So I'm thinking of getting this phone in the future but I can't decide between the i9500 model and i9505.
Now, I'm not asking hardware-wise, I know the difference between the Octa and Snapdragon. I'm asking in terms of community support. Which one of these models get more developer support and faster/more stable/better ROMs and Kernels and.....stuffs?
I9505
And easier for development

A quick look at the dev forums for the two devices would give you the answer you need

Of course I did, and I couldn't really understand which one has better support.

I have already successfully rooted and flashed recoveries, radios and ROMs on 4 different Android phones before. You can't really tell how much a model is supported by just looking at the appropriate sub-forums, since even for 2 year old device as Desire there's still replies on threads, but not from devs but confused new users. Or there are very low-quality re-pack ROM devs.

Since we now have the HSPL to unlock the Arrive I think its time for a new sub-forum for the Arrive or at least for CDMA devices only what do you think guys??
Yes I that would be nice
I think it would help avoid confusion so people don't try to port the wrong rom to the wrong device.

agreed. I'd be just the guy to do it too.
agreed. the recent introduction of future custom roms and unlock status dictates that a sub forum will be necessary!
Agreed would help to avoid confusion.

thank you I'm coming from nexus s scene , for this I have asked for custom roms..excuse for the answer ^^
no problem. I can see how you might be lost. I am on my 3rd android device, and have only had 1 ROM at most for each one. Ive learned patience.
Its just that a lot of XDA n00bs have been coming in and expecting this ROM and that ROM,etc.
what you find is here is about all available.
oh, and questions go in Q&A.
tab plus 3g is an excellent device.

Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to customizing my android phone. Have only had a Galaxy SII before, which I flashed to CyanogenMod.
Now I might be interested in flashing my new One S, particularly due to better battery life but also for enhanced possibilities.
I can of course read the guides on how to root & flash (although it seems a lot more complicated than on my Galaxy SII).
What I'm more worried about is, how do I flash back to stock, if that should be necessary later on? Is it very complicated?
Now, I actually like Sense 4.0, HTC keyboard and some other HTC things, so I would like to flash a ROM with Sense. I've looked through the forum and concluded, that either Noble or Trickdroid might be suitable for me. I know that it's not polite to shoot down the one or other ROM, but could some of you tell me the differences between the two? I can't really point them out myself.
Thank you very much!
Best regards
Casper

If you can read, you would know the differences between the 2 roms, and you would also know that THIS IS DEVELOPMENT SECTION, NOT Q&A !!
Wrong Section.
Sorry, how to move?

Harsh.
But yes, it is the wrong section. A mod will probably move this post soon enough.
That said, I just read them over. They look to be mostly the same. Stock with a few tweaks here and there. Noble looked the better of the two to me.
Both have some very vague language though
Fully optimized and tweaked
RAM optimizations
Speed optimizations
Excellent battery life!
Better CPU Performance

You can always just take a backup and flash each one and give them a day or two test run.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Do you know how to flash stock rom and un-root, if it'll be necessary?
Hi, I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) for T-Mobile and I might be switching to Verizon and getting the Samsung Galaxy S3. I rooted my S2 and installed the Jedi Mind Trick only a week ago and love it. I had no lag or issues other than an app or 2 crashing. Basically, I want to see what everyone is using for this phone and carrier (Verizon/SG3)...Is there a ROM called the Jedi Mind Trick here for this S3 on Verizon?
Thanks in advance...
Wrong section and there are already numerous threads asking for ROM recommendations.

Development section is only for ROM and kernel release threads. Your question thread should have gone in the Q&A section. Plus there are already quite a few threads asking for ROM recommendations or what ROMs people are running. Search the general and Q&A sections a little and you will find the threads and perhaps get an idea of what ROM you might want to run based on the responses in those already existing threads.

1) wrong section.
2) how hard would it be to look in the development threads and look to see if that ROM is available? The search button really was created for purpose not just looks .
but this phone is great, you'll love it, and there are a number of wonderful ROMs to choose from.

1. OK
2. I did search and resulted with T-Mobile JMT Rom...But I'll look harder...
Thanks! Looking forward to changing carriers..
Why is this in development?!!!!
Also why is this even asked?
Rule 1 search before posting would have shown you dozens of these threads closed
They are ALL the best. There are no shortcuts and no one can tell you what is best for YOU

I think that problem is in processor, because I found only 2 model of phone that are used this type.
But this question is urgent to me also, all the time I asked this question in MIUI Forum, but still no answer =((

Mod Edit quote removed
I believe what he means is that you are supposed to use the search function to see if there are any existing threads concerning the topic you are looking for and in this case there is an existing thread on the topic of MIUI for our S2 Plus which can be found right here. Now please no more arguing. There are people interested in doing this but as has been pointed out it's not just a matter of plug and play unfortunately. The S2 Plus hardware doesn't seem very compatible with any other devices which makes it a lot harder to port or build a ROM. Hope that helps!

Thread cleaned.
Please remember ,that if you have nothing good to say , it is better to say nothing.
