[Q] devolopment - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Is the gs3 gonna explode with roms and kernels soon? I'm holding off on buying the phone because of it!

Yeah I suppose you are right, but HTC has been going down lately, both in the Dev category and the stock market... HTC needs to get on their game otherwise they might be the next RIM
Im going Nexus, i know that for sure. Tired of these stupid android skins that make development so difficult for people.

Lol it's not really the skin, its the manufacturers not releasing the drivers the way Google does with the nexus devices.

Just because of hardware I would never go with Samsung...I just like HTC in that term... Don't matter how much they **** up!!

I'll be hanging on to my amaze for at least another year. there hasn't been anything out that is miles ahead of the amaze, so when I upgrade, I want it to be an upgrade, not just trying something else out and moving sideways. Now that everything has been released for the amaze, its only a matter of time until everybody gets what they want (AOSP, AOKP, CM9/10, sense4, etc)
^^^^^^^
right, there is nothing right now truly worth it. But, i f i could, it had to be the tegra 3 one x, but its way to expensive and i dont know its compatible for tmo

I haven't even paid mine off yet, I do monthly payments. I really don't have to but my other hobby of shooting guns kinda ties up my money, oh and those pesky bills keep coming back. I just paid those last month, ROFL

I had the tegra 3 one X, & you will only get EDGE speed on it, everything else works. It was ridiculously slow though so I switched.

Totally agreed to this one too. lol.
I personally think that my Amaze will still do the job till at least next year.... except, if i got tired with the crappy battery life and the random shutdown (switched between three batteries and still got the random shutdown).... If not for those two problems, I would never ever think of changing phone.... Plus, I don't wanna pay extra 200 bucks for a small hardware upgrade....
Guys remember we are getting the 1900 band as well. So I'm going to wait for that then get international phones. The choices are endless when we get that 1900.

We are, but when?

sold my hox for the note

wife has had the note since it first came out
gave her **** for a while but really must have been jealiously
can't wait to get my note - only thing that might be a downer is the screen resolution compared to my HOX but im sure will just take getting use to
You won't have any screen resolution issues ..
You'll be amazed how good the note looks, and you'll wonder why you waited so long.
And welcome too the note forums .....g
Good call slacker, now get in tge kitchen! Jk =P

can you still update these phones using kies? will be on straight talk so no OTA updates i assume
i just got a lumia 810 about a month ago and gave my wife the note thinking it wont be hard taking it back since all she has been doing is make fun of the size and not even wanting to hold it for more than a second. although i like windows phone 8 i have nothing but regrets. now my wife is being a ***** and wont ****ing give my note back. yea. i called her a *****. im pissed.
i know once people use a galaxy note for at least a couple days, they will get used to it. I was hoping she wouldnt be one of those people. **** it. I was wrong.

I got my note off eBay last month. I use straight talk and had to update with kies. No ota was available for me. Update to ICS went fine but I was my data didn't hallways work even with recommended ucle2 radio. So I tried a couple cm and cm10 based ROMs and data has been fine. I don't know why I had problems on stock but am glad is now working correctly.... plus it was a good excuse to play with the phone
Yup in the same boat, my baby mama did the same thing. I cant tell much of a difference between hox screen and note (a side from the obvious size lol) htc has been a big let down for 2012. Lets hope 2013 is better because HTC does imo make the best phones in terms of build quality not that it matters I am with my gs3 for another 18 months lol

Dna or note

I have the dna at the moment but i have 15 days to figure out if i want to keep it or trade it and i was looking at the note 2. I dont want to downgrade and from what i see these 2 are the only quads on vzw. Im only thinking the note cause from what i been reading support is going away with the dna and im stuck on 2.06 so i cant even root. So opinions plz? I just switched to vzw this last weekend so this is all new to me with there phones.

Why not the GS4?
If you are on the OTA I'd say get the Note but I tried the Note for two weeks and it was just too wide for me.

DNA won't get as much XDA support as the Note 2 by a long run. If you're a flashohalic you're going to trade anyways, but I personally would sit with the DNA ( even OTA ). Verizon will more than likely get us sense 5... eventually.
id do s4 but heard it isnt coming to vzw till end of may and yes i flash alot but hate to give up sense. Last time i didnt have a device that didnt have sense was with the moment.

Haha unfortunately it seems that way, but on the flip side, sense 4+ is already really polished. I only like sense 5 so much because checking the news and weather has never been quicker.

How bad was your new phone fever?

OK...I know...get a life. It's a phone. I told myself that many times, and it worked for the most part. But as much as I want to be a grownup about this, I was like a kid on Christmas Eve last night. I kept waking up to see if it was time to wake up and go get my phone. Who else is willing to be a fool and admit that you went crazy over this phone? (Note: I don't get a lot for myself. This is the one thing that I do each year, and it's exciting as hell!).
I'm still going crazy checking to see if my phone has been delivered yet while running around trying despretly to find a case. :banghead:

No trouble sleeping for me, but the anticipation is making my head tingle. Can't wait for the work day to end so I can go home and grab my N3.
by far this is the worse phone fever ever. lol. because i fell in love with the note 2. the last phone fever was probably the gnex. didnt go quite crazy for the s3 or s4.
patiently waiting for my best friend to arrive. lol.
I had phone fever for the Nexus and then I felt severely disappointed after getting it. This time the N3 beat my own expectations. And then got better with root!

Development?

Just a little curious as to where all the developers are? Not complaining at all and I haven't even rooted my phone but just wondering if this device is going anywhere in terms of custom roms. I know it still very early but would love to see some miui on this beast
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk 4
Just like you said, give devs time to acquire this device. Just because you got it the first week its out doesnt mean a bunch of devs can do the same.
This is why I wait before purchasing a phone for a couple months. Besides the note 2 is still a beast of a phone with plenty of roms to choose from.
Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
Note II development fizzled out a while ago but the Note 3 has only been out for a week so these guys need time to figure things out. I still love my Note II and I'm keeping it when I get my Note 3 (unless anyone wants to buy it for $300 bucks lol)
Cool, appreciate the feedback guys. Now I'll sit here quietly and twiddle my thumbs waiting for the explosion of roms to come

Still been fairly quiet... I'm wondering if a lot of the Sprint devs jumped ship to other carriers...

I'm willing to bet this phone gets plenty of roms/ect. Just some new things to learn about and problems to solve still.also waiting on more devs to get one. I bet by the end of the year it'll have a thriving development section. Also most of the stuff written for other note 3's should be fairly easy to port over.that and the fact that some of the devs are working on the htc one at the same time.

lbx_mobbin, the MIUI dev from the Note 2 told me he will be getting this phone in the near future and will be attempting to port MIUI for it.
