What ROM should I install before selling? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My upgrade happens on the 26th and I'm counting down the hours before I can dump this craptacular device.
I'm rooted, natch, and running twisted's ICS.
What should I stick on it when I sell? Should I unroot it?
And where have you guys had the best luck selling?
The slacka$$ in me wants to just stick something stable like Thundershed on it and call it a day.

Well really depends on if the person you are selling it to really wants it rooted right ?

In general, I would put the newest official GB release on and leave it rooted.
Swappa is the one place i hear good things about as for selling a phone.

Honestly I would just leave it as is and sell it on swappa. I've seen a lot of phones sold on there with cm roms installed.

This is what I'm going with.
I can't seem to find any working links to a stock GB. Little help?

Thanks. Just bought a Note 2. Good luck with your builds for this phone from hell. NuSense has a ton of potential. Cosmetically it's one of the best looking ROMs I've seen.
You and disconnecktie have been a big help the last few months to me and the few dozen of us still using this damn thing.

There is also a paid app in the market for the Thunderbolt that will restore your phone to its total unrooted factory state glory.

Why pay when you can do it for free
To the op just ask the buyer what he wants done. This is what most sellers put in their description leaving it up to the buyer.

I try to be patient but seriously... not only did you not search and find the dozen threads that have covered this but you couldn't even be bothered to make the effort to describe your needs and what you are looking for in a phone.
Really? This crap again? Learn to use search you bloody noob.

That's pretty mean to lie to someone just to get rid of them.
If you like signal strength and data speed, than this is the phone you want. Nexus is nice but the radio's suck. I have both, and the nexus sucks, and I flashed all the possible combo's of radio's that are out there..........

I went with the Rezound.. I had a Fascinate (Galaxy S) for two years.. P.O.S.
I'll never buy another Samsung product again. Love the rezound so far, rock solid.. great phone.

i upgraded from a droid x to the Rezound after speaking with some verizon reps about the Nexus and i am glad i went with it. Defiantly a lot more involved in terms of unlocking/rooting and flashing ROMS compared to the Droid X(IMO anyway) but it's a great phone with great hardware.

No benefit to waiting, he may just be a "stock" kind of guy. However, I could care less about the actual stock OS, I am just glad that junk was released so the source will follow. That's what everyone around here is actually excited about.

When Verizon confirms it on twitter, I'll believe it
Week of 7/24, way to pick a tuesday. HTC has said we will get it by the end of july as a soak test and then roll the rest out on august 3rdish, this upcoming friday. We will most likely see it this upcoming week or the week after barring any trouble verizon has.

I called VZW, they are retarded and have no idea about anything.
Reminds of the sign in the bar saying" Free Beer Tomorrow!"
S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
Does anyone actually give a **** anymore?
our ICS roms are great... the RIL development and being able to use AOSP/AOKP/CM9-10 are the only things i give ****s about.

Agreed. This just looks like the same chart that was "leaked" earlier this week, except for the release dates it just said "TBD". Someone probably shopped it then sent it to Android websites.

Yes, once the OTA drops, kernel source isn't too far behind, and that's always good for development.

Because people prefer OEM equipment and not betas nor any customization. Don't be ignorant.

Yeah, we do. The ota means kernel source ..kernel source means custom kernels. Custom kernels mean better ROMs.

I wish the mods would just make a rule about ICS update thread not being allowed any more.
Also ASOP is the future of our rezound and maybe Jellybean without the sense crap.
To me its funny about the constant complaint about sense but those who complain bought this phone. Hmmmm

Most people bought the phone do to the specs and not sense, we know we can come here and get a sense-less rom.

Swype beta ftw! I'm going to try to keep everything in stock as possible for a while when I get the phone, but I'm sure I'll end up back on Swype beta, and Nova or Holo launcher. The only thing really wanting me to try and keep the stock keyboard is the one handed feature...but I have a flygrip so I don't think one handed use will be an issue at all.

Came across this very creative use of Note II:

Exchanged the Droid DNA for the Note II. I'll miss the 1080p and the PPI but overall I'm satisfied with it.

Ran this ROM back when I was on the Droid 2, worked like a charm especially since it removed all the MotoBlur crap which was 100 times worse back then. Would love to see it make it's way to the Note 2!
