Galaxy tablet Sprint CDMA questions

I'm thinking of getting one of these on ebay in the hope of being able to flash custom ROMs on it but spending an hour reading up on it on this board has got me a bit worried. Can anyone answer a few questions for me?
1. Which GPU does the Sprint tablet have (hoping to hear "the same as the P1000")
2. Which custom ROMs work with the Sprint? Are there any custom kernels?
3. What are the main disadvantages of having a Sprint tablet compared to a P1010 (wifi only)?
Thanks!

3. What are the main disadvantages of having a Sprint tablet compared to a P1010 (wifi only)?
1. the CPU is a 1ghz hummingbird (arm a8), and the GPU is a PowerVR SGX 540. both are the same as their GSM counterparts. i believe its only the wifi only that has the 530.
2. Spacemoose's Honeycomb alpha2 will "work" but things like cameras bluetooth and sound arent functional yet. Khasmek's kernel works pretty well. Download SGS kernel flasher for verizon tabs from the market you can backup and flash it pretty easily, be sure n backup if you want to revert for any reason.
3. 3g and a marginally better graphics core. if you bought during the woot deal you saved 100 over the Wifi only tab while getting 3g

Thanks for the info. Do you know if there is a stable 2.3 ROM available?

i personally havent flashed a new rom on mine (only kernel). I think theres an official gingerbread headed to our tab this summer... seems like samsung's done their part, and we're waiting on the carrier specific "optimizations"

Would it be accurate to say that there are far fewer custom ROMs available for the Sprint tablet?

Yes that is accurate. GSM Tabs have way more you can do. CDMA Tabs are a minority when it comes to ROM'S.

Good to know.how do I get recovery for the sprint tab. Can I use the Verizon's version.I am rooted and all just can't get recovery.

[Q] Planning on getting Optimus; just a few questions!

Now i know the sgs2 is supposed to be the best, but its also the most expensive. whereas the LG has a way better price point. so i was wondering a couple things; it would surely lead my to getting the Optimus.
anyway a couple questions;
1. is it true that there are models with 850/1900 3g bands? i've read around but nothing solid.
2. how hard is it to root? read it up on the dev threads and 1-click works fine?
3. when you use cyanogenmod, does it lag and FC like the stock firmware?
4. how's the camera quality using the 1080p 30fps mod? does it skip frames/double frames?
5. how is your battery life? please give 3g and screen on details.
sorry if these questions are really redundant and have been posted before, just getting to wits end as my N1 died and i can't decide this whole duel core debacle.
thanks to those who answer!

1.) No clue sorry :|
2.) One Clicks Work fine It's easy to root it with SuperOneClick for example
3) I wouldnt recomment CM7 roms, but rather Froyo optimized Modaco Roms.
I'm using the Fr17 Vanilla edition and all i can say is, its the most stable thing ive ever seen on a mobile phone. I didnt even have lag on stock either, it depends on how new your phone is.
4.) Working great, no skipping or smearing
5.) Fr 17 Vanilla Edition, Using stock baseband. Im using the phone on a daily basis, a few calls, lotsa Whatsapp, 10-15 sms a day, 2 hours of browsing when im on the train, my battery lasts 2 days. Pretty good if you ask me, especially considering its a dual core phone.
Dont expect a long battery life when playing Tegra 2 optimized HD games though, but thats self-explanatory

why would you say not to use CM7 roms?
thanks for the rest of the info!

In my opinion, CM7 builds arent really stable, just see the comments in the specific rom threads.
I don't want to badmouth all of them though, some people have issues with them, some dont. I can only speak for myself and im more than happy with modaco roms

For me is a lot more stable de CyanogenMod rc7.1.0 then the stock LG roms ... with officila rom, I got randoms reboots and freexes almost daily and now with the cyanogen, since the 27 that is was published i haven't had a single reboot or freeze!!! ... also the phone is faster.

According to my box it says WCDMA 900/1900/2100 GSM 850/900/1800/1900
So 1 is a yes? Or is there some way i can check?

Are you getting the alarm bug where the alarm doesn't work until you turn the phone on? That's crucial for me

hi
u can see here too if u want i was planning to buy did not due to some personal fin problems
see this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128045

hmm im thinking of buying this phone but im very my confused because of its reboots problems ,,,! can this problem be sorted out ? or will it remain same ?

another question. really important... does the optimus 2x (specifically) work on AT&T(aka Rogers) 3g bands? cause i know for sure the g2x doesn't... but the optimus has that 1900 band. so just want to know if it works for any of you on AT&T/Rogers.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

There is a confusing model of Optimus 2X, that supports the frequencies you want.
It's still an Optimus 2X, but it is apparently a P990h, not a P990, so be careful what you flash on it.
Also, CM7 is brilliant compared to stock.

so would cm7 work on this P990h model?

Unknown yet, as no-one seems to have got one here.

Im thinking about gettin the droid4

I have the droid3, thinking about getting the droid4. I see that ICS has leaked, why don't the custom ROMs have full function yet then ?

There are a few reasons:
The leaked ICS builds have only been out for about a week.
The primary Droid 4 AOSP developers (i.e. Hashcode) work on ROMs for multiple devices and only have so much time.
The current ICS ROMs are based on the D4 Gingerbread kernel. There is a new kernel in the leaked ICS builds and the ROMs will likely have to be modified accordingly.

cool man thanks. you think it will be updated fully soon ? are there any major hurdles that would have to be jumped?

Hash code is working on a d4 ics version of safe strap as well as an improved ics rom. I am not sure on the specifics of which one or if its going to be all or a totally new rom based on the leaks. the big difference is everything will work, hardware acceleration, face unlock and basically what does not work in the current roms. I would say in about a week or less we should start to see the ics based roms getting pumped out.

yeaaa awesome. Hash is the best furreal aha. If he makes all the features i know the AOKP rom (fully functional) will be made by someone eventually. thanks for all your help

I would totally upgrade. I had both as well. Screen is better. Keyboard is better. Form factor is better. And it is getting official ics
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA

I just recently upgraded to the Droid 4 from the Droid 3. It looks and feels better in the hand though there is allot of extra bessel which is kinda annoying (atleast to me) to look at.
Though the new keyboard is sweet, the new shift posistion still messes me up. Plus it's going to be supported more than the Droid 3 because it has 1 gig of ram (official ICS ) and it's 4G (So verizon approves)
4G has been great, so has been playing games. Haven't tried the GPS yet.
So yeah, its worth the upgrade.

Cyanogenmod and other roms?

I wish someone would be able to port this onto our devices. Can anyone shed a light regarding this topic please?
Please put all your suggestions and questions here.
The more demand it is, the better. Maybe a developer might get the device and start porting well known roms with native jelly bean? 4.2?
=D I don't want to come across as a leecher, I am just interested in getting to grips with rom'ing and the android way. I don't want to regret getting this device. =)

That is just it, once the dev gets the device then things get ported.
However, I will say that with the latest releases from Samsung (4.1.2 on the 9300, will be with us sooner or later) with the latest additions including Multi Window I am going to stick with the TW framework as I feel these innovations outweigh having a cleaner Android rom. Having had mine for well over a month now and using a Launcher ontop of TW I can honestly say I have not experienced any lag anywhere which is the only reason I would go for a non TW build in the first place.
Just my view, am sure others will feel differently!

That's a good point actually. But I want to be able to try different roms so i can form some sort of opinion. maybe dual boot a stock android based rom like paranoid android, cyanogenmod and a touchwiz based rom to try the note 2 multi window features.

Dual boot! Well that is a completely different ball game!

It would be really a shame if our device wouldn' get any attention. LTE technologie and 2 gigs of ram should be worth developing. I just asked teamhacksung at irc chat if there would be any developing, but the answer was no.
I really hope someone comes up with new ideas and methods (as I am a total noob at this stuff and would sadly never be able to do all the programming).
With all the customisation, kernel and stuff my old sgs1 is almost as fast, if not faster than my sgs3 LTE (apart of booting of course).

Its all timing realy, if they had released the 9305 at the same time as the 9300 then most would have opted for the 9305 but they did not and most cannot afford another handset etc... leavign our community pretty small. However the 9305 is now becoming more widely avaialble with sim free retailers starting to stock them soon so things may pick up, you never know!
We may loose out a little here but I guess all we can look farward to is that the next flagship will have the 2gb and probably LTE from the offest.
I have happily been running a ligher rom with a launcher and custom notifications etc... am happy with that, for now anyway!

Yes dont worry about teamhacksung they are in tantrum mode with samsung havent you heard? LOOL Because samsung have not released the sources as of yet. So just hope we have other devs that step on the plate if you want CM10 Which i dont like that much. Or hope samsung releases the codes,
People like cm10 cause its faster UI but have you tried the 4.2 launcher on our phone? i think it Is exactly the same speed UI as CM10 only with less options. So It doesnt take much to get the same smoothness its just that touchwiz has more animations and is much busier then Pure JB... So patience is the key now and we have to wait and see which dev decides to start working

Yeah, my I9305 lay about 2 Days, because my I9000 with the great CM-based Mackay Rom and the fantastic Semaphore Kernel are awesome in speed, look and Features. But S3 with stock not.. But after some reading, I decided to Pandoriam Rom for my S3 and it's great until now. But i miss the simple Grey cm10 Theme, a solid Kernel to set govenours/deep idle and the whole Stuff, the only 3g Option, that gorgeous lockscreen and most Voodoo sound. I hope that will come with time everything.

Considering to buy a (used) I9305 - Custom ROM support in general?!?

Dear Folks,
I'm considering to buy a I9305. Actually I wonder how well the general custom ROM support is? I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S5 (I900f) which I don't like. The phone itself is awesome but the problem is that Samsung didn't provide (any?) documentations about the phone. Therefor the only good working ROMs are the TouchWiz ones - there're a few nice ones out there, but anyway, since Samsung doesn't seem to bring Android 6 (M) to the phone it's gonna be dead soon.
People told me that it's a completely different Situation for the Samsung Galaxy S3: You've got a good custom ROM support and a lot of them work with every funtion the phone provide with almost no bugs - is it the same for the S3 LTE? Do the ROMs work well? Are there good ones (Cyanogenmod and SlimRom are my favorites)? Is it likely to have a good custom rom support with Android 6 as well?
Thank you so far!

Hey,
the easiest way to see is to check the ROM section.
It differs between the i9300 and i9305. There is more development going on for the international S3 than the LTE version. But thanks to rodman providing most lollipop ROMs for the i9305.
What's good and what's not is a matter of taste and need. But I recommend slim, resurrection remix and cyanide - the latter two are based on cm with lots of features cm is missing.
About custom ROMs and android 6 - we don't know yet if we get any ROMs. It all depends on the devs.

All right, thank you a lot! By good I mean ROMs which only have a few bugs (if any). GPS should be working as well as no extensive battery drain. I'm quite satisfied with very simple ROMs as long as they're smooth and have (almost) no bugs. That's what I'm talking about. The situation with the S5 e.g. is very bad if you want a non-TW-ROM.

GPS is working on all, battery depends on usage of course but with most ROMs you'll get through a day.
Camera is kind of a known issue. Sometimes it loses connection but I never faced such problems. Mhl is not working due to missing sources. Everything else is working with common CM bugs on cm based ROMs.

All righty mighty. That sounds kinda okay for a daily driver. The thing is I'd like to use the phone as a daily driver. If e.g. Slim Rom 5.1.1. is working nicely I've got no problem using it for another two years. I guess most Apps will be working with Lollipop in the near future.
Last but not least, 2400 Mhz is not covered which might gimme some LTE issues in germany, right?

Yeah most ROMs are totally fine for being a daily driver.
I'm not sure about LTE and its frequencies. I'm using Vodafone and have no issues.
