Just bought one. I dunno why. Now I have Note 2 and N4. $450 for brand new in box. Originally from Bell. Unlocked in less than 60secs. :fuckyea:

Rooted and installed CarbonRom. May switch back to Touchwiz ROM though. We'll see how it goes. Guess I should sell my N4. INT version has so much more development though that's for sure.

Telus is selling refurb Note 2 for $450

What's a good rom to use? Thinking of trying out slim bean. I don't to lose the slips screen but the Samsung app that comes with phone is lagging the phone.

What's the slips screen?

The note should be used more as a tablet than a phone, unless you wear baggy pants. I love this thing tho, reminds me of the 80's cell phones that you hold a brick to your head lol.

Perseus Kernel + CleanRom 4.9

awesome battery life, 25% allows me to use 12hr LOL

man my phone is a huge brick in my pants now.

i bought an extended battery and battery door to enclose the 128GB sd card so it looks better now. friggin slippery tho. not running a case but using a "Glass M" tempered glass screen protector.

nice long battery life tho and doesn't look like complete shit anymore :)

i am using the OEM ROM so battery life is less than spectacular. I need a good OEM based rom so i can still use my exFat files system on my SD card.

Try to use Root Android...... still can't root my phone -_- sigh not sure what's wrong.... already set my phone to debugging mode.......

Try the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit by mskip from XDA?

LOL. Thought you didn't care about phone asthetics. Can't you just use a AOSP rom and format the card as FAT32?

I'm using CarbonRom with 64GB formatted as FAT32. Just did it in TWRP recovery.

BTW. Where'd you buy your Glass M screen protector?

the glass M came from a friend traveling from Vietnam. so i dunno where you can buy locally. the closest thing would be the Glas.T brand for around $30.

NOTE: they don't make one for the Note 2

so worth it tho. feels like the phone's naked. slides like grease moose poop.

oh and i cant format the card to anything but exFat. i tried on my PC and the Android OS just laughed at me. so im rocking the rooted stock OS.

Cool.. I ordered the rebranded one. Mime Glass protector. Cost a lot more :(

Pics of the phone?

My new case is here. DBACase Six Abundant. Fits like a glove.

creaks a little bit and its really slick/slippery.

i just use a external battery charger. i think 18,000 mAh is good enough :)

i can't decide which to try ... beanstalk or carbon... and with which kernel.

The S-pen functions that I use most are jotting down some notes when on a phone call, and drawing an outline for copy/pasting a selection on screen. Can I flash this function/zip back on or is there an alternative?

found out i can format my 128GB sd card to fat 32 and it'll run on AOSP based roms now.
:fullofwin:

EDIT: had to use a program from easeus.com. called partition master or something. its free.

FAT32 sucks though.. no files over 4GB.

Didn't I tell you that before? Lol

If you need those spen functions you're stuck with touch wiz. I'm using carbonrom nightly with the neak kernel.

After playing with the S4 I really want to sell my Note2 and get a S4......

may want to wait 2 more months before the note3

yeah, but what are you gonna keep on your phone thats over 4 gb in file size? I mean even I don't carry BluRay Rips.

works for me :)

yes, but nothing would format it to fat32. the card seemed to be locked at NTFS or exFat
