Does anyone care about the Vetizon OTA 4.2.2 update

[bjrosen]

Wondering if anyone is going to bother installing the Verizon OTA which is coming out today? I've been running the CyanogenMod 4.2.2 for months so I'm not sure there is any benefit in switching back to a stock ROM..

My phone is stock, so I care.

(Yes, I know how to root, no, I don't feel like it).

I care. I run rooted stock instead of buggy roms. I hate flashing roms and wiping my phone, redownloading apps and logging back into each one. I use a password saving app that stores all of them and I hate losing things like this when I wipe. I love vanilla android stock just the way it is with a few tweaks here and there from rooting. I am really looking forward to being able to do photospheres and using dashclock.

I would switch back just because it's probably REALLY smooth and stable I can't loose emojis (haha) and the customization. I'm running AOKP build 4 and I love how much you can do when your rooted

Nope flashed the leak a while ago

Getting any reboots with the leak? I had to go back to 4.0.4 because the restarts/reboots were just too much.

Nope no reboots. Works perfect. Much more stable then the stock 4.1.1 jb

Having it this whole time on my Nexus 10 made me not care, but when it showed up as available on the GN, it's not like I was going to turn it down.
Stock android FTW. Exactly as Google intended it.

already have it on my Nexus 7 but yes I certainly will download it to my phone. I. should not have flash roms to this phone.

there are some enhancements in this upgrade but none of them are absolutely required but the new camera functionality is welcome

well I will see what happens when it happens.

Has anyone noticed any differences between the stock 4.2.2 and a custom 4.2.2? I've loaded a lot of CyanogenMod nightlys and with the exception of a single build I've had no problems. There will likely be another point release shortly which Verizon will delay for months and god know how long Verizon will delay Key Lime Pie when it comes out. I figure its simple to stick with Cyanogen rather than switch back to root for a few weeks.

I kind of wish I had waited to upgrade rather than install as soon as I was notified. I'm really not happy with this release. Bluetooth audio quality is a major issue for me as well as the major lag. A shame really that it has these issues considering how long it took for us to get it.

I've never rooted a phone before and don't know much about it. It would be great to just modify the few things I need and leave everything else as is.

My device is as stock as it gets; rooting seems like more trouble than its worth -- I care quite a bit.

I got the OTA update today and it fails every time I try it. I wiped the phone three separate times and each time it crashes to the Dead android screen with the red warning symbo,l half way through. The phone was previously unlocked to install the 4.1.1 leak late last summer / fall, maybe this is the problem? But I did get the OTA notice. The kernel and radio #s were identical to the other two nexuses in my family prior to their upgrades today. After the 2nd falconry reset, I re-locked the boot-loader and went back to stock recovery. but it still failed. Oddly, when i tried to install the Leaked version of 4.2.2. that hit a few weeks ago, it crashed to the same screen each time. Any ideas? Verizon said they would send me a Factory refurb and Samsung wants the phone for 10-14 days to "Repair" it. I'm open to any suggestion other then a custom ROM, I went that route with my old ERIS and don't want the Agg of "Updating" my phone every few days to fix what the previous version broke.

It is really worth it to root if only to install those apps that require root.

DId you wipe everything? 4.2.2 supports multiple user account which requires that everything be moved to a subdirectory. When I first tried to install a 4.2.2 it would hang on the boot screen because it didn't handle the data movement properly. I restored to factory state and then I install ROM Manager and installed CynaogenMod and told it to wipe the data and the cache, that worked fine. I've been using Cyanogen Nightlys and as long as I alwasy do the wipe it always works.

BTW if you use universal toolkit to restore to stock it will probably install the latest 4.2.2 for you. I haven't tried it lately but in the past it always grabbed the latest stock image so I assume that means that it will install the stock 4.2.2
