Anyone else skipping roms?

I decided no roms this time around. I want everything to work. I will likely root to get rid of some bloat. Anyone else?

You're not alone. I was trying the same approach. So far I like what the note offers.

I agree, I'm only rooting to get my apps from titanium back, but other than that, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with touchwiz JellyBean

I will say that this is one of the ONLY phones that I ever thought about NOT romming but I doubt I will be able to hold back if something really good comes out...Hello, I am Justin, I am a flashaholic!
GOTTA have root access though... Can't have any company telling me what I HAVE to keep on my phone! :good:

My exact same thoughts. I only rooted to get rid of the bloat. Quick question though. ... im a little nervous... would I still be able to update if tmobile decides to push one even though im rooted?

I hope not to also but when a new version of android comes out and no update from the carrier then flashing seems like the only option..
Cm10 with S pen functionality is that possible?

Should get rid of CarrierIQ at least =/

Paranoid is a must on this phone. Will likely wait until there is a stable release.

Deff agree on that one. But alas, i will miss alot of the OG functions from touchwiz on this phone. Although with GN1, they found work arounds for it. Especially S Note.

My plan is to root as late as I can to avoid messing things up. I figure we won't see an update for a few weeks and by then all the bugs that come along with rooting a phone should be worked out. I really enjoy this phone and can, surprisingly, wait on rooting.

I know when I rooted that if I go to check for a software update it says it won't do it on a modified device so I am pretty sure we won't get OTA's through the rooted devices but you can just wait for someone to post the updated OTA and flash that and your good to go!
Or do you still have stock recovery?

Only rooted for bloat and spyware removal and a nice kernel. But im only flashing stock TW based roms!

The only way I will install a custom rom on the note 2 is if they come out with Android 4.1.2 , 4.2, or Key Lime Pie.

Seriously I don't understand why would anyone want aosp roms on this baby when spen features and touchwiz is what makes this phone awesome. To each its own. I just dont want the term flashing hipster to give birth.

I want to root but I want the functionality of ISIS.
So no rooting at this point

Im either going to wait to root until after the ota for multi window function is sent out or ill root if a rom including it is released first.

10.1 developments?

I noticed that the 10.1 section is empty. Will a custom rom from another size work?

Unfortunately no since both of the other Tab 3 variants use different CPUs. Think at this point it may be some time before anything gets going on the 10.1. I'm not really sure what the stigma is here it seems to be a pretty good performing tablet would be nice to have root to remove the bloatware and make better.

I don't think that it's necessarily a dead device just need someone to actually take a look at it instead of believing that theirs nothing good about it. From what I've seen so far it seems to have good battery life and not half bad in performance either and contrary to what I've seen in the reviews the GFX performance it actually also very good as well it beats my TF700 pretty solidly though resolution may be a factor there.

Thanks for taking the initiative on rooting the 10.1. I've had one for quite some time and can't wait until rooting and roms can start coming in. Too many samsung features that are awesome, but I personally dont need taking resources and would like to remove.

Im working also on stock rooted rom, and trying to get a recovery as well.
I don't have the device yet, so if you have it, and gained root... I would like some files:

[Q] Root for 4.3?

I'm getting some conflicting information and just wanted to get it straight.
I've been told by someone whom I think is reputable that it is possible to gain root after taking the 4.3 update.
I know from the Rumrunner S-off thread that S-off is not achievable yet but that doesn't necessarily mean rooting is impossible.
Can someone set me straight here? Is it possible to root 4.3 but still be S-on?
Thanks.

When the phone first came out you could unlock the bootloader at htcdev, but that lasted 1 day. I'm unaware of any ways to root without rumrunner.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks.
I was under the impression one could root provided the phone was still running 4.2. In that case rumrunner would work. However I didn't think there was any way to root 4.3. Not go s-off, just root.

Yea, I had this phone s-off but I returned to stock to have the camera repaired so I got stuck on 4.3. I had a Verizon replacement but decided to keep this phone since it was perfect after the camera repair...glad I did! Can't wait to get s-off again.

Hopefully it won't require anything like the "wire trick" on the Rezound Don't really want to go through that again. Still, really looking forward to ridding myself of all the bloat.

Firewater will be posted when it's done. I believe it will root 4.3. I had a one on 4.3 never used it but for a day and realized the reception was horrible and so I called Verizon and complained and they sent me this one that is 4.2 now which I rooted.

No there isn't one. Maybe you should wait for someone that really needs to unlock. It would suck bad to lose root over that. I've seen people lose root doing stuff like that before is why I don't advise it.

Yeah thats a good idea. I know there are members here with a stock s on phone with 4.3 so I should wait. I always ruu back to stock and root again after messing with my phone a lot, like changing cid to run a Google edition ruu, stuff like that. Done it twice on 4.2 with no issues.

So I ran firewater temp root, and it said everything was good to go.
However, I do not seem to have root access -- I tried Root Checker app and TWRP Manager.
Am I missing a step here? I'm running 4.3 OTA.
Thanks.

Flash a custom recovery and then a Rom of your choice. Twrp should mention if you have root or not.

4.4.3 Update on the way

I know there are numerous members including myself, that have updated to KK 4.4.2, and just experienced nothing but crap, in comparison to 4.3, which we cannot go back to. But, luckily there is a Galaxy Note 3/Galaxy S4/Nexus 5 god somewhere. They have heard our complaints about the srewed-up update released, and are currently working on the fix, which will be named 4.4.3. This update will fix numerous issues, involving the most talked about, camera and data drops......ps. connection drops, etc. I've read they are currently testing the update, so in other words, they jumped right on it. I hqve been suffering from the 4.4.2 sickness every since the update, wishing I could, or someone find a way to go back to 4.3. I just recently updated my Galaxy S 4, not aware of the troubles, but didnt run full testing method to ensure that I respected the update. I just immediately fell In love with the smoothness and speed, unaware of the crap under the covers. And then I got bold and updated my Beast of Hardware, the Note 3...........and was overwhelmed by the lack of tlc of the update. But threw all the rebooting, the battery pulls, the waiting for sitez to load, the non responsive buttons, they are working to fix this horrible experience. Thanks you Android for wasting time, but at least aorking to fix the problems. Upon release of the fix, I cant wait to see the sweetness the Dev's bring to the table with the new OS fix.

The bootloader is unlocked. Even on 4.4.2. The qfuse won't let you downgrade the bootloader, but it's unlocked. I have the 4.4.2 bootloader with TWRP 2.7.0.0 and running leanKernel, so obviously it's not locked.

Back when 4.4.2 was released a member here that works for Samsung said when it would be released and it was released on the exact day he said it was. He also said another update was already in the works for May so it is no surprise that another should be hitting before long.

Hi guys,
Just bought this a half hour ago. I have the G2 so I already know I want to root it. What should I do? I haven't turned it on yet. I'm guessing it will OTA once I do. Is that bad? Should I root beforehand? Any advice is welcomed!

Just turn it on, it wont take the OTA unless you tell it to.

Cool. I heard you can use ioroot 25 with 4.4.2. So I'm upgrading and I think I'll root then.
