[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1975:
This started popping up the other day when I flashed a new ROM. I restored my nandroid and it still pops up randomly. Just flashed cookies & cream 3.1. Works fine but when I go into settings, language and input, every time this error message pops up and closes. I went into my thumb keyboard and was able to select it as default through the app but still have the same issue when going through settings. Any advice?

Well, you have the option of flashing the factory rom and starting over at least. I know that's not much help, but it's what I would do if I couldn't solve the problem in short order.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkoolpatz:
Hello all, i recently bought Note2. I switched over from my 2 years old HTC desire which i had rooted in the very first month for various reasons.

Just to give you a background i am not against rooting. But i believe, since we are taking this risk, it should really be worth it. For my HTC, it had 128 mb of internal memory, no official upgrades and i loved cm. So it was all worth it.

Looking at Note2 it a better looking version of cyanogenmod. (off-course will a few features missing). Although i was used to reflashing my Desire every month, i havent found any substantial reason for rooting NOTE2. It has regular updates biggass memory and HDD. very fast CPU

Only thing i miss is a more powerful flashlight (Torch) and a stock 5x5 TW launcher (i am using go launcher now to leverage the screen real estate). So apart from this and that i've heard Gmail 4.2 has pinch and zoom. I havent heard of any substantial gains by rooting NOTE2.

Please list what are the advantages of rooting NOTE2. i know the advantages of rooting in genral. i am specifically talking of note 2. Also i dont want to you all to list advantages like nandroid backup CWM recovery etc. since my contacts sms / call logs and apps are already being backed up at google / dropbox / Evernote.. I am loking for something substantial.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkoolpatz:
Thanks for the quick response. Specially the link. Most folks on the thread state that custom roms or even root has not been a great benefit to them in case of Note2. i do not need the above functionality you mentioned since the only reason i need vpn / ssh is to connect to work. Which i do from my laptop. But i will be on the look out for anything that pops up. Thanks again
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoJo2211:
My reason for rooting ANY android phone is...

Adaway

I'm sick and tired of flashing custom roms because I have found that after playing around with stock roms, I revert back to "stock firmware" anyway. So i just stick to stock samsung firmware. There really is no need to root for other than getting rid of the adds (i use adaway).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
1. Titanium backup

2. Nandroid Backup

3. Debloat the rom with stuff i don`t need with ROMCleaner

4. Adblocking

5. Flashing mods like increae incall volume, brightess.

6. Flashing stock firmware and keep root with Mobile Odin

7. Raise the readahead values to load up apps, webpages, and other stuff faster

8. Overclock for performance or undervolt the kernel to save power.

Other users might also have other reasons so enough reason to do it i guess ;)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pzucchel:
+1. In my opinion, this is ultimately the only reason for rooting - all the rest can be done in other ways.

However, some applications like orange cinema series (in France) check if the telephone is rooted - if so they won't work. Ultimately, rooting is becoming a very debatable benefit today - up to the next release of Android 5.0 on the New S5 processor. At that moment, i am sure that Samsung will delay updates as much as they can, since the hardware improvements become more marginal (with the exception, of course, of LTE) and therefore a differentiating factor between latest models and 1 year old devices. And then, all back to AOKP and CM27...

I say this by experience: my galaxy S I9000 works like a charm with Jelly Bean, and it would still be a froyo telephone if i would follow ORANGE F.... :p

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroTechMaster:
For me the most important thing about rooting is themes, i hate stock theme(grey windows etc) and i love transparent status bar, other things wich pusch me to go for a root is basicly posibility to remove stock apps, custom kernels wich give u better performance and battery life and offcorse for my mod sd2extsd wich give u oportunity to save more things on ur phone(games and apps)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graveghoul:
I'd have to say solely for themes and removing bloatware with a custom rom to get the most of the ram availability.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergencyMedic:
11GB is tiny - particularly if you want a coupe of good games (you know you do lol) - apart from the 1-2GB of physical space the app takes (even when storing saves etc on SD) INSTALLING them takes more space and many require several more gigs ONLY during the install process (presume for unpacking etc) so you have to leave a couple of giggs free - leaving you with 8-9GB of usable space - not a lot.

If you use no games at all I agree 11GB might just do but other apps will fill it quick - eg: snote stores all its notes in internal SD (only small but multiply a few notes a day x a couple of years - it all adds up)

My friend has a 16GB SGNI - NO GAMES, but any medical apps (each 20-200M) and he's struggling for space

I just don't want to be limited (that's the whole reason I'm leaving ios for my mobile)

Ad blocking, and Nandroid alone are the main reasons why I rooted my phone..... there's also lucky patcher.....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt73:
I think you are confusing rooting with loading up a rom. Rooting is a must for a lot of users who want to customize. For example, let's say you want to use an NFC tag in your car to turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth and turn on GPS. This will work fine all the way up to the GPS part, which requires rooting to make it automated.

As others mentioned, titanium backup and other software needs it as well.

Rooting unlocks possibilities, it isn't loading CM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmyrit:
Don't worry about rooting until you find a need for it (get tired of ads, overclocking or just a general love for tweaking the build.prop file or any of the various apps requiring root access). Until then, just enjoy your phone :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
There always is reaso for root if you are a "power" user. Hell, I even rooted Nexus 7 which is stock Android and has always the latest updates :)

1) Titanium backup - backup your apps & settings & data

2) Xposed framework - tweaks, themeing without flashing, really cool

3) change bootanimation

4) change system sounds which in stock tw ROMs are awful especialy screen press

5) apps that don't work without root, i.e. DroidSheep, WifiKill, Autostarts, SD Maid

6) Adfree

7) Directory bind - keep all huge obb files, maps, etc on SD card by mapping sd card folders as internal memory

there are more, but I can't remember right now :)

Why To Root The Note 2

the main reason for me to root the note 2 is for overclocking because it gets laggy as hell . I rooted one 2 weeks ago for a friend and overclocked the CPU & GPU and its perfect . I rooted it via ODIN and used Perseus-alpha36.3-n7100 kernel on a stock rom . its very easy and doesnot require any knowledge even a noop can do it .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konflict1471:
So, I've got a UK Samsung Galaxy S3, and only recently, the carriers have started to push out Jelly Bean to the device. Only Three has done it so far, but, I'm sure my network will follow suit soon.

However, I literally have just rooted my phone. I used the guide which Chainfire provided in the forum - so, CFRoot 6.4.

I have installed CWM, and also TeamWinRecoveryProject - since I preferred TeamWin's interface, and the videos which I saw of it spoke highly of its capabilities.

So, when the Jelly Bean update does come out for my carrier (EE), will I be able to keep my root? I read around on the internet that if you have CFRoot kernel, you can still perform OTA updates (EE disabled the option, anyway, sadly) without losing root.

If so - perfect.

If not, though, would it be perfectly safe to just let Samsung Kies update the firmware? I understand it will remove root capabilities, but some people have posted about conflicts arising when flashing back to stock due to the install custom recovery.

Would it be easier to just install a ROM? I'm looking at CM10, and Paranoid Android. Both are JellyBean 4.1.2 ROMS. If I install them, would that mean that my phone would update to 4.1.2? I understand these are variations, but, is flashing a rom with a higher firmware number the equivalent of updating software through OTA/Kies?

Thanks a lot for your help! Rooting newb, here...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
You don't have to think like that.

Samsung official roms are not the same than AOSP (ie pure google source based) roms, like CM, aokp, pure aosp.

In Sammy roms you'll find different framework , all the samsung apps that can't all be installed on aosp roms. You must think about what you want from a rom.AOSP ones are more fast (look at the size of downloads... between 800 MB and more than a 1 GB for most sammy roms, less than 500MB for others, even less than 200 for some), each of them have specific design and features.

You can have 4.1.2 by flashing any rom now, I think most of sammy roms are now based on latest uk Sasmsung JB. Changes between 4.1.1 &nd 4.1.2 are minimal and most of them under the water for end user.

For me rooting and installing CWM and wanting to keep pure samsung offcial rom is antinomic. The spirit of rooting is to get rid of imposed manufacturer choices.

Don't think about numbers but about features.
