HTC HD2 gets one but not the Note 3? That makes sense. ?
I guess it's because our AT&T version is still locked. We can't even get a port of the 5.1 from the S6, Note 4 or Note 5 because the bootloader is locked and we can't change the kernel. That's what I understand.
The problem is that it's now an old phone that is also locked, no developer will work on this anymore. I'm on Aurora and it's really good and everything, but I'm guessing that it won't continue further...

I decided to stay with ATT but not too use their phones. I decided to use a phone with an easily unlockable bootloader and Android 6 like the Nexus 5X or 6P. I decided to go with the 128 gig 6P after over 2 years with the ATT Note 3. No regrets here (other than having 1 warranty replacement relating to the 3.5mm jack). Battery life is so much better that the Note 3 (might be partially due to Marshmallow) with its 3450mAh battery. Along with fast charging. Also several tools for those not wanting use fastboot or ADB commands. There are 20 something roms to choose from at the present.

The Nexus 6P is also 5.7 inches just like the Note 3.
My main issue and if it had the alternitive I would get it NOW. I wish it had a removable battery. I keep my phones for YEARS and use my phone A LOT. I go through 2 charges a day. I travel a lot so I use my gps, and my business runs through my phone, as does my other job, so I get phone calls like crazy, texts, emails, gps, games, etc. My phone goes through hell and I keep it for years at a time. If the Nexus 6p had a removable battery I would hop on it.

LG g5 I like the g4 I only have the note 3 because I switch to cricket 35 bucks a month . But if you want a big screen And horse Power with a removable battery do the g5 plus the battery life Is wayyyyy better so you might not even need that feature.

I wish there is other good phone w/ decent stylus aside from the Note series from Samsung. Just a bit of competition, that's all I ask for, but none. Right now I'm the Note 4 international, and I might stuck with it for another year depend on what the future hold. The problem with Samsung is that it take them forever to get ROM update. It has been 6 months and there is still no Marshmallow. OK, forget the Marshmallow, just the damn bugs fixed would keep me safer, but no. So, the choice is left between running unstable up-to-date custom ROMs or running older ROM but not have up-to-date patches. Seriously, I'm so ready to ditch Samsung any moment now.
