Really? Because, I honestly don't see why you wouldn't be able to like every other phone. Make sure your phone is rooted, have 2 roms, an SD card, and have Bootmanager installed. Then, whoop de do, you have a dual boot.
So you could dual boot TW and AOSP? I've never heard of this, how's it work?

You cant because of the way samsung phones handle the boot partition. Pulled from the bootmanager description.

Which makes me sad I just went and checked the app description... I bought it almost 2 years ago. What about that app that the HTC One had, the Modaco Switch or whatever to switch between sense and pure Google edition.

GE and TW have all the same inner workings. GE isn't AOSP.
So you can't flip from and AOSP ROM to TW.

Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Verizon Note 2
Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...
So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?
ba-ba-ba-BUMP.
What about integrating carrier specific apps? The Verizon version has a data usage app that works without logging into my Verizon.
I do believe that is what scrosler was doing here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055218 and he said this in the features " Verizon Patch files in a flashable zip can be found http://www.cleanroms.com/downloads/Note2/VZW Patch for 7105 Base.zip This will let the ROM think you are a VZW ROM! Good for the Play Store and APN settings! " But.... He did say he was unsure if it works on other roms in his second post. You possibly could try it. : )
Thanks. . But I'm already using his VZW rom

Any chance that Scott's patch would work on the CM10.1 nightlies for N7100? If I try it, do I risk bricking?
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2
You risk a soft brick. Just make a nandroid backup first and you'll be fine.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Just make sure you don't flash modems and keep a stock kernel on hand
Yeah since the hardware is nearly identical I think the most you would risk is a soft brick. The 7100 lacks LTE though so I'm not sureif you would have data on one of those roms. Tell us how it goes if you go through with it.

Actually went from an epic to a Photon to an S3 to a Note II and now a Note 3 Never liked CM and AOSP. There was always something lacking. Broken 4g, No call recording, just something I use that's not there. On my Note 2 I used Noteworthy and it was the best **** I've used.

Neither of you last statements are correct. The lack of development is coming from a yet to be cracked ME7 boot loader as well as a just recently released MI1 update. If you are on MDK kernel still there are quite a few roms out there for your enjoyment.

There's a healthy amount of roms available. Not to mention when some roms (like AOKP) use rootzwiki.

Eclipse TW edition. It's so good that no one comments on the thread... no bugs.
Plus the pile of AOSP-based usual suspects.
Does this need to be a thread? Go look through the forums, and try whatever you think will work best for you and try them out. If you think the development is dead then don't get the S4 or sell it for something else. What are you looking for? someone to tell you that it's not dead, you should keep your phone, better things are coming? If your satisfied with the phone and what you have on their great, if not, do whatever you feel.
The ME7 issue killed a lot of development, there's no denying it. Just look at the development forums of an S4 from a different carrier.
Although the few ROM's that are available for this device are real quality. Really we should all stop debating about it and start cooking our own ROM's.

It's you. There's a lot of development for the S4. We don't need 10 Roms that are all the basically the same. We have CM, touchwiz with plenty of tweaks, AOSP, and Google edition. Is there something I am missing?

You will need to install the kernal. Which SS does not do. Even getting it running you would have lots of issues with a 4.3 kernal.

It worked for someone on the international form I believe that he wasn't on 4.4.2 already.
EDIT:NVM I'm pretty sure I'm wrong after doing some research. You have to flash the bootloader (but don't, bad idea) Carry on.
