There is an entire forum area dedicated to the N4, why not ask there instead...

I'd say Note 2, removable battery, bigger screen, SD CARD, removable back, S PEN.

There is a thread in the general s3 forum about this. No need for insults.

Well the Nexus 4 and the GN2 are two different types of phones I thought. Plus it depends what you're looking for.

Something with pure power....speed and lots of roms

Purchased a Note 2 off Craigslist... need to Rom it but have questions

The phone has superuser on it already. I downloaded ROM manager to check the recovery and it has CWM and TWRP. Is it safe to install custom roms or is there other steps that I need to take? The baseband is vraljb.... Android version 4.1.1
Thank you in advance.

Have you booted into recovery at all?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
If you can boot into the custom recovery, you can flash a custom rom.
Great idea I will try that. Thats why you guys are the best.

I did a trade for my iphone 5 for the note 2.
Seems like an even trade. Although I feel like the iphone has a better resale.

Must be a clean ESN if you were able to activate it.

If you do an insurance job and get another phone. They don't ban your original for weeks. So he could activate it. But it's still on a list to be banned.

If its legit, then you got a killer deal. The cheapest GN2 that I've seen was $350 but it had a cracked screen. I see some for $200-250, but I am sure those are scams. The next time you buy a Verizon phone, call *611 and verify the ESN status before handing over money or trading phones. A legit seller will not mind at all.

Yes you posted in the right place. And from what i have seen thus far the answer to your question is no. I pay more attention to the AOSP roms though so there very well may be.
Its really early to be asking that seeing as how everything for the S4 is just kicking off. if you really want to make sure go to the Verizon Note 2 Android Development forum and look at the TW roms changelogs and see if any of them have anything from the S4 in the changelogs. Last time I looked there wasnt anything but that may have changed.

Development seems slow

Is it me or does development seem kind of slow for this device? I figured by now we would have one or two roms out alrewdy

I guess you missed the vote. We all decided we liked it better stock with TW. You should have voted dude. :silly:
Most important thing is official bootloader unlock. Then development will get crazy.

Port ubuntu touch from n7100 to i605

Is there any way to port Ubuntu touch developer preview to Verizon i605. I seen it was on the n7100. I would like to try it , but I have no clue how to port or make roms. Any help would be well appreciated.
Have you seen this - - > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
I was playing around with porting Touch, but got side tracked with some fun with RootBox.

Its not that simple. You can either install linux and do the work yourself or hope someone else does it.

Was hoping lol. I seen the n7100 has it. Didnt think it would be that hard but it is. Ill just wait.

Well, you could always backup your device and install the n7100 version. See of it will boot. If it does or doesn't, with a backup, no harm no foul.

You'll probably mainly need a kernel for the lte hardware in the 7105/every American model.

I can make a build if I was given a week, college life and crap will probably get in the way. If you have any spare computers, you can put them to use and run Ubuntu on them. Don't install the international version, too many different parts. Try looking through at&t/tmobile/sprint forums seeing how radios won't matter at all.

Best Kernel?

I'm in the process of rooting my One then I plan on going with with the stock android edition. I'd like to know which kernel I should flash. There seems to have been a lot of development for the One and I'm finding it hard to catch up. I've heard there are some kernels which let you charge the phone a little faster and to me that would be a nice benefit to have. I've heard it could wear your battery down a little faster however I don't plan on having it long enough for that to be an issue. Any tips would be great!
Thanks,
Duck
The one you're referring to as charging your phone faster is the one I'm using (thoravukk). They are all pretty good just make sure you use the one that is made for the ROM you choose to flash.

Sorry but no, you don't have to be a moderator to follow the rules.
Why is that so hard for people to understand? The moderators are a minority compared to users and things would go much smoother if people would follow the rules to begin with.

Obviously the mods aren't to concerned with the thread, or they would have shut it down. The only one complaining is you. Anytime you see some type of crime happening in the street, do you do a citizens arrest? I don't think so
