New to the Note on Verizon - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

What's up guys, i just switched from an e4gt on sprint to a Note 2 on Verizon, and i got to looking, I'm on software Verizon 4.1.1 and when I go to software update my only option is to install deferred sw ? I plan on rooting this thing eventually so i didn't want to install it if it would create problems trying to root it later on down the road. Thanks in advance

That's to go to the L4 update which re-locks the bootloader. You can unlock both, but I'd recommend just rooting and unlocking it now because it'd be easier.
By the way, I came up from the E4GT as well Welcome brother!

Might want to read the very 1st post in this section... it is pinned.

Well I took the update and unlocking and rooting took like 5 minutes or maybe less.
But I will say there were a LOT of people that had a LOT of problems unlocking and rooting.

I rooted and unlocked after the update. Whe and if you have rooted, i would check out the Paranoid Android 3.0 ROM.

3rd party Download Apps

I was just downloading beans3 and noticed I have zero details about the current download other than a percentage of completion in the drop down menu.
Is there a way to see more details or does anyone recommend a free download app to see more details such as speed, time remaining, time elapsed, ect...
Unlocked, rooted, running bean2 currently, nova launcher
Thanks!

I would be interested as well. The only one I've seen different is on my old HTC Incredible

[Q] Roms etc. Help

I recently purchased the galaxy s3 and am quite happy with it, put adw launcher pro made a few tweaks got the jellybean update and am satisfied with everything it does.
My question is what is the need for flashing new Roms or rooting the device? What is the purpose and benefits?
I'm new to all of this and would love some briefing!

You would be better off asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708
This forum is for International Galaxy S3 I9300, not I535 Verizon. Anything you do from these forums can brick your device. Good luck and welcome aboard!
I appreciate the reply, I tried re posting this post on that thread but it said the forum is closed. Do not many have the samsung gs3 for Verizon?

Fact is advice or firmware from this forum may brick a phone that is not a I9300 .

tried to go to stock still have SuperUser??

Tried going back to stock. Seems like it worked but still have SU. However when I check if I'm rooted it says I'm not. When trying to go back to root I keep getting various errors. Could this be a cause of not being stock?
Did you unroot in super user?

Blink feed for GS4

Does anyone know if there is anyway to get this on the S4?
Sent from my rooted, debloated, S4 using xda premium
can't; it's part of the Sense framework.
if someone ever ported sense 5 to the gs4, yeah you'd get it..but most likely nobody is going to bother because it's such a tedious task.
Maybe see if you can do a full page flip board widget

Buy an HTC One and pretend it's an S4? As has been stated. it's not likely to happen.

Instead of spending time here, head over to the forum specific for your phone model & carrier.
In general, most samsung phones (including your model) can go back to the stock state using odin.
Do you know how to do this?

Again, go to the forum for your phone and all the answers will be laid out for you.

You do not need 10 questions to read any existing threads, or (if needed) ask a question in a Q&A forum. Questions do not belong in Development forums which is why the 10 post rule is in place.
