Where are all the chefs? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
Received my tab S4 as upgrade from my Tab S3 from work yesterday. It is awesome. However.
What's up with the low number of custom roms? S3 was already in low supply, but here it's even more. Is it too hard, or are there just too few chefs? Or is the consensus to root the S4 and debloat/customize it on stock rom?
Instant edit Or even better: the few cooked roms that are there are all you need

I think it's something to do with the lack of an AOSP or even LineageOS version for the Tab S4, meaning any custom ROMs we'll get are from those crazy enough to screw around with the stock Samsung OS

dual booting customs roms with Galaxy S3 i747

hey i have been having some wifi problems with CM 10.1.2 Aka Android 4.2.2 Jelly BEAN. anywz i have decided to go back to STOCK CUSTOM TOUCHWIZ 4.1.2 and it has been smooth, stable no problems but i like CM on 4.2.2, since Samsung is realising 4.3 for Galaxy S3 next month and 4.4 is already here but 4.2.2 is the most stable and since Sammy will not give out 4.2.2 for Galaxy S3 i had to try with CYANOGENMOD, AOKP, PARANOID, CARBON ROMS to get the feel of 4.2.2 on my S3 which i will never for touchwiz (FU SAMMY, SO MAD THAT I WANNA GO AND PUNTCH SOME SAMSUNG OFFICIALS)
the point is, idont wanna lose TOUCHWIZ and latest stable 4.2.2 with CM so how i can dual boot this two roms, i have read and searched and the only thing that came up was for the old HTC phones like Desires HD, S, Z, EVOS, INCREDIBLES, INSPIRE, MYtouch, Nexus One, Sensation, Thunderbolt and HTC'S stuck on 2.3, or ice cream sandwich, the International Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 right here on XDA, the international Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100, I9100G, the SGS 2 EPIC 4G sprint variant if am correct and some Moto droids plus
wats the big difference or hype that the international can dual boot or can do better than the American Variants???????????????????
anyone finds how to dual boot on the Galaxy S3 I747 PLEASE REPLY ASAP, am sure there's some file, answer or something hidden on this XDA forums that can help me, its just too hard to dig up hundreds of pages just to find a software or programme or app that can do this
any suggestion, idea, solution or ANYTHING is allowed i just need to dual boot, i cant KEEP BACKING UP, RESTORING ROMS WHILE IT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME AND SPACE, MONEY, ITS TOO STRESSFUL, Sometimes it might or might not work cuz of a MD5 file mismatch which makes me wanna hate android more
so help anyway if you can, reply, we can solve it who knows
THIS IS SAMSUNG FAULT THAT AM STUCK ON 4.1.2 ON TOUCHWIZ cuz i cant upgrade and have to USE CM 10.1.2 TO USE 4.2.2 and guess what 4.3 is out and 4.4 will be out sooner than later so arghhhhhhhhhhh it makes wanna get an IPHONE 5 and use their IOS 7 which almost looks identical to gingerbread-ICS-windows PHONE FEEL and its apple its smooth like a baby butt and simple enough 50-60 year old gramma to use it
get yur $h!t TOGETHER Samsung the S3 is just a year old, update it or am done, NEXUS 5, S5, NOTE 3, ONE or even the LUMIA 1020 with the odd couple at the back 42 megs
sorry for the rant but i need to dual boot customs roms

[Q] Use S Note On Custom Roms

I've been using stock-based custom roms for about 6 month. But I feel like the roms kinda 'heavy' with touchwiz and all samsung bloatware. I wanted to use a lighter rom (CynogenMod and other pure android). But I'm afraid I cannot use S Note apps as Im a student and use the S note to take any kind of notes. Any S note cant be used, any other way to make it work on those roms?
Thank you in advance n have a nice day

Tab Pro 8.4 - Stock KitKat or Lollipop ROMs?

Hey guys,
I bought one of these tabs and the specs are pretty good but i hate UX. Its enough for me to return it.
I'd rather not flash to CyanogenMod and instead use a regualr plain ole KitKat or Lollipop AOSP stock Rom.
Does such a beast exist? I've looked everywhere.
Cheers.... Shane
"Stock" is a really confusing term to use. Stock for this device means TouchWiz. I think you mean something like GPE (Google Play Edition) or Nexus type ROM, without any manufacturer customization. Some may consider this "stock Google" in a sense. But as very few actual devices have come with such a thing out of the box, its hard for me to consider this "stock".
Even calling CM and the like "AOSP" is a stretch. CM and many other "AOSP" ROMs have so many customizations at this point, its hard to see any relation to the original Android OS as it comes from Google.
Ok, rant over.
I haven't seen anything like that (Nexus or GPE ROM for this device), unfortunately. I'd say just bite it and flash either CM11 or Slimkat, as they are IMO much less laggy and bloated then TouchWiz.
Have you guys tried Lollipop yet? I have (Nexus) and OMG it's actually quite a few steps backward and definitely not ready for prime-time. In fact, I heard it's even worse on Tablets compared to Phones.
I'm GLAD this tablet is only on 4.4.2 -- I would love a 4.4.4 upgrade, but that's it. I do not want Lollipop to hit the Galaxy Tab Pro series until at least Android v5.1 or 5.2 so that some of the horrible design decisions have been reversed, or at least adjusted.
I agree that Lollipop is not ready for prime time. I installed from the factory images on both a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 10 -- and the rolled back to KitKat. Biggest issue for me was unavailability of Xposed Framework.
At this point I'm happy to stay with this ROM plus my Xposed tweaks:

Just get the Google Now Launcher. I dislike the Touchwiz laggy UI as well. When I intalled GNL the lag went away + I still had the extra Samsung features!

[Q] might geht myself a note

Hello,
I've been thinking about getting myself a Note 10.1, mostly because of the S-Pen.
Since I don't like TW at all, I visited the Android development subforum and got confused about the different versions.
So I've seen ROMs for the P600/601/605. As far as I know, the white lte version is the P605 and both white wifi versions (16 or 32GB) are the P600. The black versions have another zero added (P6000 and P6050), but I guess they can still use the roms designed for the P600 and P605 respectively, right? And which one is the P601?
Also the S-Pen seems to be fully functional under some of the custom-roms, with palm rejection working, or am I wrong?
Thanks for taking your time to answer my questions!

OK. All WiFi/g3 only Note is the p600. All the ones the carriers carry are the p605-7 which use snapdragon CPUs. I am currently rooted and running a custom ROM called LiquidSmooth, this is a Lollipop ROM. I am about to release it, just got the last go a head last night. It has S-Pen support. It doesn't have some of the features that tw has, but these are easy to replace, with an app, if you want them. Palm rejection work fine. Buy the Note root it then install a custom ROM like Liquid, CM 12 which is extremely bare bone and doesn't have the S-Pen customization, or temasek which is based off CM 12 but with a heck of a lot more customization.

[Q] Ace IIx/Trend vs Galaxy Ace II

Hey all,
Before this phone I had a Note 4, but through an unfortunate series of events I was rendered phoneless and the Ace IIx is all I can afford right now, so here I am. Anyway, the reason I bring up my prior Note 4 ownership is because on that phone there were a bunch of variants as well, but it was possible to flash roms between some of the variants through flashing a compatible kernel as well, or in more difficult cases a data fix or things of that sort.
Anyway, is anything like that doable here as well? Or are my dreams of flashing PA on my AceIIx fruitless? If that's the case, I'm limited strictly to a few different cm 10/11 builds, beanstalk, omni 4.4 and pacrom 4.2 right? Or are there some more that I've somehow missed?
I had heard there was at the very least also slimkat ported over, but I can't find it anywhere and this gives me hope I've missed something very fundamental.
Any shred of help with any of these questions would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
