QUOTE(gin&tonic @ Dec 2 2013, 06:59 AM) Note 2 will sorely miss him painfully. His note 3 is exynos version as it is the only version available in India. And plus he does not like to build roms for devices he do not have, I doubt we will be using his rom (which is already available) in Note 3.  Note 3.

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Dec 2 2013, 09:50 AM) here's something to think about when it comes to custom roms, especially those with Note 3 features. About apps, if it is a paid app, xda will ban and remove the roms. If it is a free app no issues since you can also download it anyway.in a way, one can say these ROMS are infringing on copyright by providing these features. some of these features may actually be copyrighted/ patented (be thankful we're not talking about fruit company that practically patent anything and everything). if they are not 'featured' in any official stock Note 2 ROMS, then by adding these into the ROMS... you get what i mean, right? i mean... when we expand this further, we'll end up with people putting stuff like Asphalt, Final Fantasy, etc into their ROM -- maybe just because they like it. no doubt these Note 3 features are 'made by Samsung', but technically, unless they said its OK (or by bundling it with Note 2), otherwise, it can be considered piracy, no?  wow... heavy stuff to start the week...? On features, look at it this way. Everyone that is using the rom is already using a samsung and had technically bought the feature with the phone anyway.  But there are features/mods/apps taken from other phones like sony, htc, etc. So in a way we can say it is piracy. But the companies do not seem to be bothered as this had been going on for years. Probably cos,1. Taking features/mods/apps from other devices is usually prone to some missing things/hardware that will make it not 100% functional 2. Its a kind of advertising for other manufacturers to lure future buyers. 3. Its just not worth it for them to pursue anything. 4. I dunno your guess is as good as mine |
