Hello,
Moderators, please take it easy on me as I am really confused on the whole matter.
I heard allot about cyanogen not coming to our phones due to Samsung not releasing the Exynos documentation for the I9500.
But yesterday, I read on g+:
"Finally, just a note that Exynos 3 and Exynos 5 devices are not impacted by the information above. The Nexus S allows for a solid Exynos 3 base, and the Nexus 10 for the Exynos 5 base. We have an i9500 in hand and will be working towards bringing the Exynos 5 Octo platform up to release quality as well."
Could one or some of you kind people please answer some questions for me?
1. How will cyanogen release any ROM if no documentation for exynos 5 is released?
2. Have they decided to support rom development since they now have a i9500? I'm just wondering because if they had the nexus 10, wouldn't it have been possible to have started rom development sometime ago? or is it crucial that they first have the device to support it. I don't quite understand how the nexus 10 and the i9500 could be of the same base. whilst they both use exynos, no documentation is released?
3. I hear many people would prefer to stay away from exynos devices in future, and rightfully so, because the lack of documentation. But if cyanogenmod does come to the i9500 would it be right to say that it may have the same fate as the exynos 4 devices in the near future?
4. Would cyanogen support have root triangle and mobile oddin coming to our devices? Yes, I do understand those are entirely different developers, but I'm just hoping something may come of it?
5. Now that cyanogen would make it to the i9500, is it worth getting this phone or should I wait for the i9505? I've heard sound quality, and battery life are quite good on i9500. I do not need LTE at this moment in time.
Hi guys, been using Nexus 5 for a year now but kinda bored now. So i am thinking to move to S5 due to features like Finger print sensor, water proof, upsm, etc.
The only problem is that i can buy only the 900H version in Mumbai, India. I've heard there is very limited support for this version, no custom roms, not even lollipop yet.
So I'm kinda confused whether to switch from Nexus 5 or switch regardless.
Any help/personal experience is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dinesh

Hello all
My G3 broke last week and I was leering towards a G4 however the Note 4 tempts me due to the bigger size and the S stylus as I'm a uni student. Is the Note 4 really worth it? I've heard of touch wiz lag horrors
I however have a few concerns.:
I need the handset to primarily work in the UK on both 3G and 4G. I know the F will work but how about the C ?
Which is the better variant of both of them? I am looking to install many custom roms as well as root it so which is best for this? Does the C variant have a decent custom rom scene?
I have the option of buying either the N910F or the N910C at a slightly reduced price, and I intend to keep the phone for at least 1 year.
Also how does guarantee work? If I root or flash custom roms, will I lose my guarantee?
Thanks
Hello, i'm user of the n910c version. For the network both have the same so you'll don't have any problem with this. For general use, i didn't have any problem with touchwiz (even if i hate this interface). If you want to root or install custom ROM you'll break your guarantee (the Knox guarantee in download mode will be incremented ). And the main problem is since lollipop (with coj5 bootloader) you don't go back to earlier version (everybody says that the bootloader is blocked). Si if you want flash custom ROM in lollipop version you can have cyanogenmod, some ports of GS6 edge or GN5 and other from stock GN4 ROM.
I hope you understood my bad english (sorry i'm french).

I'm in the UK on EE network. I sold my 910f on eBay and bought the 910c from simply electronics sim free for less than I sold the f for lol (£322.95)
Got to say I much prefer the exynos version it runs a lot cooler than the snapdragon variant plus it's easier to port n5 rom to the n910c as well. Any info you want just hit me up

I've got the 910C and am extremely happy with it (came from a Note 3; tried the LG G4 and returned it -- screen too small, also didn't like losing space by not having capacitive buttons, and missed my stylus).
I'm a touch disappointed by the custom rom scene for the 910C -- Wanam has left it, as has Dr. Ketan. I'm running a stock, debloated rom (ShonkUK) and, thanks to Chainfire, can now do it rooted with an enforcing stock kernel -- but you can do that on the 910F too. Looking at these forums, it seems to me that the 910F/Snapdragon development scene is a bit more active -- but not so much more so that it makes me regret my choice. Without having tried them both, I'm impressed with Exynos . I don't think you can go wrong with either.
In my opinion n910f is better choice because of performance battery and more roms
If this helped you press the thanks button.

I have an SM-N910F, and very happy with it. I heard the N910C indeed runs a bit cooler, but nothing noteworthy. Anyway, you can't go wrong with either one of these.

Recently got myself the SM-910C and happy camper. Moved from G3. Noticed quite a few improvements in battery, display and gaming. Wow!
I ran Blissrom on my G3 if that helps.
Just got new N910C, it has better performance in usual tasks, Touchwiz seems faster, and audio is better. Also C has few Note 5 Roms available...
Bought a note 4 a few months back with the intention of putting Ditto Note on it when I feel like rooting and rom'ing.
But they only support the SM N910C. Wasn't like that for the Note 2. They supported everything then. Probably should have looked into it prior... but yeah.
Anyway I have a SM N910W8 (Canadian), and I'm dying for a port of that ROM that get's some long term dev support and love. Has anyone ported this ROM over or thought about it?
Hello devs,
I would like to know why the porting rom is easier for note 3 than note 4 ? . The note 3 benefits from a full portage of nougat bases whereas it is not possible for the 4
That's kind of an interesting question, it'd be kind of nice to know.
How come Note 3 gets way more support than Note 4? lol
