Google play store allow the rooted user to watch rented movies on the google video app? If no, then what are some possible workarounds to this issue, ie alternate video apps. I havent gotten a note 2 yet but in the htc thunderbolt forums there is a script that one can use to be able to watch google play movies in the google video app. Is there such a script for his device?

Being rooted shouldn't affect any of Google services. Only services that (potentionally) might be affected by rooting your phone is Samsung services (in my case, OTA updates, Samsung backup don't work). However, others like Samsung apps and Samsung Dive weren't affected. In my opinion, since there are much better alternatives to OTA updates and Samsung backup, I don't see that as a reason not to get the immense benefits from rooting your device.
I ask because on my current device, I'm unable to watch rented movies using the google play video app. I would only be able to watch it via web browser through the online play store. But thanks for your input.

Found these instructions on Phandroid and thought I would share them with everyone. Worked like a charm for me. This will get rid of the Android Market app/icon on your phone and replace it with the Google Play Store.
1. Install or update to the latest version of Play Books, Play Movies, or Play
Music
2. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Market and hit “Clear data”
3. Open Play Books, Play Movies, or Play Music
4. Tap the Play Store icon and accept new terms of service
5. Welcome to the Google Play Store
Much easier way. Just clear data on market and uninstall updates, then after you open the market it updates to Play.
too bad you still cant rent any movies if you're rooted.
Yes u can bro.. Temp unroot ota keeper

so whats the difference with the play market and how the music market was before....looks the same to me, except for a few new squares like play beats and play guitar......other than that its the same.
well that was a waste...the version number isn't even different despite a new TOS message. Either this doesn't work for the update or they just rebranded the old Android Market.

I followed the steps exactly as above and at first wasn't able to access the Android Market app anymore, it said it doesn't exist. I shut my phone off, turned it back on and I had a new app called Play Store. This app replaces the Android Market App.

It's pretty much the same ,Google Music, Google eBookstore, and the Android Market were combined to form Google Play. You can purchase music, movies, books, and apps at play.google.com, but those items will also be stored in the cloud. You'll be able to do the same thing on your Android phone or tablet using the various Google Play apps. More info below.

did it without clearing data for the market, just updated play music and hit the market button in it and it updated to play (market?).
Or you could just download this.
You will most likely have to reboot after installing it like I did.
Just wondering can we put together a list of apps, and bloatware. That can safely be removed after your device is rooted.

I don't know all app's but after I flashed the last time I made a full backup of all app's using titanium backup.
Then I uninstalled everything I don't need with titanium.
Almost all Google apps and all s-app's.
I believe there are still a lot of background app's left with are now unneeded.
I believe I've seen somewhere in the dev.section a clean Rom.
Sorry for my bad English
Look at my rom.. X-Note zero edition (post n. 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43118095
Removed almost all bloatware and s note is in a separate zip file…
You can look into the rom zip and remove what you do not need in your device… or you can flash my rom

Check out bobdoblo's battery bible on the Galaxy S2 forums. Although not written for the Note 8, you can still follow most of the guide to maximize battery life. Best and most comprehensive guide I have ever seen, and it works well on both my I9100 and my N5110

Alright thanks everyone, this was the information I was looking for.

Is there any way I can watch rented movies on my rooted note 3? All I did was root and remove bloatware, no custom rom/kernel yet. I saw there are modded play apk's that allow you do watch rented items while rooted and then there is voodoo rootkeeper, however with the N3 having 4.3 voodoo is not an option. Any help would be appriciated.
Where are you trying to rent movies from? My device is stock rooted. I rent and buy movies from Google Play with no problem.
Netflix, Flixster, Redbox all works with root too. (I know this because I complained, and now I'm using them again since they lifted the restrictions)

Haven't rented yet. I was under the assumption Google is still blocking rented movies if your devise is rooted. If they lifted that restriction then that's awesome. I'll try it out at some point today. Thanks for the response.
Hello everyone. I currently own a Samsung Note 2 GT-N7108 purchased from China Mobile. I have been able to get all google apps to work besides the play store, play services, and google+. The play store opens and I see my account but I can't browse for any apps. The play services crash constantly and google+ just won't install. I have heard I can make the play store work with root but all the root methods I have tried have failed. Can any with similar experience recommend a root method or custom rom that will work with my model? Will I be able to flash a rom for the N7100 onto the N7108 without it breaking? Thanks.
OK so I've successfully managed to get Google play services, framework, play store (non working of course) and login working on a non rooted firetv gen 2 5.2.4.0 and this is now allowing older games to work within the framework, although some can't login into the Google play.
Google play services however is requesting I update to the latest version and this hasn't yet been successful for me to find a compatible service. This is stopping me playing side loaded games like Dead Effect 2 etc as they require the new service and refuse to run without it being updated.
Has anyone managed to get a new version of play services and Google play to run on a non rooted fire TV ? Or failing that found a way to get side loaded games like Dead Effect 2 to run ?
Any help appreciated
