Hello everyone,
I have a few questions about your experiences with galaxy tab 10.1.. I am considering buying my first tablet and i have an option to get it from my operator for a reasonable price and with split payments (250 EUR altogether).. I am also interested in iPad 2, but i don't know if i want to buy another apple device and i would have to cash out at once which is the lesser option for me.. I have been a member of this community for a long time and it has helped me a lot, i have learned a lot, so i again ask you to help me with this decision .. i own a samsung galaxy s i9000 phone and am a big fan of cyanogen mod roms. If i buy the Tab 2 10.1, i'm not even considering using the stock rom.. Is CM10 smooth and usable? The most important part for me is Wifi and 3G, because i will be using it on daily train rides.. i also hate lag, like most of you so in all i'm asking you if you could point me to a video which showcases performance of an AOKP or CM10 rom and share your experiences and also opinions/alternatives (like if its worth cashing out for a note 10.1)..
Thanks in advance!
I use cm10 jelly bean 4.1.1 in my tab2 no problems at all and very smooth scrolling i use it as daily driver and ditched the stock firmware completely no return to stock cm10 implemented gooood in this tab do not worry you will be impressed

In terms of specifications yes much faster but one thing to check the presence of custom roms try to check if custom roms you like found for the device it is a new device so i think custom roms will come eventually but in some cases may be the developers do not like to develop for device so you will find a small number of custom roms avaliable or did not find roms that you prefer in device as cm roms check www.teamhacksung.org still no speaking about cm for note 10
Some people before buying a device check internet for presence of custom roms they like for the specific device before buying it
Check if their is a specific subforum for note 10 and read some posts about development in it before buy and search google for custom roms for it also see some youtube videos about device to have near full knowledge before buying

I prefer the S III myself too. Pity the Nexus series is crippled all the time.
no multiview, smart stay, direct call ? well thanks , no nexus for me . Im already running a nexus4 like setup as my secondary rom
Without a memory card slot and a removable battery I will always pick S3 without any question not to mention Nexus 4 is LG.
Now why can't google for once release a nexus with a memory card slot :/ and hopefully next nexus will be released by Sony

It may happen. Looks like Google make rotation every time release new Nexus.
Sony the last one who has not yet made Nexus phone.

Because they want you to use their cloud storage and a fixed battery keeps the unit cost down. It's amazing that they've managed to produce the hardware for the price, but I still chose the S3 as I couldn't live with being tethered to a wall plug for 4 hours a day.
Catching myself on flashing Cyanogen after every samsung rom release - it's just clean and light comparing to the last one , i then thought, if i love pure G more than a blup-blup cartoonish mothefuker even with cool milti window which i used 4-5 times to put iScumbags in depression and smart rotation which is a super must feature. However , i just enjoy a lot more when using aosp , eventhough S3 is a great device

Looks like he's using Paranoid Android, because of the split screen email.
Close run contest at this point, but next year when the S4 comes out and Sammy can't be bothered updating the S3 to later versions of android anymore, the N4 will suddenly seem far more appealing.
The fact Samsung will not release usable hals and related sources then a fully working Aosp alternative isn't going to be an option either.

Yep, well the rumors where that the nexus family was gonna become a line, so there were gonna be different nexus devices by different makers at the same time
I honestly dont think that the nexus will ever have an SD slot..why? dont even ask me cause it doesnt make sense, but most likely because its was originally supposed to be a developer phone? who knows..but they need to start listening to us the users
My thing is..when I hear "nexus" I think of the cream of the cream, top of the line stuff on it..they shouldnt cheap out on parts nor design..and somehow they just keep doing that over and over again

So is the theme in this thread that the SGS3 is the better phone than the nexus 4?
I have been mulling this over and over in my head. I have an update in may and I don't know if I should sell my SGS3 now and get the nexus 4 then decide in may if I want to jump to SGS4 or keep my SGS3 till may and swap then ???

That's where I was leaning especially with an upgrade around the corner I can always make that decision then. I was just wondering over here if many made the swap from SGS3 and if they regret it or are OK?

*** EDIT ***
Aparently a list of devices that will recieve 4.2.2 has just been leaked and Galaxy S2 is among them. Hurray!!
You can take a look at the list here: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18...roid-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/
*** EDIT ***
So guys, with the announcement of Galaxy S4 all I wanted to see was how Samsung would implement Touchwiz on Android 4.2.2.
I'm probably one of the few around here who actually like Touchwiz, hahahahaha.
So I started watching a bunch of Hands-on videos of Galaxy S4 and noticed a few design changes that pleased me a lot.
1- Configuration screen is now divided into 4 tabs. Much more organized than stock Android.
2- Notification Bar now has the new button from Android 4.2.2 and Samsung used it to show all widgets (wifi, gps, etc).
Five widgets still remain fixed for fast access and I don't know if they can be edited. Probably yes.
3- Lockscreen now has widgets as expected. But I noticed lots of Samsung widgets in there including a player widget for fast access to play/pause, etc.
It seems Samsung loved this new feature and used it really well (better than having CM 10.1 and it's exclusive CLocK widget xD).
4- Status Bar is now transparent. This is something lots of people use to mod here in XDA so all I can think is Samsung is listening to us or at least peaking at XDA sometimes to see what people are doing with their phones. This is actually pretty awesome
5- Lots and lots of new Camera modes! I believe some of them are actually possible to implement for Galaxy S2.
Others like double camera (back and front) might have hardware limitations.
6- Smart Play: a video you are watching will pause if you look away from the screen.
7- Smart Scroll: tilting the device and moving your eyes will scroll a page on the Web or in the Gallery.
Moving your hands in the air to do the same thing is not yet clear if it uses the front camera to recognize the action or one of the new screen sensors.
8- Lots of new apps. S Voice Drive, S Translator, S Choice, New ChatON, etc.
9- Air touch? This will probably never come but it's so cool
Anyway. Let's wait and see if Samsung plans to update Galaxy S2 one final time to give us some of these treats. What do you guys think? Sorry for any English mistakes. I'm writing from my phone. Also don't hesitate to highlight anything about the new Touchwiz I might have missed in this post

Not a chance in hell. Sam is done supporting us. I don't see a reason why they would continue supporting S2. Samsung is a commercial company and they want consumers buy their new products rather than supporting the old products for free.

Besides they have given us support more than any other companies. Do you see another 2 year old phone getting 4.1.2? If you think of it, Samsung is good
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I have a feeling Samsung will surprise us all. 4.2.1 is still Jelly Bean and most probably the last Jelly Bean Google will ever release. So it would be good for Samsung to update its devices to the last Jelly Bean and call it a quit once and for all.
Re: Touchwiz 6 and Android 4.2.1, will we get it?
Many devices less powerful then us will get 4.2.2 like galaxy grand and SII+ then why not the original galaxy SII?

i like how everyones complaining that this phone with its vast amount of support,roms and devs is at its end.
I moved over to here froman Atrix 4g tegra2 phone.
The only tegra 2 device to NOT get ics we had one leak that has many issues and no kernel
its so serious devs are manually uart and jtagging the device and building a kernel from scratch.
And here people are complaing that this phone with its 4.1.2 leaks etc have a phone thats at the ed of its support.
this phone got great support from samsung .

Think about it this way, the SGS2+ is still a brand new phone on the market, and how will people feel who have just purchased it?
Same with the S3 mini which has near identical specs to us, they will have to update it, its only a few months old, and the update isn't exactly a major one.
Samsung's official statement is that they will bring the new features to their 'flagship devices' I know for sure the Note II, SIII and Note 10.1 fall under this category, but I'm not sure what else.
Also, I fail to see how our S2 can't support at least half of the new features.

you cant complain because you have just purchased it. its replacement is about to be replaced. its been supported great in my opinion and i still love it.
We already got 2 updates, no way that Sammy will make 3rd one.

I consider most of those features mere gimmicks than things that are actually useful. Especially the things that use the camera, that'll probably scoop up a lot of battery life... And the status bar being transparent: if they would make it configurable, that would be a step ahead! If Samsung does bring 4.2 to the S II, that would definitely be a good thing. But like the others said, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Many not hardware related features in the
Samsung Galaxy S 4 are coming to the
Samsung Galaxy S III and S II
The Samsung Galaxy S III is still a top-notch
phone. According to Nick DiCarlo, Samsung's
vice president of portfolio planning, many of
the cool features that are in the Samsung
Galaxy S 4 will find their way to the Samsung
Galaxy S III.
"Anything that we can do that's not
dependent on hardware like infrared, we'll
definitely bring to all the flagship devices,"
DiCarlo said.
And that includes several of the new features
for the camera. Feature like Smart Scroll ,
Smart Pause, S Translator, S Health and the S
Voice Drive, to name just a few, eventually
join the Galaxy S III and perhaps even the
Samsung Galaxy S II as well.

Hi guys, I have a question for you.
I need to change device and I'm undecided whether to purchase the Note 3 (Snapdragon) or the Nexus 5.
I am inclined to buy the Note 3, but I do not know if it will be supported by the community for a long time,
and especially if the "AOSP developers" will have problems with it.
Getting to the point: do you think that developers will have serious problems and bugs
(as there were in the previous galaxy powered by Exynos)
or the development of AOSP for Note 3 (Snapdragon) will be as smooth as silk, as for the Nexus devices?
development for snapdragon will be simpler compared to exynos version as what i've witness in Galaxy S4 scenario

Simpler, but much more difficult than nexus?
UP Someone else?
Pretty sure the Nexus line will always be the easiest.
I think if the lower screen size doesn't bother you, then the nexus 5 is probably the way to go. I was originally thinking about the note 3 or the nexus 5 but decided to go against the latter (I like to watch alot of youtube and the bigger screen size was perfect for a media consumer). But if your looking at it with development in mind, the nexus 5 just has more perks than the note 3

Can KNOX be a problem for developers AOSP?
Does anyone know if the CyanogenMod is available for this device?
There are problems in the development of the latter?
(We're talking about the variant with Snapdragon)
AOSP and knox won't be a problem as long as you don't care about 0x1 on Knox warranty

I blame it on timing alone. Why would the developers try to compile a jelly bean ROM when they know that kit kat was going to be released soon.

Ok! So this is the problem!
I hope that if I were to buy a N9005, I will not have problems in turning it into "Google Edition" without
the annoying problems (like the little support to developers) who presented with other Samsung devices.
I am quite new to the forums but I am just wondering if CM is coming to this device... seeing as installing CM11 on my mother's Galaxy S3 and it works super duper fast, the Tab 4 Lags with touchwiz...

Probably not. This devices are not so popular and all good devs have a Nexus 7 or 9. So Id bet this tabs wont get cm11 or 12 or anything but a debloated stock rom.

T230NU, I really need a langauge pack on this device since my mom doesn't quite understand English.. Russian would be good
Thats upsetting considering they had CM working on a little crappy Huawei phone, but wont do it for a samsung tablet...
It depends on the devs. We got so lucky that some devs owned the tab s and made a unoffical build of cm11 and aphla build of cm12. I own a tab s and are lucky to have cm11 on this device.
If a talented Dev applied himself it is possible but mostly the issue is our chip set is hard to work with. The tab s wasn't.

i bought a SM-T530 today, first tablet but had many android phones (htc desire, s2, s3, htc m8 and so on) and rooted/rom on all of them.
impulse bought this tab 4 tablet expecting good things due to the fact its a samsung tab series and just expected there would be a scene of roms for these samsung tablets! boy was i wrong.
very dissapointed i bought this tablet now considering i cant even find an aosp rom for it at the moment.
first time i have not researched a device. i burnt myself big time. im never a fan of stock roms. :crying:
will keep an eye on these forums for roms. hoping someone does an aosp rom of some kind for it.

Yes. I do not think the Tab 4 chipsets are exynos. Our tab s are exynos which is probaly why some devs who dont own this tablet still makes kernels and roms.

Yeah, my niece got a tab 4 for christmas, and I was helping her out with it, since I'm the "tech" guy. I was pretty disappointed with it, to be honest. It made me really appreciate my nexus.
So far only real gripe I have is lack of brightness sensor... Amazed they left that off.

hi,
the sm-t23x is going to hit the same wall that the tab 3 7.0 hit because of the marvell situation.
although, from the effort with the tab 3 7, there may be new knowledge available marvell wise for working
with the tab 4 7.
I would recommend getting to work on it over waiting for someone else to do it. :good:
