Rooted mine no problem. Got rid of the bloat and now I'm good.

I feel that a good touchwiz based rom will do wonders. but as is the phone is greatNo worries DroidXcon your all good. As for removing bloatware, it can be scary and I agree with DroidXcon if you are not comfortable don't do it, and some users go overboard and remove way too much and cause issues. For me I will remove the basic stuff and back them up offline storage. As for custom ROM's this time around (if/when we get the bootloader unlocked) I am not sure I would go that route, I have to agree it would defeat the purpose of having this awesome S-Pen device without the S-Pen features, but that's me.

I have to assume the dev is actually referring to putting a custom ROM on it.
Is the stock really being seen as so perfect that the device wouldn't benefit from a custom ROM? Surprising to hear that from a dev, but pretty cool if true.

Those things can be added without touchwiz so that shouldn't be a problemI wouldn't mind a custom ROM if it brings features such as reassigning the buttons (I miss holding the back button to kill the current app).
I would also like to have the clock in the center of the notification bar, and nice color themes.
Losing features of the s-pen is what concerns many people about a custom ROM.

Don't know as I never had a note 1. But you can't compare it was not as popular of a phone and I doubt devs were running out to get it. ....ill poke around later see what I findHas it been done in the past with the Note 1? Were there any AOSP ROM's that had fully functioning S Pen support?
I wasn't around the Samsung mod scenes back around that time, got into it slightly with the GNex and just again now with the Note 2. If they were able to do it with the Note 1 + AOSP maybe there's some hope for the Note 2.
As soon as its available ill write one up. I have done tons of these for the fascinate and droid charge.
Odin is Samsung software that will overwrite a partion on your phone and add whatever coding you provide.

I will be writing it up soon, its just that i didnt get my Adviser tools tonight and i have been at work. plus its going to be pretty thorough to be newb friendly so it is not going to be something i can throw together in a couple mins. ill do my best to get it up as soon as possible, Sorry for the hold up
Appreciate anything you can do for those of us that haven't done this before.
I have a pretty thorough guide written up. And a custom rom is already made by beanstown over at the xda forums. I will be including direct download link and instructions to install it. It will install same as root but with one extra step of wiping phone data. Hopefully will have it up before midnight. I still need to write iup FAQ and trouble shooting section then I can post it. I'm at work trying to write it every time my boss is not looking so it may take awhile lol.

Looking forward man. If I remember right I rooted my Thunderbolt with your tool/tutorial. Thanks for all your work!

Take your time - and again many thanks!
Well if Scott works up a CleanROM for the Note 2, I'll probably run that. He does a good job of kicking out the bloat and adding back some nice functions. I'm thinking a nice mashup of the Note 2 ROMs from all carriers would work pretty well. Or one where all apps would work in Multi-view.
Beanstown ROM is looking very nice, can't d/l this weekend due to my limited bandwidth in the country. I will try to hit up a wifi hot spot tomorrow but may just roll along and wait for Build 2, not in a big hurry anyways. Imnuts is looking to get one going as well and hopefully DroidXcon will too
