[Nexus 6  General] ixon2001:
With the Nexus 6 being sold in alot more stores & carriers this time around, than past Nexus smartphones anybody think that the price will come down pretty quickly after the New Year.

Being a big Phablet popularity after the new year will probably dwindle, once the geeks and tech heads have got theirs the general public will probably think it just to big.

Then there the case of 2015 smartphones which will all be running either the Snapdragon 64bit 808 or 810 and will come with either 3 or 4GB of ram & smaller QHD screens.

The Nexus 6 on the Play Store will continue at the price it is now for the rest of the year, while the stores will probably drop the price significantly just to shift stock.

I wouldn't be surprised come March or April next year that the price of the 32Gb Nexus 6 is around 350 dollar,pound ect mark pending on which country your from.

What do you think?
[Nexus 6  General] quiwoon:
I don't know how you expect the price to drop by as much as half.

At 350$ the nexus 5 is actually still a good phone. And the nexus 6 competes very well against phones in 700$ range.

Most carrier will just discount the price on contracts because they still make money. The price of buying outright usually never change especially less than a year after launch.

You have to remember that the reason google launched a premium 700$ nexus device was to show that google wasn't going to undercut other manufactures for the android silver program.

For those who aren't aware android silver the the program similar to gpe and android one where manufacture phones run stock android. The biggest reason that the manufactures didn't want to participate was that they couldn't differiante them selves enough if all the devices were running stock and if google had launched the nexus 6 at a 350$ price then Google would just cannabilze the market.

You have to remember that google has no reason to lower prices of nexus 6 and carrier only give people bigger discounts on phones for signing contracts.

Msrp doesn't change so the price of the phone won't. Yes you'll see maybe sales 100$ less within the year but that's a standard trend. Google probably charges 600$ to the retailers why would they sell it for anyless, they are a business not charity
[Nexus 6  General] Mr Ian B:
I don't recall Google lowering prices of their phones at all or by much.

Ian B
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
I can see them lowering it a Benjamin in 6-8 months I don't think that's out of the question
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
The only time that they reduced the price was N4, http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-price-drops-by-100-199-for-8gb-249-for-16gb/

But yeah Google doesn't really bring any of the prices down. If anything, the carriers would for prices on contract.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
I doubt the GPS price will change much, if at all. But it'll definitely become cheaper on places like eBay much more rapidly than previous Nexus devices now that it's sold on contract. It most likely won't be immune from the occasional carrier promotion or price reduction either once it ages a bit.
[Nexus 6  General] franatic08:
LOL...What stock?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
Maybe it's just me, but I make fewer typos with it than swype, meaning it does a better job guessing my swipe. I can swipe without looking at the keyboard a lot of time. The layout is comfortable too.

The only thing is I can't stand the white theme. I Googled and looked in the play store but there doesn't seem to be any theme for it. Does anyone know of a theme for this keyboard? thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pibach:
Totally agree, missing dark theme is a bummer. Couldn't find any.

Edit: there seem to be some patched versions by installing new apk, see here http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/i...our-galaxy-s5-for-easier-typing-dark-0156064/

Anybody tried this on Tab S?

Edit2: works, but small, due to higher resolution.

Edit 3: no ctrl for shortcuts. So this isn't usable.

Currently adb remount will not work with this ROM. For a workaround, please try the following:

cd C:\[wherever/adb/might/be]

adb shell

su --------------> you will need to have freetab awake (no lockscreen) and grant su permission

When the # comes up type:

mount -o rw,remount /system

Then enter. From that point you should be able to execute linux file commands. adb remount is being worked on.

For anyone who wants to keep up w/ changes being made, the checkout link to our svn is:

Are there any screenshots? or info about what this is? is it stock ect... :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
Its pretty close to stock with a few tweaks, I'll add more tomorrow its late and i'm heading to bed.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] chas123:
It is stock debloated (mostly),deodexed, w/ tima and knox gone. This is a pet project for us, so stay tuned for some fun :cyclops:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] OMJ:
What's this talk about a freetab? Lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Scott:
Good job guys!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:
This is so awesome! Finally some gt3 love! Thanks guys, looking forward to some cool stuff.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] svicenty:
Will this work on any tab 3 7 0 or only sprint tabs
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
Sprint Only
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
Thank You! And again Thanks for the help with the Updater script.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Scott:
You got that backwards ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
yep i'll fix it...lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:
Did you guys just pick up free ones from Sprint? Just got my wife and daughter these for Christmas, I've had mine for awhile now. Just glad to see some development. Thanks again...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
I have 3 of them and had them for a while. I had a rom for it way back and just lost interest in it for a while til chas booted me in the a$$ .....lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:
Crap! Just realized im in NE7 firmware....

Does it really matter? they look the same.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
Make a back up in recovery, make sure you compression enabled and flash the rom.

Heres the newest firmware if you decide to update. Use Odin to flash

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:
I thought NE7 was newer, cause the date was 7 days later... ill try it though...

Nevermind I was wrong...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] kkalkan:
it was so good. :)

thanks.

I hope that development continues. :) ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] chas123:
For anyone interested, I updated post #5 with a link to our svn. If anyone needs instructions let us know.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] kkalkan:
Thanks for letting svn. :) svn I follow...

The only thing missing multi language support and aroma setup. ;)

Thanks again. :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
Im working on aroma, We just wanted to get this out to you guys

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Trialsoul:
Thanks for this guys. The Sprint g-tab 3 has nothing really, dev wise. I updated my firmware, flashed twrp and installed this. Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:
Just did the same, now just gotta get xposed all set back up... [emoji3]
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] chas123:
Just committed advanced/extended power menu to the svn. Current R=14. Working on some other stuff as soon as the Thanksgiving crowd clears out.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
I ran into a couple snags with aroma so it may be a another day or 2
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] graffix31:
I would love to test when your ready. excuse my ignorance though. what is this APM all about?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] iknight8:
I have the Galaxy Tab SM-T210r WiFi. Does this ROM solve the move to sd card issue? All the apps/games uses the internal memory.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
This rom is for the Sprint SM-T217S only
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
APM = Advance Power Menu
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] iknight8:
What ROM do you recommend for the tab I have? move apps 2 sd is a real big issue for me :/

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
I wouldnt know as i dont have that tablet. Have you looked in the Gtab thread
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] kkalkan:
very good news. We expect a short period of sharing.. :)

You can change your Notification look to the S5 by changing these 2 lines in the build-prop with a file explorer and a reboot

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Trialsoul:
I have the svn setup/downloaded. How do I get the rom on my phone and or build the rom etc.?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] chas123:
You need 7 zip. Press ctrl, and left click data, Meta-inf, system, and boot.img in you svn folder. When they are all selected right click>7zip> add to archive. When it is done transfer the zip to your phone and flash it like you would any other ROM
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Trialsoul:
Got it. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
Remember to export first
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Trialsoul:
Not too sure what you mean.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] chas123:
Export is probably the best practice, but isn't necessary as long as you remember not to include the

.svn file in the zip. You can create a folder then right click on your svn folder then tortoise >export. When the dialog comes up select the folder that you created.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:
Ive noticed video playback is choppy at times, noy sure why though. ...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:
Any changelog for these revisions? I see were up to 20 on svn...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] chas123:
We are in the preliminary stages right now. If you don't see a notation, it was more than likely something simple. For ex.-I made a bs commit/delete today trying to figure out why Benny couldn't commit to the svn. Also, a lot of the initial commits were cleaning up bloat. If you click on the release # you will see what was changed.

O.M.J is getting a Tab soon so thats another member of the BadBoyz Team on board so all it can do is get better.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gunfromsako:
Wow... I stopped checking this Dev forum because when i got my tab the sprint side was "dead-ish". So happy to see some development going on here! Now its time to upgrade firmware from NE7, install tortoise SVN and get to crackin. First i may have to knock the dust off the T3 as the N7 has been getting most of my love. Now we just need an AOSP rom ;) Thanks again [MENTION=4366089]benny3[/MENTION] and if you need anything (testing) let me know!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] pmacevad:
WiFi good to go on this Rom? I've seen it broken on others. Good to see team badboyz here. Just ordered a m8 h/k edition so I'll be looking forward to trying the team's work out there too. Thanks for developing the Sprint version.

Are you flashing the latest posted rom or svn? I had the same issue, then I built a new rom from svn & flashed.... All good now

Svn, I'll try building it a different way and see if it helps.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

All good now, built the Rom the proper way, export then build. Was doing it a different way before.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] OMJ:
just curious, were u using the "Run_to_build_ROM.bat" script b4? it works good too

we may be posting a N7 ROM too...I've got one ready but needs more mods to make it attractive ;)

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Forscythe87:
Clean Flash and NH4
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Trialsoul:
I did the run to build, it wasn't in earlier svn revisions. I actually did a tortoise export then run to build cause I didn't notice run to build was already in the svn folder.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
ahh i see your post.you have wifi yet?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Forscythe87:
Nope. Went through and did a fresh clean install with no luck. Gonna mess with it a little later tonight.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
What rom were you running before this if any?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GAPO:
Holy cow! Nice Benny! Jsorryman here from the Scott's ROMs forum back in the day. Does this work on the new build?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
Hey whats up J,Yeah this for the latest firmware NH4
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Fester9977:
Is anyone else having trouble getting it to stick? I have flashed 4 times and have not had any luck yet. I am using TWPR and have done a full wipe, then flash the rom. I have done this a total of 4 times with no luck so far. I am sure I am just missing something small.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GAPO:
Downloading now benny! Are you using TWRP? That's what I'm using but an older version. I don't see any newer versions that are compatible with this device?

Use the recovery i posted and be sure the enable compression before making a backup.I would also Odin back to stock Flash the recovery and try again.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] DtownJeff:
No issues here. I used gr8noles root and recovery (TWRP). Wiped everything. Did a fresh install. I did come from the latest firmware. Getting 8500 on quadrant. Very happy with first stable build.

AppOps you will see in settings and you can use to turn stuff off
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GAPO:
All running smooth. Not sure what to look for, really. It'd be nice to have a 4 way reboot menu and a transparent weather widget.

When powering down, i get text at the top of the screen showing which processes are shutting off.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
There is a advance power menu and use xposed for weather widget options. Yeah we all get that text shutting down not sure why but im sure its a samsung thing going on...lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GAPO:
I am not complaining or anything. .it's smooth and cool so far.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Fester9977:
I got it flashed and it is working smooth. The only I am having an issue with is Netflix. Is anyone else getting an error with that?

I am getting (sorry we couldn't reach the netflix service (-9) ). Anyone else seeing this error or have a solution?

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] motoelliot:

Was it odex or deodexd? I know the first rom i did for this tablet had troubles with youtube on deodexed but was fine on odex

Will it work on t210r?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
No this is for the Sprint model only SM-T217S

Still haven't checked Netflix on mine but I will....will check Chromecast as well.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
I believe it has to do with deodexing, We might have to go back to odex

Firmware

I just received my Sprint T217S back from Samsungs repair service because my motherboard went belly-up. It shows my firmware version is now NK1. Is NH4 before NK1 or after? I rooted my device yesterday, so what do I do now to flash this rom.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GAPO:
Have you tried searching for updates? I believe NOW is the latest.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] timberwolf671:
My phone just returned from repair. The first thing I did was an update check. Reply was I have the latest. And yes I have done multiple searches but this tablet is not that popular. There very little information available. Next time u see a question u don't have an answer. Dont reply with have u done a search. U are just adding clutter to the thread.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] graffix31:
Versions numbers go alphabetical. Not for nothing searching I'm sure would have answered your question. Sammobile would have told you the same thing as it had all firmware and the date it was released.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] timberwolf671:
Thank you for begin kind with providing an answer. As you can see I am not new to the android world. But I have been out of it's world for over a 1.5 years. And sometimes searching to lead you down so many paths that you come out more confused then before you started. Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] benny3:
EDIT: tep just checked sammobile and NK1 is it Its still 4.4.2 tho

NK1 eh? Is it 4.4.4? I seen TMO was updating their Gtab to 4.4.4 so maybe we are next
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] dincdoes.me:
Gpt NK1 a few days ago rooted right after i got the update on my tab. It said it was only security updates.. no 4.4.4 sorry guys
