Anyone Using Jasmine ROM Considering Delaying Note 4 ? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i was all set to buy the N4 then hsbadr released a new Jasmine rom 2.4.1 and he keeps making it so nice and injecting combined features from the N4 both US and International with some S5 goodies.
if you have the N3 and have not checked out that rom you should.
i am not saying that i am not getting the N4 but i may wait a little longer now and see what gets developed. maybe a week maybe a month but if his 3.0 version is a full N4 rom it may be interesting to see how close the N3 gets to being like the N4.

No rom on the note 3 will beat a note 4 man just saying get the note 4

You want an amazing experience check our build 2 of alliance.

The phone itself is whats worth switching for. The build quality is amazing.

i have been running naked with my N3 for more than 1 year now with no issues on build quality. what i didnt like about it was that it felt heavier and bigger.
i will get bored at some point and probably get the Edge version or see what else they put out but the N4 doesnt excite me

[Q] should I come to the Galaxy s3? Nexus 4

Honestly I love the stock look of android but I can't deal with the issues that google failed with on the Nexus 4, overheating , sub-par 8MP camera, delayed pinch to zoom, This phone just looks and seems nicer. YES I realize the GS4 is announced this week but that isn't an opportunity to get it unlocked and my contract isn't up till October.
All in all, the Galaxy s3 just looks like a cooler device especially for someone like me in High School where all those camera features and motion features would be fun to play around with, Plus if I don't like it I root and then I pretty much have a Nexus 4 with a slower processor, less overheating and a better camera and screen
Do you guys think it is worth it to sell my Nexus 4 and get a Galaxy s3? I have no problem with buying the s4 down the road its just my phone isn't interesting me anymore and I'm DIEING to see what I have been missing out on with LTE.

Firstly, I would edit this post before the mods come in because discussion of trading is forbidden now, although that is a really nice trade for some people. Swappa is the official place to sell your device here now.
Secondly, it sounds like you are unhappy with your N4. I really love this device and I think it's great, but I think you'd be quite happy with a SGS3. Great battery life, LTE is wonderful, The AMOLED screen is brilliant. All of this is subjective of course. Best of luck.
Thanks for the tip
The big Screen, LTE, and being able to use a SD card is really nice, but the N4 will have better longterm support when it comes to android upgrades the nexus devices always do. I have herd goods and bads about both the gs3 and nexus as far as support though. It really is all up to you and your prefrence
Long term support is a very subjective term. Plus you get the latest OS over here if you are so keen on staying updates.
As the earlier poster mentioned, you got to weigh in many other factors too, not just support. For me, SD card, LTE and screen are important than Google updates. I tend to stick to a stable version, and this forum is the only place I look for.

if you're looking for the touchwiz roms, start browsing and reading around in the Android Development section. Hyperdrive seems to be getting some good attention right now.

If you like a holo-like theme try mine (Intergalactic) or upndwn4par's Graviton. Honestly all of them are really good. We have many talented devs here, thank goodness, and we all work together to make things better. You'll most likely be happy with any of them you try. Make a nandroid and try a bunch!

I thought the same, but many of us came from the Galaxy Note 1 where it was the same difference, 5.3 to 5.5
Alot of it depends on screen quality difference for me, and it would have to be much better for me to pull the trigger on it

I still have the note 1 too. There was a significant difference in software, battery and performance between 1&2. There is not much on the s4 that I can't do on the note 2. I use my 2 for work and a bigger screen would be a benefit. Not saying I won't get the 3 but if the rumours hold true , in my case, there would be no benefit to upgrade. Will see what Sept 4th reveals.

this is the smart thing to do..
I grabbed a note 8.0 a couple of months ago, and it is fantastic; there was a BIG difference between the note 1 and 2, so it made it a worthwhile upgrade; going from the note 2 to the note 3 appears to be nothing more than bragging rights, about having the newest phone.
Until the Note 3 actually comes out, none of these "leaks" have any relevance to most people anyways, so we will just have to wait and see..
I'm happy with my Note 2. The same as I was with my GS2, thus skipping the 3. However, I'm excited to hear about the new software features - I want to see a photo editor that really takes advantage of the digitizer.

A 6" screen would have been nice but I thought the small jump in screen size going from the s3 to s4 wouldnt be noticeable but it is.
I am really looking fwd to sept 4 because until then we really dont know anything for sure.
I will get the 3 more than likely regardless but I wont get rid of my 2 either as its still an amazing device.

Was thinking about upgrading but I really love my Note 2. Its perfect in every way. I recently picked up a Note 8. Great tablet.
Cant wait to see whats in store as far as 4.3 and goodies from Samsung for our Note 2.
Did you see some of the comments on that article? One guy was disappointed because the screen wasn't "at least" 6.5 inches. Really? That's ridiculous.

I would be surprised if we see 4.3 on our device anytime soon. I bet it will be at least 2014 before we see it.
It makes sense from business standpoint to not upgrade the Note 2 to 4.3 while the Note 3 is out for a bit.
Same reason why the Galaxy S3 was never upgraded to 4.2. They want to heat on the S4 as long as they can.

Ya think? From what I've been reading (rumors) it seems like Samsung will be skipping 4.2 in favor of 4.3 and it sounded like its not far off. Maybe within the next couple of months. It would be nice but what you said makes sense also. I guess time will tell.
Wow that pic really shows how lame an upgrade this is. 6'' would have been the natural progression for note 3. This pic makes me feel even more disappointed.
Let's see what Htc and Sony bring to the table then... After 4 Samsung phones in a row for me they finally disappointed me :/

Well, xperia z ultra is horrendous. Great specs but very unwieldy looking. To much upper and lower bezel. One max looks interesting but buying HTC is as likely for me as buying an iPhone (not in this lifetime). Will wait and see what they show before condemning it for screen size alone.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Problem for me is that, screen size is pretty much the main thing I would like to improve over my Note 2. The multi windows or floating windows option would be much better on a slightly bigger screen not to mention other apps making it more productive using other apps that can benefit from the added size.
The Z ultra has horrible bezels but I dont mind that much. If it was not for the stupid battery I would be all over it.
HTC...well I had a Tilt 2 once..that was my only HTC so not a big fan but at least it is 6".
Then again, I probably wont have floating windows with those so is all a tough decision but looks maybe I will just keep my Note 2 for now :/

Me Too...
It depends on the CPU/RAM for me, at the moment.
1080 would be a nice increase in resolution, but if you are happy with the note 2 (as many of us are) so far, the note 3 doesn't seem like a big step up from what we got already.
That said, I've got an upgrade coming up in a couple months, on one of my lines. So I could get the note 3 on upgrade and not spend a dime.
But, we don't know the whole picture yet.
If they frack with the internals like they did on the note 1, I'm probably going to skip the note 3. Unless the north american version is top tier, and not cutting corners on slower memory or a cut back CPU, it's going to be a hard sell for note 2 owners like all of us.

You have to remember people wanting the screen to get much bigger are a minority, they have to go the way business tells them. After the looks I get with the note already I can safely say most people already consider it huge, so it makes sense they wouldn't want to push it to the point where they would lose most of their sales. We definitely represent a small minority here

Yeah, I agree with this. Most of the people that wanted a bigger screen are the ones in the rooting and modding community. Everyone else that I have met or know always say "man that's a big phone" or "that's just too big". How unfortunate.
I would have actually preferred to have the phone size reduced without the loss of the screen size, but a slight increase in the screen size with much higher resolution is not bad either. Any larger than the current size would be uncomfortable to carry around. If so, it would be better to buy the Note 8 instead!

So this is it?

No more updates from Samsung for our Note 2. Yes I am rooted yes I know how to flash roms been doing it for years. It's just really getting on my nerves how this phone is still a beast and it's pretty much abandoned by Samsung on purpose to herd us to a new phone.
I didn't do a nexus because I was with sprint at the time but since I am gsm now all I need is a nexus with a 5 inch screen.
Sorry about the rant, but it got to me today while lurking the note 2 forums.
Where did you see that? I thought the update was going straight to 4.3 and dropping late this year?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hope you are right, my hopes are not really that high. Guess it will be all good when I actually see the update.
Samsung sent updates or for GSII earlier this year even as the GS4 was coming out. I see no reason to fret over loss of support at this point. We should be Ok. The limiting factor frankly is T-Mobile...

No offense but why are you saying stuff like this with no sources? It's just ridiculous... I could understand this a few years ago but not these days. Like another said, it all falls on tmobile and their addition of bloatware, testing, and then its release. And you won't see a major update until the Note 3's drops.

Nah...didn't the S2 just finally get Jellybean a few months back. They may put them on a back burner while they put their efforts into big projects like the Note 3 and Android 4.4 but they come back to these other phones after those releases. Technology is moving so fast they must be scrambling to keep up.
Android 4.3 coming to Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 in October, no word on Note 2.
I guess we'll wait a little longer...

Pranav mistry mentioned that an update is coming in October for GS3 and Note2 for Galaxy Gear. Hopefully it will be 4.3
They did indeed say October however I will believe it when I get it. I have a feeling there will be a while a whole bunch of shenanigans with "delays".

So it looks nice and all leather was a nice touch but other than that the features are not really breathtaking. Would it at least have an AR blaster? What about air view that's sick was expecting that on note 3 if it doesn't have it then damn might have to go for the s4 .

Useless? You're not trying hard enough. Get Note Buddy, CM S Pen Add-on, and Papyrus all off Play for free. Screenshot hardware shortcuts vary depending on the ROM, Vol-Down+Power is a common one otherwise screenshot can be added to the power menu.
Gimmicks are things like eye tracking, hand waving for scrolling etc.There are tons that only add ROM bloat that have little real value. There's a whole dictionaries worth of these included in the 4.2.2 included with s4, and likely all that crap and more included in 4.3. Sadly most all the UI improvements to Android in 4.2 and 4.3 are whitewashed over in TouchWiz.

Actually there are changes - I suggest you check out the off-topic New device/upgrade thread for 2 reasons:
1) This one will be eventually locked as the other is the official.
2) I just left a little nugget there....

Any devs going to S5

Probably wrong place for this, but there is hardly any activity in the S5 forums which surprises me due to the popularity of the Galaxy S devices. I was only curious if devs are going to move to the new device or not.

I had the S3 and then an N5, now the S5. I preferred the thin tapered body of the S3 compared to the S5. I don't know what to think about this device just yet. Seeing it compared to my N5 kind of upsets me, the Nexus 5 is much more sharp than the S5 but maybe because the screen is SLIGHTLY smaller.
Also AOSP/CM is MILES smoother than TW.
The S5 is such an ugly phone. It's noticeably thicker then the s4, the chrome band looks cheap, and the backing looks terrible albeit more grippy than the s5. The full sized USB 3.0 port is huge and looks tacky along with it's port cover. And worst of all, no Google Play edition so your stuck with Touchwiz unless buggy AOSP ports are your thing.
Obviously, this is just my opinion. If you like the phone, go for it. I'm staying with my GS4 until Google decides to give another manufacturer a shot at the nexus.
Because LG is terrible lol
