[Q] Why should I root the SGN2? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Rooting an android is almost second nature to me? I've only had HTC phones which i always rooted, but the SGN2 is such a great phone right out of the box, that i have yet to find a reason to root it yet. What was everyone's motivation to root? In our current development stage, what will be my benefit in rooting? All opinions welcome, and thanks

5 words: every app on multi window
with root you can get the multi window feature to have every app... just look at this image I took

THIS.
Plus JellyBomb fixed one of my biggest problems with the Note II, and that was that none of the Quick Settings in the Notifications dropdown were useful for me. With Jellybomb, I can put more useful settings in the Notifications dropdown, and remove the ones I don't find useful.
I also have a custom boot animation. I didn't like the stock Sprint one.
There's also Titanium, which allows me to backup all my applications to my SD card in case I need to reformat my phone, make sure I have a backup of an app that might get pulled from the Play Store, or just back up the app for whatever reason.

Customized launcher.

Is it possible for me to customize my launcher however I want and place the apk into a rom or theme and once flashed and installed my launcher would already be exactly as I always had it?
I'm not trying to back it up and restore it. What I'm really trying to do is get go launcher the way I customize and set all my widgets, apps, and short cuts into a .zip and once its flashed and the app installs it autimatically comes the way I already had it with no need to restore any kind of data.

I doubt it... that requires backing up the desktop configuration. Also... go launcher is CIQ renamed YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
No. That info is stored in the data partition, not with the app.

or you could make a backup of it in titanium and restore it every time.

I understand what you're saying, as I do a similar thing with my roms. What I do is simply copy in the data with the launcher apk. However, widgets never restore properly. One could modify a launcher to change the defaults, but I couldn't tell you where to begin.

Ya I kind of figured it would be possible since different launchers have a different "stock" setting that they set the home screen so I wanted to see if it was possible to edit that "stock" into whatever I want. But it may be a little bit too much to do. I may think about it later, but not for now. Thanks though.

What's CIQ? Is that like an ATRAC? I think I heard about that in a museum.
Such old news. Only a few months ago but yet it seems to have faded completely.
We should go back to using those KnowCIQ banners. To prevent that kind of thing in the future. Though I don't really care.
So.... The Chinese have all my top secret data?
So, suprising no one has tried to remove it, rewrite one without it, or just blatantly expose the code. Probably could make some headlines considering how widely used GoLauncher is. I hear and see people talk about it but I've only seen references. (the again, never really researched it other than Google.... <- - - THE WORLDS LARGEST CIQ?)

Is this phone dead in the water?

Hey guys, I just got an S3 3 days ago, just got paid again and was wondering if I should go ahead and spring for the note 2 but everyone keeps telling me since the note 2 has exynos, it will be hard to develop for or something? I've had an iPhone for 5 years so I'm a clinical retard when it comes to android stuff. It almost seems like the people saying that are kind of jealous that they don't or can't get the note 2. I was just wondering if you can easily root the note 2 and flash CM10, because I hate bloatware and love CM10 sounds. If CM10 isn't available is it possible to de bloat it at all?
De bloating is no problem. CM10 will lose the S-pen functionality on this monster.

Thanks for the reply brother. Another quick question, I used a very easy toolkit to root my S3, I don't remember who made but it was in green text and in console. Is there anything like that available for the note 2, it was amazingly simple to use and easily un rooted my S3, I've been on Android for all of 4 days so excuse my nubishness. Lol
Right now it is a little more difficult to root than a 1 click method...but in time I bet the developers will make it happen..
MY honest opinion...get the Note II...

I rooted within 5 minutes of getting the phone, but I would imagine that this only applies if you're rooted. AT&T doesn't want you taking its bloat/spy/malware off, so I really doubt they'd let an unrooted user go through and delete the apps.
I'm waiting for the Multi-view update before rooting. Save myself from having to unroot. And as for bloatware, you can just "disable" it - without rooting.
And as for it being "dead in the water".... what you talking about? News to me...

As far as rooting goes... There is a method on here that literally takes about 3 mins from beginning to end.. very easy. Once rooted, just download and install Cleanrom Lite 1.0...this rom is debloated and extremely fast/smooth. There are plenty of sms apps that provide quick reply... gosms/chompsms/handcent are just a few. This is one awesome phone and I wouldn't worry too much about development, or lack thereof.

No need to root to de-bloat. I'm on the stock ROM, haven't seen a need to root yet.
1. Go to: "Settings | Application Manager" and swipe over to the "All" tab.
2. Find what you want gone (i.e. all of the AT&T apps) and tap it.
3. Clear data, Clear cache. Some apps might also require you to "uninstall updates".
4. Force stop.
5. Disable.
You're done. If you later want to re-enable something, scroll down to the bottom of the "All" list ... it has everything you've disabled listed there. I've disabled about 32 things that came preloaded, including almost all the Samsung cloud stuff, GMail, all the Google Sync services, all the Google additional services (apps like Google+ and Google Play Magazines/Movies & TV/Music, not Android system services), with no issues whatsoever.

Is there an SMS app with Quick Reply that preserves the look of the stock Jelly Bean SMS app? I really like the way it looks already loaded on the Note 2 so I don't want to take away its aesthetics.

yes go to setting-application manager slide to the right until u see all apps then scroll down to any app u want to debloat select then disable. Boom the app will disappear. Remember this method only disable the app if u want to delete them then need root. Learn about Odin stuff that easy for new noobs. Good luck

no lol. best reasons to root right now are good phone backups, decent file explorers, and interface modifications. There are a few other niche reasons to root but a regular user should be just fine. this phone's really good.
The Note 2 runs great without rooting.
And its nice that you can disable unwanted apps as mentioned above.
And if u dont like the main UI (touchmywiz) then just download another launcher like Nova or golauncher.
Problem with most Roms is there is usually something that doesnt work...thats just part of it.

First phone I haven't felt the urge to root. It's nearly perfect out of the box other than the TW launcher which Nova Launcher solves for me. Was really looking forward to the Nexus 4 but don't think I can give my Note 2 up.

Yes stop floundering and just root the Note. Its painless and mostly one click. With Triangle Away, you can easily wipe the flash counter if you ever need to unroot the phone and return it for warranty or whatever.
I rooted for the ability to:
1. Use Titanium Backup to backup app data and freeze/uninstall bloatware && system apps (TB alone is worth rooting.)
2. Use ADblock. (Seriously refuse to EVER look at ads on my phone)
3. CUSTOM ROMS. (The biggest reason to root. My phone has JEDI-ROM which is a BEAST of a ROM. Unlimited Multi-window with ANY app, the FORCE optimizations, and BATTERY LIFE. My N2 was getting about 14 hours from a full charge on stock rom, now it gets on average of 24-30 HOURS on one charge. I don't even charge it during the night anymore.)
ATT won't be sending out any updates for the phone until a couple of months at least. Will Multi-Window even be included? Who knows. If it is included, it WONT be compatible with any app like the modded version.
If you make a list of WHY NOT, and WHY SHOULD you root, the WHY NOT list will be alot shorter. The flash counter is really the only "permanent" change you are making to the phone that will void warranty, but like I said there is a Root method which doesnt trip the counter, or you can use Triangle Away to wipe it.
I was happy un-rooted for the past 3 to 4 weekst, but i needed root access so I could use Root Explorer to delete a file so I could get flash to work with Dolphin Browser.
Sunday I rooted and flashed Jedi 3.2 ROM. I also had to flash a different Kernel so it would recognize my SanDisk 64GB Ultra MicroSD card. Now I'm enjoying Multi-View and no bloat. Hard to say but my battery live seems improved. That could be just a matter of usage not different. Time will tell. But I'm happy I finally rooted and flashed a custom ROM.
If you need to you can always go back to stock for warranty issues, but I've never had to do that.
Sorry to ask this... but can someone just provide a simple link to a easy-to-do root method, without me having to wade through hundreds of different threads and thousands of different posts? I am very new to rooting. I've only done it once, with my old HTC EVO 4G, and that was seamless because it was a one-click root method. All of these other subsequent root methods for other phones, including the Note, seem really intricate and they seem to require tons of time I don't have to devote to reading. If an easy root method is available, with instructions, I thank anyone in advance for directing me towards it. I only really want to root for Titanium Backup and also to improve battery life. I can't get these crazy on-screen times other non-rooted (or so they claim) folks are getting, so it seems like rooting will be the only way I can dream of getting it.
I'd like the same.. simple explanation and instructions..

To root fast and easy:
Download this and extract:
http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
unplug your phone for the pc,
run odin3 v1.85. click pda and then select cf-auto-root...md5
Make sure the box "re-partition" is not checked.
Hook your phone up to your usb port on your pc. wait a few seconds for that first box to turn green then click start.
your phone will reboot on its own and then you're done.
Follow this to the letter. I basically just summarized a guide i used but could not find again to link you to it.

From the applications manager, there is a disable button next to the force stop. It is akin to TB freeze.

Should you root yours...is a matter of personal perference really.Since you already know a little about it..you know what to look for and what to expect.
Do you like it as it is...or do you want to start flashing various mods & themes and different roms ?
It's no different than your S2 really in regards to this...except these run nice as they are out of the box...
I'm not a big fan of Touch Wiz...or any other skin someone has put on it...and while the virtues of the S-pen apps that come bundled with it are nice...I know it won't be long till they or some good substitutes are offered out of it as well...I just didn't buy my Note II for the S-pen...I bought it because of what it can be...and because of the hardware it already employs...Since I enjoy mixing and matching various things to make my phone unique and the best for me......rooting mine is only a matter of time..
I see a bright future for this phone and what has been done so-far is only a scratch on the surface of it...
Root it and play around with it..or keep it stock...either way enjoy it.

Rooting doesn;t seem that hard to do. What I'm worried about is how to install a custom ROM and making sure I did everything right. I feel like there's different instructions depending on the rom I see and sometimes there's no instructions at all!
I put ICS on the HP Touchpad that I got cheap but that is the extent of my knowledge on this topic. I'd really love to have Multiview because ATT can't do their jobs but I'm worried I'd screw up. Is there a detailed explanation or online video showing me how to install a rom like Jedi for example?

[HOW TO] Turn Your M Into a BEAST! (Wifi Tether, apps2sd, Full Screen, Ect.)

I have decided to make a post with everything that I have done to my M to solve some of the issues I and many others I have found had with it.
I suggest you root your phone to get the full benefits of it and these modifications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940630
How to unlock your bootloader: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2013/04/08/motorola-bootloader-unlocking/
1. Run and function in full screen mode (No Nav Bar) (UPDATED!)
Easy way:
Download full!screen from the app market by tsorn, what makes this aspp so great is that you can set it to turn full screen on only when selected apps are running then you can optionaly set function keys to be placed in the corners for things like a back button, home, or menu, its really great!you can even set the size and opacity of the buttons, as well as location!, this app has made my razsr all i dreamed it would be!
Harder way:
This will require a app called HideBar (shocker..) found on the market it allows you to either use widgets or a system notification to hide/unhide the system bar at the bottom of the screen with multiple options on showing it again, to control your phone without your system bar I use LMT ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 ) it allows you to control your phone (Back, Home, Search, Menu) with gestures, Input number is 5, please follow the directions in the post, there are others apps that do this as well, all with differnt features, look around. This is great to play games in full screen.
2. Wifi Tether
Follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981625
3. Moving Apps 2 SD
This is somewhat a PIA until you get the hang of it but can be done using a app called Directory Bind, Official Thread: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 ) discussion on using it with the M here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913576
There is a easier way to do this if you just want to move large games over 1gb look for gl2sd in the market I tested it on my M and it works fine.
4. Notification Toggle widgets.
This is done using a great app with a amazingly helpful dev called "Notification Toggle" which can be found in the market, it supports all the great Cyanogen Like Toggles that we all love, works better if installed a system app which is really easy!~ just follow the help link in the app to see how he gives multiple examples. This is very customizable sp? from widget button styles to colors and more!
5. Fully working Android 4.2 KB with Trace!(Think Swype.)
I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD! Uses trace like swype and swiftkey, but IMO much much better, less memory, way more accurate and a cool preview function as you "swype". thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663
If you have any other great improvments you would like to share post them and I will add them to the list!
Thank you!, Hope this helps some of you enjoy your M a little more then you do.
P.S. Feel free to pm me if you need help finding or getting hold of any of apps! however if you Google "Aptoide" I think you will manage getting everything you need to set up your phone very, very, cheaply.
I take no credit for any of the information provided, this is simply a consolidation of information i found useful to modifying the overall enjoyment of my phone.
Gonna give that Notification Toggles widget a shot thanks!

Welcome, its great I changed my background to match the color of the drop down and it looks built in, ill post a screen later.
Also added #5 the android 4.2 Keyboard!
so for the 4.2 keyboard do you just switch apk's or is there some other method to installing it from the "4.2 mod package"?
edit: seeing the stock rom is odexed I'm guessing you just install the apk instead of replacing the stock one?

For full screen you should try full!screen by tsorn It's been working for me. I have been using the free version. The paid version you are supposed to be able to setup full screen for only the apps you want full screen when they are run.
Thank as for the tip ill check it out now sounds more of what I want anyway
Found the app will add it to the post when I get to the PC its a really great app thanks for the heads up
Full!screen is great much better I dare say perfect for what I need.

Has anyone had real success freeing up internal memory using directory bind?? Using it is massively frustrating!! And I'm already frustrated that my new awesome phone is full with apps already
Thanks in advance

Is there any easy way to move music to SD without plugging into computer?

Yep. Root, then use root explorer then find your music and copy and paste it to external.

LOL thank you...also it doesn't seem to bind the actual app to the SD card, just the extra data....so it intrinsically only solves like 30% of the problem....
And yeah in addition to all that it's really convoluted

I've stopped this with the Task Manager

You can delete some of them directly from your app drawer. Just open your app drawer hit the plus/minus sign in the top right corner and delete. I froze the rest of mine with titanium.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

Thanks for the reply.
I did that, but the real reason is the upcoming roms that people will custom and I think they gonna need this info for cleaning/debloating them and stuff.

You won't ruin your phone, you will just have to find the stock ROM (on one of the threads here) and flash it back with LGFlash tool. The obvious ones to remove would be anything AT&T Related using Root Uninstaller if rooted. Also any obvious apps that are preinstalled such as Polaris and Kindle can be removed if chosen too. I also removed all Tests (Bluetooth Test, Wifi Test, etc) Its pretty simple to know what to remove and not to.

I froze everything I don't use with TB. No issues at all.
Yes, they hang low

I've had issues with those apps and I dint know why. Whenever I removed the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi test apps, my phone freezes for 5-10 minutes on boot. Whenever I put them back, its fine again.
Happened on the original firmware and the new one. I've went all the way back to stock too.

Freezing apps with Titanium has worked great for me... for what its worth
