Well I'm still a noob after 5 different types of rooting and never had a problem. Not even a sarcastic remark. Then again I only go one there when I have a problem or research.
are you trying to troll TheMachine?
XDA is the best place to go, but if you ask noob questions, they act like s about it. But its usually funny.

I've never had a problem with this either. Most of the time the ones who get chastised are those who ask a question that was answered 2 pages ago (and 3 pages, and 7 pages....). Use the search button and you should be ok.
im still scared..lol..someone point me to the verizon note 2 one pls. LOL

Haha ill watch it later
So I've been really trying to learn all about the hardcore customizations aspect of Android OS lately...Kernals, Launchers, Builds, Widgets, UCCW, Bootloaders, Rooting, Flashing, Roms etc. It's so overwhelming but I think im finally figuring out. Once I do, the sky's the limit!
I'll keep you guys posted. Im just trying to have knowledge of it all before just following the video. Thanks for your help.
Good good
We'll re-evaluate your manhood in a few weeks
i'm also going to root a note 2, but then what? other than deleting the AT&T apps, what is so great about rooting? (I have no intention of putting custom roms on it, I'm sure Samsung makes a fine stock rom"
Ever heard of Google ?
Anyway.....
- You get rid of the bloatware, but evven if you dont put a custom ROM, there are other benefits
- root access: if you use another launcher, you will be able to use the TOuchwiz widgets (because using let's say - Nova launcher without rot access prevents you from using the manufacturer widgets)
- other tweaks such as using custom fonts
But also :
Bloatware
Having full access to your phone’s file system with all the admin rights means you can remove unwanted system applications, also known as bloatware, from your handset.
This level of access allows you to go through your device's system files and delete anything you no longer require. You’ll be amazed by just how much rubbish is packed in there – even more so when you consider the limited memory present on a lot of smartphones.
Ramp up the power
Rooting a device gives you the ability to overclock its processor. That means you can increase the clock speed of a 1GHz processor, in some cases, to as high as 1.6GHz, for example, which should translate into a pretty significant bump up in processing speed.
Combining overclocking with Custom ROMs can result in massive uplifts in the performance of your handset. We’ve heard reports of a Nexus S running with an overall increased performance of 250 per cent after a series of expertly implemented tweaks.
A bump of 250 per cent, we’d imagine, is rare and requires a lot of skill to achieve, but it does illustrate profoundly just what can be accomplished once your device is rooted.
It’s worth noting that a lot of top level modding such as this requires a very precise set of skill and knowledge, so we would advise anyone not comfortable with the science behind overclocking to proceed with caution. No-one wants to brick their brand new phone, after all.
Root-only applications
With a rooted device you also get access to plenty of bespoke applications, which can seriously add to the performance and utility of your handset. Here’s a selection of some notable examples:
- DroidWall
- Dual Mount SD Widget
- Hexamob Recovery Pro
- Keyboard Manager
- LEDs Hack
- Rot Call Blocker
- Samba Filesharing
- anium Backup
.
Improve Battery Life
A lot of Custom ROMs will improve your battery life via the removal of bloatware and unnecessary applications that hinder performance. There are plenty of power management apps out there, such as Superpower, but most work significantly better when combined with a finely tuned rooted handset.
Rooting can’t work miracles for your battery life, extending it beyond its natural limits, but it can ensure that you get an extra few hours a day from your device. And sometimes that’s all you really need.
Modification
Getting access to exclusive software bundles like HTC’s Beats Audio technology and Samsung’s Siri clone, S-Voice, usually requires that you purchase the latest hero device from said manufacturer.
With a rooted device this is no longer the case as you’re in charge of what software runs on your phone, not HTC and Samsung.
This means that once a hacker has extracted Beats Audio or S-Voice, a process that usually takes a couple of weeks, and posted it online you’re free to download it and run it on your rooted Android device.
Samsung, and I've owned 4 Samsung phones, makes a pretty mediocre rom. Deleting a ton of Samsung bloat, in addition to the ATT bloat, helps tremendously. I'm running a rooted, completely debloated Sammy rom and the only reason I do is to take advantage of the s-pen integration with the TW framework. I've run many custom Roms, but I've always missed the spen complete functionality that only the TouchWiz framework provides.
yup I forgot to add that; look for TW based ROMS for S-PEN features

In his defense, if he has a Note 2 and wants to retain S-Pen features, he can't really use AOSP ROMs.
This
TheMACHINE, did you man up ?
nope cuz i have a Note 2 and want to retain S-Pen features, I can't really use AOSP ROMs.
You can use Touchwiz based ROMs
Hush.
