Hi,
I'll be getting the Note 4 as soon as the gold color arrives to my region as there is only black and white right now, I just wanted to know what version is officially supported by XDA Devs is it the Exynos or Snapdragon version??
Snapdragon will most likely receive more dev support
I reckon it will be the Snapdragon. Lots of devs had a hard time with the Exynos. Try searching on the Galaxy S2 and Note forums.
Thanks for the replies guys...I guess i'll go with the Snapdragon version then

I remember reading awhile ago an interview with one of the CM developers saying that he's sick of samsung not updating/releasing their exynos codes and as such he stopped develpoing for samsung devices.
As i'm looking to upgrade my s2 to a new phone I'm wondering if we'll see better support from samsung for the developers this time.
any thoughts?
two words- ignore exynos

i9505 is a much better choice if you want the stock Android experience. Don't know if you missed it, but Google are launching a Google Edition of the S4(SD600 version), which means it'll be much better supported than the i9500.
yeah just a shame that the exynos version is the only version you can buy in some country's(mine included)
would be much easier buying that one over the GE one!
check areas of custom rom, there more for exynos.
lol I got the qualcom version. haven't seen exynos version is that the I9500 ?

Exynos version is i9500 (plus I believe one Korean version and one Chinese version). Which so far has no CM/AOSP support whatsoever. All of the former Exynos CM maintainers have stopped working with Samsungs, leaving only those who worked with Snapdragon-based Samsungs (of which there were quite a few...) still working on Samsung devices. So far not a single person with a track record of doing good CM bringups/maintenance has stated their intention to touch the Exynos variant.
Snapdragon versions are I9505, I337, M919, not sure what the Verizon and Sprint versions are. M919 got CM support from Cyanogen himself within a day or two of launch, and all other Snapdragon versions are just needing maintainers. Of the Snapdragon versions, the I9505 seems to be getting the least attention. (Except for maybe the bootloader-locked I337...) But the I9505 can leverage M919 and other Snapdragon work, the Exynos version stands on its own, sharing nothing with any other device.

some people are trying port cm to exynos but with no samsung support must be painful, samething happen with gs3
Anyone might have a clue as to when the galaxy note 3 exynos version will get cyanogenmod ?
Thx
Never, sorry bro. I'm in the same boat

S4 exynos did get cm , but that was ages after cm11 for qualcomm s4 came out.
You might wanna ask devs in i9500 forum for help
Exynos devices exhibit Samsung's greatest disdain for developers. Samsung goes well out of their way to be a PITA by using crappy KNOX in the bootloader and everywhere else. Also the Exynos devices aren't sold in great numbers and not sold at all in North America so many devs don't want (or can't) to take the time on a rare device.
It's too bad bc I see them going on ebay for $350-ish.
to all devs samsung released note 4 in two models exynos and snapdragon so what is the most poweful model and devs will be buy cause alot of people are hesitate ?
Snapdragon.
Dev support has always been much larger for the Snapdragon.
If you want dev support, DO NOT BUY AN EXYNOS DEVICE.
Hey all,
Finally upgraded from Galaxy S3 international to Note 4 SM-910C.
Was running cyanogenmod 11 on the S3 for a year and have never been more please with a mobile device.
now however with this new phablet, I'm hoping to achieve great things. Saying goodbye to RAM troubles and forgetting what cpu clocking is all about in general.
Was happy to experiment with the S3 as there were hundreds of roms available and endless tutorials on how to install etc. Now I'm not so worried as it's all quiet simple. But have noticed there isn't really much out for note the note besides lollipop on CM 12 and exposed.
Hoping any updates on new stable roms could be added here and I'll be sure to post anything when I hear about any new ones. Your time is highly appreciated
so basically, what's new and what's good? .
thank you
Well fabiolus..
Good and bad news, exynos has no custom roms. The sm n910c is an exynos and that means so far nada..
But the S3 was an exynos chipset too, and look at how many roms there are for that..
Keep your fingers crossed.. if there is nothing by next year I'll probably develop one myself!

Exynos does have custom roms and same mods as snapdragon only CM12 for the snapdragon variant but development will pick up for Exynos once s6 drops

Yea, been sniffing around and so it seems development will pick up eventually.
So far came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sweet-rom-v2-nj4-4-4-4-t2923953
For the exynos variant.
But still a bit skeptical, will hang on till my warranty expires then see what selections are available

Some more custom roms for exynos varient

or you could just look here
So I'm thinking of buying a used Note 3 because my old Note 2 died and I have a few questions. (Please answer them in order)
1)What are the different versions of the Note 3 (IK that the 4G is the snapdragon model and the exynos model is the normal note 3, am i missing something?)
2)Is there still support for both of the models?
3)Which model has better development support?
4)Does the Exynos model have AOSP support or only TW?
5)Is there any ROM for the Exynos model with S6 and/or Note 4 features?
Thanks a lot in advance!
1- there are many. But yes these 2 are main.
2- from sanmsung? Barley. Devs? All you want.
3- SM-N9005
4-both i think
5-look at development forums for note 3 and you will see.
I recommend snapdragon SM-N9005 due to better dev support here. Some great custom roms it has here.

Thanks! I'm happy that the community still cares about this device! I will try to get the snapdragon version but I would love if more people answered my questions so i can learn the opinions!
1- There are two versions only, hardware wise. Snapdragon and Exynos. But there are probably a zillion version for US carriers, about which I have least interest. In any case, all of them have either SD or Exynos.
2- Snapdragon, yes, Exynos, very minimal. But yes, it's great to see that some new stuffs are cooked for this old champ. But I don't think people will be interested in Note 3 for any longer, as soon as Note 5 goes official, you can think support will be near nil.
3- Snapdragon.
4- As far as I have noticed, I think there is CM for Exynos devices, don't take my word for it though.
5- No idea.
In short, get the Snapdragon version if you can.
1) The main two versions are the Snapdragon (N9005) and Exynos (N900) variant. Everything else is one of those two for a different region or provider.
2)From Samsung, the usual. (meaning, barely.). From the devs here at XDA, plenty.
3) Snapdragon always has better dev support.
4) no idea.
5) no idea, either. Sorry.
Technically the N9005 4G is the 'normal' device. Or international, or whatever they're calling it this week. This is due to the majority of the countries now having 4G. (it was the other way around 5 years ago.) The N900 3G Exynos was meant for lower-level markets that don't have 4G yet.
Keep in mind that the Snapdragon device comes with an Adreno, and the Exynos has a Mali gpu. As well as the Snapdragon having 2.3gHz, and the Exynos a meagre 1.9gHz processor. So if you intend to game on it, Adreno/Snapdragon is the way to go.
Always go for the Snapdragon version if you have the option.
