Well after doing some reading in the past week or so, I finally decided to try a ROM for the first time and have only been rooted a couple times with it to flash some firmware to JellyBean for the german version, before it came to the U.S. So not totally inexperienced, but ROMs kind of made me nervous. Anyways after spending 9 hours last night, trying to get it set up(yeah, when I get caught up in something, don't know when to quit!lol), I finally got it working. I did root fine and then had major problems trying to get CWM Recovery onto it. It's all new to me. I was going between directions on three websites, and this youtube video, this was the problem. It said to do something that I didn't need to do and finally figured it out after a few hours. After that everything went smoothly, I didn't manage to take the phone stuff off, but I think I know what the problem was with that.
So Far, it does everything I was afraid to lose with the Update and basically, I have what feels like a cross between a new Note Pro 12.2 and the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014). Most of the features I liked that came with those. I'm using Gnabo Rom and I haven't had too much time to play with it, but seems to be okay so far. I'm loving the feel of the new features on it. So I guess I'm just afraid of change. I was afraid to lose the Cascade feature, which I don't have now, but the big thing is I can move a window around the screen and not be stuck with the side by side, like on Note 8. Don't need a floating browser for that. So I'll report back if I find any problems, but very happy I decided to update, at least for the ability to keep my apps updated. Not too many apps stock on the ROM, so not a lot of Bloat which is nice and I can add what I need from the Google Play store. Thanks to the people who mentioned in my earlier thread to just go ahead and update, it got to the point, not that I was bored with the Tablet, but having those newer features was worth doing it.
