Root [International] FYI-Developers not supporting Exynos powered phones...

[drexappeal]

Posting this in here too because I didn't want it to get lost in the other thread, for all of you that plan on rooting the Note 2 and were hoping to use a custom ROM from CyanogenMod Team.

Samsung loses some developer support for Exynos-based phones - General News - RootzWiki - RootzNews - RootzWiki

:-(

Not enough to dissuade me, but it certainly doesn't give me high hopes for stable roms...

Doesn't change my mind either.

Is it still a problem after this:
Samsung releases Galaxy Note II source code, gives modders a big fish to fry -- Engadget ?

Not sure if it is about the same topic, so just asking to get some more knowledge on the subject.

Ooh, the plot thickens. Maybe this is the real reason developers won't work with exynos processor phones.

I sure hope Sammy patent this.. Is would never be able to use this?

Google should help make this work.. Not fighting it.

This would be a huge differentiator.

You can bet if a patent hasn't been filed for yet Apple is probably in the process as we speak.

I was thinking about getting one but if there isn't going to be ROM support then it is a dead issue.

But you can still "root" the phone to gain super user access correct?

Just not a "CyanogenMod" rom...there is other roms isnt there?

Yes, still rootable (from my understanding), just certain developers not supporting to create custom ROMs for it. There are a lot of developers out there that create custom ROMs, but CyanogenMod is one of the most popular, which I'm sure could be a deal breaker for certain people that enjoy their ROMs.

I would kindly point the ROM Developers to this link for Samsung ExYnos Downloads:
