[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
@jjardinero

First things first, you go to Settings > Choose back up and reset > Factory data reset, then follow through with the instructions until your phone reboots as a newborn. This does a pretty thorough job of removing most traces of your existence on the phone. To check, plug your phone into your computer via the USB cable as a media device (MTP); Open your phone drive through my computer; Delete anything & everything still there (with exception to whatever doesn't want to get deleted). However, here at XDA, that probably isn’t good enough. Wipe everything means everything. Every damned thing.

You mentioned you attempted flashing a few ROMs. This would lead me to believe you have Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM). If you use an alternate software (eg. Teamwin) then, well, s**t. You’re gonna have to get back to me later as I’m going to plough on with CWM anyway.

Now boot into recovery mode. Many ROMs give you the option to reboot in recovery mode from the power down menu. If yours does not, I believe pressing and holding Volume up button + Power button + Home button for a minute or so until the Galaxy Note II boot logo appears then let go should do the trick and send you into recovery mode.

Once there, (for CWM) select “wipe data/factory reset”. Again, you ask? Yes. Do it, you bunch o’sticks. Step 2, select “wipe cache partition”. Simples. Step 3, select “advanced” and then “wipe dalvik cache”. If you are using Teamwin, you should be able follow the exact same steps via the “Wipe” category. After all, Teamwin has the simpler UI of the two.

And there you go. There shouldn’t be a fraction of a drop of you in that phone. Not a kilobyte of porn. Ready & willing for any ROM to be flashed. All this might seem like a long process, in reality this will take you no longer than 5 minutes.

I’ll get ‘round to adding a signature later…

Since you’ve already wiped cache, wiped dalvik & factory reset; I hope you wouldn’t mind if I told you repeat everything you just did again. Why? Give the Crash ROM page a visit. Read for a few minutes. That’s right. The latest version (v4.6) was released yesterday. And, as with all ROMs, the latest one is usually the best one. Hence, my best bet would be to wipe your phone clean again, download & flash the latest Crash ROM on to your phone and wish everything goes smoothly.

More importantly, read that page I linked to carefully. It specifically mentions Simplistic Framework NOT being a part of Aroma anymore. However, no need to be disheartened. If you keep reading, it also says you can add Simplistic yourself. For this, you would flash the latest ROM, as per usual, while ensuring you tick the “S-Voice” option via Aroma installer.

On finishing, you would then need to flash this over it which should give you back Simplistic. Again, if you just visit the Crash ROM page and read it all through, they provide the links for Crash 4.5 & 4.6 with Simplistic in their Themes section.

I'm really sorry, pal. I'm Scottish: renowned for being terrible at English. And, yet, I still haven't a bloody clue as to what you just said.

To be honest, I'm still chuckling my immature arse off at your "very nob question".

I’m not quite sure if this is what you mean, but do you want a factory reset of your phone so you get all the default, out-of-the-box Samsung features?

In that case, go to Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset and follow the instructions so your phone returns its default, regular self. I would probably do this first to ensure your phone was no longer a “live demo unit version”, as you put it.

Although, if it is simply a lockscreen with a lock pattern feature that you want then go to Settings > Lock screen > Select Screen lock and choose Pattern option and set it up as you wish. This should give you a lockscreen secured with a lock pattern feature, as you wanted. This is the easier/simpler option of the two.

I used to have a signature. Although, permanent marker was a pain to rub off my screen…
