Is there anyway S7 Edge, Note 7 or 6.0 Roms for the Mega 2 and if not Who are some developers who may be interested in creating some? The Note 3 and the s4 are the most similar phones to the to the Mega. Id be willing to donate to someone who has a Fully working S7 Edge, Note 7 or 6.0 Roms for the Mega 2.

Hi guys,
You know Galaxy Mega is a great phone. But i think we miss some of the features and apps like the ones on the s4 and note 3. Wouldnt it be cool if we can have them. I saw some threads like,
Note 3 apps for S4:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/samsung-galaxy-note-3-apps-on-the-galaxy-s-4/
S4 apps for S3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309762
Why there is no Note 3 apps for Mega thread?
I agree, we need to port every app that's worth it.
It would be easier if we get from S4 to S3 apps because of the display resolution.
Can some one try to port note 3 or s5 camera to note 2 iknow its hard but that would be great beciz dev have alrady ported many things from note 3 and s5 but only thing missing is camera but i have seen one videos
But nt able to find the link can some one try to mod i will be really thank full if some can guve a try

Hello
I was a happy owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I sold it yesterday but it was too big for my palm
Now I would like to buy a new phone and I cannot decide which one.
I am between Galaxy S5 and Nexus 6 and I cannot make up my mind.
To be honest I'm tired of Samsung Phones, I started with Samsung Galaxy S GT9000, then S2 then Galaxy Core then Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3 and I'm really tired of Samsung and I hate Knox which voids your warranty if you install a custom rom or you modify your system and the Samsung Bloatware
However the phones were masterpieces in terms of performance and the support of custom roms was magnificent and S5 would be at least that good.
I'm really excited with Nexus 6 because Nexus devices are known for their Clean Android experience, the instant updates and Nexus 6 will be a high end experience.
I would like your suggestions and help me decide which phone should I buy.
Also please, if you have any other phone to recommend, please do so, I would like to check it out
200% you can go for nexus6 ....
Samsung never gives update at proper time like nexus devices
For every android version Samsung plan new device and for pushing new device they delays updates for old one
But nexus is not like that within some days you will get update when gogle release new firmware
Custom ROM support for nexus devices is great compared to that of Samsung devices .....only thing that nexus devices will not have some advanced touch wiz features like note series has .....

I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 and Note 2 and I have the Nexus 5 since November, 2013.
I recommend you the Nexus 6 as your next device. Why? Because the price-quality ratio is awesome, no bloatwares, no Knox, the latest Android versions, the best UX I have ever seen and a wonderful XDA community
I am sure I have seen some Galaxy Note 5 portings in the S6/S6 Edge sections, but what about them now?
Did Samsung ask to remove them or?

Always on display feature is first and foremost only for S7 and S7 Edge. If you intend to use it on S6 Edge then obviously it won't work unless you'll use S7 Edge port for S6 Edge. And the reason you are able to use it on your Note 3 is just because you are using S7 Edge Rom Port.

I guess this is exactly what he asked. My understanding of what he wrote is the he IS using the S7 ROM port on S6 Edge but the Always On Display is not working while on the same port on Note 3 it is working. If that's not correct and he is using another ROM on S6 Edge, then you're totally right

Hi, it's exactly what I meant Rapier you're right thank you
On the s7 port for our s6 edge the code to make it work maybe has not been ported correctly. And on the note 3 maybe the dev there made it work i hope I'm not mistaken but the dev here abandoned the s7 port for our device.
Its kernel related, On note 3, galaxy s3 and s5 its working because there was devs working on it, and our s6 seems like no dev is currently interresed in it
It's not about being interested or not, it's about the fact that developent on Exynos is a PITA compared to Qualcomm due to lack off sources and support from Samsung. It was always like this on Exynos and that's why older Galaxy devices have plenty of ROMs and we dont.
So until we'll have this, it's hard to do almost anything.
To come back to the problem in discussion, the ROM is a port...that is taking part of the rom, libs and apps from the S7 and merging them with libs, kernel and drivers from a working S6/S6 edge ROM.
The result is a bootable and most working S7 ROM, but where there is speciffic hardware integration for a certain function to work...we dont have it as it's build in certain libs or in the kernel and we use our own
I hope that this pretty much explains why this and other features are not properly working or even not working at all. We should be glad we have something and hope for more...

An always on display for the s6 edge as the s7 would certainly be a nice addition, it just looks cool along with the functionality of it. I hope we see something in the near future for the s6 edge.
I personally would be more than happy with an always on feature similar to the edge clock & notifications feed (the one turned on when the screen is off with a slide gesture) but instead being
permanently on providing burn in issues were properly addressed.
