S3 in canada and ROMs

So I'm trying to consider whether I will purchase the International version or the LTE Canadian version...
I know that in terms of the processor's, quite frankly, they are identical for performance, with the LTE having better cores but the International having 4, so this isn't exactly a problem of "which is better"..
What I'm curious about, is how easy/likely are ports of ROMs and Mods going to be from the international version to the LTE version? Because quite frankly even if the Canadian version is outright better I want some dev support.. :/
What do you guys think? Same dilemma as with the HOX intn'l vs LTE ><

I will take LTE speeds and the 2 GB memory...

No yeah they seem awesome and the CPU will perform pretty much identically, but I really like the dev community the HTC Desire Z had and I want something similar :/

There probably wont be many ports of international roms if any at all. Though, if the Canadian and US versions are the same that will certainly bring more to the lte version in the way of development.
I'm getting the international version version for several reasons.

Look at the one x american dev and you'll get your answer D: no love from devs for S4 based phones....

Well i mean it does have over 60 thread on it ! That's not too shabby.. I want a way to get the phone cheap but there's no way bell will carry the international version i may just have to wait for the next nexus.. *sigh* this coulda been cool haha, expecting as much development as the s2

Will these roms work on the sprint gs4?

Will the roms in this forum work woth the U.S. sprint model of the gs4?
Also what is the model name for the sprint gs4 so I know what to look for when looking for compatible roms (I.g. my current tmo note 2 is called T889)?

You'd be better off waiting until there is a Sprint subforum. That forum will have everything that is for the sprint version. I'm not sure what the model number is, I haven't really searched for it.

It will be SPH-L720

Yeah thats what I figured. I assume these roms are for the international version with the eynos octa 5

Your correct the international roms wont work on any of the U.S. s4s varients. Qualcomm vs. Exynos roms are incompatable. The qualcomm version already has development started.

There will be a subforum not now but very soon.

Doing prep work for CM on the L720. Hopefully will get something going early to mid next week. (Rough probably but still moving forward)

[POLL] SM-N900W8/Canadian Variant Note 3 users want our own forum!

Dear Mods,
I know I'm not alone when I say this, but we would like our own forum for our Canadian variant of our device. As our device is significantly different from other variants, and nobody likes specific projects for N900W8 to be jumbled along with ROMs for N900 or N9005 (as they can't be installed on a W8 device without major issues), I would like to start a poll to gather people who would like a clean forum, not a forum with three different variant's ROMs jumbled up together that aren't cross flashable.
Also asking questions and finding solutions is easier when the entire forum uses the same device, so a solution for the specific device is much more convenient in the same forum!
Also go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46446026&postcount=11600 to like my post and also post a quick reply saying you want the N900W8 as well!
Thanks a lot!
Nicholas

Please!!

This sure would make things a lot easier that's for sure...especially once things really get going with development and once our phones have roms released

I agree with this idea!

Yes please !

Another yes. It's always been jumbled together with AT&T and then i have to manual filter to find items that are applicable.

+1 On this. Right now I'm reading on different sub forums to find out which model my phablet actually is compatible with.

Agreed we need our own forum since the cross flashing as seen with s3 and s4 arent going to apply with N3 so it would seem.
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda premium

flashing Roms even from other versions of the same model don't work. We definitely need our own board.

Just be aware that it looks to not be compatible with any if the ones with their own forum as of yet....maybe with custom roms or a custom installer but not now

Short answer is no...
We just don't want to be lumped into the U.S.A providers.

It's because the model from bell also has w8, so was thinking maybe all Canadian models are the same

Bell/telus..rogers/fido probably.
Wind runs on diff frequencies. ..people on wind dont even get LTE. having this phone and no lte is like having a ferrrari but you cant take it out of first gear!
At the very least wind users will need to flash another baseband to run a rogers or bell ROM

I'm just wondering, would it be possible to eventually kind of convert the Canadian Note 3 variant into an American variant? I don't think I've read about any hardware differences between the two variants. Also, I can't imagine there would be too much development for just the Canadian Note 3 alone (or has there been an active developer community for Canadian devices previously?).

For your information, the Galaxy S4 have his own section in the forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2257
As you can see, there is plenty of roms and folks exchanging informations, tips and bugs for the same device, which make sense for me

Just remind every one, not only Canadian is using N900W8, N900W8 is a very large group. Mexico, Many South America country is using N900W8 too.
Plz develop this model phone.

I think that is because at&t is SGH-i337 and rogers/bell is SGH-i337M; T-mobile is SGH-M919, Wind is SGH-M919V.
But now the model name is big difference, dont know if the hardware has different or is bootloader lock or not difference.

Yeah that's why there's a / in the title too
That raises a question too. Is the Wind version of W8 actually the same as the Robellus W8? Even though numbers match up, we won't know till we can compare the stock ROMs with each other.

I have one, but I own the E330S variant from SK Telecom, it's just so smooth since I just switch from the international Note 2 N7100
Can't wait to see the Dev's working on this awesome beast of a device
So far, I'm still content with the standard ROM, although it's packed with the Korean carrier's bloatware..
Just now I see in SamMobile there's already the 4.3 update for the SHV-E330S, but I'm still waiting from you guys for news concerning the development of this device...

Good day. I am planning on buying but i heard that the only models available at local samsung stores
are the wifi only p600 ones and only 16gb. I want a 32gb model but i am not sure if local samsung stores will ever release it in
the country. Where did you buy yours? What model, price and storage capacity?

If you want 32 gb probably you can buy at the online retailer like kimstore they sold 32 gb lte version but they dont have samsung warranty i guess well 16 gb is good enough for a moderate gamer just add a 64 gb microsd card

Of course you're welcome here, it's the internet! The only reason I see for this thread being exclusive for Philippines is difference in hardware or accessories availability in that particular region that may not benefit others from reading posts here. So far I have not seen anything on this thread relevant to a specific region. But if this thread were to exclude anyone who is not Filipino, then that's just silly. The Philippines and its people are known to be very friendly and hospitable to all ethnicity. Just be prepared if no one bothers to explain any cultural differences because it would be assumed everyone here knows what is being talked about, for example:
1. Can I change my tablet to wake up by saying "Hoy!" instead of "hi Galaxy!"?
2. My wife gets mad at me when I use my tablet while we're eating dinner. She says it's too hard to clean the rice off the display. (some Filipinos prefer to eat with their hands)
3. My wife got mad at me for cursing at the tablet in front of the kids. I was only using voice search for Manny's next fight! (Pacquiao, some Filipinos can't pronounce the letter F, so F*** you could sound like Pacquiao)
By the way, I'm not racist, I'm FBI. Full Blooded Ilokano.

My wife hates my tablet compared to her iPad. She says my S-Pen is so small, whenever she drops it on the floor she can't pick it up with her toes.

Don't worry about anything, this is a good thread. I've got a 32 gb, P-605 bought from Hong Kong.I love the snapdragon variant than the exynos version. I have to change the ROM though. Is this available in the Philippines? How much?
