[Nexus 5 General] A.VOID:
I love the "No Fanboy" header, but summarize the negative. Meanwhile, the entire review gives it a thumbs up and doesn't dwell on the negatives.

I believe the OP started a similar post with the same type of review.

Bottom line: I haven't found a phone yet that is across the board in all categories. Phone decisions are individual. The N5 delivered exactly what I expected, and I'm more than satisfied for my money. This review was pretty spot on, including the final sentence in the summary:

"And if you can snatch one for Google Play price, it may as well be "Okay Google. It's a deal"." :good:
[Nexus 5 General] dwang:
I agree with everybody regarding the battery tests.

The nexus 5 has an extremely bright screen. At 50% brightness it is BRIGHTER than my htc one at 100% brightness. So obviously if gsm arena tested the battery at 50% brightness, that will have a huge affect on battery time.

They should have calibrated each phone outputting the same brightness and the results would have been a more apples to apples comparison.

If you had seen the anandtech battery tests before they pulled it, all their phones are tested at 200nit brightness, regardless of the actual display %, and with that, the nexus 5 fared significantly better in the battery tests.

Here's another review where all phones are calibrated to 250nits, and the n5 results are pretty decent.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdonnelly1127:
Hi Guys,

Was wondering if anyone knew or could direct me to the proper place to get a transparent status bar (currently using Jellybeans Rom V1). Also if anyone know how to get rid of the pop up on lock screen for SMS's coming through. I remember on the S4 you used to download a root explorer go into system/app/and disable keyguardwidget.apk but I don't see it anymore.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdonnelly1127:
Anyone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
Okay, so after no updates for a month and no sign of any sign of AOSP for the Note 3, I have decided to take things into my own hands. Or so I would like to believe. The problem? I have never built AOSP or Cyanogenmod before, let alone for a device that isn't even supported. So I was hoping the wonderful XDA community could help me out.

The only thing I really can't figure out is how to build CM/AOSP for an unsupported device using a device tree. Someone posted this tree on Github a month ago - https://github.com/OUDhs/android_device_samsung_hltetmo

Then there is a Cyanogenmod kernel for just regular hlte (not hltetmo), posted 10 days ago - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_hlte

And then there are blobs for mi5 (not mi7), posted 2 days ago - https://github.com/DoItForTheRatchets/vendor_hlte

So my questions are:

Are these any indication of progress on AOSP for the Note 3?

Can I/anyone build CM/AOSP from these for the hltetmo.

I know people have gotten CM on the Note 3; we have all seen the blurry pic one, but here is someone else on October 24th - https://plus.google.com/u/0/+TonyLayher/posts/A4J8eRH8Rht
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chstewart:
It looks like it's progress or at least people are tinkering around with it. However, you would need a full tree for the device if you wanted to build it from source, know enough to get your own tree, or be able to fork from other device tree's to get something going. The new Nexus has the same chip so that may make things quicker with getting a full working device tree. I'm just quoting based on my own understanding of things, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
I've been wanting to know the same. I've built AOSP ROMs before (namely AOKP for my Note 1 pulling from CM's device tree) and would do the same if the files were available for the Note 3. A few devs have teased the community with screenshots, but until they post their code a tease and a cruel joke is all that it is. I really wish these devs would put their source code up even if it is incomplete and let the community at large get this thing in gear since obviously they can't do it fast enough single-handedly. Holding back code until it's "ready" defeats the entire purpose of open source development in the first place! We have the kernel but no one has a full device tree out yet, only a limited one for recovery purposes (mainly the TeamWin one from TWRP).

Any updates on cm10 or cm11 for the note 3

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CrashTestDroid:
Within hours of any (usable) device tree updates you'll see an explosion of new CM-based firmwares in the Dev sections.

I'll be building BeanStalk for hltetmo, probably 100 ppl will upload unofficial CM 11, it'll be a giant party for all.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itsmikeramsay:
Its getting real close. I imagine some other stuff is needed like qcom hardware updates and stuff. I'd give it another few weeks or so. BUT I imagine it'll be available soon.

Im looking for someone who knows a little better than me about building without the proper blobs for the device. Once the right blobs are available, it will be custom ROMs galore!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
What blobs do you need? I thought blobs had to be extracted from the TW stock ROM. GPU blobs should be able to come from any other S800 device right (like the Nexus 5)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProTekk:
I'd be more than happy to lend a hand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idtheftvictim:
That is great news! We need someone with experience like you. I remember you from other devices, namely the s3.

Would you be able to reach out to the OP and try and get things rolling?

Have you found anything useful on github?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProTekk:
There's enough on GitHub right now for a starting point. I've just started to poke around this morning so I can't say much. Tbh, I've been fairly content with TouchWiz so that's been one reason I haven't had a strong interest in working on AOSP :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idtheftvictim:
Really? Content with touchwiz? Hmmm...I wish I knew more, I would be started trying to build cm awhile ago
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Here is the most likely furthest along tree for anyone.

https://github.com/utkanos/android_device_samsung_hltetmo

It just seems like we might not see stuff on this device. Looking back on this thread people talked like it would be released in a week but I think it's going to be a lot longer than that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idtheftvictim:
That stuff is 2 months old. Nothing in two months? Man...no progress
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] IRIE4IPIER:
I've never seen a device of this caliber take this long to receive an AOSP ROM! Wish I knew how guys, I'm tired of the TW ROMS, need some action in this forum already
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
Its obvious that we dont have an aosp rom up and running cuz its not gonna meet expectations of everyone. When its ready it will show up, its being worked on im 100% sure of it, just needs more time for it to become stable for a release on our note 3. All these pictures of people running aosp on their note 3 dont mean **** if its not firing on all cylinders for our device. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
Yes, but the point of AOSP is openness and collaboration - none of which happens when one dev hoards the code for 3 months until everything is 100%. If they would release the code more people could be sharing and dividing the work and we'd have faster progress.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nighthawk626:
Yea the keyword is "open source". I guess the galaxy note 3 is running on iOS now since open source is a pipe dream
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
That I agree with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] IRIE4IPIER:
Why didn't this phone have cm yet? Hell I'll take anything right now, I'm just tired of TW. This forum is a ghost town. Too bad the Nexus 5 is kinda weak, Google no longer makes the device that everyone needs to match. Nexus is just meh and has been the past few iterations. Then since Flash has been completely disabled on Android 4.3, web browsing on Android is as useless as it is on iOS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nighthawk626:
I seriously have zero idea why Google doesn't support flash anymore and why nothing better or rivaling has been implemented to 4.1 and up devices. Seriously I can't watch my pron on the go anymore since web browsers can't play it. Sad times indeed. Hopefully Samsung and tizen are serious and give Google some competition because obviously Microsoft and apple aren't competition enough for them to care much anymore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
It was Adobe that cut Flash from Android and Linux. It seems Adobe is trying to kill Flash itself yet no one listens. A lot of sites now have HTML5 but not all and some won't serve ad videos in it like YouTube. It's annoying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
I disagree about the nexus line being meh lol

Now back when Samsung made the Nexus S & Galaxy Nexus those were meh, Samsung purposely gimped those phones specs down because they wanted their own galaxy S line to succeed(and it did, with much improved hardware)

LG has done a damn fine job working with google on the nexus 4 & 5 which has the same specs as their optimus g & g2 (very well and high rated phones) I gotta give LG some props cuz they were heading the wrong direction after things went sour with the G2X.

(still love that damn phone) but they dure did piss off a crapload of people lol

Only reason I have never bothered with the Nexus line is no sdcard support, I love stock android but if it means sacrificing key features like sdcards or removeable batterys its almost like im giving away my rights to own an android phone and might as well own a crapple device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8killinya:
LoL I haven't bought a LG again after the G2x due to that so yeah I'm one of those
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idtheftvictim:
I have never bought another LG phone either. My last the the G2X also! They pissed me off with that one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] IRIE4IPIER:
Anytime a company tries to imitate touchwiz, then you know they're trash, every move LG has made is a "me too" move after Samsung. For the price, the Nexus 5 is awesome, but I wouldn't rather have that instead of the N3. I'm starting to think 'if' not 'when' we get cm11 on this device, it's gonna be that much better then anything else out there. I pulled my old Nexus S out the closet and put CM11 on it and can't believe how much smoother and faster it is than it was was on Android 4.2

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProTekk:
Sorry for the late response, been busy with work and December is a busy month. From my understanding, noobnl (Shareef Ali) and Slayher (Tony Layher) of CM have most things working for the Note 3 on AOSP other than the camera and in call mic.

I used to be like you guys and get bent out of shape because of people withholding source that may/may not be 100% usable minus some minor details. It's just not worth it and I can understand their stance on it. Think of it this way, if their current device trees were to be released, it'd be a sh*tshow. Sure there wouldn't be any official releases and whatnot but that doesn't stop anyone from copying the trees, running a build and saying "HERE'S A CM BUILD!" that's buggy and non-functional.

The general idea is that ultimately the end-user is responsible for their own device and it's a pay-to-play type of deal when it comes to custom ROMs and experimental builds but could you just imagine the influx of PM's, tweets, complaints, that both of these guys would get asking for help with x,y and z? I've been on that end before and it's not fun. It's risk management. The anger and impatience of a few people isn't worth the hassle of thousands of users potentially breaking their devices and then automatically assuming that the CM team is liable and responsible for fixing these things.

Good things come to those that wait. Remember that. It's a hell of a time of the year to expect any major breakthroughs on a free (financially) product. It's the holiday season and in noobnl's case, crunch time at school. If you want to show your support, donate a few bucks to these guys so they can get a cup of coffee or get a beer. Better yet, if you're that anxious, start diving into the code that's already posted around :)

Alright, back to work for me. I'll keep playing with this in my free time though. Happy holidays guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CrashTestDroid:
Same situation here, the Note 3 has been sitting on my shelf and N5 in daily use just because of the better roms.

But there's good news: CyanogenMod on Note 3 update directly from the source - still in bringup phase, targeting CM 11.0 (December 6).

The good news is the CM 11 part. Prob still selinux and other stuff to fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dkotoric:
hmm may sell it then and order me a N5, I had a N5 but sold it couldn't deal with the battery life, will see, don't know what to do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cwalker29:
I feel bad for the people that going to get rid of their note 3 because cm 11 isn't out yet. I been flashing cyanogen roms since the G1 days. But if a phone is good right out of the box then I can wait until it's ready. Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
True, but I say good riddance to them! Whoever picks up their note 3 will probably appreciate it more than the previous owner. If you want cyanogenmod on your phone sooner than later do some research on who's building it for each phone before purchasing a perfectly functioning phone (note3) that doesn't need cm immediately and already has plenty of Dev support with dope roms/kernels/themes to flash.

Not to forget the best community IMHO are note users :P

Good point. Battery life on N5 is worse than Nexus 4 for me. CM11 can't arrive soon enough for this superb hardware crippled by bloaty junkware roms. Even the slimmest barebone Note 3 rom is enormous and has bloatware you just can't remove, and is missing crucial features we take for granted everywhere else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nikkdotcom:
The fact that the ROMs for the Note 3 are over 1GB is just ridiculous. CM Nightlies come in at under 200MB for my girlfriend's Note II. That's nuts. Im suppose to be getting a Galaxy S4 on Tuesday. I will continue my Note 3 development. We will end up with CyanogenMod for the Note 3 when the Note 4 comes out haha. Steve Klondik did say it was coming soon and we just need to hang in there a bit longer.

Yeah, I saw you over on the Sprint forum....someone over there is working on building liquidsmooth...I believe we can run that on our phones with a TMO kernel, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Yes, we should be able to. I was running Verizone Eclipse ROM last night. Everything works but it takes a bit to set up your network. Everything else should be fine. And I don't know about the Kernel. We wont be able to use any kernel that is here on Xda currently. The maintainer for LiquidSmooth who posted on the Sprint forums forked CM sources for Sprint, Tmobile, and international so he will probably be working on all of them at once.

[Nexus 5 General] fireproofrev:
Hi all, I just want to share my experiences I made today.

I have bought a Wide/Macro Lens like used in the Video (from Amazon, they all seems to be pretty the same) and it is NOT working! The magnets from the lens are not attracting to the magnets in the phone, they are pushing away! Be aware, I don't thing there is a standardized way how the lens manufacturers build in the magnet since it is designed to hold to a metal ring and not to another magnet.

I tried to hold the lens just to take a test picture but the magnet interferes with the OIS, in some positions it caused hard vibrations within the N5's camera lens that was also visible in the camera app preview picture.

I would be careful with this lenses! I think the magnets in the N5 are designed for the OIS and not for some cheap 3rd party lenses. Gladly my OIS still seems to work flawless (This seems also to be why Google is not advertising such feature)
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
It's already known that some cheap ones on Amazon have more-or-less random magnetic polarity. The only ones confirmed for being consistent are the ones on Photojojo. As for messing with OIS, I don't have first-hand experience with these lenses, but it seems that that was also confirmed for not happening with the Photojojo lenses.

Unless you got the Photojojo ones through Amazon. Then you might want to post this in those other threads about this too, so people will see this result.
[Nexus 5 General] Andypandiiee:
You could always take out the magnet and flip it around
[Nexus 5 General] fireproofrev:
I tried to (with a little flat screwdriver), but it seems to be pressed in, it fits very tight. Maybe I try it tomorrow again (heat up a little??).

attached a picture of the lens

(at the amazon picture a silver one was shown but they delivered this black version)
[Nexus 5 General] Stay Frosty:
All of this effort to turn a phone into a camera... Why not just buy an SLR and enjoy real photography? Hell, even a cheap point and shoot blows away any phone camera.
[Nexus 5 General] fireproofrev:
uhm.. this is totally wrong, I don't want a great picture quality, I want a wide-lens to have a wider angle for party snapshots or being out with some friends. You can increase the visibility range alot and I like the effect, so why not? I definitely DONT want to carry a camera all the time (by the way I have also a canon eos d1000, yeah I know it is just a "cheap" DSLR but it is enough for me).

This is not a "camera has too bad quality" thread (IMO the N5 camera is great) so go away :D

By the way, the lens is working perfect with the metal ring on my GNex
[Nexus 5 General] enaybee:
I can also confirm this. I bought these from Amazon. Received these today and when tried to put them on ... the reverse polarity on the magnet on the lens and the one on the camera itself repel each other. I was only able to hold the lens in place with my hand to try out the macro lens (picture attached). However I didn't experience any vibration or OIS not working. OIS was working fine for me. I used HDR+ mode.

Anyways, lenses are going back. Only lens confirmed to work with N5 are from Photojojo and since those lenses are way overpriced I will not buy them.

zoomed out photo was taken at the closest distance where the on-screen camera focus ring turned green. YMMV.

Excuse the fingers in the macro shot as I was holding the lens with one hand while taking the photo.

enjoy ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Cuppeerr:
Here's my post from another thread about this:

Got the photojojo and ehh not impresive at all. Although this one didn't seem to affect the camera like the others. When put up to the camera it didn't flicker like the cheap Amazon ones. Also it required me to have the metal ring attached:(

You're better off going with a product called Easy Macro. It's a macro lens attached to a band that fits around your phone so no magnets:)

Overall for $25 it's not worth it IMO. I'm returnng it and sticking with my easy macro.

Here are some images:)

Here are the full resolution ones taken with my n5 and the fisheye lens. It was an act of god to get it to focus right lol

[Nexus 5 General] reisa:
I ordered the Photojojo's from Amazon -- FROM Photojojo, and it's no-go jojo for my photo phono circo.

Anyway, the magnet doesn't work at all. Not quite reversed polarity that I can tell, but only one small area wants to attract. Not enough to keep the lens on.
