As a newbie by name, I have been looking into a easy way to root my Note 2 from Verizon as they have a lame multi-window list. I tried oneclickroot after reading about but they were not able to root my device. What is your experience or option of oneclickroot, and how easy is it to find a good rom that will allow for a biggerlist of multiwindow apps. Thanks in advance.

You cant one click root because you have to unlock the boot loader. As far as roms with full multiwindow....... anything under andriod development in this forum. Original android development has no multiwindow. Also, once rooted, check in the apps thenes section for transparent multiwindow. Love it.

If you are talking about Adam Outler's one click root using casual, then keep trying as it will get you where you want to go.
Most problems come from bad drivers. Just read the thread very carefully, and you should be fine. Once you are rooted and unlocked, you can choose from several roms. Personally, I use beans, which has all apps available in multitask.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

Right now the main thing that doesn't seem to work is Calendar/setting alarms.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

I couldn't get it to work.... Musta done something wrong...
OK, I can't get it to launch links for me after searching. Anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because I removed Chrome and the LG browser?
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Any way to uninstall?

Titanium backup.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.
Has anyone had good luck with this?

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?
I along with a bunch of people have root and am just curious what are some of the things you guys are itching to do or have done right away. I figure this could be a place where we share ideas.

Removing all the bloat would probably be the number one thing people Will be doing.
But rooting allows so much more.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
1. Titanium Backup to remove bloat
2. Get Google Wallet back.
3. Get all my Tasker scripts that required root working again.
No more ads...

I installed Wallet right from the Play Store... haven't rooted my phone yet.
1. Titanium backup
2. no more ads!
3. AutomateIt (it's like Tasker) now can control app specific GPS on/off toggle.
4. I'm going to debloat the crap out of the phone
5. GMD GestureControl (get my swipe to Alt-Tab between apps back)
I almost never get a phone before it's been rooted, and in the few days that I've used the note 3 without Root, I've come to realize that rooting is pretty important in my day-to-day usage.

Are you able to pay with Wallet? I thought we could install it but the Verizon Note 3 would not allow us to pay with it.
What do you mean no ads. I have no ads now. What about DPI. Note 2 was all about 240 DPI. what's the hot DPI now.

Please take this discussion to the earlier created thread on the same topic. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481634
Not sure if its asked before, but are there any roots available after 4.4? Will I run into the problem of not being to update future OTAs? Mainly rooting only for auto hide bottom bar.
Thanks

As the title states, I have been away from the android rooting and development scene and things have changed. I have read about apps and a script that will backup bloatware apps and then remove them, how has the experiences been with these methods as opposed to using titanium back up and doing it individually? I don't care about custom rooms or the sorts just don't want the crap on the device. Thanks in advance.

NoBloat Free by TVK Development works well. Just be careful and don't delete any system apps (Android guy icon).

I want to root my Verizon s4 using the towel root method . I am running 4.4.2 and my question is do I need to factory reset before I run the root or can I just get straight to it and leave things such as nova launcher as is and root away? I'm me to this board and rooting to so I'd like my first one to go fairly smooth. Thanks Jesse
No need to do anything before beginning towelroot
Thanks that's what I was hoping to hear. Now let's get to it! Thanks. Any thing I might need to keep an eye out for before I make it rain? Thanks. Jesse

OK I downloaded towel root, root checker, and titanium backup and super su. Everything worked perfect and it does I have root access so what do you guys suggest first. What are your favorite apps that require root? I'm looking at the lmt app that has the pie for toggles looks like but I wanted your feed back in what you use the most. Thanks Jesse
