My 16 months old GNote is already outdated/underpowered for LimePie android? Seriously..? Why? Does the Android 5.0 requires minimum a Quadcore at 1.5GHz? Really? W*nkers.

I'm a member over XDA too. Been using custom ROMs since 2004. But that's not the case.. I would still have like to see some official support for it. It's not that underpowered or anything..

I still get Quadcore performance(1000-1100ms) in Sunspider with my Cassie's XLite JB Rom dammit.

Anyway.. It was a fun ride.. I will hold on it until GNote 3 with its rumored 5.99" screen.
