Unroofed because of skygo - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't rooted my note 2 n7105 yet because I use skygo is there a easy way around skygo not working in rooted devices?
I just want skygo to work properly and all the time as I watch a lot if sport in there

there are ways to prevent apps from knowing you're rooted.
for example, my bank's app refused to run since my phone was rooted; the advice here:
http://blog.zackehh.com/using-barclays-mobile-banking-rooted/
could also work for your unroofed device.

...you mean someone stole the roof of your house because you had a Sky Dish on it .

I haven't rooted for this exact same reason so I'd be very interested to know of any decent solutions

Just bought this phone, should I root?

Hi guys, so I can pretty much do anything, I've been rooting for a long time. So should I root now? If so, which Rom would be best? Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Best way to find out what's the best rom is to try them out people can say one thing about a rom and you can think something else,
Root and rom away, and welcome

This.
Save yourself from any future headaches and head on over to Peoplearmy and GeeK's threads and back up your IMEI with both methods just in case.
I ran with stock rooted for a good week after getting my GS3 just to make sure there weren't any defects (since stock is the most stable).
Pardon my ignorance, I know what imei is, but if things go wrong, how will imei be involved?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Some people where having issues and there imei was lost, there's a tool to back it up in development section just back it up you shouldn't have issues I haven't seen people inquiring about lost imeis lately,

For some odd reason, people have been reporting that their IMEI information on the phone was wiped while flashing ROMs through recovery. That information isn't supposed to be touched, but nobody has really found out the reason why that data gets wiped during the flashing process for some users.
When this happens, the phone loses its ability to connect to your mobile network (because it has no IMEI information to present to the network), so it's essentially an iPod. Last week I randomly lost my IMEI from restoring a nandroid backup from CWM (luckily I backed up my IMEI information and was able to restore it within minutes), but I've heard people saying that it happens on TWRP as well.
I'm not saying that it will happen to you whenever you flash a new ROM, but when it comes to these things it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Also, welcome to the SGS3 forums . Leaving the childish drama behind in the Amaze forum alone was worth the upgrade for me.

Trial and error always the best course with roms. I would root mine was rooted a few hours after I pulled it out the box.
Very easy to do and with our development section well worth it.

Wow, usually I will halfway defend the reps and tell other users that there is only so much they are allowed to do (and that they are not bots) as I've done this job before... but this one is just a moron.
Well he did try. .. But that was just unacceptable. I told him what fone I had and I was in the play store but whatever. . Now I see what everyone was always talking about. Still happy with sprint though.

Cancel your Netflix accounts...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kmc.onechannel.tvshows
That application found in the app store is 100x better.
It has every episode of everything with new episodes updated as soon as an hour before it even airs (for me being on the west coast, things come on earlier on the east coast), situated nicely into an easy to use interface.
There are a few bugs, but they are bearable, and worth the price of $0.
I've been using this for about a month and I'm also thinking about canceling my cable tv.
Tell me whatcha guys think.

I have never heard of that until my friend showed me it like last week. You've got this plus more, and it looks even better and easier to navigate around right?
I was just sharing because it's a mobile app on the marketplace and people like connecting their phone directly to their tele to watch things.

Sweet. I don't use Netflix from my phone, but this looks great. Love that I can use it on my Logitech Revue. I use Icefilms a lot, but that doesn't work very well with Android. This works pretty good over wifi if you grab a link that is working.

Are those the touch-and-go readers? Does the Google Wallet application just emulate a card for you? Does it matter if it has the wallet logo?
Never use it
Didn't have the Google wallet logo. I assume it was just touch and go. All I had to do was press credit on the self scan before it would work.
