I been finding stock 4.3, rooted of course a good experience. Haven't noticed too much slow downs, and my battery life definitely improved when compared to 4.1.2 stock rooted.

I like AOSP and all but on the Note 2, I been preferring touchwiz. The camera, and stability is something that always makes me come back. The little quirks and bugs with all of the AOSP roms eventually make me flash back.

Not sure what you mean by delay on word predictions. The new keyboard has been awesome in auto-correcting my spelling mistakes nice and quickly. Scrolling on the internet browser has been smoother than ever as well.. How can our experiences be this different?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreancanuck:
Experienced a lot of lag in the beginning but once it stabilized over a couple of days, it has been really smooth for me and not much difference of smoothness between 4.1.2 and 4.3 now. 4.3 just nice for me using lockscreen widgets but not much else though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bitemark01:
I've gotta say, Omni ROM looks pretty great, except from what I've seen, the camera doesn't even work? Once they can fix that and the the s-pen supported (and assuming I can import the s-pen app somehow) I'd totally use it. Otherwise I'm giving up way too much functionality.

The best method to root android 4.3

I just used Odin ,and many other methods in order to root ,but it failed all because of KNOX . I did a search ,and found this method , Just rooted successfully by using this method , just one click and there you go :

You can do the update ota.

New update is great but noticed a few minor things.

- Flash seems to be completely broken with most browsers I tested.

- Internet browser seems to quit when a tab is closed with two tabs opened.

- Multiwindow still can't open two of the same apps (i.e. two stock browsers or two messaging apps).

Hope these are updated/fixed in the next update.

I checked sammobile website, it seems the 4,3 roms has just over 1gb, while the 4.1.2 version has about 900mb. I am curious as to what features did the carriers include/exclude in the 4.3 roms versus the 4.1.2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreancanuck:
I thought I would share my own experiences using 4.3. In advance, I dirty flashed from CleanRom 5.0 and have not wiped (although I may after exams).

Most of the time, it's fairly smooth. I don't see lag that was not present in 4.1.2 except in very minor situations. It's been a pleasant experience mainly due to the fact that I like my dashclock widget.

Onto the things that irritated me: there's a noticeable lag sometimes when long pressing home for recent apps. Not sure if it's due to the dirty flash or if 4.3 not optimized for note 2. Also the data toggle is no longer there, not sure why they took it out. There is some additional lag here and there but nothing major.

I like the update but I don't see a glaring need for it. I like it for the lockscreen widgets and the nice transparent status bar but I think that's about it. Maybe this might help anyone out who is on the fence. Cheers

Edit: Not sure if it's my imagination but it seems like it charges slower on the newest version of jelly bean.

Anyhow, I have Rogers I317M, however it is modified and I am using it on Mobilicity. If I install this new one then I am assuming everything will be wiped out, including the modified modem.

What do you think of 4.3?

My Rogers Note 2 was just carrier upgraded to 4.3 yesterday morning. I'm finding that every now and then, it doesn't respond right away when I press a button (screen button, not hardware). Basically, it seems to freeze or hang for a second but it is infrequent. Anyone else notice this behaviour?

No issues at my end, just lag in a couple of apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Note 2:
Agh, I'm a little miffed about this update my phone did to 4.3.

1. My swipe shortcuts are gone from my swipe lock screen.

2. My application widget is gone now and I cant cant force end all my applications every so often anymore.

3. We never really did get any s pen features the note 3 has

4. It added more apps like knox, pen.up, group play, play games, etc etc

5. Is it a coincidence..... my AiCloud stopped working on CELL data now and only the same wifi network

I'm completely stock, never rooted but now this update has disappointed me cause I really was expecting more features from it and nothing being taken away from us, so what I want to do now is finally go with a custom rom. Which one would make our note 2 as stock as possible but act just like the note 3?

Thanks all. :)

Thanks for your reply.. yes I went from stock 4.1.2 rooted to 4.3 which is also rooted but no WIFI.... so flashing a kernel for wifi is my best option for restore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpants:
From what I understand. If you did not flash the new 4.3 boot loader you lose Wi-Fi.you can fix this with the proper kernel or by flashing the proper boot loader.

However

The 4.3 boot loader is knox enabled and a nightmare to downgrade.(or was last I looked)

But since I went to kit Kat..I stopped following progress on this issue.

Gallery issues...

Before the update I was running clean rom and phone was working great. Did the update (I'm on Telus) and phone was full of Rogers bloat and started getting 'unfortunately gallery has stopped working' errors. I ended up restoring my phone to it's original state, updating to 4.3, re-rooting my phone and have now tried 2 separate roms and am still getting the gallery error. I also get random errors from the play store saying that it can't install on internal or usb storage.

Anyone have any thoughts? When I restored my phone, I used a backup I'd done when I first got it and had rooted it so it was a rooted backup but was a clean root at 4.1.2. All of these issues started after I updated to 4.3 :confused:

How did you flash the update? With ODIN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wizard604:
Just thought I'd share my experiences with the latest 4.3 update. I'm happy to report that update seems to be running fine after some tweaking. I was on 4.12 stock prior to update rooted with Cf Auto root no custom recovery (twrp or cwm etc)

I did not unroot prior to updating. The 4.3 update was installed via kies on pc. Had a lot of issues after the update similar to all those reported (fast battery drain, lag, inconsistent wifi performance, etc). I did not do a factory reset because I was lazy and didn't want to setup everything all over again. Though in hind sight it would have been the best way to go to avoid all the problems.

Here is what I did to get root and get rid of the problems.

- clear cache partition

- root using Cf auto root & odin

- install SuperSU via play store. It will complain that binaries are not installed & reroot is needed

- reboot & reroot using cf auto root

- run supersu and it will now install the binaries and you'll have root access

- reboot & select the Cleanup reinstall SuperSU from play store option (may not be necessary but seems to clear up some weird issues for me), reboot

- install Titanium backup and view your apps filtered for 'knox'. Freeze/disable all 6 or so entries. You're now knox disabled

- install Goomanager & run the Install open Recover script option which you can use to install twrp or cwm if you want a custom recovery

- boot to recovery and use to clear cache and dalvik cache, followed by backup

Is there a way to unlock my rogers note 2 to get back onto Fido without dishing out $15?

Does Rooted = Unlocked = ?

Does Rooted + Software "hack" = unlocked?

Just getting bk out there to thank you guys for just keeping this post alive and answering whatever you guys could. Give love you get love..

SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED 4.3 AND LOVING IT

flashed via odin on an unlocked Rogers sgh-t137m working bearutifully on Fido

bricked it twice but didnt get scared 3rd time was a charm as they would say. Came back up running with all stuff from 4.2. Factory reset and clearing cache from my custom recovery was what helped things going before flashing with odin successfully. Flash was successful and EVERYTHING is back to stock including stock recovery software

Few things i did notice, on the second attempt...From Download mode...

Knox Warranty Void: 1

System Status: Official

Custom Binary Download: Yes (6 counts) ***did not increase after the odin flash*

Ap Swrev: A2

Current Binary: Samsung Official

Knox warranty was void from the second attempt as something went wrong and had to clear cache and flash with odin on the 3rd attempt.

whatever Knox is up to seems like its keeping close tabs on Samsung devices whether we want to or not.

Thanks to bugs9477, jurassic512

P.S

Device Status Says OFFICIAL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jurassic512:
Knox Warranty Void: 1 happened to me too. I think it happened when I rooted 4.3 with CF-Root via Odin. At boot, I got a warning in the status bar saying something stopped an app from running and it was SuperSU. Supposedly, after Knox warranty is void (1), you cannot flash a non Knox firmware. I haven't read anything about your phone being bricked for attempting to, just that Odin will fail to flash the firmware. A couple people said Samsung will still honour the warranty for the device, but it won't reset the Knox 1 flag.

I doubt the S4 or Note 2 will get an official Kit Kat update so if I'm stuck with 4.3 I'm cool with that. I used to flash a lot, but not anymore.

I guess there is a $2000 bounty for anyone that can reset/reverse the Knox flag. *fingers crossed*

FYI, Knox was designed to secure BYOD (bring your own device) approved phones you use at work.
