Glad you waited? I've been running 4.04 for weeks and still updated via Kies today. What was the benefit of waiting?

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.

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.

Does the dump include the modem? We desperately needed the modem to be ported to the international versions (I-9200 and I-9205). HSPA+ signals are very inconsistent and I believe porting the modem from the AT&T version will help us a lot.

You would ideally need a new stock Rom which includes the modem.

No roms will work, if ever, on this device because it has been "protected" by Att from running unsigned boot and recovery images.

It's just a matter of time. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that of all the millions and millions of android phones that ATT sells......why would they decide to lock this ONE phone? Just not logical....the Intl model can be rooted...I feel strongly this one can also.

Note 3 rom for note 2?

Any devs thinking of the possibility to make things with the new note 3 such as, the spen features work(ACTION MEMO, SCRAPBOOK,ETC) on our older note2's? It looks like the snote refresh is more user friendly to everyday actions. The rest is still ok, for me anyway. But I would rather donate than spend $700 for a new phone. Thoughts?

Yes, although it'd be best just to flash the 4.3 stock ROM that our devs release, when it becomes available, so you'll stay unlocked and rooted because they may not be able to unlock any new updates.
