Lol I think he was too excited that he forgot to mention his first impression. He probably said them outloud with out typing anything lol

Maybe Verizon LTE dropped on him.

Swype beta ftw! I'm going to try to keep everything in stock as possible for a while when I get the phone, but I'm sure I'll end up back on Swype beta, and Nova or Holo launcher. The only thing really wanting me to try and keep the stock keyboard is the one handed feature...but I have a flygrip so I don't think one handed use will be an issue at all.

emailed and added you to gtalk. at work and can work on this now with you

Came across this very creative use of Note II:
http://youtu.be/JUS-hHhbzxA

Wife got it about an hour ago! She loves it.

Exchanged the Droid DNA for the Note II. I'll miss the 1080p and the PPI but overall I'm satisfied with it.

If that is true it would be great, but the message is a bit premature.
There are no signs of the soak test even being conducted yet (at least I haven't seen any yet)

Well, it only said "soon" and that is not a specific date or time, "soon" is relative. "Soon" could mean next week or even next month.
Got it too
I just got the same text message on my DROID RAZR and I assume that now we just continue to play the waiting game until the update is actually pushed -_-

No, actually he joined in 2010 and waited 2 years just to say this.
Haha wow, I didn't even see that. I've been so used to the ICS troll threads I saw his post count and was like...really?! He had some serious foresight though, seeing this thread 2 years in advance, and knowing that THIS, right here, would be his time to finally come out and say something.

You, are a tool.
If this is serious, no IM client built in? Seems strange. I know when I had my Gnex it had an IM client. I assumed it was built into ICS.

No benefit to waiting, he may just be a "stock" kind of guy. However, I could care less about the actual stock OS, I am just glad that junk was released so the source will follow. That's what everyone around here is actually excited about.

What ROM should I install before selling?

My upgrade happens on the 26th and I'm counting down the hours before I can dump this craptacular device.
I'm rooted, natch, and running twisted's ICS.
What should I stick on it when I sell? Should I unroot it?
And where have you guys had the best luck selling?
The slacka$$ in me wants to just stick something stable like Thundershed on it and call it a day.
Well really depends on if the person you are selling it to really wants it rooted right ?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
In general, I would put the newest official GB release on and leave it rooted.
Swappa is the one place i hear good things about as for selling a phone.
Honestly I would just leave it as is and sell it on swappa. I've seen a lot of phones sold on there with cm roms installed.

Thanks. Just bought a Note 2. Good luck with your builds for this phone from hell. NuSense has a ton of potential. Cosmetically it's one of the best looking ROMs I've seen.
You and disconnecktie have been a big help the last few months to me and the few dozen of us still using this damn thing.

Why pay when you can do it for free
To the op just ask the buyer what he wants done. This is what most sellers put in their description leaving it up to the buyer.

If it gets ROM-able its on. My mind is made up.
Note III is going to be lame with a leather back. I cant sport that.
I checked this out and its fast. Lots of blot to clean up.

You should check out the Free Gee guys out when you get a chance. They got a bootloader unlock/bypass on the OG and I believe the G Pro aswell.

Where the hell is our Note 3 feature package??

Why dont we have a Note 3 feature mod yet? There are 4.3 roms out for our device, I have searched for about a week now with no reason as to why we dont have the Note 3 features ported to our device yet. Maybe Im just to much of a noob to know the reason, but if anyone has any insight please clue me in.
