Hello, xdaDevs,
I recently got my Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5110) and I was surprised by the tiny number of ROMs for it.
Well, I thought I may be able to do something about that.
First off, I've not asked anyone about permissions to port their ROM yet.
So, what got me interested in porting a ROM for the Note 8 was a tutorial on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284985
As the Note 8.0 and the 10.1n hardware looks mostly the same ( Both have an Exynos 4412, the 10.1 has Rev 1.1 and the Note 8 has Rev 2.0, they share a Mali-400 GPU, the resolution is the same as is the soundchip. )
A problem could be the lack of HW-Buttons on the Note 10.1...
So, xdaDevs, following the tutorial on the site I linked to above, how likely will I succeed? How likely will I brick my device if I have made a Nandroid backup on TWRP?
Is there anything I haven't considered?
someone's ported the galax Y 8rom to the gn2 so I'd suspect the 101 to the 8 should be doable.
Hello,
I'm getting rid of my old Nokia n900 and looking into the world of Android devices.
Right now I'm in between Note 2 and Note 3. Regarding KNOX, eFUSE and rooting, which Note should I chose over the other one and why?
Is the Note 2 software-wise on the same level as the Note 3? With custom ROM's it seems to be but that would trigger eFUSE/KNOX and void the guarantee?
Thanks a lot!
Note 2 is better ....Note 3 might have extra features bt u can get them on note 2 by rooting.
Note 2 right now has gr8 on price
And also note 3 is unstable..

i really dont know which place u belong to but i will be referring to india for the time being..
Comparing the phones is not actually the right thing..
Those who have a NOTE 2 dont find it WORTH upgrading to a Note 3..!!
Having said this.. Note 2 costs 26-28 k depending on the place you are located in india..!
Note 3 costs 44-47 K again depending on state to state..!
so the difference is pretty huge..!
Note 2 is getting kitkat which is the latest android version for the time being.. But it is not getting any of the Note 3 features..!
And as far as my eperience goes with samsung KK 4.4.2 will be the last update for Note 2
Note 3 has already got kitkat official now..!
So u will be rooting a Note 2 triggering knox or voding warranty ( if it has 4.3 Out of the box) else u wont trigger knox and find a way around like we all have done here..!
and u will flash Note 3 pack to have a note 3 feel..!
So my take is If u can afford (i could not) Go for a Note 3 directly and stick to it for some time.. For me Note 3 is the only touchwiz phone i have not seen lagging till date..!!
Cheers..!

Thanks for your replies! As I don't own either of them it won't be an upgrade but a start from scratch.
I've found an unused Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile branding for € 250. I guess that's a bargain.
A new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 LTE will be € 329 cheapest from a shop, used ones are around € 260 on Ebay.
Looking forward to get that Note 3 - I was looking for a black one and this is white but no questioning for the price.
I think it is a good deal.................. go ahead

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 !

Hi, I'm from the Philippines and I'm new here.
I just wanna ask if there's any way I could update my Note 2 SHV-E250S to any software higher than Kitkat 4.4.2.
Basically I just want it to have a different look and feel. Kitkat's UI is getting kinda old for me. I've even found some tutorials online where they can give my Note 2 a "Lollipop look" even though it's still Kitkat. Sadly these tutorials mostly end up with corrupt/password-protected files and bad links.
I also learned I can covert it to GT N7105 first and THEN update it to a higher Android OS, but again I couldn't find a reliable, working solution. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Much appreciated.

Hello everyone... currently I have a Moto G first gen.. that doesn't suits my need anymore, so i guess i'll be buying a zenphone 2 by the end of this week, but I have a few questions, and would really like if someone can clear some stuff out
Zenphone 2, 4GB ram, 16GB rom, Intel 4x 2,3Ghz
1 Is it possible to cast it's screen to some TV? hdmi, USB tv out, or even miracast or DLNA?
2 Is it easy to root the phone? will lost data? can unroot? need to unlock bootloader? will the warranty be void if so?
3 I've heard the update is late, but will it get android 6.0? and 7.0?
4 Intel leaving the atom mobile market, will turn into a problem for owners of Zenfone2
5 Are the bloats a serious problem? hard to remove / affects performance?
6 How does it stand againt of some phones of the same price? maybe moto X 2014, Xperia Z1, LG G3,moto G4 plus?
7 Can I run some linux on it, or even windows reasonably? (was able to boot winXP on moto G with Qemu, but it was so slow, that turned to be useless, but linux was kinda better)
8 Is there some real difference beetween 4x1.8Ghz and 4x2.3Ghz?
9 Can i expect some not oficial android 8? will it have enough performance for it (I understand it's a guess)
10 How long does the battery last with screen on and wifi? (with moto G a can get something beetween 3H40m ~ 5H according to use and brightness, in other words, 2 netflix movies with a single chage)
and here's the last one, thanks for reading
11 Do you like it's indoor/night/artificial light photos?
I undertand it's a lot of questions, no need to answer what you are not confident about, but please use the numbers to make it easier to read and understand
Thank you very much for any help
