[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4 LTE Support - Paranoid Android Q&A

I am thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 LTE and I was wondering if you will officially support this device for your custom ROM?

Officially, no
There are means by which a developer can support it unofficially however

That is currently the case for my galaxy tab 7.7 , but these roms always have issues , official support is always better

We only support nexus and oppo devices officially.
We can't support devices that we don't physically own. This is where other developers come in

If it's not already supported, you can provide whatever is required to add your device to the legacy repo

Should I sell my Gnex and go with Note II or Nexus 4?

Is it worth it? Which would be better? Nexus 4 or Note II?
If you don't care about having the latest version of android I say note II. if money and updates are a concern then Nexus 4 cannot be beaten. Galaxy Nexus is still very capable though.

Plus the Nexus 4 only comes with 3G though it has the ability to be charged wirelessly.

Maybe go for the note ii, but i wouldn't swap it for the nexus 4 with no removable battery or lte radio
If I were to choose right now I would go with note ii, the battery life, bigger screen and LTE are all pluses. Although I'm waiting until s4/note3

Since i am mostly on wifi, i don't care about lte. Software updates, unlock-ability, and the dev community would tip the scales toward the nexus 4 if i was in the market.

I have a work galaxy Nexus which was my primary phone. My personal phone was a iphone 4. I dropped the iphone and got a note 2. I'm a flashaholic who spent many of days flashing a new rom on my Nexus. I always said I'd never get anything other than a Nexus.
I'm in love with my note 2. I barely ever pick up my Nexus unless I need to answer the phone or use it for tethering.
Just fyi the note 2 has a Huge dev community. Tw roms and aosp roms are dropped on a daily basis..
I can't speak for the Nexus 4 but you can't go wrong with the note 2.

Software updates are nice but they don't make up for features that are missing or of lesser quality (camera,battery).

I say its not worth it. The GNex isn't that out of date hardware wise and definitely not software wise. I personally wouldn't as there isn't much the 2 phones can do that the GNex can't. Cheers.

Besides the fact that it's not worth it, a bigger screen isn't always a plus - if you want to use it as a phone...I don't like holding my phone with two hands :/

Hello,
Is it the New Nexus 7 released in 2013?
If yes, I am not even aware it is available yet although I did read in the news that a man from China got it by mistake while shipping it from USA.
Do not tell me that you are that guy
Well, if you have the old model, Nexus 7 2012, then you have posted this in the wrong thread.
If you have the new Nexus 7, It depends that you can run custom roms or not. No one has seen the binaries or flash images for the New Nexus 7 so I can not say it might work or not. You might have to take the risk if you still want to try.
Also, I think unless LTE is integrated with some system files, you will be cool to go and not be able to use communications but that is still highly unlikely because from the old Nexus 7 LTE model, I know the source binaries were quite different.
You can even hard brick your device.
My advice, enjoy the LTE till it is official.
I work for a mobile company in the UK. So I have a final test one. A nexus 2013 LTE.

Any word on a release date?
Can you make a nandroid of that rom beforehand and upload it?
(I would recommend against using TWRP for the moment as it has a lot of issues with nandroids, there seem to be a working CWM at the moment)

Probably never will make any voice calls, they so far go on overlaid 3g networks due to lots of upgrades required in the backhaul. Voip, ie. CSipSimple, is the way to go. And you will need a headset.
The Phone App is in the filesystem but doesn't show in the ui.
I'm hoping this will be different as it uses a different chip than the nexus 7 3g(2012)
The 2013 N7 LTE should be using a APQ8064-1AA + MDM9615A + WTR1605L,
which is very similar to the APQ8064 + MDM9615A + WTR1605L on the N4.
While it might be (hypothetically) possible for it to do so in hardware, it could still be disabled.
Both the N4 and 2013 N7's wifi/bt chips also support fm radio at the silicon level, but it's disabled at the chip level.
The LTE on the N4 is disabled at the firmware level (as the lte mod is due to leftover code, if it were not for that it doesnt have LTE period)
It could have voice calls disabled at the silicon level, chip level, firmware level, or rom level, since they can easily spec modems that have broken voice call support since it's not used in the first place.

If your read the thread you would have found that he got it because he was a tester or something. He posted proof that it was legit.

Even the galaxy grand which the xda classifies as "low activity device" has more development than combined all galaxy tab 3 models. I think the price difference between note 8 and tab 8 is not much considering the note 8 has more development so far.l would recommend the note 8.

I'm currently looking into development for the sgt3 8....
Considering the note 8.0 has been out longer just give it time.
Development works are underway

Yeah considering the tab3 is only 2 months old. Honestly I would get the note just for the s pen over the 8 inch gt3
I'm actually working on a port of a stock Android 4.3 and when that's working stabile I'll port the paranoid rom for the Wifi and 3g version of the tab 3 8.0.
I just have a lot of work so it'll take some time

(news) kitkat announced!

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that android 4.4 is out, and rolling with the nexus 5 first.
Hopefully, we can see some support for this sexy piece of hardware called the captivate glide.

Sent from my SGH-I927 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Highly doubtful, as even the Galaxy Nexus got ditched officially. Kernel problem (TI isn't there any more so it's hard to develop 3.4.y kernel for OMAP4). Glide uses Tegra2's 3.1.y kernel which was EOL much earlier... So KitKat could happen to us, but not that easily.
And my Nexus 4 just got a fully functional KitKat port from Nexus 5 factory image

Port cyanogenmod 11s

I'm wondering did someone tried to port cyanogenmod11s from oneplus one to our galaxy nexus?
A port from the one plus one is next to impossible. The day may come that it is built from source for our phone. Today is not that day.

Most of us are getting close to retiring the phones so a port makes very little sense I think.
