Galaxy S WiFi/Player 5.0
OK guys and gurls here it goes
Basically I have enjoyed my time with this community and have learnt a hell of a lot to do with ROM development and have therefore used this knowledge to create my own ROM for the Galaxy s WiFi 5.0, ICS-Crumble which I am humble has been downloaded alot of times and has received great support so a HUGE thanks there. It has also allowed me to port ROMs like Hydr0g3n and others.
There comes a time when we move on lol and unfortunately that time has come. Basically I don't really want to go into great detail on why ive sold the device but im heading to University in Sep and I have to pay £400 deposit now and then £9000 a year myself so i really need the money lol
So yea thats me saying im stopping development on my ROMs but im not leaving XDA completely (im still active on the Galaxy s2) . So thanks guys and hopefully i have contributed to this great device.
Peace out
Rueben
Oh....... Good bye I think You are good mate

Rueben,
School is the only "good" way to freedom and that's all what we need.
Do your best.
Thanks again for your Roms tweaks.
Bye
Good luck with your degree and I understand that uni is expensive (I've been going to open days recently and its £9000 a year + living fees ) . I may also stop developing for the SGP as I'm getting a nexus 7. However I don't really want to abandon this device so I will try my best to continue devving here

Same with me, I will be receiving my HTC one s next week so I will probably be helping out with the development community over there. I won't abandon the galaxy player entirely, but most of my time and efforts will be spent over in the one s forums.
Thanks everyone for support! Too bad these galaxy players were never very popular with developers..

Wow this is a real consternation. Thanks people for all your support here . I think I will continue to be there until I get my nexus 7 too (just need the money).
Wow, sounds like the galaxy player scene is breaking up :sniff:
Well, I can't blame you guys; infact, I would switch to the nexus 7 if I could convince my parents to let me get one, lol!

That's a bad thing indeed that no devs can't help us to get at least a barebone ICS.
I know this is off topic but we were talking about nexus 7 so.. I would like to know if the nexus 7 sold at BH have the 25$ credit for play store. (I don't want to pay abusive PST from play store):

The only reason my parents are letting me get one is that my birthday is in a few weeks so google launched it at the perfect time

The only difference between play store orders and orders from retailers is the shipping date. Everything else is the same (credit, movie, magazine etc...)

I live in the UK and I can live with 16GB of space. I'm not abandoning the player but it will be much easier to develop for as it gets updates straight from Google.

Guess who's getting a nexus 7 as well.... It sounds like this community is about to completely fall apart . I will continue development for the 4.0, that is until school starts, then I will probanly be nexus only, if I start devving for it. I guess we all need to work really hard the next few weeks to get ics working before the nexus takes us away .
WOW i seemed to have started a Trend lol
Wow, haha, if this keeps up the entire galaxy player community will be found in the nexus 7 forums, lol!

I've been reading through the specs for the Nexus 7 and the SGP 5.0 has slightly better specs in some areas.
The Nexus 7 only has b/g/n wifi but SGP has a/g/b/n so better wifi connectivity (faster, less interference on SGP)
SGP has a rear camera although it doesn't work on any ICS roms
The SGP has physical buttons (I don't like on-screen buttons so much)
The SGP has a micro-SD card slot
The SGP comes with an unlocked bootloader (Nexus bootloaders are easy to unlock with a fastboot command but it wipes data and can prevent ota updates)
However, the Nexus 7 is still an amazing device and I'm sorry for the slightly off topic post
No dude, don't stop yourself from getting a nexus 7 because of us! Face it; galaxy player hardware is 3 generations old, and with amazing devices like the nexus 7 coming out, the life of it is over. I don't think many people will choose a single core gingerbread device over a quad core jb device, so the galaxy player is finished, mostly. It was an epic device, and if Samsung had marketed it right, could have been a huge hit. To late, so time to move on. Even if I do get a nexus 7, I will probably keep up on my galaxy player, for sentimental purposes, lol!

S3 already has 9,000,000 pre-orders! Maybe this is the real iphone killer after all. Wonder if the success of this device will carry over to the next version of the Note? I am happy for Samsung cause they make great devices. My old Samsung Epix just recently stopped working after 4 years. Hope my Note makes it 4 years. I bet the Note will get 10,000,000 pre-orders.

I just don't get why people are asking for a new Note already. This note isn't even 6 months old and people want a new one? The note probably won't ever outsell smaller phones because the market for this size phone is small. As for phones being an Iphone killer, I'm tired of that statement too.

Why do u want to shell out more money i think its stupid to have new version of a phone every 6-9 months. . .

My phones tend to last me at least a year and a half or 2 before I get bored or see the newest shiny thing.

Nobody is crying here. Quite the opposite...I love my Note. I paid more for this phone than I did my TV. If your television had a bad screen when you bought it then it is ok because it isn't a movie theatre. Right? Other manufacturers don't have this issue and the leader of the cell market shouldn't either.
Does the S3 have this issue? If it doesn't then that means it is possible that the Note 2 might not. This is a media consumption device. The screen isnt this big just so you can make phone calls.
It also means the Note 2 might have a better processor which supposedly saves energy.
I would like to see the technology of the S3 incorporated into the next Note because I prefer the size of the Note.

It doesn't hurt to try they just don't want people using it since they won't support it. Basically trials and error .

I think adobe is stupid for not supporting it anymore. Yes, html5 may be the future, but it's not the present. Chrome works for most stuff on my phone, but almost any video that I come across on any tech site or anything else I still find myself copying the link to the stock browser to watch it. It's just stupid when so much of the web still relies on flash. I have no problem with it being phased out, but they're crippling mobile browsing by not supporting mobile anymore. As soon as the next update for desktop flash comes, mobile browsing will suck until html5 is the universal standard, which it currently is nowhere near being. At least with tab syncing between mobile and desktop chrome I'll be able to find anything I need easily on my laptop, but it's still going to be a hassle. Stupid adobe, just stupid.
Back on topic, I'm excited for JB to come to the Note. I'm highly tempted to shell out 350 for a gsm gnex, but I'm sure our awesome devs will have something awesome soon enough. Until then, I'm fully satisfied with what we have already...couldn't ask for more.

Yeah, about the only thing holding me back from buying the gnex is how awesome the note is, and the fact it's likely the next nexus will be out within a year, and my note is definitely more than good enough to tide me over. I just hope Samsung wins the bid for the next one. If they do, I'll be buying the next nexus for sure as well as the note 2. What we really need is the nexus note though, I would throw my wallet and my left nut along with a contact for my firstborn child at google/Samsung for that =]. I just can't quite justify spending 350 on software, with lesser hardware, that we will eventually see for free. If not sooner rather than later.

Alright guys, I recently picked up a new Galaxy S III with a nice new 64 GB microSD card. After about a week of using it, I began to not like it anymore. And the reason why I stopped liking it, is because I thought about purchasing a Nexus 7. And I thought in my head, like many Android devices, it would be fragmented from my Galaxy S III. Yeah, I could've put Jelly Bean on it. But I didn't want to. I bought the Galaxy S III specifically for NatureUX. I sold my Galaxy Nexus and my iPhone 4S so I could get this phone and then have some extra cash.
Now, I have a brand-new Galaxy S III just sitting in its box waiting to be returned to Amazon, and no smart phone. So I'm using my Nokia N95, which I'm kinda loving all over again. But I look over at my little box, and open it up and mess with the Galaxy S III and wonder if I'm making the right choice. There's a new iPhone on the horizon... There's even possibly a new Nexus device on the horizon. I don't know if I should just stick to my N95, and wait for something newer. I know the S III is NOT a bad choice at all. It's relatively future-proof and what not...
I would appreciate it if some of you weighed in on this, because I am prepared to send it back Monday morning. Let me know what you think, thank you.
yes, you are kinda crazy.
but old nokias are good so you can keep using it and later in the future remove the dust from your gs3

What a dumb, self-serving thread. There will always be better phones coming down the pipeline. You want us to beg you to keep the S3 or something?
I'll tell you one thing that I've learned.
You can't keep thinking about future devices.
Every 6 months a new (maybe better) device is released.
If you keep thinking about the future, you'll NEVER buy any device, because you are always looking ahead.
Just stay with the best TODAY, and in the future, if there's a new device that you like, you buy it.
There's always people to buy your previous device in the future if you want to sell it.
Since you already packed it nicely, so just send it home

No one can really make a decision for you I'd wait to see what the iPhone 5/Next Nexus bring then make your decision.
I would never consider selling a smart phone for a tablet... If it means no more smartphone (for the record I have a s3 and a n7).

Hi, I was hoping for a little help with my decision. I am up for an upgrade this coming Monday and it works out that I can get an original Galaxy Note for $50 on contract. I can also get the Gs3 for the same price, but I love the size of the Note. So basically is there a lot of development for the Note? Is everyone here happy with getting the Note and would they keep their Note over a Gs3?

My reasons for choosing the note over sg3:
Big screen (don't think I could go back at this point)
S pen
This may be weird, but I don't like the button on the front screen of the sg3.
Hardware is fine, even though sg3 is a little bit nicer.
The Rom community for the note is very active.
Either way, you're getting a badass phone

Call me old fashioned .... but I like a device with a track record ....and this device has one.
I'd buy it again in a second ...g

I had the same decision and jumped on the Note. It's impossible to beat that price and I don't think the Note 2 will be worth $150 more than the Note 1. I'm also betting that most of the additional Note 2 functionality will find its way into the Note 1. I've gone back and forth between the Collective ROM and the OnlyOne which I understand isn't being worked on anymore. It gave me S-Voice and other SG3 functionality that I can't remember right now. Like you, I've got the TP running the latest CM9 nightly and the Inspire 4G running the latest Jelly Time. The Note is far and away my favorite. The screen is amazing.
Would you happen to know if CM10 runs well on it as well? I really appreciate all of the feedback and advice. I usually leave my phones stock for a month or do, then its flashing time! So I'm hoping the Note had a lot of choices when it comes to custom ROMs.

I've been running PA (found in the original dev section) and it's great, a couple of small issues but the phone is soo smooth. Also there's been an announcement from Samsung that says they'll be putting out an official JB ROM. Personally I love the Note and I'm still not sold on the next one. If you want to get an awesome price, wait for a couple of weeks before the Note 2 is released, you should be able to get it for next to nothing.
As it stands now I can get it for $50, brand new on contract. Thats a great deal I think.

Just my two cents i have owned both the GS3 and the Note and so far i think the note blows away the GS3 it is nice and as quick as my GS3 was.
The thing is huge but after a couple days you become used to it and will not notice its size also the screen is beautiful processor seems solid battery life is good and i pound on my battery streaming surfing the web and playing music and i get a solid 5 hours and thats constant use if i leave it alone it will go the whole day which i couldnt with the GS3
Sound quality for the speaker is so-so but ive come to expect this from phones now when i plug my headphones in the sound is crystal and sharp
Also running CM10 some weird issues but nothing that is a deal breaker all in al i say you cant go wrong
I'll probably hold out on CM10 if JB is coming soon, but thanks for the help. You guys are all making my decision so much easier!

Oh, one more thing. I have heard people saying that the stylus scratches their screen. Is there any truth to this?

I have had mine since march 4. Never had a screen protector on it and use the pen daily. No scratches at all.

I'm asking for your opinion on the device with Stock Android Experience.
Not asking if I should buy it or not.
They would have to use lower spec parts to fit with the Nexus Line prices.
Edit: Nvm its offering at $650. WOW!

I like it I hope Samsung and other manufacture's start to offer it. I'd love the next Samsung or htc device I by to be pure android. No touchwiz or sense sounds great

I agree. It would be really nice to finally see these great phones running aosp without the need for a custom rom.
Hopefully, this one is going to come to Canada eventually...
Frankly I think it is good that they are doing this but I would rather have a nexus 5.
I'm hoping for nexus 4 prices with
2.3GHz processor
2+GB RAM
5.3 inch FHD Screen
32GB storage
Metal build
Key lime pie
Multi window
Then and only then will i replace my nexus 4. Dont really care about fhd though and the s4 is no faster than my OCed nexus 4
It will be incredible if google goes with the Exynos 5 Octa
Will this come with other features from the original s4?? Not the touch wiz but other stuff

That's a good question. There isn't much at this moment but I hope it does.

I like the idea, but not the price (and based on the audience reaction...neither did they). I mean you can get an unlocked HTC One for around $560ish. From there, one could root/ROM it and be good to go. Now if the price drops to say $500 or less, I'd be willing to shell out the cash. Which I hope the price point will change. This is a great start to offering a bloat free device, without having to root/ROM it. This would be great if other manufacturers followed suit.
Good move nonetheless!
A true Nexus Samsung phone would be the only way I'd buy another Samsung phone. Getting rid of Touchwiz is easy, but I just can't deal with the lagging of releasing updates.
Boo... too expensive, too mainstream, to dang normal. Optimus g pro version would be nice that's bad ass or version of Sony z... both would be better all around and could be at $500 Google price. I was so disappointed! I just returned my nexus 4 thinking they were going to release something better. I'll stick with my note!!
