I'm amazed that this is the case. I just upgraded from the original galaxy note (sgh-i717) to the new galaxy note 3 (sm-n9005). The original note had a ton of development and there seems to be only a little bit for the note3... is this device just generally unpopular or something?

Knox messed it all up

knox be damned though, it doesn't technically effect anything but warranty status, which i always assume is just plain gone as soon as i've modified any portion of the firmware (rom flashing, rooting, etc.). shouldn't be any different except for the permanent lack of the actual knox functionality which i'll leave up to the individual to decide if missing that featureset is important to them or not, but I don't really see the actual knox functionality as being beneficial. - I do think it's bull**** that they don't allow SElinux containers without the knox flag being 0x0 though. it's linux / SElinux. it's free, open source, and shouldn't have anything to do with the hardware restrictions at all.
so yeah, flashing on anything with unlocked bootloader really isn't that different from flashing on previous notes, s3, etc. besides losing knox functionality. result: we need more developers!
further, there *SHOULD* be some way to rewrite the kernel so that it doesn't look for the knox flag in the first place (just by removing or disabling the few lines of code that checks for it). could be a simple matter of commenting out "if knox=0x1 then break" again, we need more devs.

Can you recommend an easy or at least convenient way to get started as a developer?

There is lots of documentation on the Android site of how to grab the Android developer tools and get your feet wet, but if you're interested if recommend checking out android development for dummies as s great primer. You can probably borrow it from your local public library.

Did you patch exynos exploit?

Im just curious who used the exploit fix and who hasnt. I havent done this and am not really concerned about malicious apps as I stick to legit apps. Should I be concerned enough to patch?

Honestly,
The exploit has not produced more than a handful of inquiries for our device over the past 8 months. and while I feel that it is at least important enough to mention, it's effects have been largely mute.
Also, our device does not contain this chipset. ours is the SGH-I717....And you have what device again ???
If you are getting software from trusted sources...(play store, XDA or a copy of playstore from friends etc.) you will likely never see an issue.
It seems when folks start pulling a curious piece of code from some way out source, they get burned. But if pulling normally, then your good.
You mentioned the SGH-I317 in your signature line. Is that a typo ? or do you in fact have an SGH-I317 ?
If yes, and there is such a device, I'm not familiar with it....and you would be in the wrong area, and in danger of flashing the wrong items. (instant brick)!!
Additionally, I use and really like "lookout mobile security premium", as my android security software. It has saved my flashing bad software twice now. and although the opinion surrounding the ability for the android platform to catch a virus is often misguided, I continue to use anti-virus software on every computer I own. In fact, my note actually uses 2 anti-virus software packages. ( call me crazy, but I've "NEVER" caught a virus on the android OS)
Stay with trusted code, and run an anti-virus app. And if stock, or using touchwiz roms, use an auto reset blocker app as well.
With that setup, you are really in pretty good shape....g
Our SGH-717 doesn't _have_ an Exynos chipset. Doesn't affect us.

[Q] Android 4.3 w/ TRIM support

Please forgive my ignorance in advance, I am very much a noob. I hope I am asking this in the right place.
It looks like Jelly Bean 4.3 will provide support for TRIM. Will this be a big deal for (continued) performance?
Is the TRIM support written into 4.3 code as a generic thing for all devices or will it be something that is hardware specific for each phone hardware? I guess my real question here is, will we have to wait on big red to release something with regard to G Note 2 (Verizon) for developers to have something to work with or will there likely be a port from another device?
Can anyone suggest a 4.3 ROM that is out for G Note 2 Verizon? Or maybe a good one that is in the works?
Thanks to all of the developers on this site, your work is appreciated by someone who tries a new ROM every week!!!
CWM already has an unofficial build out.

The TRIM support is only for Nexus devices. I have read that in every major article about 4.3.

Let me be the first to say welcome to the XDA forums. The information this community shares is phenomenal. You'll find answers to all your questions if you search through it. You can drop the "forgive my ignorance" tag because those were some good questions. I can now say I first heard of Android TRIM because of HBOMB-9000
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Here is also an app that will perform trim for you. Trim is very important in all nand type storage but only has to be done about 1 a month or a week depending how much you write and delete from the device (very important for crack flashers ).

Yes it is safe with the N2, I use it on my all the time. The older devices used a faulty chip that would brick the phone when certain things were done.

Android 4.4 May cause issues with g2 locked bootloader.

I was doing some reading and came across this interesting article. I hope our devs can UN dm-verify our stock kernel.
It may make rooting future devices much more difficult. I wonder what bug crawled up Google's butt.

So do we get the pitchforks out and commence advance on LGs social media, etc? To get them to churn out an official build, of course.
It's a great phone and I bought it knowing they might not be quick on the draw. Didn't consider that 4.4 might make all these ROMs all for naught. Still, I needed a faster phone and this certainly fits the bill!
At same time I did know that short of a GSM Nexus that I couldn't have guarantee of latest Android.
I'm stuck on Verizon until March 2013. I can then slap a GSM Sim in, hopefully. But I paid retail so it's not like I want to buy a new phone anytime soon.
Well. I have myself to blame. Again. But I am off contract in March and this will never happen to me again!

I am hopeful that when 4.4 comes out our devs will be able find a way for us to upgrade from 4.2 to a custom rooted 4.4 with out any issues. I do think that even stock unrooted this phone is fantastic it is carrier iq that is killing me. I'm sure att will put it in 4.4 also. Even though it was the carriers idea LG allows it to happen so I blame them also.

LG to my knowledge locks the bootloader on all its devices regardless of carrier.
This is troubling. The reason I chose the G2 was because it was the closest thing to the Nexus 5 on Verizon and had good developer support. Hopefully our fantastic developers will figure out a solution.
From what I understand, unless we upgrade to the official 4.4 LG ROM, there is no chance of this happening. Is that correct ?
I guess I'm selling the g2 for the nexus 5

That's my take on it. It is built into the 4.4 kernel. I wonder if this had anything to do with Google buying Motorola in August. Lock the phones way down for the carriers.

If there will not be a 4.4 rom within 3 months guess it is a dirty shot for those who bought it and want to buy it like me
Looks like I'll be rolling with Nexus devices from now on. I guess it was bound to happen though, I'm sure OEM's wanted another security layer because of bootloader work a rounds. On the upside though, there will be less threads on device release days asking for root and ROM ETA's!
Sent from my Nexus 7
the funny thing even though android are opensource, the phones and hardware are not. Thats where improvement is. If you create an abstraction layer, where due to propriatary stuff its closed and updateable by vendor. Another layer, the OS can go on top, thusly eliminating hardware dependancy as well as increasing updatability. OS and security issues can then more easily be adressed, without the now unduable vendor involvement needed in integrating the new OS with all the hardware specifics. Given the entropy rate of new phones coming out, its undoable. This last, as wel as commercial reasons is why updates and fixes for security holes dont come fast. As of yet.
Right now we see the true devs juggling various devices as the rate of entropy in new devices is higher then more true devs coming in. Devices not even picket up by community cause there are no devs for it. The breaking point has come.
A new design must be made for this momentum, a new standard

I think people who are already rooted will be ok , they will just need to avoid the official 4.4 until a custom rom is built. The bigger problem will be for new unrooted owners. I would imagine it being tricky to flash a custom kernel without the ability to root. I also agree in time the devs will figure something out.

Official - the 4.4.2 update - discussion thread

There's a leaked Samsung Android 4.4 schedule on the net and it points to January for the S4 and N3. Going by the title at the top of the screenshot/picture it's the international variant S4/N3. US will be even longer. I'm quite pissed about this as these are the flagship devices and should be upgraded MUCH sooner. Thoughts?
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...xy-s-4-and-note-3-s-iii-and-note-ii-by-april/
Anybody complaining about non nexus devices not getting updates instantly have clearly not been paying attention the last 3 years. January is earlier than I would have predicted.

Not sure how big of a deal KitKat really will be,...
I installed some of the newer files [Email, Calendar, QuickOffice] from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506623
To get some of the newer available apps, but moving to 4.4 washes away the hard work that Devs [Hashcode, beans, and Hyper] have already invested into 4.3.
I find Root and ROMs much more beneficial than the OS,....for now. De-bloating and customization is key!!
4.4 literally brings no new Ingenuity or function.

I really had to think about it when I chose to get the Note 3, but I figure the features on this phone are pretty amazing, and the way its looking is that phones will mostly be locked in the future. ATT is locking theirs, Verizon is locking theirs, Im sure the rest will follow. If two out of the four major US carriers are doing this, there is a good chance that someone will find a way around it. For the time being, we have Hashcode who has found away around the lock for the most part. We just need to get something like Loki or KEXEC working.
My other option was to keep a phone that has outdated resolution, software and hardware..... I had the Note 2 for a year and was ready to move on.

That part was for my Note 2. :cyclops:
We have no one to blame but ourselves. We accept the fact that the US carriers bend us over the barrel and do what they want to us. We accept it everyday by using their services, paying their crazy stupid prices and by accepting their restrictive contracts. Anyone who expects a US Wireless Carrier to offer an update let alone a Samsung update within a reasonable time frame is simply crazy.
The only reason the HTC One is getting it so fast is . . . well they don't have many phones to actually update or are worth updating so they have to keep pushing updates out to stay relevant. Of course the HTC one didn't get 4.2.2 we got stuck with 4.1.2 until we got 4.3. Of course I gave up on my HTC One long ago.

I have seen lots of people asking for it across the forum, but everytime the answer was no, so I would assume there is no option for that. But Im not 100% sure, maybe someone will come up with solution the main problem would be bootloader which is locked, what makes it impossible to flash amother kernel, and Android kernel is needed to boot android, it would not work on apple kernel.
