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.

So custom roms are a no go for this thing? Help me understand. I mean I see the threads with rom but is it like the s4....only 4.3 tw roms will work. A lot of questions I know of but $500 on the line. Lol thanks in advance

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.

You just flash back to stock rom to get the updates. But the point is once rooted your rom of choice will be updated probably faster than the Google update gets pushed to your phone.
^ This!!!
And why have a galaxy nexus if you want to go back to stock for ota? Its a development device....use the roms the devs release for it...lol.
Do I understand this correctly? Clockwork mod recovery with stock ICS will not give OTA updates from Google???

Yes...although im not sure why this concerns anybody. As fast as development is moving on this device, the devs will have updates out as fast or faster than google releases them via ota.

The problem with roms is that it's not 100% stable. I came from htc dinc, i havent seen any stable rom for it.

You can flash the official roms from google with cwm. This way you have your updates faster.
But I should choose a developer rom they have awsome features.

Eventually I will be rooting my nexus but I'm wondering what is out right now that is worth rooting?
I know this phone is fairly new so I know there are betas out there
Is there a rom that is pretty solid?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Being that it's a nexus...
The roms are built (primarily) from source. And otherwise cherry-picked from other roms.
As such, they are ALL very stable, that I've seen.
The choice is yours.
Root access adds so much to the device...even without a custom rom.
The ability to back your system up.
Back up user apps to transfer to future devices/restore on your current device in the case of failure of some sort...
Better battery life from custom kernels/tweaks/etc.
Pretty much this

if you're just rooted, you cant switch kernels unless you're also unlocked.

This is incorrect. Of course you can flash whatever kernel you want if you have root. No need for an unlocked bootloader. (This isn't a Motorola device...)

You can flash kernels on the fly, with Android running, so this its correct, you dont need a unlocked bootloader to flash kernels...

ok so i managed to root my phone yaaay...thanks to this great community
one problem tho, it seems that the custom recovery wont stick, when i try and reboot into recovery i get this android with a red yield sign thing
I think custom recovery won't stick on stock rom, it resets itself

Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on Android that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from the Market). Delete the file recovery-from-boot.p from /system. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.

Or use Rom Manager (free) from the market.
It'll remove that file as well.
I got it all working now thank you everyone for the help !

ps. AOPK is probably the best ROM
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...

Hi guys i want to know if there's a site aside from sammobile that i can download the latest firmware from? like 4.4 kit kat, 4.3 jelly bean, 4.2.2. ICS.
because i tried from sammobile and it said that since the download was 1.5gb it would take about an hour to download and about 50% something happened o my internet and it cut off and i got pissed cause 1 hour is too much to wait for a file.
does anyone have a link of this file to uploaded, or zippi, or mediafire, or any free site or mega or dropbox, or box?
thanks in advanced
i want this files cause im ready to root my tmobile s4 on kit kat so, also any guides or step by step would be appreciated:
im thinking of rooting, removing bloatware, so if anyone kind enough to help cause im new to samsung devices and also new to rooting samsung devices... i did root a htc that i had before this phone but i read that they are worlds apart from each other so enough said i dont want to mess up my phone or brick it. so please help guys

Yes you can. If you are rooted you can flash any Knox free ROM. That includes 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 ROM. I'm currently on Insane KitKat its a great ROM.

You mean TWRP?I was a long time user of the S3 myself. I've stayed away from Aosp because for some reason it breaks functions when I go back to Touchwiz. It did very well for me when I used HTC devices but not Samsung.

No I meant TPR as in a ROM called The Peoples ROM, my GS3 was on Sprint and being new to rooting anything that advanced TPR was the closest to stock with no sprint bloat ware in it,
I have since learned how to add and remove what I want to make a ROM customized to my personal needs and wants. Is, I like adding Kii keyboard into a ROM before flashing, since I love it so much I bought it
