Are there any developers out there that would be willing to make a galaxy note 2 Rom for s3 that has all the features and icons so pretty much looks like s3 before you turn it on and then when you turn it on its a note 2 if that make sence there are lots of people that would love this kind of Rom thanks

Hi, Tech Guys here!
I don't know if I'm posting in the correct category but I thought it would be the best way to decide here which device to buy. Yes, I've looked on various sites and reviews for the best mobile device out there. Surely, most of them would suggest any one of the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One and Xperia Z. Well, I've not found any review considering the development of the devices and I don't think I'd. Thus, I decided to post a thread here on XDA where I can easily get recommendation for it and can have my priorities considered by the techies here. At the moment, I own a Samsung Galaxy S II. The only reason I still love it is the continuous development for it. So, my kind request to all of you here is to help me decide the best phone out there - the budget is INR 40,000 ($ 800). Here are the priorities (decreasing order):
Obviously, Android! I don't want restrictions for using my own device. I want the possibility to tweak the settings. I want Custom ROMS, Apps or you can say everything what this site is made for.
The best development support - I think Samsung and Google are the best for it, no?
Battery Backup. It's fine if I can improve it noticeably with tweaks.
Storage
Hell outta performance. I was very disappointed for the reviews that said though having the best performance, S4 noticeably lags a much.
Screen with good contrast and colors. Size also matters.
I don't want to pay much for bloat.
I don't know why my heart is not letting me go against the S4. But I can make the same understand if I've your points here.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone.
I've also added a poll to vote for your choice.
s4 is great but one x is better suited for developing Android roms. Many roms are available for one x but s4 doesn't even have a official cyanogen

try SIII
I would wait a month, and get the S4 google edition when it comes out. You can't go wrong buying from google, and the S4 is an amazing device.

If I'm not wrong, it's S4 minus bloat?
That's what I can do with the help of xda! It would have been a cool deal if its price was less than the S4's
Correct me if I'm wrong

Get the nexus if it is for development. It is the only line that is fully supported by AOSP.

True, i'm just pissed at AT&T for my locked-bootloader-s4
That problem will sort itself out soon though...

Well I have had a recent dealings with some of the devices from India and to be honest if it is for Development you may end up importing. Avoid Micromax and any of the OEM that import from China. Maybe the S3 maybe a good one or the S4 If the Nexus line is not available to you. Oppo Is also working hard with developers.

Yeah, I mean the device should've nice development support but the other stuff I've mentioned in the list also matters. I'll be comparing Nexus 4 with S4 (i.e. Researching...)
Just upgraded to a Nexus 5 and wondered if anyone has any suggestions as to what to do with my Galaxy S2? I keep all my old phones, but it seems a shame to keep such a powerful tool in the loft! It could probably be re-purposed into something much more exciting! I just don't know what.
Anyone got any ideas?

Depends on what you want to do .. An example.. I would install on a ROM that they just created or become a tester for a new ROM and try to its version on Galaxy S2. Benefits are not few
Hey on a samsung galaxy y phone user I'm sure there are others out there that would like to see some development maybe even a simple custom kernel or we can overclock and do other tweaks when you don't developers on this there's not very much at all going on with this phone it is a very good phone and cheap

Hi I XDA Q&A explorers.. Answerers!
Any info about an firmware/ROM of the new Galaxy s5 for the Galaxy s4 LTE+ (GT-I9506)?
The main thing are the new features of the s5
I think that this is an interesting question/theme for a lot of s4 users with the GT-I9506 version.
All the best
Hope I'm right over here

There is cyanogenmod 13 and 12.1 for gt-i9506. I personally have the 13 installed on my gt-i9506 and since its my primary device I care a lot about call quality and so far, to be honest, I'm impressed. It's so smooth and the ir sensor works. You can search cyanogenmod 13 for gt-i9506 and you'll get the forum with twrp recovery, cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13.
