Kernel date October 25, 2014, so no root yet, most likely. And will Safestrap 3.75 work on it once it's rooted?
Here's what the update includes according to Samsung:
Android OS upgrade (KitKat 4.4.4)
Note3 Value pack added -
Kids Mode
No kids here, so yawn.
adb, Google backup, backup apps up the ying-yang, and my phone is never more than 2 days old as far as a full ROM backup goes, so yawn.
Safety Assistance – Send Help Message
Direct dial icons on my desktop - one press for 911 and other help, so yawn.
Camera enhancement – Virtual tour
It's an app - watch for it in the Play Store, so yawn.
Free air for fish?
NO Knox or locked bootloader would make me want to switch. Another system I have to uninstall? Why would I want that?
Samsung, you're standing in a field of clues - try picking one up. They're not only free, we're shoving them down your throat. We - the people who actually
buy your phones - don't want the icing, we want the cake. If we wanted icing we'd buy iCrap.
