I suggest sticking to our device development forum Herr until you get your feet wet with the sprint gs3.
And read entire op. Don't just look at its features and pop thee download link.
Read. Otherwise we will see you posting a bricked thread, and I doubt you'll get any mercy.
Read. Read. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and read some more. When you think you're done, read more.
One day there will be a quiz.....or should be...

I'm wondering what it is about Omega Rom that's so amazing... I see that they have a 4.2 version of it (I believe the 4.2.x version is based of a leak and not an official update). Other than that, though, I didn't really see too many other options that we don't have on TW Roms over here at d2spr. It might be a bit more polished, but I think ours are pretty darn good.

You know I went over to the international GS3 forums and I think I figured out what the problem is. On our forum on the main page is says "Samsung Galaxy S III L710" but on the I9300 forum it just says "Samsung Galaxy S III". Maybe someone can get a moderator to change that to include "International version" and maybe we'll have less people with bricks, because it seems like the mistakes usually aren't between variants within US, it's usually a mistake involving international vs US carrier ROMs

None of the international phones say "international" and this has not happened there. There is an international Note 2 and GS2 that do not have this problem. Even a capital letters sticky that says these ROMs are only for the international version has not stopped some. If people are going to blindly flash their phones without reading it does not matter what the phone is called. They should be checking model numbers.

Yeah... AT&T should still get a decent amount of traffic considering how many of us there are.. but Tmobile, sprint are probably screwed
Also, they split the forums but STILL have it by the AMERICAN carrier name.
They need to have it by the model # name... ie AT&T would be the i747 instead. That way canadian users wont be confused either
This needed to be done. I support the mods in splitting these up.

I don't know about T-Mobile but I've had a Sprint phone and they surprisingly get some decent development going on for the Samsung/Evo phones. Not so much Photon for example, I don't know if they ever got anything good.

I only agree with it for the Q&A and two dev forums. The rest should be together, all the accessories are now in the 9300 forum it seems. I certainly understand the problems, but some of that is because some people (developers included) didn't realize that things like CWM are different on different phones now, so we have people with IMEI problems who --appear-- to have used Sprint CWM on ATT phones (I would have been in that category but Samsung replaced my phone already).
I just got a email from Samsung saying the official jb update was available. What do I need to do to go back to stock room and update to OE jelly bean?

Yup, that's what I'm waiting for. Why Odin back to stock just to have a bloated Sammy rom, when soon enough one or more of our highly respected Devs will have top notch roms for the flashing.

There's already a rom that came out. It's based on Rogers. It's exactly the same as at&t without bloatware. I have it and it runs great.

I've NEVER understood why in the world people want the "official" updates when they can simply wait a day or 2 for ROM chefs to cook up a bloat, crap free ROM! Why go thru the whole unroot, flash the update then re root again...... Makes NO sense to me, must be really impatient n00bs or something lol justsayin

I run this also, and it works great, but I will say that it's not EXACTLY the same. The lock screen news feed doesn't work, says it can't determine my country...in other words, not Canada, no newsfeed. It's minor stuff.
Shouldn't this be in Q&A/locked due to the fact that there's a discussion thread already for this?

The only reason people are getting "*****y", as you say, is because you posted your "question" in a development forum. I also was a noob at some point and still act like one here and there but I also show the fellow Xda'ers, devs, and mods alike respect by following the rules of xda and not getting snippy with the people trying to inform of a mistake made. Development sections are strictly for Rom releases and their corresponding threads. Had you posted this in the q&a section no one would have said a word to you. Friendly advice from a semi noob to a complete noob!
Ps people could get a whole lot meaner by the way!! Consider yourself lucky so far!

So many things wrong in this thread
First development is for developers only to post threads
so moving to General
Second there already is a bunch of these so please search before posting
There is a sticky thread in General for this topic to prevent 30 of the same threads
So thread closed
Thanks

Is it just me, or do you guys find yourself checking out other carrier galaxy note 2 forums here on xda. Honestly I find it annoying jumping back and forth between the tmobile, verizon, att and sprint forums.I know there are subtle differences between the variants software wise but is it honestly enough to create 4 different forums? Alot of the tips and tricks, problems and questions being ask in these forums are very useful and relevant to other carrier galaxy note 2's. I just wanted to get poll and see if everyone else kinda feels the same way. If so, maybe we can get xda to consolidate...

That would be something the developer in the development section would point out. The same could be said of people downloading the internationals versions of roms on US devices or vice versa. When i had my g2 there were plenty of roms that were out for the US device that could not be used on the international (z) device. We still however had a combined forum since in most cases the devices were exactly the same. Same courtesy should be extended to this device.
I too think it's better to have different forums for different carriers even though the phone itself are very similar. It make it easier for people to find out updates that is through the carriers only or roms
Merge at least the i317(M) and T889 (potentially also N7105) General/Q&A subforums.
Having these two separate makes almost no sense.
No. It would turn these forums into the never ending

Separate please.
Keep it as it is. The adventurous can take a trip to the other forums.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Can you believe that there are 7 separate forums for Note2 in XDA? I find myself typing "note" into the "Find Your Device..." field very often to see what models are available, and I actually sometimes visit AT&T sections. I don't bather visiting others because it's too cumbersome.
I think it is more like we should change the hierarchy of the forums; move (combine) all Note2 forums under the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" forum which is already there, but keep each variant (different models) into different sub-forums. We would have a separate dev sub-forum for each carrier plus a general dev sub-forum to cover universal matters, but a combined themes sub-forum, etc.

This makes it easy to navigate without too much clatter. We can also check the activity levels (i.e. post counts) of other Note's on one page.
Would be sweet if we had the choice to merge/collapse subforums of our own choosing for our own viewing pleasure. I know I'd merge the AT&T and T-Mo forums, so I'd view those as one for myself whereas someone else could view them separately.

Same here, why in the world do we have separate forums for these topics. They are basically the same phones. I myself find myself going back and forth between these forums, very annoying and also a good loss of creative potential by splitting folks up. Please merge them.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Merge them, put GSM dev, CDMA dev, then if you really want within those have the carrier sub-forums. The sub-forums would be for things like modems. Accessories forum is already shared, if they collapsed all LTE note 2 sections to one device it would make life easier and devs would not need to have 3 or more threads for multi-carrier ROMs.

There's the International i9500 and the i9505... one is the octa-core and the other is the quad-core just like the m919. i9505 and m919 ROMs (all SGS4 models except the 9500, actually) are interchangeable so long as they don't include modems/baseband, etc...but who does that anyway? Oh, and the kernel; gotta use a kernel for your specific model...
Yeah.. I get everything you guys are saying, but my question is NOT "What kind of phones are out there"
My question is why do we have 2 forums, the T-mobile forum, and the other SGS4 forum... when we can all just go into the 9505 forum on xda..

Yea but think of how many problems this would cause because of the 3 or 4 things that are not compatible. Seems like its easier for newbies to just look for where they bought their phone and not have to worry about basebands, Kernels, Radio/Modems and any other incompatible firmware.

I think things are bad as it is and I agree that 3-4 different S4 models in the same forums
is just asking for more problems and a lot more little shiny BRICKS! LOL
What I really would like to see though, and I am surprised that no one else mentioned it before me which is
the fact that there are two Tmobile M919 Forums, one for the "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Development"
and the other for "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development".
At first when the the "Original Development" forums were created it was made clear to all the devs that all the CM10/AOSP/AOKP/MIUI
roms belong in the "Original Development" forums. (this held true for other brands and models of phones not just the S4)
And now for who knows what reason a lot of the CM10/AOSP/AOKP devs started using the "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android
Development" forum for all those AOSP/AOKP/CM10 roms so now they are all mixed together with the standard Touchwiz Jellybean
based custom roms.
Sometimes it's not very easy to even tell which is which unless we search real hard in the OP post of each roms thread.
I am surprised that none of the xda moderators here have said anything about it, and it's been going on now for a long time.

Its because the ROMs in the original development section are built from source. The other section may be based on aosp ROMs but its not built from source.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
It all is very clear. Of everything is original development for original roms. Roms that have original coding and features. Everything else goes in the other development. It is not just a matter of being built from source. I could build an AOKP roms from source but it would not go in original development. As there is nothing original in the rom. Just a kang of someone else's work.
As for the OP question. The simplest and most straight forward answer is that people are stupid and can't read or do proper research before they decide to reprogram their device. So we have to separate them and give them less chance of screwing it up and then filling this development forum with tons of thread stating how they bricked their device and need help fast, like this is some support site.

When the s3 came out last year, I remember that there was only one forum for the Intl and US variants, boy what a mess it was reading threads that does not relate to the tmo version or the att one. I'm glad xda realized it and separated it like how it is now. It is better this way and much easier to find answers or ask questions related to your specific device.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
on the international side roms are based off the international stock version.
Then you have the carrier branded sites for tmobile att verizon etc.. which have roms based off there respective carrier. So for us its based off tmobile rom with tmobile bloat ie wifi calling.
that at least my take.
Does anyone know where one can find the leaked JDQ47.I9300XXUFMGQ build from Sammy? This is the build for Android 4.3 on SGS3. I am just badly in need of this for the Bluetooth LE/Smart functionality which google has given native support. This is for my Casio GB-6900AA Smart Watch which has been sitting ducks since i bought it in December 2012!

It's just enough to test BT LE native connectivity and see how Android deals with LE.
That's not the point here. i9300 ROMS CANNOT WORK on the i747. You will end up with a 500$ paperweight. No recovery.
