I have 4.3 on my note 2 with all the note 3 apps and features, courtesy the ditto note 3 rom. .
I also have the nexus 7 2013 with 4.4.2.. but I prefer my note 8.

... I want my note 8 to get updated to the new Kit kat from Samsung... Come on Sammy. . Just do it:rolleyes:

P.s. For the note 2 on stock 4.3... They are getting the new S note from note3 as an update in Samsung apps

Yes, please update the note 8. While the cusrom is not so much, i rely on with the stock rom to be updated. Please give us the Kit Kat.

A port from the Note 3 is really, really bad ass hard work. You musst port them over from Quallcomm to Exynos, thats really hard. So don't expect this.

yeah I was kind of hoping this would be easy port, but as you pointed out from Quallcomm to Exynos thingy is makes this even more challenging.
Another thing that I have been trying several ported Note 3 (4.3) apps to our Note 8, but not all of them work because of 4.3 framework dependability i assume. you know if we at least make our note 8 look like stock 4.3, that would be probably good enough for a lot of us here :laugh:

if you all do the same, means we may eventually get their attention.

I don't think Samsung is going to give up this form factor in their note series. 10 inches is becoming too big for a lot of consumers and the 7/8 inch tablets are really doing well. It would shock me if they don't end up releasing another 8 inch Note tablet. I'm guessing that, like the Note 8, the next iteration will come out later than the rest. It just gives them another new thing to sell in a slow part of their product cycle.

8 inch note is perfect.. Samsung galaxy note 8.0 is an all rounder.. enough ram, good processor , can handle almost all games.. very productive tool.. with new 4.4 UI it will only get better. battery life will be improve further and it is portable.. size is just enough to watch videos , write down notes.. voice calling capabilities.. it covers almost all the requirements.. all it needs is a good firmware and if samsung gives 4.4 with the magazine it will be awesome and complete. Samsung hope you will do the needful.

I've read that some folks who upgraded to Kit Kat have lost the ability to tether. If that is the case, I definitely won't be upgrading.

1) where can i find 4.4 omni for note 8, cannot find in dev section
2) ppl keep saying will lose s-pen feautures with custom rom. Which feutures exactly?

I like the multi window on omni, which is the main strength of this note

    @sbrissen doing a great job with Official CM, so one Developer is there @civato for a stockbased ROM, two developer are here @ryukiri make OMNI for us, in future (when this odd storage problem is fixxed) OMNI is Official.
    Offcource there are more Devs, great Devs, but this Three are the popular in the Note 8 Section (since i am lurking here :D )

    A port from the Note 3 is really, really bad ass hard work. You musst port them over from Quallcomm to Exynos, thats really hard. So don't expect this.

    The only thing i missed is a Custom Kernel like civatos for CM :D

    I'm willing to attempt to make a custom kernel this summer when I have more free time. Right now, I'm super pressed on time due to loads of school work, tests, and stuff.

    And to clarify some confusion, Omni IS official for us right now, just no nightlies yet as I'm still working on adding support in the kernel. Also, PAC 4.4 will be official when everything is ready. (We're all working to add new features and stabilizing stuff to give you guys the best possible experience).

    You would think that Samsung would at least give us 4.3 for the smart watch integration. I thought that's why they pushed out the updates for the S3 and the Note 2.
