I was wondering if there will be a dedicated Galaxy Tab Plus forum anytime soon. I figured that since there is a dedicated forum for different Galaxy S versions (Captivate, Vibrant, Galaxy S, etc) it´s only natural that the same will happen to tablets...as I suppose they are all slightly different and will employ different roms, mods and such.
As has been said before, this is not something we have control over.
Go here and post voting for the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and then you might have a chance.

I changed from Samsung Galaxy S2 to Samsung Galaxytab 7.7 3G.
In xda-developers forum there are many Roms (Custom and Stock) for the S2 but only a few for the Galaxy Tab 7.7.
What is the reason for this?
Will there be more roms if ICS for Galaxy Tab 7.7 is out?
I dont understand why there are only a few roms for this really great TAB
I think because it is such a new product and also development is focussed on ICS and there is a fair amount of work to port from CM9 from other devices and build a working rom with no issues.
It is close though! I can't wait.
The custom tweaked and stock v3 is soon to be released and if anything like v2 it will be even better and run very well.
Lets support our devoted devs!!!
The answer probably is:
GS II sold a ton of devices (10 millions at least) and was brought to Us early
GT 7.7 is selling few devices and in Us came only trough verizon few time ago

This past week, I noticed a dramatic decrease in forum activity. Perhaps many have already jump shipped to the N4. Whatever the reason, I hope there is still significant development and support until the new S4 is released. It was a short and sweet run as the best Android device. :crying:
Stop the drama.
Reported, activity is as usual.
Yeah noticed this also S1 & S2 forum's was significantly more active and still are to some degree than the S3 one.
Think it's down to a number of factors ie variations of the S3 doesn't help, alot jump ship to the LTE version when that was release, plus the Galaxy Note 2 & now the Nexus 4 as you said.
The Galaxy I9300 is no longer the top dog of smartphone, so intrest isn't there as much as past Galaxy Smartphones.

Well said...
I remember the days when i had a Galaxy S1 and the forums were crowded!
It had countless roms and kernels!Not that we don't have enough here but there's no comparison...
I jumped ship from an I9300 to N7100.
The only thing I regret not having is the activity on the forum!
That... and Siyah dualboot!
All these freaking model variations are just gonna ruin everything because if you an early adopter maybe 2 months later another model with more Ram comes along and obviously everyone wants that and it has 10 months to build up a bigger scene and kill off any work done on the original.
I mean I was almost certain I was gonna get the S4 on release day but now things aren't as black & white as they where for S1 & S2.

Officially the "S5 prime" isn't a S5 model at all. according to Samsung at least. We all know it is a derivative model though. No dedicated subform here. As the phone has now been designated an Asian market only phone, pretty much everything is in Chinese or Korean. There is a thread dedicted to the prime here (just do simple search for it) that tabulates what is available for the model. The last I looked it was just rooting methods plus a few semi-custom Chinese ROMs.
As a niche model limited to China and Korea; and with it's own firmware path and incompatible drivers we probably won't see a wealth of custom ROMs for it. More likely you will see a 900H type path with very little development simply because most developers won't own the variant.
.
oic... this variant specs is pretty awesome though.. the galaxy s5 should have had these specs in the first place!

Agreed. But Samsung took the safe, conservative way out and didn't break much real new ground with the S5. They just refined the S4 and added more apps. More to the point, amongst all the rumours of a S5 Prime model, Samsung blatantly lied and told us categorically that there would be no forthcoming S5 prime model, to boost initial S5 sales. They didn't want people holding off in wait for the Prime version.
That created a lot of anger and outrage when the deception was revealed. And a lot of us suspect that the S5 Prime was originally planned for wide release, but to save face was subsequently designated as an Asian market only handset. At the very least, it was criminal that Samsung released the original S5 with a 16 GB ROM in NA and less RAM than the existing N3. Criminal because the S5 was supposedly the flagship device, but the marketing people new thought that they could get away with the inferior specs.
.
And as another nail in the coffin of the so called S5 Prime gaining wider distribution.. Samsung just announced (earlier today) a Note 3.5 model. If you look at the specs, it's really the S5 Prime with a 5.6" screen positioned as an intermediate Note model.
Obviously a face saving move allowing them to continue the charade that the S5 Prime was never intended for worldwide sales. The new model is being called the Note Edge and makes it even less likely that you will see many custom ROMs for the "S5 Prime".

The note 4 has the same specs as the G906 (S5 "Prime", which is a Korea only model)... So maybe other than the S Pen it'll have similar hardware.... But who knows till we see a ROM!
Besides that Miscom has made a custom ROM for it (G906), just with root and a bit of de-bloating. It is super fast on it, so I'm not sure what you want from a custom rom.

Please explain how the S5 "Prime" is gaining wider distribution.
The Note edge is more than just a 5.6 inch S5 Prime. Have you seen it's defining software features? With what you're saying, this applies to the G3, M8, Find 7, Z2 and Z3 and pretty much most of the flagship devices coming out this year. The Note Edge and Note 4 are completely different devices to the Note 3 and S5 Prime, unless of course you are just looking at what brand chipset it has and how it has the iconic Galaxy design.

I wouldn't call it a Prime model, I would call it a region specific model. Aren't those two exclusive to South Korea and parts of Europe?
do you guys any chinese/korean forums where there are custom roms for the samsung galaxt s5 prime? I can get a prime for almost the same price as the galaxy s5 .. but I am hesitating because of the lack of roms

U can go to the S5 Android development forums you'll get both root and ROM from Miscom for your Samsung galaxy S5 prime SM-G906K/S/L
Hi all..
As you may be able to tell I'm new here. After looking around the Note 4 area of the forums, I've noticed that it is full of Custom ROMs and Kernels, which is great as I'm planning on buying one in a couple of months. What I haven't seen, however, is a whole lot of Dev support for the Galaxy S5 G901F, my current phone. This is baffling me somewhat, as the phones are almost identical inside minus the 3GB RAM of the Note. What is even more odd is that after comparing my G901F to two Note 4 Snapdragons in work today, I noticed that my G901F gave them both a kicking in Antutu Benchmark (50300 for G901F, 47900 for Note 4).
With such similarities between the G901F and the Note 4 Snapdragon, why is it that the Note 4 is being so fully supported by Devs? I thought I'd post it in the Note 4 section as this is theoretically where anyone with the knowledge to answer that will reside.
This wasn't intended as a question but it seems I ticked the box. Could a mod fix it? Cheers.
Hope someone can help
Note is a better and more capable device. Most who try, never go back.
The Note 4 is much more popular.

That's exactly it. Devs only tend to support a phone they own. If there's not many people own your device then there is little support. A lot of note 3 owners were complaining that the eteam released dn4 for the note 2 and not the n3 saying it was an outdated device. The simple answer is none of the eteam owned a note3
Hi Guys In This Thread We Will Talk About The Official Oreo Update For Note 5
Any one knows any new news
Kindly post it :good:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung-galaxy-android-8-o-update
The weird thing For Now That They Put the Galaxy s6 in (These Galaxys may or may not get Android 8.0) category
And You can see in gsm arena they that galaxy s6 is planned To be Upgraded .
But They put The note 5 in (These Galaxys will not get Android 8.0) category
And If you asked me why I’m talking too much about galaxy s6 and the connection between it and the note 5 i find the answer pretty obvious ,
actually if you compare the hardware between them you will find that they have the same Chipset and the same CPU and the same GPU !!!!!
So You Can Say It’s Not A Hardware issue .
If oreo will not come to note5 and came for s6e then the devs will port it for note5

From Sammy firmware, like S8, S9 and Note 8, the problem are the kernel and libs, bur more for this last; And from AOSP, someone make a build and share in this forum.

I hope , but it will be a stupid move from Samsung
Accordoing to me , Samsung won't give Oreo to Galaxy S6. Because it have taken two major upgrades.
We can only wait for Galaxy A8 (2016). But on the other hand, it's not a flagship device. So, maybe Samsung will give Oreo to Galaxy A8 (2016).
There is no hope for me.
It's a joke not to update at least the s6 and note 5.
Especually since people went two years nearly with the note 4 and 5 being the only notes. And Samsung didn't give either of them justified updates making up for that fact.
Its not Samsung though. Sadly all companies are like this. Google is pretty much no better. And the only ones that give any more have weak uis in comparison.
And anyone claiming about i phones getting updates is clearly too niave to speak on the matter
Note 5/S6 Edge will receive at least 7.1.1. For Example Note 4 start with 4.4.4 and received 5.0.1>5.1.1>6.0.1=3 updates. Note 5 start 5.1.1 and receive 6.0>7.0=2. Next between android 7.0 and 8.0 are not much changes. So why no called 7.5? Maybe merketing and full of numers are reserved only for the newest devices.
This is why I'll never get a Samsung phone ever again. They are only supported for 2 Android versions, the software sucks, lack of support for Exynos cpu.
I've been impressed with the Xiaomi's I've used. The screens are not as good as Samsung. But even Samsung's screens are not good compared to LG.
