I decided no roms this time around. I want everything to work. I will likely root to get rid of some bloat. Anyone else?

You're not alone. I was trying the same approach. So far I like what the note offers.

I will say that this is one of the ONLY phones that I ever thought about NOT romming but I doubt I will be able to hold back if something really good comes out...Hello, I am Justin, I am a flashaholic!
GOTTA have root access though... Can't have any company telling me what I HAVE to keep on my phone! :good:
My exact same thoughts. I only rooted to get rid of the bloat. Quick question though. ... im a little nervous... would I still be able to update if tmobile decides to push one even though im rooted?

I hope not to also but when a new version of android comes out and no update from the carrier then flashing seems like the only option..
Cm10 with S pen functionality is that possible?
Should get rid of CarrierIQ at least =/
Paranoid is a must on this phone. Will likely wait until there is a stable release.

Deff agree on that one. But alas, i will miss alot of the OG functions from touchwiz on this phone. Although with GN1, they found work arounds for it. Especially S Note.
My plan is to root as late as I can to avoid messing things up. I figure we won't see an update for a few weeks and by then all the bugs that come along with rooting a phone should be worked out. I really enjoy this phone and can, surprisingly, wait on rooting.

I know when I rooted that if I go to check for a software update it says it won't do it on a modified device so I am pretty sure we won't get OTA's through the rooted devices but you can just wait for someone to post the updated OTA and flash that and your good to go!
Or do you still have stock recovery?
Only rooted for bloat and spyware removal and a nice kernel. But im only flashing stock TW based roms!

The only way I will install a custom rom on the note 2 is if they come out with Android 4.1.2 , 4.2, or Key Lime Pie.

I'll still get a custom ROM but only those based on stick for full s pen and camera usage. Can't give those up

OK, so I got my GSIII a week ago. Having come from the Vibrant,. I am well versed in rooting and flashing custom ROMs. My question is whether I should go ahead and root the phone now or just wait a few more weeks for official JB to hit T-Mobile. Thoughts?
It takes two minutes if you're slow. In fact, you could have rooted faster than you typed your post
I pondered the same thing. Decided to wait. Althougb thqt could change any time.

Root now and flash the many awesome custom roms available.
Just root now. If anything the official jb will probably still have bugs.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Lol who knows how long it takes until they send ota update
This is something i always wonder why people debate on which to do. Why would you wait? Im sure most here are here to take advantage of being able to root and use SU permissions??? So if you root/flash now you will have a rooted OTA JB rom in no time from release. Why wait? My thoughts at least lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just root and flash a recovery, then make an immediate full backup of your stock rom. I personally hate TW so there was no going back since day one haha
Root now. Who knows if jb will allow you to root.

OP, where you from? And what carrier?
Rogers in Canadiana with nothing yet. I did hear rumours of an update for the S3 and quite possibly the Note 2's starting tomorrow though. But I've given up on rumours.
AT&T here in the US and completely stock Note 2 and no update via Kies or AT&T that I can see.
U got that because u on a custom Rom. Every one I tried I have that notification.
Nada. Simmer down.

No update on the Rogers note 2.
I'm rooted and I checked for the OTA update and their was no update, said I had the latest version. I want to go back to stock rom now because every time I read about installing a custom rom it breaks something else on your phone and you have to wait for a fix for that.
Rooting your phone with custom roms takes too much time and energy. I don't have time to research different roms and play with my phone everyday. Ill just wait for ATT to come out with their updates, So if someone can link me to have to get back to ATT's I317 stock rom that will be great, thanks.
This OP's started a raucous, and does anybody notice that they've miraculously gone AWOL since the 1st post...??? Oh, and 0 (zero) individuals have successfully retrieved this "phantom" update?! Seems like a weak (yet successful) attempt at stirring the pot,
if you ask me...
Just my $.02...
I didn't install it because I was on a custom ROM.
AT&T and using jedi 3.1
If you're on a custom ROM, especially if it's a port, then you shouldn't even bother starting a thread like this.
I am on a custom Rom and also got the update notification, but it is just to 'OK' the software updating service.

So i'm looking to root a friends att galaxy s3 they want multiview on their phone.
I want to keep it as much stock as possible but with multiview added on.
I found synergy rom and it looks good but i want to find the best one and there's quite a few in the developer section.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
What's this multi view everyone be talking about? Haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
You got tow options: galaxymod or synergy ROM. Both are ported from Verizon and have a bit of a learning curve as a few pesky bugs remain. I suggest you not do it as issues more than likely will arise than can be fixed but unless its your phone I highly suggest against it.
I'm running galaxymod and its awesome and elegant. Might want to try yourself first if you insist.

Once he gets acquainted with Android and having a rooted phone and comfortable asking questions then have him flash it. I love the ROM but it has a learning curve on our devices.

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.
