Good morning everybody
Hope you are all well. Well i am shortly about to become an owner of the Note 2 and am considering rooting through the new Cyganmod easy root feature, but am tempted by the features of the new note 3
(Only reason i picked the Note 2 is A cost and B its still very good value for money in terms of specs and performance)
My question is... what are the benefits of rooting this powerful phone and secondly how does Cyganmod fare on this device and thirdly can i get the note 3 rom to work after rooting with Cyganmod
Lastly can any members comment on how the Note 3 rom works on the Note 2 and whether you feel its worth installing or should i just use Cyganmod?
I apologize for all the questions but i am a complete noob at rooting but i know your all a very helpful bunch so will say thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you
Cheers
You can't flash the Note3 rom on the Note2. Maybe u mean the DN3 Rom.
Anyways you do not have to use Cyanogenmod for rooting the Note2.
Just flash the rom and use cf-autoroot and wififix (if you want the DN3 Rom).
anyhow, not all note3 features can be fixed and used in note 2... furthermore, dev are working hard to fix fcs...
my suggest, if u are looking forward to note3 features, better u get the real note3 rather than the clone (note2 custom note3 features)...

Well, the thread title says all.
I'm not a developer and don't know if will be easy or not.
I ask for the experts, it will be easy for we get Note2 updates from the Note 3 or it is a different hardware and cannot be used the software from it?
Thanks
No, the update isn't from anther model, it's from Samsung,I mean, if Samsung want give it for us, it will be very very quickly, but Samsung do not want, because if note 2 get 4.3 too quickly, some people well not to but the new one. All about marketing.

The device it is the easiest to port from is the Note 8.0 I think. They are very similar. Almost identical.
Though its still hard..
why is mod locking up all Note 3 threads?
Because they don't have anything to do with the Note 2, what is also considered as "off-topic" in a section dedicated to the Note 2.
To OP. Why do you bother even think about this?! As soon as Note 3 comes out you'll get an update. These threads will get locked soon.

Note 3 have nothing to do with Note 2? What?
Note 2 has several variants but none of their roms can be ported/flashed to either device..so Note3 rom will no way be ported to Note2
Also Note2 will get update after months of launching note3(because of their marketing policy-no need to explain)

I think that my next phone will not be a Samsung. When i bought i choose it because Samsung said Note 2 was getting all the updates till Android 5.0, so i thought that they have good update policy (my previous phone was a motorola defy, and same thing there, no updates).
And about the "As soon as Note 3 comes out you'll get an update" citation, i think your wrong. Samsung is pushing everyone to buy a new device and not to make a good update policy for old devices

Oh, c'mon. Of course they wan't you to buy their newest device!! That's business 101!! What do you complain about? For companies doing marketing?! And we don't even need to discuss wether the Note 2 will get future updates or not. Given that even the S2 will get (or got?) 4.2.2 (delivered with 2.3 and got updated to 2.3.6>4.0>4.0.4>4.1.1>4.1.2) that's 6 updates including 4.2.2!!! Evene if it'll be late, im pretty sure it'll come.
what's wrong with buying new phone? You're getting both a hardware and software update.

Yeah, consumption is always a good thing. Says Mr. "FinancialWar". Pun intended? :laugh::laugh:
When S4/S3/s2 ROM can be ported in galaxy s i9000 then why not note 3 ROM/features ported in note 2
ancient galaxy s i9000(s1) has more 4.3 custom ROMs than our note 2

Kind of stupid comparison isn't it?
would you rather use i9000 with 4.3 rom or Note 2 with 4.1.1 rom??

No, its not stupid comparison .
I am using boht of them
but you did not get the point. did you?
I was saying that when JB 4.3 can be ported in old galaxy s with limited hardware and RAM then we can expect 4.3 for our note 2
It's called software optimization. ..
Not easy. .
And the note 3 is getting new s pen features in 4.3. . So Samsung does not want to release those features to note 2 before note 3 is launched.. plain simple. .just got to wait .

Hi All.
I'm too eager to wait for official/leak 4.3 version of Galaxy Note II N7105, so I found and managed to flash "Sky_Note_4.3 R8-1" on my N7105. Please note that this development is originally for USA AT&T version (I317) and doesn't officially support N7105 version. I was very delighted to see most things work on this rom. It took several attempts for me to figure out that external card's speed was the one giving me a hard time and multiple failures to complete flashing. It was an older 8GB class 4. It took only 1 attempt to successfuly install this rom from my newer 32GB class 10.
THANKS to seanzscreams and everyone who contributed on this I317 project, my eyes finally saw beautiful new 4.3 on Note II. This was long overdue from Samsung side but thank goodness we have you developers to save the day...
Some things I noticed:
- overheating
- wifi didn't work (there's a fix for this on the thread but I didn't try it)
- Note 3's 'note application' crashes after about 1min when inside the app
- it's possible to enter hardware/device version inside "About" option
- looks awesome! :good:
Understandably, this rom still can't be used for daily regular use, but if there's anyone out there looking to at least get a feel of what will N7105 4.3 look like, SkyNote 4.3 might be the answer to your question.
Cheers
Hello,
I'm getting rid of my old Nokia n900 and looking into the world of Android devices.
Right now I'm in between Note 2 and Note 3. Regarding KNOX, eFUSE and rooting, which Note should I chose over the other one and why?
Is the Note 2 software-wise on the same level as the Note 3? With custom ROM's it seems to be but that would trigger eFUSE/KNOX and void the guarantee?
Thanks a lot!
Note 2 is better ....Note 3 might have extra features bt u can get them on note 2 by rooting.
Note 2 right now has gr8 on price
And also note 3 is unstable..

i really dont know which place u belong to but i will be referring to india for the time being..
Comparing the phones is not actually the right thing..
Those who have a NOTE 2 dont find it WORTH upgrading to a Note 3..!!
Having said this.. Note 2 costs 26-28 k depending on the place you are located in india..!
Note 3 costs 44-47 K again depending on state to state..!
so the difference is pretty huge..!
Note 2 is getting kitkat which is the latest android version for the time being.. But it is not getting any of the Note 3 features..!
And as far as my eperience goes with samsung KK 4.4.2 will be the last update for Note 2
Note 3 has already got kitkat official now..!
So u will be rooting a Note 2 triggering knox or voding warranty ( if it has 4.3 Out of the box) else u wont trigger knox and find a way around like we all have done here..!
and u will flash Note 3 pack to have a note 3 feel..!
So my take is If u can afford (i could not) Go for a Note 3 directly and stick to it for some time.. For me Note 3 is the only touchwiz phone i have not seen lagging till date..!!
Cheers..!

Thanks for your replies! As I don't own either of them it won't be an upgrade but a start from scratch.
I've found an unused Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile branding for € 250. I guess that's a bargain.
A new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 LTE will be € 329 cheapest from a shop, used ones are around € 260 on Ebay.
Looking forward to get that Note 3 - I was looking for a black one and this is white but no questioning for the price.
I think it is a good deal.................. go ahead
I have just bought the samsung gear for my t-mobile note 2, sad part...My ROM wont support it! i would like to stay with a 4.4 rom with halo, but i want to use my gear, any suggestions would be well appreciated.

hmm. im looking for a custom rom that is 4.4+ that is compatible with the samsung galaxy gear. This article is just a review on the phone that i already have. I found that they do plan on releasing the 4.4 for the samsung note 2, but like the most of us we really can't wait for the "official release". Currently I am in the midst of modding some of the system apks to get what I want but it is a long slow process as I am just beginning to learn the how-to's.

Try DN3 ROM
You can try DN3 v3.1 for n7105 it is android version 4.3 with all features of note 3 and gear manager. Also if you are seeking kitkat version you can download DN3 4.4 but I think this version may be not supporting gear

I got very excited when i read this. Since I've had the note 2 I've always wanted note 3 features. Atlast I did a nandroid back up, cleared my data and other stuff..Then did my flash of DN3 4.3, The conclusion? It worked, sort of...Even though my phone booted up with out any problems the Spen wont work and It commands me give it a sim card for data. Oh well I'm going to try kk but i doubt there will be a difference. Thank you though
NOTE:Bad idea, after trying to go back to my old rom i am now dealing with a boot loop. Drivers are not working because they believe my phone is th 7100, anyways ill update when i get it fixed.

I got it on but it did not read my sim and caused alotof issues when i triedto go back to regular, as for everything im back to stock w/ root and im doing my own modifications to make it custom.
Is there anything on the s5 or the note 3 that I cannot do on my note 2(rooted and on custom ROM off course) ?
I know that the infrared remote thing and the s health things dont wprk.
The camera is not THAT good but its good enough for normal use
The battery in Note2 is better than s5.(I'm not very sure though)
And off course the stylus..too useful for me
My sister is looking to buy a new phone. Note 2 is the cheapest of these.. Should we consider note 2 then ?
Hello ,
Yeah ofcourse , Note 3 and S5 are honestly very costly . If you buy a Note 2 and root it and install BlackTox Rom or DN3 Rom then it becomes an ultimate gadget . When I bought Note 2 it was the latest flagship . But as Samsung every year releases 2 flagships , Note 2 became old . Then these revolutionary ROMs were created by our respectful devs which gave a lifeline to my note 2 and I'm very satisfied with it . If your sister doesn't hesitate in buying Note 2 , then I would definitely recommend that you should go for Note 2 :thumbup::thumbup:

I agree with what Aeyan said but one thing we should keep in mind Note II won't see the next big android release since Google will stop supporting it soon.Compared to Note 3 which will get 5.0 for sure. So if you do root your sister's phone and such the latest version she can be on will be 4.4.2 or 4.4.3.So Note 3 might be a better investment compared to Note II.

I agree..so arent the ports as good? I'm sorry I'm still a beginner
For eg: my old phone was an sk17i. I broke the screen on that one but on the dev page there's always a new 4.4 rom

The current ports are awesome but most of us have had our phones for around a year if not more.So most likely we'd upgrade to note 4 this fall.We've been happy with what the developers are offering but since it's a TW based ROM,samsung has to depend on supporting our phone and then samsung tweaks it to add their stuff and releases to us.If you would only want to flash AOSP rom on note II then I am sure AOSP/CM developers will support note II for atleast another year easily but with AOSP rom you lose the functionality of many Samsung features like S note and other Samsung related software.
note2 does not have gorilla glass AFAIK..
For software features, almost all note 2 can have.
aah thanks!! but I just cant decide if 43k for a note 3 is worth it..note 2 was 27k last yr when I bought it and its 28k now.. No fall in price
