To those complaining about lack of development here - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

We're in second place in overall threads and as far as the amount of posts, we're in 4th place, but still. While I know this doesn't represent ROMs, it does show activity, and we're not a ghost town. So, please, stop complaining about the lack of development here on the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 forum. We're as active as can be at the moment.

Agreed. I think you and all the Dev's are doing great. Learned a lot about the phone and ODIN just from the developement going on. I appreciate all the hard work.

Agreed. This is a niche phone, and still the quality of the development here is strong, and gets better by the day.
Best to dig in and enjoy the things this phone can do as opposed to what this community lacks.
Easier to complain, I suppose.

Couldn't agree more. Patience is a virtue, indeed. Be thankful for the work we DO have.

Thank you for the post freeza, the quality of what is available now is top notch. The Note 3 is already an amazing phone, so for you guys to improve it so much is a commendable feat to say the least. I appreciate all of the devs hard work and really anyone contributing in a positive manner. I know the latest onslaught of self entitlement won't ruin it for the rest, but there had been a growing sense of it in here lately.
Even if it's not necessarily an entitlement thing people just need to respect what is currently available and be grateful for it.

Agreed! I will take quality over quantity any day. Every ROM I have tried since coming to the Sprint Note 3 has been pretty amazing. Thanks to all the devs!

Not a complaint here. .. I'd also rather have quality over quantity! I wanna thank all the great devs that are here making things happen. I know for a fact that there are great things on the horizon. ...1brainsurgeon has acquired the n3... skunk ape is working on his rom! Things are coming along we just have to patient!

Always here to squash trolls, and back up those who need it all in the name of development, so I say carry on to those in here who are committed to continuing on for the Note 3.

When I first got this phone and came here I thought about development being slow, but then one dude pointed out that the quality of this phone from what I came from is night and day and there was a reason for there being so much development in other forums - - pretty much because the phones had a ton of issues and this one doesn't... Always appreciate the devs though, I couldn't even begin to do what they do... Thanks for the work...

I agree %100 I was always a flashaholic I don't even feel the urge to root this phone it is perfect.

I was flashing a lot until I put Viper on my phone, team venom was good to go and their rom was Damn near perfect, however, had this phone for a couple weeks now and getting that itch to root and start screwing with it, just wonder if it's best to wait until the next update and then root, not sure how complicated it is on a Samsung phone to upgrade to a new version when MJ4 gets replaced. Still reading and doing reasearch on Odin, looks simple though, I've always had HTC phones.

I just have an urge to keep modifying my phone, why?

I dont know if you guys feel the same, but I just have an urge to mess up with my phone so much, install themes, play around with roms, change settings, find out about hidden settings, anything that makes me feel that I can, just for the heck of being able to do it, and I want more and more!! what about you? do yo feel the same way? are we weird or what?
No, we're human. Don't ask Steve Jobs about customizing, it doesn't compute.
//need more input.
Is this necessary for the development section?
yes very much
My name is Mark, and I'm a phone junkie.
lol, phone junkie, nice term for our sickness, jejejejeje
Yes, I suffer from this as well. I actually still flash ROMs on my Droid, just because I miss being able to do so. It's one of the few things I miss about my Droid. I hope we see Voodoo tonight or tomorrow so I have something to play around with.
Count me in with this group.
I may reactivate my incredible just to flash stuff.
Fascinate oc1.4 for now
Lmao, I'm the same way. I got this phone last friday, but I haven't rooted yet since there isn't much yet to toy with for it. I'm going nuts. I have an inactive droid and my wife is using my incredible. I flashed roms on those phones almost daily. I've got a serious case of withdraws.

I too have this disease the only difference between me and you guys is that I can quit anytime I want to. i just dont want to. OK?!?!?
But really I miss the daily ROMs maybe we could make some placebo ROMs you know they wouldn't really change anything but they would be there for those of us that just need to flash something lol
I too am a junkie when it comes to this stuff. I came from droid 1 and even with it inactive I flash stuff over wifi nonstop since we don't have much on the fascinate yet. It's an addiction!

The cool thing about android is that you can't really brick a phone cause you always have resources like RSD, and Odin at your disposal. Now when you do brick its because its your fault, you did something stupid and deserve a bricked phone. Its your fault cause you did something stupid and deserve a bricked phone. Sorry had to say that twice cause it was worth repeating.

yeah, is kind of scary when somwthing goes wrong and the phone wont boot, or is stuck in the boot screen, your heart starts to accelerate, your mind starts to work really hard, and when you fix it and you see your home screen again, you feel like some kind of power, or realization that a stupod phone wont beat you

A farewell.

Hi all.
My wife's phone recently played out for the third time within a year (D2). When they replaced it this time they sent her a completely different phone.
Well she liked my DX2 better so I got the other (sam strat) phone. I had planned on moving to another phone in the not so distant future but looks like I got moved sooner then I thought. (Still gonna get a different phone in the near future)
The DX2 community on here is incredible, and I am sure that goes without saying and everyone of you guys and gals know that! I will miss my phone and the community but it's time to move on I suppose. I wish you all the best, I am sure I will stop in from time to time to check up on things.
DK, your an awesome Dev. and I think more so then that you seem to be a super guy from what one can get to know someone else through communicating over the internet / forums. Thanks man for all your time and effort!
GL all.
Don't be a stranger and be sure to stop in from time to time. When I got my Gnex, the thought crossed my mind that I may not frequent the DX2 community as much. But I just can't let it go. Other areas here on XDA just don't offer what is abundant here. By far the best on the web, hands down.
Best of luck in your future endeavors...neighbor!

Guess I will see you over on rootzwiki then? They have a forum for the Stratosphere. Rooting+flashing isn't so bad once you learn how to use odin. It's definitly a lot easier rooting the x2, but oh well. Still stuck with 2 or 3 roms too which are all tweaked versions of stock because the radio interface layer is locked by samsung. They say we're supposed to get ICS(only reps, no official updates), but won't give out any dates or anything. Oh well.
I reccommend tweaked 2.2. Pretty awesome!

[Q] Would anyone actually use a Ubuntu Touch port?

So just curious, would anyone actually use a port for the jfltevzw of Ubuntu Touch? Just curious because i was thinking of making one.
I would definitely like to play around with it. The stability would be the main factor in determining whether or not I would actually use it for an extended period of time

For sure. Would cellular aspects work in this port?
News!
Sorry I haven't made any replies lately, my S4 is currently broken. As an update, data will probably not work and it will probably be very broken. The shop I took it to said 10-12 days until I get it back. So I will be waiting for my phone to come back before I begin porting and such.

Thanks for the reply. Look forward to any progress once your phone is fixed.
Any news on this? I didn't think Ubuntu Touch would be possible on this device without an unlocked bootloader.
Probably not for the ME7 people but it might still work with loki

Note 3 ROMS

I've noticed only a few ROMS available for the Sprint Note 3. I know Sprint is always a few months behind other carriers but I do greatly prefer Sprint over all other carriers. For their political beliefs there environmental outlook and quality of service. Though... One of my favorite things to do is flash ROMS and tweak my devices. So I'm now I'm in a position where my carrier is preventing me from doing one of the things I enjoy doing. I'm wondering if the ROM developers can start porting their ROMS for SM-N900P Sprint Note 3, or is there a moderately difficult process someone can point me to so I can port them myself. I can follow directions no matter how difficult but I cannot program.

just a bit dramatic, technically they are not stopping you. the lack of roms is stopping you.
but i digress...
While I'm always for more roms, i like mine to be different enough from each other to be able to tell what i'm flashing.
i guess we could just get a bunch of very similar roms that way you could just flash a new one all day.
though i say with the ones we have, and at the rate they get updated, if yuo install them and play around with each one, by the time you were done there would be updates to the first ones to go back and start the whole series over.
that wasn't a run on sentence by the way.
porting roms is a whole can of worms...
starting with getting permissions from the original authors
to figuring out what needs to be changed to make it work.
can be painfree and simple
or can be worse than doing it from scratch.
though i have a prediction, not that i would have heard or anything, that we will see a few new roms shortly.
shhhhhhhhhhhh dont tell them i told you they wil AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bro....
My brother has the GS4 through Verizon, and there are like 6 different versions.
Rooting wasn't the issue, as I rooted it for him easily. The issue was "bootstrap", "Safestrap", "modems", and other terminology.
Not what I'm used to. He's rooted, but you cannot flash AOSP ROM'S with their locked bootloaders. You can only flash stock ROMS, and you have to use "Safestrap", which apparently makes multiple partitions and you have to keep your original stock ROM.
And then there is Loki, and Odin, whatever the hell those are. I'm guessing for unlocked bootloaders, but I haven't got that far yet.
Friend of mine from work blames Verizon, saying they try to seriously lock down their phones.

I don't know about Samsung devices (on Sprint) but I know rooting my HTC wasn't too bad, but flashing it was a different story.
I'm not sure how much Truth is in that whole story. I mean, who can be THAT foolish? If it was me, I would make sure hat my kids don't even talk about it at school. Shoot...I might not even tell them.
Furthermore, whether this is true or not, this still provides HTC with premature feedback from users who want to see what the M8 will look like. While it is too late for them to make physical changes to the phone, at least they can try to make a few software changes to the phone. For example, I'm sure that someone is going to criticize the camera app. Based on the general consensus, they can make the needed modifications. This video has brought much attention to HTC, whether negative or positive, and there's nothing that good ol' Sammy can do about it.
Did I mention that this is FREE advertising? That's something that HTC never did very well with, and funding has a lot to do with it. I'm not saying that this story can't be true, but I certainly feel that there are more factors at play under the hood.
And to add to those who have said that Samsung is difficult to root, I beg to differ. Once I downloaded the correct files to the computer, it took me 2mins to root my wife's GS3 with an auto root tool. I had to do a lot more work to root my EVO. Mind you, I'm not saying that my EVO was difficult to rllt, but i also had to obtain S-Off in a separate process. You just have to root a Samsung and you're good to go.
