[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MasterZii:
I'll make one thing clear. I am not interested in upgrading to ICS, as I will lose all contents on my phone, and I don't feel like backup up and restoring everything, so I'm keeping Gingerbread. I'm more comfortable using it.

But I do need to root my phone. Can I do so without unlocking the bootloader?

I hear people say it's impossible to root an AT&T LT28. Is this true?

If not, how can I root my Xperia Ion? Any links?

I'd appreciate the simplest version, as I don't want to brick my phone

Thanks, Zii

Hy i'm a little scared, i don't see a lot of dev on this tablet.

Is there a problem?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] sameer1807:
I don't think a solution go the Knox trip has emerged so not many want to void their warranty for root ability
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
A) It's expensive. B) It's sold in low volumes. C) 10" tablets aren't the sweet spot for Android tablets, 7-8" are. D) It's even worse for 3G/LTE tablets of all types and sizes. E) There will be tumbleweeds in the Pro forums because the 12" is a niche product and the 10" is overpriced; especially compared to the N10.1-14.

Samsung sold 60M SGS4's and 40M N3's in 2013. They'll be lucky to sell 10M Pro's and Note's across all sizes combined. Devs are attracted to popular high-volume devices. We don't have a popular high-volume device. ;)

P.S. - [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] is dev-ing for the P600 which is quite a coup.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nirurin:
The original note10 was a niche device too, but it had a fair amount of development done for it. The main issue is that there is no root available for the 600 version, that doesnt trip knox, and there is no incentive for someone to make such a root cos the bounty for it was already taken... even though the root wasnt ever actually completed.

Fingers crossed something will come up during all the note-pro development that will be usable across all the exynos devices. Though I'm getting a lot of good usage out of it anyway without root, and I'm in the UK and we are still stuck on the old old MJ6 rom, so kit-kat (when it turns up) will be a decent upgrade as it is.

If you require a lot of rooting and messing around with roms, I believe the snapdragon version is pretty much your only choice. Unfortunately it seems to be... significantly more expensive, and hard to get hold of, at least where I am.

I actually would recommend just getting the exynos one and just waiting, or root and forget about knox. Unless you really really need 4G for some reason.

I may have gone off topic with this. I'm tired. Need food.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Elim:
The problem for me is: development for what? I have CleanRom on it and dont have any point which can be improved by a CustomRom. But the time is changing, scrosler sell his note and the next update will come. So, I will try to be prepared and make my own ROM and when it is good enough, I will publish it here.

So, all this is only a matter of need (and knox really didn't count for a developer). So, when someone here missing something, why not doing it? This is not a supermarkt here but a developer community and you will get here all help you need.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
How many Android tablets were there when the OG G-Tab was released? Three or four? And they were all 10" and powered by the same Teg2 SoC. So devs (who are typically early adopters) were spread out across fewer devices. There are dozens of Android tablets now and a couple of them are Nexi which are favorites of developers. The N10.1-12 had decent dev support but not like the OG G-Tab (I owned both). And the 3G and LTE versions had very little dev support.

I agree KNOX has made a subset of folks who may have rooted previously hesitant but that's not the only reason people are staying stock. Today's h/w and s/w has become so much more powerful the need to root has kind of become less important. I used to root and ROM my head off because it was almost necessary to get decent performance. There's still some benefit but it's not nearly as pronounced as it used to be. Factor in potential warranty issues and DRM problems and the risk/reward becomes questionable. The last device I rooted was my N2 because my N3 and N10.1-14 are fine (for me) stock. If you look at the general sections of popular devices on XDA there's a lot more threads about new stock updates and questions about functionality then there are about modding. And to everyone's point, KNOX sure hasn't helped.

All just my opinion of course. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] benjamimgois:
Im a little upset too. I use to have a galaxy tab and used cyanogenmod since the very first days. But the old Texas instruments dual core core was slugshing in the last android iterations. So I switched to galaxy note 10.1 2014 and there's no cyanogenmod for it. Is there any u official build for it ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Duly.noted:
Im also thinking about deving a rom. Im going to the 12.2 (better for my needs) and I'm starting to read up on rom development. May talk to scrosler and try to make something similar to clean rom
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] clouds5:
Give it some time :) i used to have the transformer prime tf201 and it felt like 5 people were active in the xda forums for that device :laugh:

And even the tf201 got some amazing custom ROMs in the end (androwook! ). I think everyone is waiting for a new base (4.4) atm.

And regarding cyanogen mod, those Roms are usually not so popular on samsung note devices because they don't have s - pen support. I personally am very happy with the improved and tweaked stock Roms we have. They are perfect for this particular device. That said, It's always nice to have options.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GldRush98:
The device is still fairly new. Give it some time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Naith32:
I need to be able to add ANY app to the multi-window list, but as far as I can see it can only be done with a rooted device. The fact that you basically void your warranty once rooted is putting me off big time from buying one. :(

Looks like I'll be sticking with my Note 8.0 for a bit longer...

I'll have to look into that. Still no guarantee that the apps I want to use in multi window well work ok... Mmm
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Qbm:
I'll be all over 4.4! I'll be making a rom and kernel for p600 and p601. I don't have much experience in building but squeezing every last ounce of speed out of devices now that's my strong point.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] redrover69:
Damn

I just got a 10.1 2014 tab...32gb from walmart...

better off returning it and waiting on a nexus 10'?

I would have gotten a 7" or 8" tab but I got a note 3...not worth it...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] TabGuy:
Sorry, those excuses don't fly. The same excuses exist for the original Tab 10.1 yet there are many ROMs available. In fact, there are still active ROM developers for the original Tab.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nrage23:
They have to fly because it is what is happening. People donated to get Scrosler a Note 2014 and he has sold it. Knox has scared off most development also. I am happy with it running stock rooted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lotus49:
I agree that the issue is mainly due to Knox but also down to the cost of the tablet.

I have rooted every Android device I've had (and I've had a few) until the Note 10.1 2014. I don't care about not being able to install a 3rd party ROM but I very much care about root as some of my favourite apps (e.g. Sixaxis Controller, Titanium Backup) require root to work.

If the new N10 had been out at Christmas I would have bought that but it wasn't (although at this rate it never will be).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mustbepbs:
Do you know how long people have been "waiting" for the new Nexus 10? Like, 8 months.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] suzook:
We need to get a tab for beanstown, He has an 'AOSP" like rom, but with touchwiz features left in place. I can get a like new tab for about $350 shipped. Thoughts???
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nabour:
I'm also concerned about lack of development. I have the P600 -- rooted right out of the box. I hesitated for a moment because the Knox issue and lack of warranty, but I've been rooting phones and tablets for quite awhile and have never had to return anything under a warranty issue. (Although I have bricked a couple and was rescued by MobileTechVideo.)

I installed CleanRom, which is darned perfect. Hope Mr. Crosler sticks with us, at least until another developer picks up the ball. He has indicated that he probably will.

I do have a question -- I notice that the ROMS are different for the different varients (600 vs. 605). And that the ROMS are specific to varient.

Has the 600 been overshadowed by the LTE version? Or are they still both "current." Any ideas?

Thanks,

Barbara
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] cantfindanick:
actually, HTC Explorer (2012) is a tiny little 3.2 inch phone with just 256MB Rom for development got so much development.

It was released with 2.3.5 GB with sense 3.5

it got

sense 4

sense 5

xperia ui

touchwiz

has stable 4.4.2

All kinds of modded roms (Omni, Cyanogen,PAC, etc...)

Nokia X Rom

Firefox OS

these are the ones that i remember and device is no where popular as galaxy ace or even galaxy fame.

looks like devs dont like p600 much, sale numbers are not an issue
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dr.m0x:
I'm not buying any hardware for anyone. When the Dev decides they can't be bothered and sell the tab you'll be kicking yourself.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Duly.noted:
Yeah we bought one for scrosler and he sold the darn thing. Seriously he needs to give people their money back. We bought it for him to develop on not to make one rom sell it and keep the money. I moved to the 12.2 but if still pisses me off a little bit. Yeah he wanted his nexus 7 back but we would have rather bought one of those too than have him sell the Note. All because he doesn't see the point in a 10' tablet.

I'm so sad to see that for the P605 it's the sun shining but for the P600 it's raining !!!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nrage23:
Scott is gone. He got the tablet with the help of donations from people on the forums. He created his Rom and sold the tablet. He seems to currently working on the Tab Pro 8.4 which someone helped him get. He did state once KitKat came out he would put out a CleanRom for it on the Note 2014.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] RTbar:
Im glad im not the only one who thinks its kinda messed up for a dev to bail so soon on our tab and to buy another with the proceeds. The rom he made is good, but whoever donated was in a sense an "investor", and by investing in the dev people expected a decent return on their investment. To me this means some level of ongoing support, but sadly it looks like out tab will be an afterthought at best. I would be willing to bet that most people who donated would NOT have done so, had they of known up front that we would be getting about 2 months worth of support and then funding the dev's purchase of an unrelated tablet. There is always the chance that the dev will indeed continue to support the note 2014 with big releases but considering how little we have heard from him i wouldnt expect much
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mustbepbs:
This is precisely why I don't donate for device purchases for developers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] hashcheck:
I will work on mine some more and bring out shortly with latest base ROM! I think its so wrong to be accepting donations too fund device and bail..... So wrong
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nabour:
Well, guys, if you read the forum carefully you will see that not all developers have abandoned our device. Developer of CleanRom, for example, got rid of his Galaxy Note 10.1 because he didn't like the size of it. But he specifically said he could borrow one to use for development. I don't believe he ever said he was abandoning this rom.

Just my $.02

Barb
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nrage23:
I have donated to developers once they released roms or kernels. I have never donated to anyone so they could buy something. I do however believe they owe me nothing. They do what they do because they like to do it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Duly.noted:
I think you missed his point. We bought it for development not so he could Use it to dev one Rom and then sell it to get his other one back and pocket $300 of our dollars. In essence he stole $300 after saying he tends to Keep things long term to dev on them. It is disapointing especially when he stops replying on the forum too. Yay he made a good Rom and can dev on other peoples notes. That doesn't change anything.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ps000000:
I think because there are many model of SS products.

(some model has many variant ie P600 P601 P605 etc.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
Noone stole anything from anyone. Some people always think they can get everything for free and once they pay a little they expect that they can fly to the moon with 300$. It honestly isn't much for the time you have to put into developing something. I'm not sure how long it takes to build a Rom. From developing other things I would imagine it taking a couple of hours. Why have a device lying around that you don't really need? doesn't make sense economically.

I'm happy I got Cleanrom and the custom kernel, I removed almost everything tw. Its my fastest device and I couldn't be happier with it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Duly.noted:
Maybe your happy but many of us aren't. The fact is he gave us 1 rom with 2 updates then sold it and pocketed $ 300 of of dollars when he still devs on a 2 year old s3 and Note 2. Uhm how is that economical? If he wasn't going to continue to support us actively for a decent amount of time (or hell even answer questions on the thread) most of us wouldn't have bought the Note for him.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
Its uneconomical for him to keep a device that he doesn't use. That is unused money that is lying around. I didn't donate any money, but I can understand that you feel like you have been tricked.

I believe that the devs that believe in a device are the best ones. Those will buy a device from their own money and support it as long as they use it. Buying a dev a device will only motivate him so long as the device is new and he hasn't gotten bored of it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Khazaad:
seems like a lot of people here are way of the mark with how this works.

do you work for free? do you have any idea how much it would cost if you paid the salary of the people/person developing this stuff?

it may not have been the classiest move to sell your "donation" but if I contributed $50 and got a cool ROM as a result I wouldn't care if the dev used it to buy a snow man in June.

in life, you get what you pay for. and sometimes you're lucky like us and get it for free.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nrage23:
He does not really owe anyone anything but Go to the Galaxy Tab Pro forums. He has bought a Pro 8.4 and is developing for that. He also bought a HTC One Max. He put out 1 rom with 3 updates for the Max and then sold it. Apparently he is back to the Note 3 for phones.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] dr.m0x:
He kind of does if people donated toget him a tablet on the basis that he would support it. It's not very sporting at the least.

Hyperdrive for P600

I've read through this thread and understand there is a lot of bad feelings toward past developers who have accepted funds to purchase tablets and then bailed..............

That being said, I'm very close to getting a Note P600 into the hands of SBreen, who develops the Hyperdrive Rom. Mr. Breen is excited to begin working and supporting a rom for our tablet. I've used his Rom on devices in the past, and they are top quality. His reputation as a develop is top-notch.

Lot of folks have bemoaned the fact that there is little development for the P600 - if you are willing to kick in even a little I would appreciate it. If you can't then that's fine.

Thanks,
