Well, if you wait for VZW to (finally, if ever) pump out the 4.3 update, you could have the actual product. And you would also remain stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
no one wants to wait on their slow ass though, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
kinda in a holding pattern right now it boots but wifi doesnt work :/ waiting on ken to get back to me because i need the modem and apn-hlos..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
Its because your on the 4.1.2 bootloader right? Theres a 4.3 param patch to add 4.3 wifi to the 4.1.2 bootloader and keep it knox free
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBowermaster:
Would the wifi fix from the Sky Note port apply? I think it just replaces a 4.3param_tz file.

well what do ya know :P it worked :)

i still would like to get the verizon param and tz.img though so when ken gets home i will release all toghether

1st zip will be your choice of odex or deodex stock 4.3 mj9 root rom

2nd zip will be firmware package with modem,tz,param

EDIT: its quite hilarious that this will be out before verizons lazy @$$ gets thier ota working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asacado:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
Did Verizon try and relock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
The question that's been on everyone's minds, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
It honestly doesn't sound like what Beans has, has the boot loader. Otherwise he probably would not have needed the WiFi fix. That is my take on it. You all know Verizon will lock this thing down like no other with the official OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
correct and why would i want it lol knox_warranty.. im all set with that lmao

bootloader is definetly relocked and i strongly dont suggest taking the ota until adam figures something out

what i am gonna release is just as good as taking the ota minus the aweful knox bootloader..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
U can still use all the internet features over wifi with no sim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Yea bite it Verizon! I'm surprised that they have the time to mess with us hackers, it must take darn near 24/7 to count all of the money they make off of us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Anyone else here feel a little suspicious about us getting this? Im sure a mistake was made somewhere, but you have to think...wait a minute, it was like in Star Wars when they got the "battle plans" to the death star...purposely, from the evil empire (that being Verizon of course) to set the plan and lured us in...Where walking into a trap people!!! j/k.

We gotta talk about your priorities man...

Cant upload cause your traveling with the family... cant get the files beans needs cause you're "at work"... haha. Thanks for hooking us up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
can't wait to see this thing released! I've been stalking the board ever since I found out beans got the file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
Me too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
okay, now are biggest priority is to try and pull the OTA to our phones and then pull zip without installing it. I'm unfortunately getting ready to odin back to stock. or at least flash the stock file I have on my sd card and then try and pull it that way.. Unless I need to be completely stock..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
Beans will release a flashable update for us soon enough. Make your backup if you're bored. (Mines already done... haha) Don't take the OTA if you do get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
oh believe me, I won't be taking that OTA, it almost kills me when I'm stuck just on stock nowadays. I love me some AOSP, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
Word. I ain't played with much aosp on the note 2. Ran some kick ass builds on my old s3 before I kicked it to the lady friend cause I wanted a bigger screen. I've been meaning to but beans22 has been running oh so sweet

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
I use the **** out of mine. I didn't when I ran my device at 320ppi but now that I'm at 265 I find the spen mandatory.

I'm running nova launcher and have been using spen helper which seems to work well. Does the spen do something I don't know about? Spen helper and papyrus seem to be the go to replacement sammy apps-what else is missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
nice. yeah, I can't stand the stock dpi anymore. I have mine set to 230-245 with the nav keys on. Yeah, I'll use Papyrus on AOSP sometimes, lol.

EDIT: ugh, odining back :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I run 240dpi...and hate nav keys lol. Anybody here try Action Launcher yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
Do you guys just change the build.prop for your dpi changes or use the xposed module to change certain things?

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

I use rom toolbox to set the system dpi to 265 (build prop edit.) Using beans22, per app dpi settings is right there so using it and xposed, I go in and manually set all the Samsung apps to 320 as well as the calculator, calender, dialer and contacts which keeps them looking sort mostly normal.

The stock Samsung keyboard I have set to 278 and it's still not right but I couldn't stand the Google keyboard even if it looks right.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Yep, it will have that knox counter along with I'm sure a bootloader that wont be cracked. No thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I never use the pen so not sure but everything else works. GPS locks right on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Librarydingo:
It's been my experience that with the non touchwiz ROMs, the spen will work just like a normal stylus. I've tried out one of the CM 4.4 ROMs and, as much as I like KitKat, there was something buggy about it that would crash the phone whenever I got an incoming call. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
This is my first device with a stylus... I don't even know the difference.

Guess I'll just have to try it and see for myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blizzy13:
has there been a way to push something into a rom so that verizon bootloader thinks its verizon and dont kick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
If you like being rooted and having the option of flashing custom ROMs, don't take the OTA. If history is any indicator, the next update to this phone will lock up the bootloader with little to no chance of ever unlocking it, a la SGS4 and SGN3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
+1. It will take a few days for us to get a flashable version. I would rather have the devs take a look at the file structure/code to make sure vzw didn't inbed some kind of fcking Trojan horse or something. Plus, what makes anybody think adam will make/update his unlock tool? Im sure he's moved on to big and better things. Stay patient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Librarydingo:
My problem with custom ROMs with the Note 2 is that I've never found one that doesn't have something that causes it to crash, or some other annoyance. I never really had that kind of issue with my Galaxy S3, and I almost never had the stock ROM on it at all. But say what you will about the stock ROM, I've never had any issues with it on my Note 2.

Good timing.

You know it's very weird, I haven't been following 4.3 update from Verizon at all, and today while at my mothers house eating dinner, I just said to myself I wonder if 4.3 was released yet for my phone, and I came home and went to XDA, probably for the first time in 3 months, and found this thread, minutes before Beans was going to finish uploading the rom.

Now if that ain't destiny, I do not know what is.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] K20Z1:
Hey guys, congratulations on scoring 4.3 early. I gotta vzw gs3 and someone by the name Bulls1969 posted a screen shot of what he claims is a ota 4.3 build for our gs3. I noticed the build for the note 2 is vrueMJ9, I thought that would make the build the 9th build of the day during October but the kernel build date shows November 19th, so shouldn't the build be like vrueMK9 for example? I thought the M is for 2013 and J would be October, K would be November and then the number at the end is the build of the day? Am I way off? Or could that all be right but all samsung did was fix the kernel, that's what was causing problems and so the build stays the same from October or so and then they just updated the kernel in November? Because if this is true it seems that the guy who posted the vzw gs3 4.3 pics might have the real thing too because the build is vrucmj3 but we didn't get to see the build date of the kernel.... Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Again, I could be very wrong about reading samsungs build codes too so I could be way off on this and apologize in advance if I'm wrong on it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fowldogs:
Today when I logged into my PC, the Verizon Samsung Upgrade Assistant had an update to install. Once I updated the program, I got a popup that an upgrade to my phone was ready to download. Oh boy the excitement!!!! I told it to upgrade my device and it downloaded a decent size file based on the time it took to download. However, to my disappointment, when I tried to upgrade my phone, the software said I was on MC3 and my phone was up-to-date. I checked for an upgrade on the phone and got the message that there was no update. I am not sure what the Upgrade Assistant downloaded, but it doesn't appear that it was 4.3.

Verizon, why do you tease me?????

Motor X for note 2 huge downgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Downgraditis?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
What's the downgrade? Only thing missing is maybe ¼" of screen real estate for me. Battery life is the same, I get better LTE speeds, and I'm on KitKat. I guess the argument could be made for lack of expandable storage, but I got 50GB of Google Drive space for free for the next year or two, and I didn't have to jump through hoops to unlock my DE phone and root it. Active Display >> LED Notification Light. And, since the phone is nearly running AOSP already, getting AOSP working fully shouldn't be that hard either.

The Note 2 is great, but the size started to get annoying, as is all of the extra crap Samsung has put into the phone. There is some stuff I miss, but not much.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Interesting. I love my note 2. Same battery life? Really?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
With the motox circuitry, yes. Even though the battery is smaller, Motorola was able to balance it out. What I find most troubling, this comment was made by imnuts...aka "tweaked" rom...the best f'ing rom that ever grazed the note2. Man, I hope you still give us some tweaking for the note2? That would be horrible if we don't....but on the other hand, would give me a reason to switch to the Motox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Right on. Nuts literally saved my droid (gulp) charge and made it a functional phone with tweaked, it was magic.

I haven't tried tweaked on note 2. I wanted Tw for this phone for spen and other features. Not sure if tweaked is aosp or not etc. Beans has ran to absolute perfection and if it hadn't I'm sure I would give it a run. I love this phone and don't even see need to get note 3.

Glad Moto apparently stepped their game up. I owned a droid X (8 really) , then a free upgrade to x2 from Verizon for the constant problems. I "accidently" dropped it in the hot tub on vacation with the ex :D

NINAZ! Nuff said
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
I owned the X, then the X2 after vzw replaced it. I loved the phone but that encrypted bootloader really left a sour taste in my mouth. I've been boycotting Motorola since.

Now, with the developers edition of the new X... it may be time to lift that ban.

Although, Motorola upgrading so quickly--it will put pressure on other manufacturers to step up their game in the updates department, which is a really good thing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ivanov13:
I must disagree with you. Have you actually tried that phone? I have. it's ui is much better than laggy TouchWiz, it has about the same battery life and Android 4.4 already while SGN II is lucky to get 4.3. S pen is the only feature that you would miss, but it's OK.

So how is it downgrade?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
4.4 is bomb diggidy just my 2 cents. I never use the pen. Only time its been taken out is when someone is checking my phone out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
For someone that goes to about 3 meetings a day (like me), sure is nice to use my spen to take notes and have them uploaded to my account automatically. I love 4.4. Been using it on SlimBean and CM11. But I could never go back to a tiny phone again.
