[Q] Different Processors ? Different ROMS ? Developer Support ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
The news is out that most probably, Samsung Galaxy S IV coming with two SoC variants, Snapdragon 600 and Exynos 5.
My question is that suppose at some places Snapdragon 600 ( i.e for LTE ) is launched and at some Exynos 5 Octa, does it divide the developer community as then they have to build 2 ROMs for their Custom ROMs ?
Will the same ROM run on both variants or is it otherwise ? How tricky it is to run the same build on both ?
Thanks
Shubham

They will need to be built for each chip. They are not cross compatible. As for the developers. Many have already stated they will not get any Samsung device with the exynos chip. So you will see more go for the qualcom device.

[Q] Support for MediaTek devices??mtk6589...

let me start by saying that MTK devices have the least custom roms compared to other chipsets..even cyanogenmod is still not available for them except some unstable ports here and there..i think it is a kernel issue but am not a developer so my question is simple...Will there be support for Mediatek devices like the new quad core mtk6589 that is almost as powerful as the tegra 3..

Wondering if the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 will get the Cyanogenmod 13?

Just as the title says . I dont mind the waiting to be honest but will it happen? I mean they have the qualcom variant so I hope they will bring out one for our note 3
I am there with you brother !
The phone is pretty awesome and I CM wil be available soon . Ever thought about making the ROM yourself?
count me in. It would be just super great to have CM on the Redmi Note 3!!!
Count me in on wishing this was available....

Any version of Cyanogenmod for the Redmi Note 3 would be great. Very disappointed in this phone. The reviews were - are - very complimentary, the hardware specs are really good, but for beyond-China buyers the software problems are a deal-breaker. The reviews didn't mention the threat of a locked bootloader...

I've applied for bootloader unlock, but no word back from Xiaomi. Wish now I'd paid extra $100 for a ZUK Z1, Cyanogenmod out of the box.
There are multiple Custom Roms for the Redmi Note 3 available in the official MIUI forum.
All 5.1.1 Custom Roms:
CM 12.1:http://en.miui.com/thread-210418-1-1.html
MoKee: http://en.miui.com/thread-215319-1-1.html

Resurrection Remix: http://en.miui.com/thread-215699-1-1.html
Flyme OS:http://en.miui.com/thread-213952-1-1.html
All 5.0.2 Custom Roms:
AOSP:http://en.miui.com/thread-210071-1-1.html
SphinX (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-207019-1-1.html
DEV Global Rom (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-214146-1-1.html
But because all the non Stock Roms are based on Redmi Note 2 Roms, the fingerprint sensor isn't working and 4G is only working on SIM slot 1. On SIM slot 2 only 2G is working.
With the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 model being available, im guessing getting CM13 running onto that will be a easier task?
What rom can supporting all sensor for Redmi Note 2?

Runnig any version of cyanogenmod will be a easier task, because Snapdragon processors are officially supported by the cyanogen team and MediaTek processors are not.

That is not necessarily true. Android One devices are supported - they are mediatek but their source code is released as they are google supported. So its more to do with source code than anything else.

Yeah you're right but I think in this case it will be a easier task because as I know MediaTek didn't published the kernel source code for the normal Redmi Note 3 (not sure). So creating/porting cm for Redmi Note 3 Pro will be easier because Qualcom publishes many of their kernel source codes.

Question Regarding NOTE 3

How to define the mediatek version and qualcomm version ?? be specific
Planned to buy the Qualcomm one
Is their any screen protected their?
Where is the kernel source link of qualcomm version ?
1. What do you mean by "define"
2. ????

Relevant part is the processor.
The Redmi Note 3 aka Mediatek aka Hennessy version features a Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10.
The Redmi Note 3 Pro aka Qualcomm aka SnapDragon aka Kenzo version features a Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650.
There's no special gadgets like a case or screen protector coming with the Note 3.
On a side note: Your title is really bad for search engines, since it's way too broad. Try to think of something better next time, to help others, who have the same questions, find your thread. e.g. "[Q] Differences in versions, delivery content & Kernel source"

Cyanogenmod 12.1 for Galaxy Tab 3 T211

Hello everyone, good night. I have two devices Galaxy tab 3 T211 and Moto E2 4G. I try to build CM12.1, but I don't get success for one reason, my laptop don't Support 64 bits OS, the socket is 478.
I need help to build it to see many people happy with the OS upgrade for Tab 3 T211, the device have source code, but the hardware is very different, the CPU is PXA986 Dual Core 1,2GHZ and GPU is GC Vivante 1000 (Dual GPU), it seem capable to run many games with the tegra extension and Mali extension, Adreno and powervr get graphics error or glitch.
So any dev here have experience with cyanogenmod with many devices, please I will aprecciatte your help and many users will too.
Gr8nole made CM11, but He stopped the work with this device.
Thanks

Why Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Mediatek) is neglected?

While Snapdragon has CM14, Mediatek has only CM12.1. Why Redmi Note 3 (Mediatek) is left behind?
Well, MediaTek is known of very bad in terms of custom developing. They just rarely releases source code.
So Xiaomi also didn't release source code for hennessy yet. And I'm 100% sure they won't do it. Without that it's hard to make stable custom ROM, because devs can't build custom kernel.
Also there are many more people who have SD than MTK and more people=better community=more custom developing
as said by kubap, Mediatek and Nvidia devices (except that nexus 7) won't get their source code released so developers can't build any stable ROM from source, that's why you get ported or no roms.
And MTK Redmis are banned in India right now. Whole India has only Snapdragon RN3. Snapdragon edition is the most popular all over the world. So the developers are mainly from China.
