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.

This can go in the general thread.
Scott (scrosler) had the best Note 2 stock rom by far; tweaked to perfection, stable as hell, and everything just worked great. He's started working on an ATT Note 3 version now, and I couldn't be more excited! Figured other people here would be interested to know what's coming as well!
Can't link to the post, but it's on his forums (google it) saying that he's started work recently.
Can't wait I was running that rom when I had the note 2

Scott (scrosler) did make that CleanRom the best thing that had come out for the Note 2. it was clean simple and easy to install.
I really can not wait until he comes out with one for the Note 3 for AT&T. I now have something great to look forward to hopefully soon when this gets released.
Thread cleaned,
Stay on topic, keep things respectful when you post, or get out...
Final warning in here folks.
I am excited about this news! Been using Scotts rom for a while now
SUB'D
I'm getting my Note 3 on Monday. Even with the S5 coming soon I really miss the functionality of my old Note 2 when I was with Sprint.
I agonized over it but I need my stylus back. I see no reason to wait for the S5 as the size and the stylus and apps is the important thing for me. I got so much use out of that. And this rom was perfect for me so can't wait see it!
Hey Guy,
I have a friend that works for the mobile division of BestBuy and he saw an email that Samsung sent them that says Lollipop should be released within a few days. The email doesn't specifically give that information but he says it shows instructions on how to update the demo devices to Lollipop and how to reinstall the retail demo software after the update. He said usually those kind of emails are sent within days of the actual updates which would mean that most of the units on demo (Note 4, S5, Alpha and possibly Note 3) should be getting 5.0 within a few days. This update affects DEMO units which are not carrier branded which could mean, as usual, some carriers might keep that update for testing until they are comfortable it is fully compatible with their network.
This is good news for us, as Samsung has already started pushing Lollipop to some European countries.
I say mid February
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Possible, depending on the carrier. I think T-mo pushes the updates quite quickly
The T-Mobile Note 2 I had earlier was still on Jelly Bean. Is Lollipop coming to T-Mobile Note Devices anytime soon?
Find this with a quick Google search.

It's verified that it's coming in Jan. It was verified to a mod, so it's pretty safe to rely on the information.

Lol I read it and when he edit he stated that it is not verified by Samsung lol. Even if Samsung releases it in jan Tmobile still has to bloat it up. So I say may now. Or may e the note 5 will be out first. Lol

I'll be crossing my fingers that a miracle happens and things do indeed roll out in January, lol
What's the purpose of waiting for an OTA? I get too excited to update if there is no reason to update and I have a stable ROM (Unless the ROM I use updates).

I dont think its about waiting for OTA, i think its about knowing more or less when our fav rom will make the jump to 5.0
I read the galaxy s5 will get lollipop first early January, note 4 "soon after".
It's real, but I don't think the note 4 will be the first to get it, and honestly as rude as this sounds, I don't care when other Samsung devices get it, I want it on my note 4! Official with everything working. Hopefully January

The S5 rollout started end of november. Note 4 should follow shortly as more and more leaks videos come out
I actually work at Best Buy. I'll see what I can dig up when I go to work tomorrow.
got to be earlier than march I mean by then we should be expecting another upgrade.... lol
I think by the mid or end of this month./
Like stated above...I could care less when the official update is released. I just want to know my roms will be updated.

It's funny how several people can read the same articles and interpret it VERY differently. Samsung has announced THEY will be rolling out Lollipop...this means unbranded devices. Then one of the articles uses words regarding US carriers as "could" and "as early as January" adding the disclaimer that the carriers will do whatever they want regarding testing and timelines. So before you all continue fighting over vaporware, research all the articles on KitKat and Jellybean that all had the same wording, people still posting "We will haz JB tomorrow" and then the US carriers releasing an OTA 2 months later. Granted Sprint and T-Mobile are usually the firsts in the US carrier line because they do not have to worry about unlocking and relocking a bootloader without bricking devices on an OTA....so rather than fight...just wait...be patient for that new Knox loaded Lollipop update.
I will be cleaning the disrespectful posts from this thread and expect those who posted in such a manner to accept this as an official warning...do not do so again!

Oh dear, it looks like this time the AT&T guys are making us try patience, but you know this isn't the AT&T this is sammy guys who decides what goes first and may be they are not so keen on updating our beloved note 3. But don't be heart braked too because they sometimes give surprises tooooooooo.
5.1.1

I asked that question on the ATT Community forum and was told that the Note 3 and the S4 are not on the upgrade list. Meanwhile the much older Galaxy Nexus (2012?) is getting Marshmallow I heard today.

I think that they were saying that a ROM like Cyanogen was being developed so the Galaxy Nexus could get Marshmallow

Actually the Galaxy Nexus did not come up on the ATT forum thread. It was pointed out that the Note 3 and the S4 (unlike the S5 and newer) would never see 5.1.1 . I was hoping to get better battery life with the 5.1.1 upgrade. I actually ordered the Nexus 6P twice then cancelled the order twice but I am definitely attracted to the idea of fast updates and long-lasting eligibility for upgrades offered by owning a Nexus device.

I was going to get the 128 gig version but kept getting cold feet due to the fact that it has the Snapdragon 810 processor. If it had the not yet released Snapdragon 820, I think I would stop cancelling my order.

It seems like they are not interested in doing such thing yet, as far now the Samsung has issued a roadmap of the devices receiving or expected to receive Marshmallow update in near future and unfortunately Our beloved Galaxy Note 3 is not in the list. See this http://www.gsmarena.com/alleged_samsung_marshmallow_update_roadmap_leaks-news-15023.php
The Note 3 has been sunseted. Meaning no more updates. They were never going to release any updates above 5.0. on the Note 3.
The sad thing is because of this, I am done with buying another Samsung phone or tablet!
I just read they have sent 5.0 out to the note 3. You can also manually download and install through odin.

I was looking at the Galaxy S5 forums when I came across this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/bootloader-unlock-coming-soon-t3271883
This is coming from @firewaterdevs on Twitter from which they have provided this document: http://theroot.ninja/disclosures/TRUSTNONE_1.0-11282015.pdf
According to the document, this affects the Note 4. There's even an XDA article on it here: http://www.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5-bootloader-has-been-unlocked/
As well as the video proof of concept that firewaterdevs put on their Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCibUxoagiM
So... should we be hopefully excited?

I don't know about hopefully excited, but possibly cautiously excited with a side of hopeful.:fingers-crossed::silly:
Im scared to view the links. Id hate to get hopeful for nothing. I own a verizon note 4 but Im still paying $100 a month to rent a center for theirs because its a TMO version. God I hope something positive is around the corner
I know, right? We really need some good news with this device, especially since Verizon is holding back updates from us that fix a lot of the issues with the phone. Unlocked bootloader would be the best thing ever. I just hope the guy who found this decides to release it, it seems some users have given him trouble over it. Annoying him won't help.
Please do more research guys. This has been debunked lots of times. The person that found the exploit said it wouldn't work on Verizon note 4.

Would you mind showing me where he has stated this? Because I have a feeling you didn't even look at what I've linked. Would be quite remarkable for this to be "debunked lots of times" in just the 4 or 5 weeks it's been publicly shared. This is a brand new exploit affecting pretty much every device running a Snapdragon 805. He explicitly names the Note 4 as a vulnerable device, and he successfully unlocked the Droid Turbo with the exploit.
What's the point of having a unlock bootloader. I a note 4 DE and there's barley any development. I'm pretty sure a lot of devs had moved on.

I have a feeling you didn't bother to click page 2 of the Verizon note 4 General forum. If you did you would see there has already been 2 threads about this, so why you make another.
The 2 developers have already said twice this won't work. Not sure where it was mentioned but it was thrust me.
