is there any DEVS interested in galaxy NOTE?

Hi guys
i used galaxy s & S2
i always enjoying flashing roms / kernels
there was so many options of roms / kernels... to flash
it was always so good
now i have the galaxy NOTE and there are so less DEVS less roms less kernels
its supported very low...
are there any devs here for samsung galaxy s who wants to check for the galaxy note?
greetings
first of all , if you want to develop for the note , you need a note , and many devs here don't own a gnote .

[DEV Collaboration] Galaxy Tab P1010 WIFI - Cyanogenmod - Kernel 3.0.x

Hello Folks,
I am a Recognized XDA Developer and I work on Cyanogenmod for Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 which is an exact similar device to Galaxy Tab P1010 (TI OMAP3630).
We have got fully working CM9 and CM10 on Galaxy SL, with few minor issues with video recording and laggy interface. However, we are working on porting the new 3.0.8 kernel that was released on omapzoom. This new kernel would help us resolve issues that we have been affecting ICS and JB releases.
So far, we have managed to get the kernel booting with few basic stuff like Touchscreen, Panel, Audio, Keypad, Vibrator working. Galaxy SL is exactly similar to Galaxy Tab P1010 WIFI and it essentially shares the same kernel and I suspect that most of the userspace stuff also should be the same. I was informally asked by cdesai if I was interested to develop for this device, but I had to turn my back since I wasn't really having the time for it.
However, since we are working on a new kernel for Galaxy SL from scratch, I would really like to take the initiative of making something useful for P1010 too, keeping in mind the small user base for Galaxy SL, we thought our work could be useful for P1010 and would benefit more people.
We would like developers working on P1010 to come forward and let us know the current status of development on this device (Kernels, Custom Roms, Attempts at CM, etc), so that we could plan something accordingly. Also, we would be interested to know how many people actually own this device and would like to have CM over it. Let's use this topic as a playground!

Thank you!
Let's do it people, I'm willing to help dhiru as well.
I'm in too

This is fantastic news, and thanks for considering the P1010 as everywhere else I've looked hasn't really got anywhere. While I'm afraid I won't be able to help with any of the development (I wish I could, but I'm too busy as it is), I can use my device for testing. Keep it up, and I can't wait until it's all sorted.
Personally, I'd love to have any version of CM on this tablet, as Android 2.3.6 is looking really dated now, and the interface is laggy compared to that of Android 4.1 devices. I've upgraded to CM10 on my Galaxy S and it's so much smoother than it was, I can only hope the same is possible for this device, as it's certainly capable.
Also, I know Motofoca over on the MadTeam forums was working on it (which you already know, most likely), but he's not mentioned anything towards progress in a while. I can't post a link though, considering I've got less than 10 posts, so you'll have to google it.
Any help I can give is gladly offered, now when it comes to coding I am rusty... In fact I think the rust has extra layers of rust but know what I am looking at and can spot the bugs and offer suggestions.
I have two of these and still think the actual build of them is excellent so would love to have some decent internals

Seems like there are not many who own this device. That's sad.

I'm owning a P1000 too (as per the question of the OP) and I would really like to have a current CM 10.1 release with kernel 3.0 on it... I'm a java developer with some C++ background but I didn't have the time yet to dive into android development (neither high nor low level)..
If there is anything to test or provide info about just ask..

I don't know whether this was a typo or not, but you can get CM10 or CM9.1 (stable) for the P1000 already. Just look on the cyanogenmod site for the P1. This is for the P1010 which is the WIFI only version of that tab and doesn't yet have a release of cyanogenmod for it.

Hi, I have it. I also have some experience with kernel on Omap4 (I developed for 3.0.x and 3.2.x), but very little time to share at the moment.
Please post here in this thread any update or request.
Thanks
P1010 here also. Plenty of processing power and a website for storage and distribution...

I'm also willing to test. These tabs are great, just not many developers working with them.
p1010 with cm10
Looking forward to trying their huge creations from Ecuador ... CMs for the P1010, do not let this device die. Sorry for my English, I hope this well written ..
Hello guys, I also have a P1010! maybe I can help you as a tester, I have experience with flashing and rooting

A question or two...important!

Okay so my Note 2 is sold and I am buying the S4 (I9500) tomorrow or the day after, but I was shocked after going to the Development section! There is no Android Rev HD ROM for I9500 but I9505 version is there! Why?
Also more things are available for I9505, but for I9500 very least amount of mods! Since I used ARHD on my Note 2 I never ever used any other ROM, as it was so fluid (never thought Android could be that smooth!) and never went back to stock ROM! And I hate AOSP ROMs, so if I buy I9500 my option is to stay on Stock ROM now or what?
This could well be a deal breaker for me!
The i9500 is only available in cirtain countries and is isn't very favourable to devs because of all its closed source hardware. It's why cm etc find it a lot harder to develop for. You can get really good stock based ROMs such as omega etc but due to its restricted availability you won't get as many devs for them.
Would still be a really good buy though. Give it time, as contracts get cheaper over time there should be more interest in them
@jujuburi
Hi,
Welcome to the S4 forum.
Please check out the Help Thread for the S4 in my signature.
Senior Member 123hiten had the i9500, and managed to get hold of a i9505.
You might want to talk to him about how he was able to do that.

Yup, that got to me too, unfortunately i didn't do my homework first by checking the development section. One of the main reasons is the CPU chipset, and the amount of people who own the i9505. First it is easier as i understood to work with the snapdragon than the exynos and also most people which includes developers have the i9505 and the ROMs cant work on both devices because o the chipsets.
Now about lag, you dont need to worry, I am still in stock rom rooted and there is DEFINITELY no such thing as lag....runs smooth as butter, but i was still disappointed in the lack of ROMs which I like to flash for fun.
Kids, no fighting. If you don't like something, don't complain - move on. If there is something wrong, report.
As simple as it gets

why no slim roms or no miui version?

hi developers
good bought samsung s4 thinking every other day there will be rom update
and we people can play with this great machine.
just like galaxy s2 and s3 and before launching only the thread was full of some or other things
but after approx 8 month of launching we still see just 3-4 developers who r trying there best,
just like once in a month or so with few here and theres and new versions
should we expect any new roms just like i9505
regards
Miui Will be available soon for our device now it in beta stage
And many users don't like slim roms because they use some of Samsung features that included in th Rom
And BTW
You posted your thread in wrong section

Cyanogenmod for Galaxy A800F .. Still a Dream

Waiting for this Rom since 5 months..but no luck
It's very sad to see development is going great for Galaxy A3,A5,A7 but not for the flagship A8 that doesn't even have a stable CM13 Rom till now. What might be the reason for this ?
PedroMarthon and few other people has done an excellent job by bringing CM13 for this model into existence. Much Appreciation for their work but the ROM has so many problems ( camera + dual sim card +fingerprint +sound )
But why there are very few developers for this model and why the development is very slow compared to other devices ?
This is not judging developers work or their effort but the general curiosity that why this model has very less development
This is the slimmest phone in whole Samsung's lineup yet this doesn't have that flavour of stock android experience.
How we all as a Team can gather more developers for this model and get awesome work go ?
What should be our contribution for bringing more developers to work an awesome CM13 rom ( Including Fingerprint ) with very less flaws for this model ?
The problem is that not much people are using it,as u can see,its time for you to start devlopment.
