Hello. I will soon be leaving sprint for verizon and was wondering if I should get the galaxy nexus or the galaxy s 3. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!
Of course go for the s3 the galaxy nexus is nowhere near the s3 in hardware specs and camera and the galaxy nexus only excels in software and in support it uses vanilla android and it already has jellybean but u are a member at xda and u can always search for guides to flash stock vanilla android on s3 i say go for s3

Which would be better for frequently flashing roms and which would head further in development of roms? I understand the galaxy s 3 has a locked bootloader, but will that stop people from developing? Also, when the galaxy s 4 comes out, will EVERYONE stop on the s 3 and go straight for the s 4? I feel like the nexus would keep going. One more thing, what's vanilla android?

How long before you leave? I would try to wait until the next nexus comes out (this is when I plan on getting a new phone).
Google realeases android and every company like htc samsung motorola and sony put their own skins on then like htc has htc sense , samsung has touchwiz , sony has timescape ! The stock vanilla android doesnt have any skin its the original android and the original android is always faster . As for developing and roms i would say go for the galaxy nexus cz its google's flagship device and will always be supported , the galaxy s3 will be supported too and it has more processing power the quad core exynos is the fastest cpu on android phones and the overclocked edition of mali 400 is so fast , but if u are interested in support and roms go for nexus ! What the heck they even ported CM10 jellybean to the outdated nexus one Hit the thanks button if i helped and let me know ur choice

I'm probably eaving within a few months. If the next nexus is out when I switch, I will get that. If it isn't, then I will most likely get the galaxy nexus. Thanks!:good:
Sorry for the lame post, ie can you guys answer my personal question, but i am seriously considering getting the Note 2 when it comes out here in Canada. Thought i would ask you original Note users about custom ROM usability as it is a concern to me.
I am a galaxy nexus user and was hoping to get the next nexus, but since it is being made by LG i have my reservations. I also find myself considering a tablet, but then have to ask myself what i would do on a tablet that i don't already do on my phone, except of course on a larger scale. Which brings me into Phablet territory.
Coming from the nexus, and being the type of Android user who likes the vanilla OS, my concerns revolve around customization. Given that the S Pen functionality is so deeply implemented into the OS does this result in a lesser experience if a custom ROM is flashed? Say you choose to flash one of the new CM10 nightlies. Is it CM10 just like it is on all other phones/tablets, or does it retain the "stuff" that makes the Note what it is....unique?
Any feedback is appreciated, flaming not so much

I just got my note 2 weeks ago. I came from the incredible 2. I had cm 7, 9, and 10 on it. One of the first roms i flashed on my gnote was cm. To me i didn't notice alot of difference. I didn't keep it on long because i wanted the use of the pen. I did find a nice Rom with good features in a stock Rom (black star). Samsung is supposed to release jb for the gnote.so once that happens there will be more options. After that gnote 3 will be out and key lime pie

I was really wondering the same thing, I'm considering the note 2 but will hold off if the s pen functions can't be applied to custom roms. From reading around the forums it looks like the functions probably won't be able to be transferred to aosp roms. I think they're making progress on the note 1, but not all aosp roms have functionality and they still don't have full functionality. It looks like touchwiz roms are fine though, but then again I'm not a note user.
I suppose it would be a lot of extra work for the developer(s) who work on the ROM to integrate such functionality into a ROM for just one device. I'll have to wait and see it when it comes out. Since the Note 2 well be running JB out of the box, a simple root and removal of bloatwear might be all that is needed. I've def become a fan of Samsungs products since the nexus s though. I also have to admit that the look and overall specs of the LG Nexus 4 are pretty underwhelming. I might have to do something crazy, like wait for something else to come along :-S HTCs new 5" phone with 1080p screen might be the sweet spot for me as long as it has good development support. Can't beat HTCs build quality. My hopes for the Note 2 remain high though as i haven't read a negative review yet.

Yeah same here, for me its between the note 2 and the htc 1080p phone. There are some aosp roms with s pen support on the note 1 and it looks like the note 2 will become very popular so there's a good chance cm10 and other roms may have s pen support. The only thing that's keeping me from the note 2 is that samsung isn't releasing as much driver and chip info so developers may not want to or be able to do as much. In the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTRKL5E9Iak and in a few other threads, its said that cyanogenmod won't officially support the note 2 because of that.
I think the problem is that Samsung has not released the source to the pen but i am not 100% sure.

Makes me sad. Although, what really makes me sad is that i have to carefully weigh the decision of which phone to purchase based on how well it will be supported by private developer community. Weird isn't it? I buy a phone, and change it as soon as i take it out of the box. LG Nexus is sounding better now.

looks like if Samsung Note owners want to retain the full functionality of their S Pens, they must stick to stock roms

Hi, I just flash with Omega V9.1 custom rom + RedHill V1.0 kernel + Philz CWM 3.81 recovery on my Note 2 N7100.
Run smoothly with S Pen (auto pop up), multi-windows, swap ext2SD function.. SUPER SMOOTH...:good:
I'm using my spen without any problems on CM10. Gnote and memo beta work better than the Samsung spen app. The only thing missing are the spen genstures and shortcut for screen capture which I never used and there are dozens of screenshot apps.
Why do people act like the spen does not work outside stock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The SPen works fine on custom roms, it's the button features that are missing from (moat) 207 custom roms. Personally I prefer the original functionality that the SPen exhibits in touch wiz, so I'm running a stock(ish) rom.
So to answer your question, wait what was your question again?

Ok now that I've re-read your op my advice would be to get the note 2 over the lg nexus. Just look at the hardware specs, and you'll really enjoy the extra square footage once you get to know it.

Hello,
I am using slim customr rom, can anybody post a working spen app.
thanks, I will appreciate it
I know of an 7000 has ROM that does multi windows.
[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981609"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981609[/URL]
SInce I am not a programmer, can someone 'splain in simpleman words why that GN One phone can have a ROM that does multi-window and our phone can't?
Is there a way to convert that ROM to an i717 ROM and retain that capacity?
TIA
The answer to your question about why the N7000 Note has the multi window update, but the I717 Note does not, that it's because the first gets software directly from Samsung, while the second has to have the software from Samsung tested by the carriers first. The phones have different processors and internal components, so software from one can't be typically ported to another all that easily, especially if it something low level, like multi window framework.

it's possible since I have a ported multiwindow rom on my bell s3, we just don't have many devs left especially to tackle a large project like that
What's the deal, nobody with the i605 interested in S4 apks? Literally no S4 dumps that will work with Verizon. Currently, I have the S4 S-Voice on my i605. Nothing else seems to work. What I have seen is labelled Deox only, available from the AT&T forum.
Specifically, I want the S4 SamsungIME keyboard.

4.2.2 vs 4.2.1 could be a issue you think? Maybe that's why no one has dumped them...

I am not expecting S4 Eye Gestures and the Samsung IME is available to S3 users who are not 4.2.2. smarty pants.

The keyboard, weather, Samsung apps, etc. Have all been made available in numerous threads, both for the s3 and note2. They have been around for a while. My theme has the s4 keyboard and weather in it. The reason that the apks haven't been truly ported is because they rely heavily on the framework, which is 4.2. Until we have a 4.2 base for the note we won't be able to truly port the apks.

Not just a 4.2 framework but a 4.2 or higher framework on a touchwiz platform to get things like animated s4 weather app or s4 camera with drama shot so on and so forth
I got my S4 SamsungIME keyboard. Not the real deal but it looks like the real deal. Thank you Trans Nebula http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413595

I have noticed something lately, it seems like not that many people are on the note 3 forums for sprint. Is it because it's sprint, the price of the phone or because people just don't want to mess with the phone? What do you guys think?
The themes/apps section the most views are on my thread (spen sound pack) and it has been downloaded over 2000 times from kevinrocksman.com and goo.im put together
Personally I know quite a few people who are just still locked down for one more year in contract..also I see a ton of people with the S4 who love the N3 but didn't want to wait.

Well, I use mostly stock, rooted rom because, well, unlike some previous devices, it's quite "good enough" that other than removing a bit of crap, I'm happy with the rest of it.
I didn't use your sound pack, as cool as it seems because I turn off spen sounds.
And honestly, I've not had many issues to speak of, so since I don't have much to say, I don't post much.
It really is the best device I've ever had in stock form.
I spend most of my time on the general Note 3 forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3
I just pop my head in here occasionally to look for Sprint specific updates.
I've thought the same thing before. The phone is a niche style phone on the third largest carrier. I'm glad the community we do have is like family and constantly helping each other out.
Maybe after the holidays and tax season everyone will be making the switch. The phone is awesome and all.

I've got a Note 2 and I pop in here and just watch the arguing about if the Note 3 has tri band or not lol. Then I check if AOSP has been released. Still thinking if I should get the Note 3 or not. I wonder if Sprint will release a tri-band version like they did with the S4.
I waited til price drop. Bestbuy has them $149 if you add a line so yeaterday i went down grabbed a note 3 and swapped it to my current line. Called sprint canceled the new line and will sell my lg g2 to pay the etf

The Kernel I use is from those forums:
[kernel][tw] leanKernel: minimalistic kernel
and these mods can be found over in the generic Note 3 forums as well:
[APP] [v2] PEN Window Manager - Easily Enable Apps for PEN Window
[APP] MultiWindow PLUS - Enable HIDDEN Multiwindow Features - MUST HAVE excellent mod
[APP] MULTIWINDOW Apps Manager - Easily Add More Apps to the Multiwindow Tray
Quite a lot seems to be cross-compatible, but even many of the things that aren't, the devs over there have made an effort to support as many of us as possible. So definitely show some support to those guys as well as the great devs that we have in this forum.
I think in another 40 days or so when i have an upgrade ill get it a sams club or somewhere its a bit cheaper the lack of hotspot hack on this g2 has me itching

I don't like the samsung ui overlay and LOVE stock 4.4 KitKat. I've been using a Moto X for a couple of days and I'm loving it!! If only the note 3 was a 1 device for all carriers like the nexus 5 so the same ROM would work for all carriers. I'm seriously thinking if selling my note 3 to buy a nexus 5 but the camera, screen and lack of sdcard slot really turn me down..
Please pardon my ignorance but Why isnt there a cm/aosp ROM for the note 3? Is it because Samsung has not provided the kernel source?

I only come here when I had a phone that needed to be modded. I dont dabble much so I appreciate all that people do here..
I have a note 3 and just plane love it.. unroooted and all... no issues.. just plane cool!!! still getting used to it... but eventually I will root it..
people say they want to remove the bloatware... I went in and clicked disable on the stuff I didnt want and I know it is still there.. but with the amount of ram I have in it.. I dont care..
so we have what.. 32gb of space.. and i added a 64gb micro sd class 10.. added it right in the store.. got someone to change their mind from an iphone cuz they didnt want to pay more $$$ for 64gb unit... hah...
anyway.. I got so much space free I havent seen a need to remove any apps...
also this is my first "Note" and I will ALWAYS own a note now...
i went from
Sprint Titan with custom rom> Galaxy S2 > Note 3 - so I dont have much experience on the android platform but I love this thing!!!!
I have flashed every android phone I had in the past, mainly because they needed it in order to function and perform properly. The note 3 is a beast out of box, therefore unless there's a super stable and awesome rom that catches my attention, I won't flash. I think more people went with the S4 imo as well.
