I was wondering the possibility of porting SGS3 software features on Note? I know devs will look into it once the SDK is released or a Stock Rom is out.
Considering some hardware similarities, i think some features can be ported

so maybe sooner it will be fullu ported on G1? or is this fake?
honeycomb is for tablets not phones
it's true it can be ported to phones, but why port it to g1? it is likely that many of the features that make honeycomb what it is are just incompatible or not practical.
Serious rom devs won't try porting hc to g1
The bin mixers will try and end up with a laggy, feature broken rom.
if you want hc on your g1 look at the existing ports
if you want a real hc experience buy a tablet
no doubt a bin mixer/bin mixer fan boy will come along and tell me I'm stifling development
I'll tell them now that they have no clue
With the release of the S-PEN SDK, does that mean AOSP based roms will become a reality? I'm sure any AOSP based roms may not work properly for the GNote because of the S-PEN, so does the SDK solve this?
Much more interesting is the question, if the S-Pen or generally the pen implementation Samsung has gone for is compatible with the Ice Cream Sandwich implementation and therefore future proof or if they went their completely own way and ICS wont bring anything good to the Note except equipped with Sammys proprietary tools...
Jeez, is this really one single huge sentence? I'm afraid it is.

I was really wondering the same thing, but in a different way.
The current Touchwiz builds all have issues with playing music in A2DP stereo.
This is caused by low bitpool settings, which are compiled into their proprietary bluetooth stack.
This could all be fixed by using an AOSP-based kernel (and thus bluetooth stack).
I'll be honest, I would prefer vanilla ICS, but I would be happy to skin Touchwiz ICS, provided they at least fixed the BT issue.
Another way of asking a similar question is if cyanogenmod plans on integrating the S-pen into CM9 for the Gnote.
The current answer seems- maybe after Touchwiz ICS is released... maybe
The currently existing very early build of CM9 seems to be supporting the pen. Of course no proprietary Samsung software like S-Memo and such is integrated, but the hardware works, I once read in the thread. I didn't follow the thread though and I believe it's rather quickly growing

Have you tried it personally? I seem to remember it being stated that CM9 would categorically not support it, however ICS natively supports pen input.
I also heard that if it did support, would not be pressure-sensitive without the Spen SDK
No I didnt try it personally but I still strongly believe an overview was given and the S-Pen functionality was mentioned working.
I'll check the thread out though once I find time to do so, I'm quite interested to know, really.

I understand that the hidden band select menu on Samsung devices (accessible by a star code) is a TouchWiz feature and not from stock Android.
So I was just wondering - are there any ICS or higher ROMs available for the Galaxy Exhibit that still have a functional hidden menu with band select options? Presumably this means the ROM would have to be based on porting ICS TouchWiz from another device rather than being AOSP-based.
Thanks!
im going to say no...all roms ics or higher are aosp based
OK fair enough. I just know that on HTC devices for example, you often see ports from newer devices to older, e.g. Incredible S ROM ported to the Desire HD. So I wondered if something similar had happened yet on the Exhibit.
the problem with that here is there isnt a device with close enough software with a newer version os to port from
There are some lower end newer Samsung devices with ICS such as the Ace 2. But yeah I guess it'd depend how similar the hardware is.

Having been burned in the past by lack of drivers & resources for different devices, I started to wonder about the future of our Nook tablets.
I don't know anything about software and/or Android development so have no idea what is required to develop these ROMs.
Since the stock ROM runs on ICS and current development is on JB, are the drivers compatible?
Also, what about Android 4.3 (Key Lime Pie) and Android 5.0? When it is release by Google, would lack of stock ROMs be a hindrance to aftermarket development?
What exactly is needed by developers to create a (mostly) stable ROM for our Nook HD tablets & Android devices in general?
I hope someone with more knowledge than I possess can answer some of these queries.
Thanks.
IMO, my HD+ is pretty dang stable right now. I think the fact that the stock ROM is ICS-based helps a lot. Going forward, who knows? Hard to speculate, but with a solid kernel and that handles the devices capabilities, i think we should be good for a while.
Hey everyone. I was just wondering if anyone ever thought of porting Android 4.4 to the Xperia X1. I've heard that they were able to port it to the Xperia Tipo, a low-end device. They say Google did a great job on the update that it might just run a little faster on low-end devices. I'm going to try and port it myself using this guide I found on the internet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284985, but I'd rather wait for someone with the experience.
By the way, what device should I do the port from?
