I'm in the same boat. I've decided on the HTC One m8 since you can have the best of both worlds (Google Play Rom should be available soon) and the hardware is fantastic. I just hope I don't get flak for Knox being tripped and that is the reason for me giving up on Samsung devices since I like to tinker with my devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mattlgroff:
I wouldn't jump to the S 5 since the bootloader is allegedly locked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Whosdaman:
Damn...well I would bet a lot of money that it will be unlocked in a week after release. Anyone wanna take me up on that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevessvt:
I would have thought the same about resetting 0X1 knox, too, but we all know that hasn't happened yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Whosdaman:
True lol

Pointless...

Here's a link to T-Mobile's S5 webpage with specs...

http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-s-5.html

I have an honest and legit question for you, actually a question I've been thinking about as well since I am ready to JUMP as of yesterday.

Why go get a S5 that has

a. A smaller screen then the Note3

b. 2gb of ram instead of the Note3's 3gb

c. Doesn't have the S-Pen (debatable depending on your actual use)

d. Both run KitKat stock

I understand the S5 has a 2.5ghz quad core and the Note3 only (lol) has a 2.3ghz quad core but is that .2ghz really nominal? I don't personally think so. Plus you loose 1gb of ram, which to me (running lots of apps) is a big deal.

I honestly have to say after doing some research, until T-Mobile releases a phone substantially better than the Note3 I have no reason to JUMP.

Opinions?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Whosdaman:
I just don't like the lack of support for the device in the Dev community. Also, I'm tired of having such a big phone. It's a little excessive IMO
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djnuffsaid:
I agree with you on the dev part in a way. Yes, we don't have as much dev support (like the s2, s3, s4) but I think the dev support we do have is very solid. Yeah the jump to KK is buggy but that will go away soon enough. and if .6" less of screen really makes a huge difference of how much space it takes up in your pocket, then maybe you should buy a larger size of pants LOL jk man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Whosdaman:
Lol, well like I said I'm more leaning towards nexus 5, and potentially iPhone 6 or Nexus 6 later this year. Just because I want to try the new thing :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djnuffsaid:
Touché.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Whosdaman:
I definitely will. No worries about that. I've had a lot of people say get the HTC one since it has Dev edition. Which makes sense because it is basically the more improved nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nighthawk626:
What are you talking about, we've got: cm, carbon ROM, temasek, will03, team gummy, probably others that I'm missing. You've only got one phone, how much flashing do you actually do? But this phone beasts every phone out there as far looks and specs go
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Whosdaman:
Enough to know I have 2.

Besides, cm you can't even make phone calls from. And most of those you listed are cm based. The problem is that cm doesn't have active devs working on fixing the issues. We still don't have NFC, which plagues every ROM that is cm based. When the source isn't being worked on, how can you expect the rest to be any better? Really the best ROM out for the Note 3 is either carbon, if you like it, or stock KitKat. Pretty sad from what I see. Especially since I got this phone mainly for the development support and because it is so bad ass. But what good is that when you can't get consistent performance out of any of the roms, including stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
It won't.

I returned a Knox 0x1 Note 3 to T-Mobile under the basic manufacturer's warranty (I don't pay for insurance because I never, ever destroyed a phone in my life) and got a brand new replacement, no questions asked. Many others have reported success returning/trading in Knox 0x1 devices to T-Mobile as well; do a search.

The only things they care about are no physical damage, untripped liquid intrusion sticker, and that it turns on. T-Mobile's refurbisher resets the Knox flag back to 0x0 when they refurbish the phone anyway. Obviously, flash it back to unrooted stock and do a factory reset before you send it in.

Cost me a total of $20 for the T-Mobile warranty processing fee.

If you send it back straight to Samsung, though, they'll deny warranty service as BER (beyond economical repair). T-Mobile FTW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevessvt:
This may help in your decision.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jmichaels1982:
I see your point

Right that is the current situation. I am just afraid of the future since I am sure t-mobile will catch on to it with samsung denying claims for knox tripped phones. Hence my statement, go get a knox free phone that you can mod without fear of losing Jump in the future.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

How do you Jump to a developer edition device ? I thought these are not offered on t-mobile Jump plans
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Whosdaman:
They aren't, but you can convert it to the Dev edition
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
IPhone the way to go.

TWEAKED N3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nighthawk626:
Definitely iPhone. Lots of fun to be had by all with the iphone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jfree3000:
If you are talking about tap and pay, we never had that unless you count isis. Most aosp roms are based on cm, which is unfortunate but I can't complain because I'm not a developer in any shape or form.

My last HTC device was the evo3d and obtaining s-off was quite the experiment, Samsung is getting out of hand with knox though. As mentioned the only phones that will be left unlocked in the future are nexus devices and the lack of an sd card had permanently swayed me from them. Just my. 02
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] skyyrocket:
Op I am kind of in the same boat as you... I love my note 3 and everything about.. but the way I look at it with current line of 2014 is......

GS5: good device turning out to be one of Samsungs best of everything (screen battery and performance) yea it has Knox and possibly a locked down bootloader but idk if you had any hands on time but this device is freaking smooth and fluid so if performance holds up to be true stock may be the way to go.

HTC one M8: beautiful device sense 6 is a really good and optimized skin. I play with the new m8 and it's a really good device but from m7 experiences I know the camera is very hit or miss and compared to others I'll be lack luster in shots and battery life is questionable and from results I seen it's mixed in my opinion.

IPhone: best solution if you wanna be bored in a week. I had the iPhone 5s and don't get me wrong it's a really solid device but battery life sucks and since you was complaining about development on the note 3 I highly doubt you want a device with no dev and have to worry about jailbreaking.

Nexus 5: I liked this device I used it for about 3 months and it's a very round device only problem I had its boring lol its just like ios stock Android it gets doll and boring.. what I want is the G3 maybe or just wait for the note 4

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
No.

Read MSM8x26 specs, and then look at your question ;) (Snapdragon 400 SoC doesn't support x64 ...)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KuGeL94:
Ok, sorry I didnt know that. Too bad, would a 64bit os be better for smartphones anyway?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
Yes and no,

for a device like ours with less than 1GB of ram it is mostly useless,

for higher end device, it could be interesting though :)

(to complete previous post, we have a MSM8226)

It will be a year or more until a 64 bit processor will be able to be fully utilized. Phone manufacturers and app developers both have to get on board.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keestupillo:
Hello,

I am trying to understanding how MediaCodec is used for hardware decoding.

My knowledge in android internal is very limited.

Here is my findings:

There is a xml file which represents the codec details in the android system .

device/ti/omap3evm/media_codecs.xml for an example.

Which means, that If we create a codec from the Java Application with Media Codec

MediaCodec codec = MediaCodec.createDecoderByType(type);

It should be finding out respective coder with the help of xml file.

I am trying to figure our which part of the code is reading xml and find the codec based on given 'type'.

1) Application Layer : MediaCodec codec = MediaCodec.createDecoderByType(type);

2) MediaCodec.java -> [frameworks/base/media/java/android/media/MediaCodec.java ]

public static MediaCodec createDecoderByType(String type) {

return new MediaCodec(type, true /* nameIsType */, false /* encoder */);

}

3) private MediaCodec(

String name, boolean nameIsType, boolean encoder) {

native_setup(name, nameIsType, encoder); --> JNI Call.

}

4)

JNI Implementation -> [ frameworks/base/media/jni/android_media_MediaCodec.cpp ]

static void android_media_MediaCodec_native_setup (..) {

.......

const char *tmp = env->GetStringUTFChars(name, NULL);

sp<JMediaCodec> codec = new JMediaCodec(env, thiz, tmp, nameIsType, encoder); ---> Here

}

from frameworks/base/media/jni/android_media_MediaCodec.cpp

JMediaCodec::JMediaCodec( ..) {

....

mCodec = MediaCodec::CreateByType(mLooper, name, encoder); -> Call goes to libstagefright

....

}

sp<MediaCodec> MediaCodec::CreateByType(

const sp<ALooper> &looper, const char *mime, bool encoder) {

sp<MediaCodec> codec = new MediaCodec(looper);

if (codec->init(mime, true /* nameIsType */, encoder) != OK) {

return NULL;

}

return codec;

}

status_t MediaCodec::init(const char *name, bool nameIsType, bool encoder) {

...

}

I am struck with this flow. If someone points out how to take it forward would help a lot.

thanks.

Hello!

Is it possible to remove Sign 'Swipe to unlock' on stock 4.4 firmware?

P.S. Screenshoot from 4.3
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] OmarEinea:
a simple (decompile, edit, recompile) for your ROM's XperiaLockScreen.apk would be enough to remove it for good;)

if you wan't help with that, just tell me which you're using and I'll edit its XperiaLockScreen.apk and upload it for you as flashable Zip
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] v0rtex604:
Thanks for help!

This is framework-res.apk from my phone

http://rghost.ru/53765023
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] OmarEinea:
I'm terribly sorry about this delayed reply, after hours of trying, it turned out, Samsung puts the lockscreen hint in framework-res.apk,

while Sony puts it in an individual app (it was in UxpNxtLockScreen.apk in the previous Sony lockscreen),

and now that they have changed there lockscreen to a brand new one, they changed the lockscreen apk name as well,

to become (XperiaLockScreen.apk).

Anyway, all that might be not important, all you need is something to remove that silly hint with, right!!

this is a flashable zip that contains a modded XperiaLockScreen.apk from Sony KK Generic firmware,

it should work on all Sony KK official or based ROMs, and the message won't appear in all languages;)

Tested on my Z1C using [KITKAT] D5503_14.3.A.0.681_Generic by Munjeni

Enjoy
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] trewelu:
Does it means we can extract the apk from 4.3 and use it in 4.4? Or will it not work due to some internal change in 4.4? I like 4.3 lockscreen betetr
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] OmarEinea:
I don't think it is that simple, cuz there are some other files (maybe in /framework or /lib),

if you look for it in google for example (port Sony lock screen) you should find all the info about what files you need to change to get 4.3 lockscreen on KK, [I'll look into it but I might not post anything about it, will see;)]

also one last thing, it would be better if you change this thread's title to (something like):

Well it has been fun guys, I have definitely loved the experience of having the HTC One, but my 6 months are up and quite frankly, I just don't want it anymore. Bad battery life and an extremely hot back is just a turn-off. Anyway, it has been a great experience, and the community has been awesome for the most part. I just have one question to ask before I go for good...

Which one do I get???

Galaxy S5 or the Nexus 5??? OR maybe something else? I do not know how I feel about the new HTC One just yet, but I think I want to switch away. Please help me decide XDA!
