how is the latest kitkat for note 2? im on 4.1.2 is it worth the upgrade? if so which version? thanks
What? You Need to be more descriptive. The Note 2 doesn't have official Kit Kat so im assuming you mean AOSP or CM based? If that's what you are looking for best thing to do is flash away or read the ROM thread. Latest official update is 4.3 not 4.4...
Ps: The title should have some correlation to the question at hand.

There is no "best rom" you just continue to flash until you find one you like and THAT is the "best rom" out there

Look in the Original Android Dev section. Pick a ROM and read the flashing instructions on their OP. Then you will have your 4.4 rom. Just know its not official. Its AOSP or CM based.

And "don't" take the official update to 4.3...
It "will" lock your bootloader...and void your warranty if you root the official 4.3...
If you don't care about warranty...then upgrader beware....g

Anytime you fool with your phone beyond using stock tools and apps you void your warranty.

Where is the option to unlock and flash stock unbranded android?
By stock Android do you mean a version of Cyanogenmod? I don't know if it is yet available for our phones. If by unbranded you mean a Samsung Touchwiz based rom with the Samsung apps removed, then that can be done by visiting the Development forum for this device. There are Touchwiz based custom roms to be found there.
Welcome to the Galaxy Note 2 and good luck.

It depends on the ROM you are trying to install.
Most ROMs will have specified in their post which firmware (4.1.2 or 4.2.2) they are using. You need to upgrade or downgrade according to that if you want to install that ROM.
Currently we have a lot of CM10.1 based ROMs like SlimBean, PACMAN, AOKP, Resurrection, CM10.1.3 etc, all of these are based on 4.1.2 so for using any of these you need to downgrade to 4.1.2 before you install them. We also have "GENNXT Superior ROM" which is based on 4.2.2, so you need to be on one of the 4.2.2 firmwares to install it.
Just read the instructions by the ROM dev in the first post of the ROM and you'll know if you need to be on 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 to use it.
Thnxx a lot biddy...

I'm looking to buy a 2014 10.1 and something caught my attention and was curious about it. I have a s4 running 4.3 android and thanks to Knox I cant put a custom recovery on it and have to use safestrap to use a custom rom essential wasting much space. Is that a issue with the tablet as well. Or is twrp/clockwork able to be used?

Flashing a custom recovery will trigger knox. And I havent heard of any safestrap solution for Note 10.1 2014.

Of course you can flash a custom recovery and custom roms, but it cant be done without triggering knox. Flashing the rom itself is harmless, its the flashing of a custom recovery that triggers knox. So if you can live with that just go a head and flash, if not.... then dont.
Good luck
Ok thanks for the clarification the knox part is still kind of new to me. Tw is a little heavy just wanted to make sure I had the option to run an aosp rom down the line.

no problem, just glad to help. You can flash an AOSP rom, as soon as we get one.
I need to know what the difference is between 4.3 and 4.4. How do i upgrade to it? Do i need to do it to run kitkat roms?
I have flashed about 4 kitkat roms and they all have issues. Like freezing and rebooting. I think maybe because i am on the 4.3 bootloader.
I just dont fully understand this stuff yet.

So i found this post but i still dont fully understand it. So if i flash a kitkat rom and a new kernel does that automatically upgrade my bootloader to 4.4? Currently out of all the kitkat kernels only 2 of them will boot my phone all others i just get stuck on the samsung logo. Including the stock kernel.

Please search the Development thread. TEKHD had made a very easy step-by-step guide on how to upgrade.
I'm trying to flash a 4.4 tw ROM (wicked v1) and I get stuck in a bootloop.... Is there a flashable zip I can download so the ROM will boot
Here, you will need to odin to 4.4 stock (upgrade bootloader), then flash it. Follow this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393

My apologies if this is off topic, it is still within the bootloader question.
How do I check what bootloader I am using in my phone?

It's all up to you. Ask yourself this. Do you want the KitKat features? Or do you want to stay in JB with almost the same amount of features. I upgraded myself just because I don't want to do it later, if newer roms come out
