You can stop those with Autostarts (free in the market), and requires root. It prevents them from opening at all. If you end up checking it out, use the "after startup" disable option.

- Root required apps (there a lot of really good ones - this alone would be enough for me to root).

If you're not interested in theming, or a lot of modifications, then stock is cool. Features, changes, and modifications from custom roms can be patched to stock roms; the only advantage of using custom ones is that they're baked in for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jev3gs:
I am sticking on stock rom for now, just going to root so I can restore a lot of my old apps, nothing more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
I've already flashed Da_G's root/over clock kernel, which got rid of the lag I was seeing. As soon as cwm comes out of beta I'm going to check out saurom. The Note's out of the box experience is one of the best I've seen, but there is just too much improvement to be had to stay stock, IMHO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
CMW b3 seems to be flawless so far!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
I think it is a good idea to stay all stock until ics update comes out and we apply it. (I expect them to want us to be all stock when applying the ics update that is why)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Fair enough but there will be several ICS Roms months before official AT&T. (I am typing from my ICS Captivate right now for example). Plus you can always flash back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bclark:
I was stock from best buy to my house and that's it and I can't wait till I can get a sub 100mb ROM onto here. The bloat is sickening and even after removing down to mid 100 it's still not performing to it's non touchwiz potential.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Just to throw in my two-cents, I am fairly impressed as well with the Touchwiz 4.0 interface. Coming from an Atrix (blur) and Inspire (sense), touchwiz is a big step up imo. It feels like gingerbread done right to me. Although it isn't without a few issues, like the slight but noticable lag (to be fair all stock roms seem to stutter a bit occasionally), the no wallpaper scrolling and no landscape mode for the touchwiz launcher.

I think it will be interesting to see what devs or even Samsung/AT&T come up with to merge Touchwiz and ICS. It's gonna be a good year in the ROM community on this phone I can feel it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sarius24:
Both my notes are on stock. I have no need for a rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Yeah but... stock IS a ROM, too.

I think it is a great thing that this phone is so good that we can use it stock. Haven't got mine yet but I only plan to Root it and use stock for a few weeks, at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JGuinan007:
So far yes

Right now there really aren't that many roms for the galaxy note lte so I'm going to wait until ICS comes out play with that for a while then I'll be flashing away!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] burhanistan:
I think people obsess over nothing rather than actually use their devices. That said, I'm not bothering to flash anyone's cooked ROM until there's an ICS update from Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
^That, less the o/c kernel. The performance boost isn't exacted necessary, but you WILL notice it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I was going to try and stick with the stock ROM as long as possible. However, my addiction got the best of me, and im now laying in bed at the end of my first full day with my Note, and I'm running TPC2 with Da_G's OC kernel. Go figure. Haha.

Not that I was having troubles with the stock ROM, as it was actually really smooth and lag free for the most part. On the other hand, now my Note is an absolute beast. The Note is definitely the first Android I've been happy with out of the box, but I would still rather be running a custom ROM, if not just so I can tell people it's running custom software when I show them my phone.

Samsung really hit it out of the park with this phone. I will never look at a smaller phone the same way again. Forever ruined! And I find the SPen to be really comfy for just navigating my phone and precision of selection. Swyping is fun with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Roger_15:
I think it's not necessary for me to do anything yet. But don't get me wrong, I will root the phone eventually. I have a real problem with ATT telling me that I "have" to suffer software I don't want on MY phone. That in its self encourages me to root. But, I am waiting to see if ICS is really going to be available soon.

I wonder though if Rooting would affect the upgrade process--perhaps someone could answer this for me. If not, I would be tempted to root my Note after the thirty days (window of time for return) is up. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I flashed roms daily on my Inspire, but I am stock now and planning on staying that way forever or at least until If leaks. the only thing I've done is root to disable ads and remove bloatware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jasmynsway:
I'm still stock. I've rooted and jailbrake-ed other phones. I really like this one the way it is. The bloatware etc don't bother me much. I may root after ICS. For now, my Note rocks pretty hard just the way it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Are you asking if root will affect upgrading to ICS? The answer to that is no. If you flash a custom ROM then that answer is yes. You would need to go back to stock ROM for the ICS update from ATT. However, there will be ICS ROMs here well before ATT releases it.

What's the 30 days thing? Not getting that part. What happens in 30 days? Maybe you mean the window to return your Note. I agree you might want to wait for that to expire before root. But you can also un-root if you want.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
Stock for now, root after 30 days, install OTA ICS when it comes out, install custom rom 30 days later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alnova1:
I traded for my Note...I did root but nothing more. Waiting for stable CWM and a rom I would like to flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
I'm waiting for a stable CWM before doing flashing. Right now the 2 roms we do have aren't enough. One is stock minus bloat and the other seems to have alot of bugs according to the posts.

Rooting and removing bloat is enough to hold me over till aokp is released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I'm on stock but I am on rooted and have OC kernel going.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:
I rooted using Tpc's V2 Rom via Odin. Installed cwm b4 (which btw is stable) via dd then installed Da_g's oc kernel via cwm. No counters tripped. One fast note and one happy camper here :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Question for you stock folks. There is a thread stating that when earphones are plugged in the notifications still play through the speaker, and not in the earphones. Can you confirm this? Seems stupid if it's true. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] songyop:
Why on stock?

FYI, I have tried both of aforementioned ROMs and they are both pretty solid.

I'm running DAGr8's SauROM now with a beta4 version of CWM- it's very stable, much faster than the stock ROM with no visible lags. If you want to really enjoy the true capability of this phone, you need to have one of these custom ROMs for now. :D (Quadrant score of 3600 and Antutu score of 7000, but most importantly, a very smooth and lag-free operation!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bman17:
That's what I was afraid of was the trip counters. With your setup no trips is great.

I'm stock as well right now and have been happy with it.

All I've did is just uninstalled some of the ATT apps that were on there (Marks the Spot, why? and "ATT Messages") Going to see if I can get a few more off and wait for the ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Stock here. Went through the unlock and try-the-latest-rom roller coaster with my last phone. So far haven't found the need to do it with this phone. UI is decent, I can wifi tether w/o rooting, I've solved every problem I've run into (like lack of repeated notifications for calendar events). So stock it is, for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:
Yeah I'm still at 0. My battery life has been awesome. If you like to tinker and customize some stuff, its nice. Added battery indicator mod with percentage so that saves me 1 app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bman17:
Nice. Yeah I've been reserved to play with Note compared to when I had my Captivate.

I'd have to give some serious though especially if the counter stays at zero.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
I am rooted and still at 0 count, but sticking with stock until some really solid ICS roms come out eventually. The stock rom has no real issues but rooting just enhances control of everything and makes a great device even better.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
From what I have been reading and based on my personal desires in a rom neither of the 2 currently available roms offer a significant enough improvement over stock for me to justify flashing. The biggest improvement people are seeing comes from the overclock kernel and I have no desire to overclock my phone.

Too many people are having issues with cascading fc and reboots so ill wait out the initial bugs.

So far the only real tweaks they offer are lte toggle and deodex and zipalign. I'm not dissing either rom, I'm just waiting until people are seeing 4000 quadrant scores at stock clockspeeds, something my atrix could almost do at 1ghz with cm7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Simba501:
Understandable, as I am also one to avoid kinks.

But, you care about benchmarks? Why? The atrix benchmarked off the charts and was utter crap.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
I don't care about benchmarks, but if I can get the relative performance with my note I did with my atrix I would be happy. My atrix with cm7 was stupidly fast doing normal things. All apps opened just about instantly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bman17:
That does sounds pretty awesome though.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
No CIQ means no ROM

I'd only want a ROM if CIQ was on the phone.

My GNote is overclocked though.

My first Droid was a Skyrocket and I went through a couple of ROMs (nonOC)... but there always seemed to be something that didn't quite work right (functionality or apps) that left a bad taste in my mouth. Everyone seemed to be really impressed with the OC kernel Da_G did, so when CMW was beta4 I went ahead and took the plunge... pretty kewl.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
I rooted and installed the CWM beta 4 without increasing the flash counter.

I almost always stay on stock, with small enhancements, and switching up kernels and modems. Not ready for that on the Note yet, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
I am still stock. I have only had the phone for a few days. It is exactly what I expected it to be...a SGS2 on steroids. I played the flashing game with the SGS2, but always went back to stock/rooted. I predict it will be the same way with the Note. I really love having nandroids and Titanium Backups although I hear you can get that stock using MyBackupPro. So far all I have done is unlocked it for when I have to travel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
I'm stock unrooted. I've had it for about 2 weeks now and really see no need to change yet. Sure, I check OTA updates like every day, but I rode the ROMcoaster with my last few phones, and I always seemed to have some loss of functionality stuff that no one had ever had before I came up with it. Not knocking any of our awesome ROM chefs, I'm sure it was something on my end, and I usually figured it out. But, for now, and for the first time ever on Android, the stock ROM has everything working I need, and its fast enough for my tastes, so I'm sticking with it and likely will until ICS is available, either here or OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
How'd you do that?

I thought CWM increased the flash counter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] farisk:
I'm still on stock with oc. When I had the S2 I was always changing Roms until I found miui. So now I know just to wait for miui. All other roms are not worth it for me right now as with the oc kernel the phone is very fast and smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icebergisonfire:
I've owned a note for about six hours now. I've come from the Captivate side of things. I just want a nice stable ICS rom. I have the CM9 Alpha on the Captivate and I too, like many others are tired of the rom merry-go-round that we have all been on. I just want a nice, solid ICS rom for this device and then I'll be a happy camper. This is my first post over here as well. Hello all. :D

To be honest I'm not much of a fan of stock touchwiz. So whenever the android development thread gets rolling with some stability, I'll be switching to aosp ICS the second I can.

I'm with you one this one. I have a vibrant with ics and it runs flawlessly. Its hard to downgrade your software experience especially when the note is such a great device. Had ICS been on board at launch, the notes would be selling like hot cakes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Well, ive had my Note for 3 weeks now. This is my first Android device. Prior to this i was all iPhone so fortunately it looks like i picked the right one the first time. With my iPhone it was absolutely necessary to jailbreak as I couldn't use the phone stock. Once it was Jailbroken, there wasn't a better experience anywhere. Enter the Galaxy Note. Now I am all stock, no root or anything and am pleased so far. BUT, if i were to start tinkering, what baby steps should I take first? All i want right now is to smooth and speed things up. Functionality and appearance is a o k so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vampiro:
I agree with you.

I rooted mine the second day I bought it. Installed Pre-rooted kernel and installed CWM a1 and TB to load old apps. Unfortunately, I experienced nasty issues with reboot or power cycle. Phone will get stuck loading apps and load errors that forced me to restore with previous backup. After this, loaded CWM b4, and the problem persisted. It's a pain to reload apps and change settings coming from Infuse I997.

I bought this model for processor and big screen, however, bettery only lasts one day so far.

Also, rooted to install ES Task Mgr to prevent apps from loading and stopping others after boot. I haven't seen much improvments with that and, even got secondary effects.

If anyone has a good option to keep Stock w/root, speedup response, make batt last longer, suggest advice, tweaks, options an/or apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] N3RD420:
I was staying on the stock rom for a while till the bugs got worked out and all that. Now CWM isn't giving anyone issues. I'm on Saurom rc4 and its butter compared to the stock ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vampiro:
I would you explain the improvements are the benefits of having the 1 you installed with on regards battery stats and performance overall?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
baby steps?

First thing would be to root via one of the methods in the dev forum. Read all the instructions and it's pretty simple.

Second, get titanium backup app from the market (now play) and this has a function to freeze apps (i.e. AT&T added software) which effectively allows you to set them aside but restore if needed.

once you got that mastered you can then proceed later trying new ROMS if so desired but not necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Cool thanks. I was reading this morning about flash counts and all that jazz. Pretty simple? Seems a bit more involved than I'm used to but I may just give it a shot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbueller:
I have a question - in any custom ROM I've used on my SGSII the notification/status dropdown has extra functionality. I LOVE doing a tap & hold on the wifi icon, for example, to go to Wifi settings, etc. Plus they have extra icons on there such as reboot, flashlight, etc.

Is there any way to get this on the Note stock ROM while rooted? I'd love to know if there's an app/hack/script to install that functionality. Thanks...

I am so with you on staying stock! I did root it & added CWM Recovery Beta 4, but not doing the custom ROM thing. I realized that I had become a ROM addict on my Streak 5 & that led to tinkering with the internal memory, etc. I don't want to go down that road again. Plus, I'm actually enjoying this beast with AT&T's guts inside it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I love ROMs and flash on a more the regular basis. But when I have a new device I always leave it stock for an undetermined period of time. I do this to establish a mental baseling of how the device handles and runs, it's pros and cons, and of course features that I want to emulate on the next ROM (features like the SPen stuff). Otherwise I have no way of gauging future ROMs effectiveness. I typically run stock for a few weeks to a month or so, with the only exceptions being my stack of Nook Colors which were bought with the sole intent to flash full android and release them from B&N bastard child OS.

I've only had mine for a week and like the stock version thus far myself. Coming from the Epic4g this is a beauty of a phone. My only dissapointment thus far is a bit of lag but beyond that things are great.

Will the OC kernal take care of the lag? I am rooted but nothing more at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
The lag is not due to the phone specs, it's the ROM. I'd wait for a Cyanogen or other stable ROM before flashing though, or at least until someone figures out how to do it without tripping the flash counter.
