I'm going to swap my HTC One S for a Note 1... Do you guys think its a good swap? Which phone has a better processor and GPU? The main reason why I'm swapping my One S is because of the dying ROM support and I prefer huge screens. I'm a ROM Junkie and I change my ROM average once a week but my One S is starting to lose developers and not much ROMs left.
Do you guys think the Note 1 will get at least a ported Android L ROM when the official Android L releases?
Thanks so much ~
If you are a weekly flashing ROM Junkie you should know that every question here could be answered by yourself by simply reading in the forums. So start doing it.

Not really. There's no forum about Note Vs HTC One S concerning the processor and the GPU. I'm looking for personal experiences and opinions from people about the swap of my One S for a Note.
My One S had a very active forums like the Note's forums but it became inactive within a week and that can happen to Note's forums as well so this question also goes for the developers if they think they can still stick with the device and port android L when its available. There's not much questions like that here in the forums and some aren't even answered properly.
I checked the forums and I didn't get the answer I am looking for so I made my own thread.
I suggest that you shouldn't be answering if your comment doesn't help in anyway.
I've seen your comments in many other threads (I read a lot) and all I see are negative comments of you telling people to read the forums/threads.
Why not let people do what they want and just let the people with decent answers answer the question of the thread?

Hi all,
Ive been on 2 or 3 of the android threads and I dnt really understand all this jargon about kernals and stuff.
Can anyone help me out by tellin me exactly how to put android on my fone, in the simplest way.
Thank You in Advance

Touch HD : Miri v20 (Awsome stable)
Don't think it is possible (yet). The threads you have visited are development threads. I believe it is not yet fully ported, if at all possible.
I managed to use this thing called HARAT that lets me use Android, but theres hardly any features on there. No wifi, blutooth, PHONE! lol pretty pointless.
At present Android is not available for the Blackstone.
As bouvrie quite rightly stated these thread are all development threads and state 'DEV' in title. Once they have been solved, title will change to say 'SOLVED' or something similar
I currently own an Sony Xperia Play and I'm running CM 9.1. Things are pretty stable but the phone is starting to wear out and I'm butting up against the RAM/Memory limits (I have around 100 applications installed and most have to be installed to the SD card).
I was wondering what people thought about the Xperia T? Does the phone suffer from lock-up's, is CyanogenMod 9/CyanogenMod 10 stable enough for a daily driver. What is the camera like, does it boot into the camera quickly. What is the battery life like? For example the Play running stock will last ~18 hours but running CM9 it tends to last 12 hours. Has anyone seen a bluetooth gamepad/keyboard case?
I'm wondering if this is a better choice when compared to the SGS3 or the Nexus 4.

I checked the Q&A forum and saw nothing answering my questions. Can I suggest if you find noob style Q&A questions so offensive that you don't bother reading them. Only last week a bunch of my colleges were complaining about posts like yours which proliferate stack overflow
The XT is an LTE based phone, LTE is only available on T-Mobile/Orange and since VOLTE isn't supported by any UK carrier means there is a noticeable delay between answering a phone. Also there has been some suggestion that 4G will for the short term have a noticeable affect on battery life.
Your second thread spends the entire time talking about the Nexus 4 and getting a stock rom. Neither answers my series of questions. I'm interested to know what the phone is like during daily use use either with stock, CM, AOKP, etc...
I tend to avoid review sites as I find them inaccurate I would prefer to know what people who own the device think of it after using it for a while.

Well, being someone who helps out a lot, i tend to read all Q&A posts, its kinda of my job as a RC. So its annoying when threads are replicated.
My suggestion is to read the two threads I linked, and then read the CM10 thread in the dev section. Finally, as you alluded to, no review site can give you the true feeling of how a phone runs, so I must ask myself, why are you asking for a review?
Take the plunge and run the roms yourself. XDA is not a review forum, it is a dev forum. And if you and your colleagues dont like it I refer you to the rules of the forum.
Hi Steve & Greg, I don't think we have crossed before.
Rather than start to bicker, how about we try and help each other. While your specific questions may not have been asked before there is no harm in asking. The only true way of finding out what a ROM is like is to flash it and test it.
There are multiple threads within the forum answering most of the OP's questions already, just as Greg points out.
In addition to the threads Greg has quoted there is a post your pics thread and a post your battery life thread, both in General. There's also a niggles thread but I forget if it is in General or Q&A.
Combined they answer pretty much all questions asked.
To be honest though, I've personally never got much idea about which phone is best for ME from discussion threads or reviews. They often help you decide but you don't really know what the phone is going to be like without trying it for a while. In my case I couldn't be happier with my XT and would personally avoid Google's new phones due to the bleeding edge technology and the app compatibility and stability issues often associated with them for the months following their release.
Oh, and steve: it might be helpful to all concerned if you title your threads more subjectively - if everyone titled them Xperia T it would make for a pretty painful reading experience.

I'm in the UK and was on O2 (at the end of my contract) when I bought my XT SIM free, and used it for about a week before I got my new Orange SIM.
On both networks the phone has been fine and I haven't noticed any issues with delays.
I'm not on a 4G contract with Orange though so don't know about battery life.
Hey all, just wanted to ask people for their opinions because I've been thinking about something the last couple weeks. I noticed that in trying to go through the Q & A forum and answer questions for any problems people might be having, that there's no real line between what threads are for those with rooted kindles and for those on stock. It just all seems to be blending together. In one thread about wallpapers I think I saw 6 different topics (at least 4 or 5). Some were about root issus and some weren't. I saw one user post his question in 3 completely different threads in 2 different forums because he didn't know the proper place to ask. I believe it makes it really hard for anybody with problems to find anything and it also makes it harder for others to answer questions. So my question is, what do you guys think about it: how many people are confused about where to ask questions and how many are confused about the threads themselves in Q & A. I guess I'm looking for what your opinion is either way and what you think should be done about it if you do think it's confusing. Thanks guys.

I think it easy to find the right thread and when to make a new one. I do think there should be a Q and A thread for ROOTED KFHDs and one for STOCK KFHD it would make it easier for me and probably alot of other people to solve problems that way. Lastly, I think some people are new and don't know where to ask some questions. So search your topic before you post a new thread or post in a forum that has a different topic. Hope this was helpful for some people that are new or are confused.

Yeah that was kind of my general feeling about it. Just seems a bit scattered. Was trying to help one individual and I didn't know his kindle wasn't rooted with custom rom until a day and a half into our conversation. It wasn't his fault that didn't come up,I think we just both assumed the other knew what was going on. Just think like you said it would be easier to help people with questions. Just my thoughts.

Yeah makes sense to have two different threads for root users and none root users
I agree they should be seperate. Rooted and non rooted.

So since no one seems to be ranting or asking the question about this, then I guess I will. And here's why. I read earlier this past week that LG would be pushing the update for their G3. I figure with that news out there and the idea of tweaking it to work on the G2, that there would be at least a beta out there? I've looked everywhere and I haven't found anything. I'm not sure how hard an LG is to port versus an HTC but I know that there are ports from the One m7, One m8, and One Max that work on the DNA. Anyways, I'm not trying to *****. I'm just curious as to why there isn't anything out yet? I'm ready to test drive the new 5.0 and I don't really like the nexus devices, nor do I have the money to go buy one out right. I'm just really wondering if anyone is even working on this or waiting for it to hit and then will start working on it??
1. I don't think you're allowed to post questions in development forum, ROMs only.
2. The G3 update is not as easy to port as you think as we're missing a kernel. The problem is even more complicated with the Verizon model because we don't have a CDMA Nexus model to base it on. Porting to GSM model can use some help from the existing Nexus 5 kernel. That's what I think.
Well.. I believe that someone(s) is working on a port for the G2. I'm sure that since they're doing it for free and in their spare time, they will release one when they have a "Good, Safe to Flash" version. Since I'm not a developer of any sort and just a very grateful user of their work.. I will continue to wait patiently until they see fit to release it. If I get tired of waiting then I will probably learn how to make one myself. That way I can have it when I want it.

First and foremost, this is in the wrong section, as stated before. This is not a Q&A forums (see sticky) and at 100 posts, you should know this.
Tim from ose and reven from liquid smooth along with eight other people, two being members working on cm are building cm12 for us.
Twice now it has been leaked, resulting in two broken builds, and doing nothing more then pissing off the guys working on it. It will come when they have it stable.
What? There is no lollipop port for the dna.
Please note the sticky at the top of the Dev forum going forward...
Sticky: ★ ☆ ✰ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting do not go in the Development Section. ✰ ☆ ★
You know I get that everyone isn't trying to be rude about my posting in the wrong section but I'm sorry it came across rude. Yes I have 100 posts or more. However I didn't read the sticky at all because in my opinion of I or someone else should have a root question there isn't a real section for it that is easily noticed called Root: ask your questions here. So I'm personally going to go to the section labeled development and for my carrier and ask those questions. Maybe my brain is wired wrong in the way but to me it seems like common sense. Anyways, I'm done with my polite rant. I appreciate the responses for the information they gave me. I'll just sit back and wait I suppose. I could always play with stuff on my DNA.
@CoyotesFan4Evr
Yeah, I dunno. There's a general Q&A and a Verizon specific Q&A and you're asking a question, so I don't know why it doesn't click.
The reason why you don't ask questions here, is because it would bog the entire forum down with questions versus Roms, and this place is for roms.
I get why I shouldn't have asked my question here. That part clicks just fine mostly anyways. Where it run up on the issue is that it says general questions. I'm a member on another forum and you don't ask general questions about a rooted phone in a section like that. There is a section called all things root for that type of question asking. So I hope the logic of why I asked on this part of the forum makes sense. But for the future I won't post in the wrong section anymore.
Honestly dude just be patient. Some of the Nexus devices are only just now getting the update, and it's going to be a little while longer before we see anything. CM12 is being worked on and we'll get a G3 port a little while after Lollipop hits the G3. I'm foaming at the mouth for L just as much as anyone else, but these things take time.
If you really want to try it out, there's an early CM12 build in the regular Android development forum. It runs but has some bugs on all versions. It's really nice outside of that.
How do I enable WiFi?
Haha, just ****tin' you.
Hello, considering it is now almost mid-2017 anyone that's rooted what do you consider to be the most stable feature filled ROMs available for this device (SM-N910T3)and is a different kernel needed? thank you!
OK well I will take the utter silence I'm getting for my a response to my question to mean :
A) Everyone in the Q&A section is UNrooted and on Stock TW.......(eww)
OR
B)Most people who own this older device don't really check the development forums for it much anymore....
OR
C)Most people who have just bought this device (like myself) or have owned it forever are jumping back and forth betwixt and between a bunch of ROMS with each one offering its own set of errors/problems/unhappiness and are also seeking the answer that I seek.
I KNOW its not because you're just too lazy to type the name of your current ROM/Kernel, I just know its not...
