I think some of this has to do with the fact that there are slight variations from the 300 to the 700, the 300 has a larger community but we can't just grab those devs since the differences in models are just enough to make it a pain, but the models are close enough that 300 owners probably won't upgrade. Compound this with the Nexus 7 and so many modders got that because its cheap and pure android and you see what we are in. Finally, the tablet just dropped (is about to drop?) in Europe so that shrinks the pool a bit.

How much is an unlocked rom really worth? On phones it's worth a lot because of all the bloatware and need to maximize battery life but on tablets ... most have so little bloatware. I would rather have a much quicker Jellybean than all the Rom support in the world at this current time.

Have u checked that section... Most roms are for the n8000 and not the 8013 (wifi) version... And it doesnt look like its anything special anyways... Lol just sayin

I am working on getting custom ROMs on this thing and I am starting with JB directly. No use making an ICS custom ROM when JB is coming soon. Its not been easy to get this done. I have a booting JB version but loads of stuff needs fixed. I'd wait for a JB version and use those libs to make a new build with.

I have to agree. Tablets are relatively clean. I have zero desire to do anything beyond the freezing of unneeded apps that I've already done.

Hopefully this will help development for our phone in a 4.1 sense.
Same here. I would love to see a JB port for the Blaze.
It'll be easier to get a port once we have ICS. If Samsung releases it anytime this century... I am still confused for why Cyanogen Mod doesn't support our phone but still supports single core phones lol

I'm confused by lack of CM support for the blaze. They still support the cliqxt but lack of support might be because none of their members has the device

That's what I'm thinking. It's more about popularity than actually good hardware. Funny thing is that if CM10 or at least CM9 were available more people would buy this phone. A bunch of people jumped ship and returned this device after looking at the 'slow' development. As of now it's picking up and hope it gets even better. Coming from a G2x, which was a huge waste of potential hardware, I hope this device doesn't meet the same fate. The only reason I didn't buy the Galaxy Nexus was because of its weird hardware (bad camera, random reboots, etc.) Lol

Be patient. As soon as Samsung releases ICS kernel open source for Galaxy S Blaze 4G, we will have more custom ROMs such as CM9 and CM10.
I saw this on the galaxy tab 7.7 forum that ICS is being released for the tab.
phandroid.com/2012/10/05/verizon-announces-ice-cream-sandwich-update-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7/
Isn't this supposed to give us a possible chance at ICS since they share similar hardware??

The Charge really is way underpowered. All the later phones are much more powerful. They're not going to ever put any effort into this wimpy phone. FP5 was just the fix for the embarrassing crap software they were running on it before. Just run Tweaked 3.0 and keep it til you can get something better.

This.
The Charge has always been a good phone, the problem is they gave the phones before and after it better hardware/software. Even the Thunderbolt which was released before the Charge is supposed to get some ICS love(official) and has ROMs for ICS. The Charge has always been over looked and under appreciated. If it had been given proper hardware and a lil lovin' it would be right below the Nexus. At this point it is ridiculous that Samsung won't just give up the RIL so that some more can be done to try and bring the Charge back from the dead. All I gotta say is thank god Dwitherell stuck it out and made the Charge more of what it should have been.
I have a question, if this is a slightly refreshed Nexus S, and the Nexus S can run both ICS and JB, then why can't this phone? From a hardware perspective, I know Samsung obviously doesn't want to spend the time and money to create ICS for their bastard child phone.

It's not about phone capabilities, really. It's about 2 things. First, this is a limited user base device. Second, this is a skinned device, and there's not enough room in the system partition for the skinned version of ICS or JB to run.
AOSP ICS and JB do run, and from what little I messed with CM9 on the Charge, it ran quite nicely. There's no mobile data with it though, because the RIL has proven to be tough to crack, but as far as hardware capabilities, it can run stock...just not the TouchWiz skinned versions.

I would think that it'd be trivial since they have the same processor, pixel count etc, are released at around the same time by the same company, same s-pen etc.
Seems like it'd be a great way to get jellybean before they actually release it, and tne two communities might really benefit from working together.

They do not have the same processor or pixel count. The Note 10.1 has a Rev. 1.1 Exynos 4412 and the Note II has a Rev. 2.0 Exynos 4412. Also, the Note 10.1 has a resolution of 1280x800 and lacks hardware buttons. The Note II has a resolution of 1280x720 and has three hardware nav buttons. The SoC difference may be trivial, but the others aren't (Although I'm sure it's possible with some minor tweaks). If you're just eager for JB, just wait for the N8010 JB build and flash it. It works a treat on the N8013.

Actually I think CM10 works really well besides the camera if you're interested in JB. I barely use the camera on the tablet anyway.
Well the cameras useful but the main thing for me is the spen and snote working

I'm sort of new to Android and I currently have a lg vs910. I love the phone my only problem with it is there are only a couple of custom roms running on it. Don't get me wrong I love the broken out 2.0.1 and mtmichaelson did a great job. But I'm almost due for an upgrade and I want a good phone that has a few more options for custom roms. I know this question is sort of opinion based but that's what I want please let me know you're opinions.

Thank you. I kind of thought that would be most peoples answer but wanted to see If someone would mention a phone I haven't yet heard of. Thank you for the quick response though.
I had previously had a Motorola Droid X and HTC Thunderbolt and neither of them could come close to the number of choices and fast updates that I have been able to get with my Galaxy S3. Its amazing when you consider the Verizon model shipped with a locked boot loader. I had Jelly Bean on my S3 before the VZW Nexus got the update officially. Plus the hardware is great!

I would say the HTC Evo 4g because it has been around since 2010, and there are still roms being developed for it.
sorry but the galaxy nexus no one considers, in addition to being a great device brings several customizations ... (this is my thought)
I have a samsung galaxy s more than 2 years now. Great device while many, many custom roms available. And they are stable too!
My next device will be a Samsung again. I am in doubt wether it will be S3 or Note.
The galaxy nexus GSM hands down. The Nexus 4 is also going to follow up with the same level of development when it is released

Have you noticed how slow it is compared to the new phones that have come out? I have actually considered getting an iPad air.

yeah, its old, but the old boy has still got some kick in him yet and i think that kitkat would go a long way to keeping it going and a bit longer.
I mainly use it for streaming media and internet, its fine for that.

have you even looked in the development forums? 4.3/4.4 is being worked on
Sent from my Nexus 5
I believe it will be available, not officially though. As the requirements to run KitKat are not as big as those for JB MR1.
And yes, Xoom is already an old device, it is slower than others, but that doesn't mean it is SLOW and BAD. Just slowER and not as good as. I have a Nexus 10 and I can tell the huge difference, however for the @op needs Xoom can do it pretty well.
