Yeah im sick of looking in task manager and seeing all the crap running even after i removed bloatware. Mfgs really screw up the android experience. Cant wait for a stock android based rom.

I personally like all the extras that touch wiz has added on THIS phone. Normally I would run pure stock but I'm happy with this phone out of the box. It helps that everything I don't need or use I can go in and disable and not worry about it running or using ram. I'm personally stock, not rooted and content. First phone ever that I didn't feel the need to root. Just my opinion.

I'm having a hard time waiting for Paranoid.
This phone feels incomplete without it.

I love aosp and aokp, but in Galaxy Nexus. Why would i use that when i loose all functionality of S-pen? When i don't have true multitasking?

Exactly, I already own Gnex and N7. I'm fully aware of what AOSP roms are capable of. No way I want any of those roms installed on my Note 2. I bought this because I wanted all those features that's tied into Spen. This phone would be very bad without the stock features. If I wanted stock experience, I would've waited for Nexus 4 or stayed with my Gnex. I've been rom hopping for last 2 years and now I just want something that's good enough.
I have to admit, it becomes like an addiction. I would be looking for new roms and rom updates constantly everyday.

Im over touchwiz...I would luv to run cm10 or paranoid on this beast of phone.or miui would be real nice too...

There are cherrypicks you can do with AOKP right now that gives apparently full functionality to the S-Pen.

Naah I like the stock ROM and its features and stock Android will never have Wi-Fi calling which is something I must have with work so I'll never put it on this phone

Wifi calling is great but it's voice is a dinosaur.
I'm using the multi window rom and installed 4.2 Gapps.
Used the 4.2 launcher then switched to Go for the eye candy. Still maintain the S-pen while having 4.2 camera, gallery, ect AND sCal, sGallery and others.
Battery seems to be on par with stock Touchwiz, 40% after 15.5 hours, and 2.5hours screen time.
Still not sure how useful multi window is but I do agree Paranoid and the note2 were meant to be together.

first phone that im actually keeping stock!!! Phone runs smooth and with no problems.... aosp and aokp just seem.......pretty boring now. I do wish to have the nexus navigation on screen bar.

For the advanced users(we know who we are) AOSP will be great I can't wait. It's pointless now a days to not have AOSP it's best to start clean then add what you want free up all the space/ram and have the latest updates. I came from S3 and wanted the quad core, 5.5, and RGB s-pen can stay docked for all I care. When it comes it will be great!

No. The were added as the original note got support for aokp, once aokp (which cmenard is currently working on) is available for our device that functionality could be added, if it hasn't been merged by then.

I'm Rooting!

I can't take it anymore! I'm sick and tired of waiting for multi view update. This is absolutely ludicrous how we were the first US carrier with the Note 2 and the last with the update. So u know what? I rooted my phone today and loaded the Jedi Rom with multi view on it. At first I was one of those that wanted to keep everything stock, as I truly love this phone. It had everything I wanted except for the multi view. Im so glad I did this! Now I have multi view with all the apps. Awesome! This has truly opened up so many more possibilities. The only downfall at the moment is wifi calling. But I can live without.
So what say u dear fellow Note 2 owners? Are u guys tired of waiting or do u have extreme patience and are happy as Is?

I'm coming to same conclusion..will likely order by Thursday for Friday delivery & install Jedi ROM Saturday..
How much time should a noob set aside to: root, install Jedi X ROM & are you considering Perseus kernel for exfat?
I've got link instructions for root & Jedi X install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34900851&postcount=33 but what about installing Perseus kernel?
Probably would have bought the T-Mobile Note2 weeks ago if it had multi-view (but this ROM looks better than what T-Mobile will come up with)
-Thnx

Besides multi view what else did it get you? And is paper artist along with the other s-pen apps working? Other than music programs I didnt see anything built into either jedi that made it a must have. Did I miss something?

I really like the features of this device Id never seen or atleast known about and don't really want to lose those functionalities. So , my question is .
Do you lose Spen functionality and / or Spen apps such as snote , drawing ect , Sbeam or say ability to swipe your hand over the proximity sensor to see the time and date on a sleeping device? Or any other note / note 2 exclusive features in jedi x romS?

Woww

So I've been using this thing for a few days and all I can say is wow. I've never gone a day without rooting and flashing a Rom on any android device I've ever owned. I can't believe how smooth and amazing this thing is out of the box. Battery life is unbelievable. Ok so I wanted to ask is that even a point of flashing a Rom on right now? What are you guys currently running and had your battery life remained as good or is it worse/better?

Bunch of folks will tell you yes,
Me, as a seasoned Android user (4th phone) will say "not me".
I just can't see the point, at this point.
Maybe root for the sake of a rooted installation of Avast Anti Theft.
Maybe root and recovery to flash an OC kernel.
Personally I'm good just as I am.

What's the deal with avast anti theft and root?
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

Personally, I don't feel the need to really make any modifications to the software on my Note II - it works well enough out of the box that I will more than likely leave it stock and unrooted. Battery life is amazing thus far, moderate usage today and barely put a so much as a dent in it (which is a big difference over my S III, which I could run down in a matter of a few hours depending on what I was doing).

I myself thought I was going to have an issue with touchwiz due to coming from various HTC devices as well as a few vanilla android handsets. However, this device has been amazing. I did root it as I have a few apps that need said access but as far as a custom rom, no need.

I did to get multi window and use titanium backup. I tried clean rom jedi and jelly thunder which im on now. All three worked great without issues. I like jelly thunder now because of the skin it runs is nice on the eyes. S-pen note taking is the main reason I have the note 2 so all these 3 roms retain full usage. Im on AT&T and have not noticed any change in battery life between the 3 roms and stock...

With a rooted installation, GPS can be turned on remotely via sms or web portal for device location and you can protect the installation itself even in the event of a full wipe. Kinda. Just an extra layer of protection.

Typically ill root a device to
flash a version of Android that isn't currently offered directly by the OEM, or simply to overclock a slower device. I'm ecstatic over this device as it is - stock.
I don't need root or some half-baked ROM with bugs.
If it doesn't improve my "user experience" then I don't want it.

My 4th android phone as well and I agree with OP, the phone is unbelievable and is the first phone where I felt, "should I even bother rooting?". I only rooted it for the option to freeze system apps, use my backup from TiBu, and change my font (I hate stock font..), Multiwindow is a nice feature but not a necessity. I do like having a lot less system apps though.

i agree ...this phone is very smooth ...i did a no flash count root with no custom recovery... only so that i could have google wallet!!!!
if i didnt want wallet so bad i would not have rooted!!

Installing stock Android on a Galaxy Note 8.0

Hi, I've never done anything with Android. I recently received a Galaxy Note 8.0 as a gift and I want to install stock android (i.e. Nexus 7). Can anyone here either explain the steps I will need to go through or point me in the right direction? Is this even possible?
Since I've never done any Android rooting, I don't exactly understand much of the lingo used here. If someone could say "to put stock Android on a Galaxy Note 8.0, you need to use X and X" that would be great. I can probably figure it out from there.
Thanks!

Do you realise that if you did this, then the pen would no longer function? And this is the feature that you have paid the premium price for.

It's possible but are you sure you are really wanting to do this? It will remove all the pen functionality from the device which is what the device is most noted for. Just out of curiosity, what are you wanting to achieve? A cleaner or leaner ROM?

I hadn't thought of that. I don't really need the pen anyway. But how could I get a leaner ROM (get rid of TouchWiz) and still use the pen?

What are you expecting to get out of rooting?

If there was CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM for Note 8, the pen would probably work - it does on those ROMs for e.g. Note 1.
But all the stock apps don't work there - no S-Notes, S-Calendar etc.
Anyway, if I'm not wrong, no such ROM yet - so far development forum contains two modifications of stock ROM.

There are other options for those apps in the play store, they are fairly good options too. That being said, I'm sure it is quite a task to bring AOSP to this device as we barely have working recoveries at this point.

Absolutely yes (e.g. Papyrus), but each thread of non-stock ROMs is filled with questions on "how to have TW apps working here", and the answer is always "can't be done".

This here is your best bet if you want any solid pen functionality. The reason the apps wont work with aosp is because the s pen relies heavily on tw framework. Its difficult and fairly redundant to port if over to a aosp rom. Im working on an up to date version of the rom i used to maintain on the att gn2 but havent had much time do much but itll bring.a.fair.amount of aosp apps when its complete.

i was looking at that, and alot of the png's are missing in ours for airview and other things, ill see what i can do

I'm downloading the Sky Note rom for 7105 (AT&T) now. It has all the Note 3 features except the camera I believe. Then there's a guide on how to patch it under development. However, I'm downloading it over tether, so if any other brave souls out there want to use a better connection (currently showing an hour left for me) to grab it and give it a go, I'd be grateful.
Edit: After reading through the thread concerning the patching, I found that the Sky Note rom for VZN doesn't work at all, so now I'm not wanting to try. Can't really afford a new device right now.

Tried it. Got to the Google experience boot and them looped though it was easy to just wipe and reload synergy
