Did you stay stock or root? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just curious to see:
How many people actually stayed stock vs
How many people actually rooted/flashed roms and actually stayed rooted
I havent seen a tread like this, and I thought it would be pretty cool to see what everyone else has done ^.^

Rooted with deodexed rom.
So far I've enabled wallet (which I use all the time), unlimited multi windows(use all the time), changed my status bar up, bootanimation and sound, and spen sounds...

im stock. I havent came across a reason for me to root or install a rom.

My previous note 2 I rooted it, installed and tried different roms and a couple tweaks here and there.
This note 2 that I recently got from my wife is bone stock, im actually enjoying it lol..

Rooted by using stock rom with a couple of improvements.

Stock. Too beast of a phone for custom ROMs to be a necessity.
Sent from my SGH-T889V using xda app-developers app

rooted, stock rom with xposed multi window mod.

Stock for now. I paid full price for it, so I probably won't root while it's under warranty. My main reason for rooting has always been to disable bloatware, which is now built into JB anyway.

1000% stock. No need to root, plus I don't have a computer so this is all I have.

Stock, and will stay that way until this nasty IMEI business is settled with some certainty.
The phone is a beast, even with the extra crap loaded from T-Mobile. Just wish stupid My Account and Zynga games would stop re-enabling themselves. That's truly infuriating.

Note 2 is the most incredible phone. I ditched the iphone and no turning back! You must root and install some the ROMs such as CleanRom. You will not regret it. Good luck on your decision.

Jedi X6 seems to be the ROM of choice if you want multiview on your phone without waiting for att to give us the update. Persuis (sp?) Is a great kernel for performance and battery life.

Apps & app data can be backed up, pictures won't be touched during flashing, contacts can be backed up to Google servers.

YAY! You made it!
Various ways to unroot but for warranty id do triangle away first, then odin a stock rom, make sure you pull the sd card, factory reset... that should work to get counter to 0 and normal status

[Q]CRT off

Hi, everyone!
I was just wondering if there is a way that I can get CRT off animation for a stock rooted rom? I really want to keep stock because of the S-Pen features. Plus, the fact that risking a bad IMEI after flashing a custom rom makes me cringe.
I am with the stock Wind 4.1.2 T889v, rooted.

You'll need a few edits to services.jar and android.policy.jar, PLUS you need a kernel that supports it - on the stock kernel the effect is intermittent at best.

I think he might be assuming that because it is usually the case with these things. International gets all updates first, if we ever get them at all

Yep that's what usually happens. International versions get it first. Samsung can just push the update to those devices. However, for the US versions, the carrier gets the update from samsung and "tweaks" it... Basically making sure it works with their networks and adding the carrier bloatware.

It takes a while to completely change where everything is, and what it is called in a ROM for no apparent reason.

Every time Sprint releases firmware upgrades they take the old firmware and put it in a blender. Breaking all the learned and established ways of adding features... Forcing devs to continually reinvent the wheel each and every time. All for no real reason.

I have to disagree. At least with my old epic touch. Ics was a complete flop as far as I'm concerned and jelly bean was worlds apart. And after source got released the devs over there anyway were able to create some great roms and kernels. I think this update will be pretty good. However it will still be jelly bean but with some tweaks of course.

Phone very laggy?

I'm currently running the note s4 rom. My phone will randomly lock up and get terribly laggy. I was on the newest stock ota and decided to flash the note s4 rom. The phone still acted like this on the stock rom also. I've still got lag and freezing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to do a clean wipe and clean install again. It might help with it being laggy. I usually do a full wipe and clean install every 2 months, even when using the same rom, That's just me.
POWERED by the MASTER!
Ive tried odining back to complete stock and wiping everything and then flashing the rom. It seems to do it at random. A reboot seems to fix the issue for a few hours. It's only done it once or twice so far today.
