I try to be patient but seriously... not only did you not search and find the dozen threads that have covered this but you couldn't even be bothered to make the effort to describe your needs and what you are looking for in a phone.
Really? This crap again? Learn to use search you bloody noob.

That's pretty mean to lie to someone just to get rid of them.
If you like signal strength and data speed, than this is the phone you want. Nexus is nice but the radio's suck. I have both, and the nexus sucks, and I flashed all the possible combo's of radio's that are out there..........

I went with the Rezound.. I had a Fascinate (Galaxy S) for two years.. P.O.S.
I'll never buy another Samsung product again. Love the rezound so far, rock solid.. great phone.

i upgraded from a droid x to the Rezound after speaking with some verizon reps about the Nexus and i am glad i went with it. Defiantly a lot more involved in terms of unlocking/rooting and flashing ROMS compared to the Droid X(IMO anyway) but it's a great phone with great hardware.

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.

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

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Do you have any other regrets about the switch?
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.

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.

AOSP FOR MK2 IS THE MAIN POINT OF THIS DISCUSSION. STOP MENTIONING MDK
If you have an MDK S4 there are aosp ROMs available. If you aren't on MDK you're stuck with TW. I've actually seen a jump in the amount of developers in the past couple months.

And also more Devs are making ROMs generic now... Like liquid smooth. Its one file for all s4's and it detects which carrier/boot loader your phone is and installed the propper files.
This opens up many more options for the future of mdk s4 at least.. Philz recovery also has this now too so more and more are starting to use this method

Yeah I remember you saying that before, but this is exactly the situation that can happen. I would've never bought a Samsung device if I didn't love Touchwiz. Sure I run AOSP a lot, I'm on Google Edition right now, but if something happened to this phone I would be perfectly content with stock Touchwiz.
If you're going to stick on Verizon, it seems Motorola is the only company coming out with AOSP phones on this network.

They're selling for less than I purchased it on contract. Which is also a bummer. Honestly If there was some for of aosp like GPe port or a kexec method I'd really love this phone.

Indeed indeed. I'm hoping that you guys will be successful.
If only bypassing the whole locked os was possible and just booting from an SD card (like the HD2), or kinda like what they did on the touchpad.
Just re-write the whole system. Seems like that would be just as easy.

Unfortunately I cant find the right resistor to short to start the boot from SD process, though im still looking. The boot from SD is being tested on the note 3 today by some others so we'll see how that goes and go from there I guess.
I wish Samsung was as helpful as HP was with the touchpad, well that and a device was found with android already on it to help jumpstart that process.

The S5 is even more pointless if you ask me. It's going to come even more locked down than these s4's
Sure people will work hard at finding exploits but its not going to be any easier. Its getting to the point where more an more people will jump ship over to Sprint where you can still unlock the bootloaders.
So what if Knox gets mad and keeps telling you in tiny yellow and red letters during each reboot.

That's a joke right sprint?
People will jump to Tmobile. Unlockable and actually decent and fast service.
Granted the S5 (on vzw and att) will come more locked than the S4 but people (dan rosenberg or someone else) will initially come onboard and find a 2nd init or kexec method. Also vz has the most coverage around the US.
