 2 yrs
Also, how to get the SPen apps? cause now its useless, its just a pointer now.
Thanks.
Hey everyone I'm having an issue with my note 4 the NFC isn't turning on or off under the option to turn it on the slider is gray and stuck in the on position but its not actually on. Its running stock firmware 5.1.1 already tried master reset didn't fix the issue tried re flashing with smart switch app but the app isn't allowing it. Trying to cover all my bases here could I follow a guide on androidrom to do a fresh install and give that a shot before I try reaching out to samsung? My only concern is my baseband and build number are different currently on the phone. Any help would be great thanks.
Did you replace the battery? NFC has to be compatible within the battery I've read.
I've tried with three different batteries including the original.
Hello guys. I have Samsung galaxy note 4 SM-910F and after upgrade to 6.0.1 Marshmallow NFC is tuck ON but gray color and not work. Samsung don't know where is problem and because is more old than 2 years they will not cover cost.....was automatic upgrade from lollipop to marshmallow and now I can't use android pay for travel. Cool !!! (
have upgraded from note 4 uk model no SM-915-FY running stock Andriod version 6.0.1vs to the new note 10 plus 5g uk model no SM-N976B.
1) my note 4 has got more screen brightness to the note 10 on the same brightness level and the note 10 screen looks a bit duller.
2) The camera pictures quality looks good on the note4 then the note 10. i am using the camera app which came with the phone even after turning the beauty off in the camera settings.
has anyone else noticed the same diff.
is there any way to improve the camera picture quality on note 10, like any tweaks, i have heard that google camera gives better picture quality( is this merely a software issue then or ).
can someone comment which version of google camera to use on this phone or otherwise and where to download it for note 10 plus 5g.
many thanks
I have a note 4 to this day, and, what you are experiencing is by no means normal, the 10+ is way, way superior in all departments than the 4"s, my note 10+ screen is super bright, you should get your device checked by customer service, imo
for the brightness issue, go to settings > display > Screen mode > switch to VIVID
Hi! I'm new here. I am a complete Android upgrade/update/root etc.. virgin. What I'd like to do is if possible. Instead of having to buy a Note 10 for vastly improved camera photo quality. Is there a camera mod for the Note 8 (Exynos) Is there a custom ROM thats known to have a great camera? I do currently have a version of Google Pixel Camera v5 which blows away the stock camera app but Google Camera's on v7 now. Also, is it possible to update my device to Android 10 etc? My goal here is simply, the best possible quality camera/photos. Thank you for any help in advance!
