This may seem like a dumb question but I am unsure about which root method or files I should be using to root my i717 that is currently running Jelly Bean 4.04 with kernel 3.0.8. I am thinking that I can just use the one shown in the general thread but that says for STOCK note.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get out from under the TWLauncher umbrella so I can use things like the new google search feature.
Thanks!
This is what I used. Worked great

Thanks, everything seemed to work well. The only issue I ran into was that the SuperUser pack he has listed kept failing. I had to go pick up one from the superuser site (sorry cant link yet) to have it complete successfully.
Now to try to find out which ROM I should use. Any recommendations? Im hoping to find one that has the new google voice search similar to siri. Thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated.

Glad that worked out for you, if you where looking for a custom rom, you could have skipped root in the first place and gone straight for custom recovery then a custom rom !
As for what your looking for, your looking for Google Search (Dubbed Google Now) on a Jelly Bean rom (unless you want to use a sideloaded possibly modified version for ICS) which is the parallel to siri (im trying to be neutral, IMHO Google Now crushes Siri six ways from sunday MOST of the time... situational use of course is the reason "most of the time" is said)

Actually a sideloaded modded version would be great. I am not really interested in much other than checking that out. I suppose I can just google for one unless of course you know of a working one. Thanks again for all the info.
Now is bundled into Google Search on JB. Hold the search button and it pops up. I'm using CM10 stable. Other roms have more options here and there but it's the most stable and smoothest I've used with the least random reboots ( A common JB problem)

Thats great and all, but from what I am understanding of what he said, hed rather not mess with it too much and stick on stock AT&T ICS 4.0.4 and just sideload Google Now...
I dont have a link handy, I read about it, but never cared because I have no issue with CM10 (but yea, google search should do the trick for you, just make sure you nab the latest version since it was only recently updated)!

I was able to find a working version of Google Now. Seems to work fairly well on my 4.0.4 build. I haven't yet decided if there is a real reason for me to try and change out the actual rom or not. There are so many that I really have no idea what I would be getting by doing one over the other.
Thanks again for the info.

First of all I would like to apologize if you have heard these questions a thousand times before, but I have done a fair amount of reading and haven't gotten enough concrete answers to be confident enough to continue.
I just got up the courage to root my Fascinate after over a year of having it by following droidstyle's excellent guide. It was very painless and worked first shot, so no worries there. Now I'm at the point of what to do next... I have already frozen the bloatware and looked into some 'root-friendly' apps but I'm not sure where to go from here. I think I've decided I want to get the most out of this thing as I'm not due for an upgrade for (what seems like) a long time. I'm under the impression that installing a good ICS rom is the way to go but I just have a few noob questions before I continue.
1) From what I have been reading Glitched AOKP ICS is the best rom to use currently on the Fascinate, correct? Also quick question, regarding the link to download it... is the current version the build 34 one or the milestone 5 one at the top?
2) Rooting my phone initially didn't erase any of my apps or data. What will installing an ICS rom erase, if anything? I will make backups of course, but I'm just wondering what to expect. Will the 'bloatware' apps still be there or will installing ICS install new system apps?
3) What market apps should I consider 'must haves' to tweak stuff? I already bought setcpu but haven't invested in anything else yet.
4) I plan to follow section 4 of droidstyle's guide but need clarification... even though I have rooted stock 2.3, I should still follow all steps right?
Thank you for listening to my noob questions and thanks to anyone who can offer advice. I have been building and working on computers for years but this cell phone hacking stuff is all new to me (obviously).

1) M5 is newest. Get glitched build off of the exynos server.
2) Complete wipe. A desktop equivalent would be formatting your hard drive with Windows Vista installed and doing a fresh install of windows 7.
Backup all data and contacts locally or on the cloud. Do NOT use Verizon to backup your contact data. Use Google or a local backup instead.
No bloatware will be present since custom roms do not come from the carrier.
3) NSTools. Maybe Root Explorer or wi-fi tether for google
4) Just follow the guide. Rooting doesn't have much to do with recovery and intalling ics and such.
Not to knock ICS, because I love AOKP, but you could also consider working your way there over time. I had a lot of fun playing with different Touchwiz ROMs like SC3 and TSM Res. You may even find one along the way that you want to stick with for a while. At the very least, you'll learn to get where a complete data wipe doesn't even slow you down.
There's so much good stuff still available for this phone. My phone is sheer perfections right now, but I still have plans to try out GeeWiz and MIUI.
Everyone knows the current destination is Glitched AOKP, but the fun is in the journey.
I agree. I would download everything rom,kernel, and app you can find for the phone between here and rootzwiki, just in case links go dead. Tsm res and awesome sauce are two very good roms that I had a ton of fun with. They are more forgiving to the new user as far as making mistakes goes. Couple of things to know before you continue are that you can use the three finger method to get into recovery on touchwiz roms but not the ics roms(must enter recovery through power off menu). You also cant just flash back and forth from touchwiz roms and cm7 or ics roms, as you have to follow certain steps

Well I was planning on jumping right into ICS as it looks amazing and I don't think I want to wait... however I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of trying different roms later on down the road. Is it going to be a pain to go backwards from ICS, or just flash like usual? Also, to those that have tried most of the 'good' roms, what would you consider your top 3 non-ICS?
Also on the subject of backing up my apps... I have been using Mybackup as it seems the most simplistic to use and reliable. Will my apps be exactly as they were when I backed them up (after switching to ICS) or is it just better to re-download what I need and configure them again?
I hate to spam some more questions but I figure since I already am... just a few more...
I haven't really messed with Setcpu that much, but is it bad to have it at 100/1000 or should I keep the max lower than that? And last one... what's the best wifi tether to use so Verizon won't send their goons after me? Is the USB tether from clockwork mod any good?
Thanks to all of you for your input. I think I'll be attempting to flash to ICS tomorrow night and hopefully all goes well.
You can go from touchwiz roms to isc roms by flashing but you need to do a lot more using the computer to go backwards. It will make more sense once you have a better understanding. Use titanium backup to backup your apps. If you really dont have any then just redownload them. If you are on the touchwiz roms you can use setcpu, but for ics roms you are going to be using an app called nstools or from control (built into settings section of rom). Again, more of this will make sense later down the road that is why I figured it would be better to start on a from like tsm Res or awesome sauslce

Well I'm still on the fence here on what to do. I really want to run ICS but with all the little glitches I've read about I think maybe I'll try some of the better GB roms first... I think TSM Res looks top for me with the features, but I might try more than just 1. I've heard not to restore data backups when going ICS... does this apply to GB roms as well? Should I also switch the radio or is what I have the same as the GB one? Thanks

That is a nightly and has a minor bug where apps on SD card force close. No biggie for more experienced users who know its a nightly and can deal. Nightlies are bleeding edge releases and as such can contain a bug or two. Milestones are stable releases to be used as a reliable daily driver if one is needed (some do). I recommend the m5 release since it is a milestone and you are new to this. I also want to see you have the best experience possible.

Moving to Q&A
I'm in a similar spot. I put CM7 on my wife's phone a while ago, but she has downloaded so much crap on it it's running like garbage and crashing.
Does the AOKP M5 have any bugs I should be aware of? As long as it's working well and everything is working (WiFi, Camera, MMS, etc), she'll be fine with it as a daily driver.
Two other questions I have.
Where can I get the correct glitchy Kernel?
Do I just need to download the ROM and kernel, wipe data/cache, then flash the ROM then kernel, then gapps (in that order) in Clockwork Recovery? Anything else?
She really likes the ICS stuff I've been showing her on my Rezound, especially the speech to text typing.
Thanks for your feedback.

Should I update radios as well? (Assuming yes since going to AOKP from CM7). Which ones should I do? Again, is this a simple flash in CWR? What's the install sequence?

Get the Milestone 5 Glitched build found HERE
It includes the Glitch kernel, so no need to flash separately, and also has a few extra cherry picks thrown in. This is a Milestone build, so no real bugs, should run smooth as silk.
I'm not sure of the recommended radio for fascinate on ICS.

QFT.
Get the Glitched build as it has fixes, extra available RAM, and much more not available in the AOKP official build.
Wifi, cam, and MMS all work fine. I can't honestly think of anything not working off the top of my head. NovaLauncher (Regular is free, Prime is $4 and well worth it for gestures) is recommended at this point since Apex has gotten a little slow.
Radio is recommended to be EH03 though I think ec09 and anything newer than eh03 work fine. I am running EH03 and no complaints.
I think I remember reading something about torch not working in ICS... is that the type of app that turns on the LED? Believe it or not I use that a lot and it would be a pain if it didn't work when I switch.
Also, is there any way to check what radio you're currently using before flashing? Tried looking that up but couldn't find it
Ah yes...torch doesn't work but you can use the tiny flashlight app to turn on the flash and achieve the same functionality.

The Tiny Flashlight + LED app? That's actually what I'm using now and if that works then I'm all set... I thought when people said 'torch' they just meant any app that turns on the LED
I flashed and ran into 1 problem. I had to flash Team Hacksungs Build 2 ROM first. Flashing glitched put me in an endless boot. Then I couldn't boot to recovery. I really was flipping out.
I had to Odin a new recovery in, wipe, then flash Team Hacksungs Build 2 ROM. For some reason, it booted into AOKP (?) then. I went back to recovery, wiped, reflashed AOKP and got it working.
I haven't searched yet, but anyone know where I can change the boot screen? It's really not a "wife friendly" boot screen.
As I understand it, torch refers to the built in flashlight feature in aokp called torch. Tiny flashlight plus the widget give similar functionality.

Hey, all!
Just got a stock non-rooted note last night. Looking into flashing ics + tmo's baseband. I've read through some guides that warned that some ics roms might not be flashed thru cwm, if you're coming from gb.
I've read through 3-4 different ics rom instructions, and nothing was out of ordinary (put on sd and flash via cwm or another recovery).
Is it a straight-forward process or some tinkering might be needed for some roms?
Thank you.
p.s. I apologize if this has been asked before (i'm sure), i just couldn't find a definite answer.
Agreed. New to this device/forum, and there is a lot of caution.. but none of the ICS rom threads seem to have much warning of an issue. It all seems very straight-forward.
I am on T-Mobile, but cannot see how that changes anything.
Just flash
Then flash your desired tmo modem.
Nuthin outta the ordinary
Bootloaders don't change so you can go back and forth between GB and ICS at will

It was simple, just read... then read again... I choose the hard way and go for the no counter route so my counter has never tripped. a little more labor put in to it , but i emphasize on the READ and READ again... it all went flawless.. except that i had my phone with all my data pictures blah blah... i didn't make a backup i was to excited and despite the fact that it said everywhere that it would WIPE.. i some how ignored it and lost all my data that was not uploaded to Google. but it is all good now. I have tried almost all the ROMS, even some GB roms... and decided i like Team perfection ICS objection. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630746]
but its all about personal preference.
everyone will claim theirs is better or it has something that makes it preferable over others....
You can try different versions like me and find one that you like.. I tried each one for at least a week or two before Wiping and loading another. again I have never tripped my counter. so I can allways go back to stock and use my warranty if needed.
Welcome to the AWESOME NOTE WORLD.
thank you, guys! the process was rather painless
a few questions though. coming from htc sense, i really don't like the stock gallery app that breaks the pics into folders. i'm used to the non-folder sorting by date. any apps i can try instead?
also, the browser doesn't auto-fit (yes, it's on) as good as the htc one. any alternatives?
thank you!
bump for a different gallery and auto-fit that works
also noticed that the camera doesn't have an option for a preview. the picture that has been take just disappears really quick. i'd like to set a 3 second preview. any aftermarket cam suggestion?
thank you!

Well I just bought a Note 2 yesterday and I'm ready to root it. There are a couple of questions I need help with if anyone is willing:
1.
Was wondering what is the best rom that is out. For now I actually like the stock rom that is on the phone now. I just came from owning a S3 and had it rooted, and was running Eclipse Rom, and Paranoidandroid. Liked them both but when I flashed the roms my cell signal went to crap. was really annoying. So i just want to be able to run a Rom that is pretty much stock.
2.
I wanted to run diffrent apps in my multitask window, like netflix, hbo go, etc. Was looking at this thread and didnt really understand what rom I can run to be able to use this tweak.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961314
I'm not a computer genius but I do know how to Root my phone and flash roms, just wanted to make sure I flash a stable ROM and wondering how to get this multitasking tweak on my phone.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Jelly Beans or CleanROM are the most popular TW based ROMs right now. They are both based on stock (so they are stable) and I think both have the Multitasking mod you are looking for.

Also which is better out of the 2 Roms
Also kinda curious is this the right way to root my phone or is there some type of updated version just wanna make sure before I start the rooting
You don't have to flash when you root to enjoy the benefits of it. You'll still be able to take advantage of root only features in apps etc. imo it's best in your case to just stay stock if you are happy with it, since that's the most stable. I went through a ton of roms on my Incredible and eventually went back to stock because all of them had some kind of instability. Some crashed every once in a while when you used the camera app and the phone restarted (which took like 5 minutes and made me miss out on photos), a couple others dropped 3G randomly and never got it back until you restarted the phone, etc. If there's nothing that makes a rom seem much better than stock for you, just stay stock.

Well my main reason is because I want to be able to add whatever apps in the multi-tasking window and from what I have read the only way is to flash a rom that has it

There's a security hole that leaves specific Exynos devices vulnerable to malicious apps because any app can gain root access without permission. Which is good... and bad. In this case... the apk can root your device and fix the security hole.
Use that if you don't want to unlock and just want to mod the multiwindow. If you want to unlock the bootloader as well so you can flash custom ROMs, use Adam Outler's method to root and unlock here
Adams procedure on unlock and root worked flawless for me and took less than 5 minutes.
And the whole stock rom is best and every other rom has bugs. Well you have ran eclipse before so you know that is not true. These great devs put in a lot of hard work to make these devices even better than what they are stock. Isnt that the whole point of getting an android? I have yet to find a bug yet with this cleanrom 3.5

I totally agree without these devs none of this would be possible. Kinda curious with this .APK root can you flash roms, and if I want to unlock bootloader would I just download the EZ-UNLOCK from the Google Play Store after I root.

You can only flash ROMs when you unlock the bootloader.
If you want to do this you would follow the guide here:

The files needed, written instructions, and even a video guide are included in the first post.

So what is EZ-Unlock app in Google play store
Anyone been able to get this going on 4.3? I thought it was spose to work on 4.3 up. But while I get the audio history etc settings, I'm not getting the extra two related to using it from any screen and from the lockscreen. I've switched to US English. It all worked fine on my N7. Just wondering...

You're not the only one. I've been searching daily and trying different things to see if I could get it to kick in. I tried tricks that people have posted but I'm just like you. I get the Audio History settings but not the additional settings in the OK Google detection area. I went as far as wiping my phone and starting from scratch just to see. Still no luck. I am rooted and am using a different phone running 4.4.3 but the same results. My wife is purely stock and her situation is identical to ours. Bummer

Bump.
I have the Galaxy S3 T999, stock, not rooted, Jelly Bean 4.3, Google search 3.5+, Play services 5+. Audio History is on. I've tried searching OK Google Everywhere and Unleash the Google. I factory reset my phone, and didn't use any data restore programs at all. Play services auto updated, and I updated my Google Search app. STILL no luck. Re-searched the OK Google Everywhere and the Unleash the Google phrases.
Nothing doing. Can somebody help us figure out what's going on?
And here I thought it was just me... I'm glad I found this thread. I was able to get it to work on my stock N7 with 4.4 but can't on my stock Galaxy S4 or stock Galaxy Tab 2 7", both running 4.3...
It's pretty disappointing. I checked a friend's phone who has the same exact phone and software as me but she has the OK Google everywhere option. Oh well I'll sit here and cry with you guys until something magically changes.
Fortunately for me I FINALLY have this activated. Turns out that the problem for me personally was due to the ROM that I am running. I'm rooted so if anyone here is I would advise you to check out this link because it fixed it for me right way. Good luck everyone.

Hey ccw, could you let us know what phone you have, and what rom and Android version you are running?
I reinstalled archiport beta and immediately got ok google everywhere available. 4.3 is more stable for me, but if use this feature enough to wanna put up with a less stable rom. Has anyone on stock 4.3 tried the method ccw linked?

I've just tried it myself, switching back to stock 4.3 after archiport 4.4 beta was getting unstable. Unfortunately this method didn't work, and I think it's a 4.3 thing. Bugger that, as if really use this feature, but am not quite prepared to get a new phone yet. There is an xposed module to get this kinda working, but again just for 4.4.

My wife is on stock 4.3 and she doesn't have the feature either so you could be right. I wish you the best of luck because I truly feel your frustration. If it makes you feel any better though now that I actually have it I only use it to goof around and that's becoming less and less. My family is sick and tired of me saying "Ok Google" every 10 minutes.
