If you don't plan on ever flashing another rom again sure. I would say never take any OTA. You can flash the ME7 stock rooted build while still on MDK and still keep your device unlocked. Why someone would take the OTA knowing it will lock their device is beyond me.
I guess it's worth taking if it does something a custom ROM can't give you which isn't very likely. For me it's never worth losing custom recovery... period. That is like asking is a phone worth giving up unlimited data for... nope!

We just have to be patient. I personally donated to two developers in order to help the cause. I bet less than a week we'll have root, like the other variants.
Fingers crossed.

One day it will work fine and the next day it will keep dropping the connection constantly.

Does anyone have a copy of those system apps that get deleted when unlocking the phone bootloader? I accidentally deleted them with the app removal wizard in the storage settings, and i don't wanna screw up the ability to install updates when they arrive. :'( would a factory reset fix this? I am not rooted or bootloader unlocked, I just removed the apps by mistake. Can't believe I made such a noob move after being here so long, lol. Can anyone help?

did you disable them or uninstall them. You have to be unlocked / rooted to uninstall them. It sounds like you just disabled them. If this is the case, go to the bottom of the all app list and you will see disabled apps. A factory reset will fix it as well.

No you aren't flashing a rom you are just taking the APK's for the apps you said you uninstalled and installing them again. You said you uninstalled some apps that you want back right? so getting those apps from the Stock base Rom you will be able to reinstall them.

AGREED.
I'm hoping someone can do the Tethering Entitlement hack. I did some looking into and it should just be deleting the check under /res/values/array.xml in framework-res.apk. I already decompiled and recompiled with the fix but I can't figure out how to replace the framework without a boot loop.

Not stock rooted, just stock. The mj4 .tar through ODIN. You can use kingofroot to get root back and you should have hotspot like everyone else.

i have the same problem!!! so crazy i bought note 3 brand spanking new and it was missing the native hotspot! 1st thing i did was flash back stock mj4 via odin and nothing and from there just like OP ive tried flashing everything i can think of to no avail
OP did you find a solution?
I really love the scheduled messaging option that @sbreen94 re-enabled in Hyperdrive rs15, but that disappeared in rs17, so I added it.
This is my first time modding an apk and was it frustrating. Realized that I had to use the stock framework-res and twframework-res, then came the signing an apk. I also had problems using apktool at first. I ended up having to download apktool2, manually configure java through the Linux terminal, and etc. I can now do this in like 2 minutes now, though!
I did take the apk from the Hypderdrive RS17, which is based on KK. I'm not sure if it'll work with all KK or only Hyperdrive. Let me know, although I don't know enough to fix it.
Change the permissions to 0644 and move under /system/app or /system/priv-app/ (depends on the Rom)

Yeah. Relace the SecMms.apk with this version. When you open the app it asks if you want it to be your default.
I'm not sure what ROM or Android version you're on, but my settings app (just got done modding it too lol) has a Default Messaing App option under More Data Options.

Alright. Let me know. I installed it on a friend's phone and it worked fine. I'm working on changing the package name so that I can give it to people without having to have a rooted device, but that's a bit confusing because I'm having to decompile the app. If anyone sees this and wants to shoot me a link or what to edit then I'm all up for it. I edited the .yml and the Android Manifest file.

Not decompiling the app. That's not confusing. The confusing part is trying to find everything I need to change and what files to copy over to the original after I change them.
