I know at one time we had a dev for the LTE Tab but it seems Childofthehorn has abandoned the device either by choice or other workload. I've attempted to contact her to see if there was any work being done on it and was meet with no response is there any other dev that might be able to either ghost dev or is there anyone who could set up atleast 1 or 2 roms for us left out Tab users?
I would also contribute to this effort. I have a nandroid back up of completely stock rom if it would be of any help to a developer.

Why isnt there any development for this version of the tab?
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using xda premium
I would guess its because its more expensive, not as many people have it, and perhaps the LTE radio complicates it a bit (?).
jfl0wers has a custom ROM that a few of us are helping test out. Works wonderfully but auto screen rotation is currently broken (just a heads up). I linked the thread below.

Hi,
I'm trying to get some understanding of the VZ version of this tab and what it would take to build a custom rom for it.
Been playing with custom roms going all the way back to a htc g1 so I'm pretty familiar with the processes involved from the user side of things.
First a couple clarifying questions specifically about the VZ tab, is this one called 6815 or is it a 6800/6810?
If it is a 6815 as I'm assuming has there hasn't been any custom rom work done up to now? I wasn't able to find any.
What would it take to get the CM team of one of the other ****-hot dev teams to develop for this tab? Is it simply a lack of access to the hardware?
If it is lack of hardware perhaps we could join together as a community and raise some funds to support the purchase of a dedicated dev tablet. Heck I might be willing to donate my own for a time.
Thanks for any ideas / answers.

Verizon SCH-i815 the 6800 and 6810 are for the rest of the world.
The Verizon version incorporates its 4G LTE and an infrared blaster.
I would also be happy to contribute to any development on this tablet. Love the thing, but I know the potential of it with development.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 and I've been combing these forums trying to look for a solutions.
I would like to handle three way calls better on my phone. Currently there is no stock option to do this on the Sprint version of the S4 like there is on the ATT and T-mobile versions.
I used to think that this was a limitation of CDMA but it turns out this this feature works perfectly on AOSP based roms that are on Sprint. It works on CM 10.2 PAC and the Google Edition roms. But those roms have other stability issues. Therefore I would like to remain stock.
I am coming to this forum to find out if it's possible to port the in call dialer or mainly the manage conference call feature from the stock ATT S4 rom and port it to Sprint.
Or is it possible to just create a swap button like there is on AOSP roms.
Please help.
You should ask a mod to move this to the sprint s4 forums...

Yes, please move it to where it needs to go, so we can continue the conversation properly.. as i'm also wondering the exact thing that OP has questioned....
To have such an advanced phone, that is not even capable of managing conference calling (merging, splitting, hanging up on specified #'s, etc)that a flip phone, or bar phone could is pathetic.... If I knew that this was a lacking area on the galaxy s4 on sprint, I would have held off purchasing this thing... as it is after all supposed to be a phone, and contain all of the "phone-like" features.. lol.
Please help.
Please forgive me, how do I get this moved to the Sprint S4 forums? I've never had to interact with any of the mods before.
Hi all,
I am planning on buying this phone over an Xperia ZR, number one reason being software updates and development support (and because it's cheaper)
I have a few questions and if you can point me to the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
But first, please see below of what you can expect from me:
I am knowledgable in flashing ROMS, rooting, etc.
I like to read stuff, but this is the first time I've asked a question that I can read up on. Why? I'm gonna be very, very, VERY busy in my work schedule (I know, holiday season, then this) and I kinda like to be prepared first before going through flashing ROMS, etc. (Especially when I am groggy with said work schedule) I might not have time to read through dozens of threads (forums is saturated) and 20+ pages (or 200+ for that matter)
Now, on to my questions:
What is this about radios? I've had a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I've spent hours trying to get a proper modem/radio to work on my SIM (NTT Docomo, I unlocked it, sim didn't work, long story). In the end I can text and make calls but don't have 3g. Is the radios here the same?
I've skimmed the General Discussion and I saw a thread about LTE (hence my questions about radio) Can anyone tell me if it will work on my local provider? From my provider's website
Smart fired up LTE in the 2100MHz band officially making it the first multi-frequency service provider of mobile LTE in the country (Philippines) and one of the first in the world.

If I do a nandroid backup, then mess up my radio, I'm covered right?
Additional questions may pop up as answers arrive.

I've never had any trouble with the radios here on the Nexus 4. You have an OPTION to enable Band 4 LTE via some software mods but it's not necessary. Read up about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358931
Also here is a master list of radios.

You'll find everything to be very easy to set up via TWRP and the community is pretty helpful as well.

Samsung have many radios for their devices because of the many carriers. Google Nexus 4 is carrier neutral and there is only one radio version which usually gets updated with the next android version. This is the least problematic device you could get in terms of radios, unlocking boot loaders, flashing stuff and Roms and support. You are not going to experience any issues with the things you intend to do with it.

Nandroid backups do not backup the radio. There really is no need for it.

I hated the S2 with all those modems. So confusing. Luckily, you don't have to deal with that on the Nexus 4. Any modem will work on the Nexus 4 as long as it's up to date with the OS. A hybrid modem with a combination of a older modem and new modem works flawlessly.

Ah thank you all for the clarification, my Nexus 4 is two days old and already updated to 4.4.2 stock. Thank you very much XDA community!
Hey all, new Tab 4 7.0 owner here. I've only ever owned HTC EVO devices, which have a wide selection of custom everything to choose from, so empty Android/Original Development sections are a new concept for me.
From what I read, development hasn't started because we don't have a stable recovery environment yet, but assuming we get that down, what would be the main hinderances (device-specifc issues) of getting AOSP on this tablet? What can we non-developers do to help?
Thanks for all your answers!

As far as I know, we have a bit of lack of support fro Devs. We do have great Devs however some (if not most) of them don't actually own the device so they are trying to work from other devices including the Tab 3 series. Another thing is lack of tools and information from Samsung. Even though they do provide Devs with tools and info, they are a bit secretive when it comes to development of the actual OS. So that's that. What you can do is to offer to test new methods but you must accept the risks which involves Hard Bricking of the the tab. Other than that just be patient and privide any information you can give

As a contributor that works with the Tab 3 7in version, I can tell you that the Marvel cpu/board set that Samsung used on our (and your) 7in wifi versions is the main problem.
We have managed to get a version of CM 11 working, but some essentials such as wifi, bluetooth, and hardware composer are not easy with Marvel. We still have a lot of work to do and very little time to spend trying.
And the previous answer is also correct, you need more devs for the Tab 4.
