I'm playing with idea of just running stock rooted with the framework stuff because I don't like how much memory it takes up having to stock Rom and the custom rom on the same device at the same time. Not sure if I can put the custom rom in n the stock Rom slot without any adverse effects. I also can't find a way to get wifi tether to work on stock rooted. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

Not sure why u are thinking...on kit kat base safestrap..ROM must be installed to stock slot...no ROM slots yet . With roms like hyper drive or eclipse or echo..All blow away anything you could set up with stock. Especially battery life.

Wifi Tether works fine on stock rooted NC5.
There is a zip you need to flash listed in the original "how to upgrade to NC5" thread.
I use a stock ROM with Xposed. Works great and gives me all the custom stuff I want/need. YMMV

So I want to root my X2 so that I can use some of the free hotspot apps out there.
I have rooted and flashed a new rom onto my g-tab but am still a newby at this stuff.
Will any problems arise if I root the phone and thats it? Dont really want to flash anything new on it, im fine with the stock rom. Tried to do a search but still not really clear.
Rooting and staying with stock ROM will not cause any problems. Until DZK released CM7 Beta, GB 2.3.4 stock rooted was my daily driver. And being able to use PDA Net and other tethering apps was my biggest reason. I did use several of the tweaks as well but there is very little need for that with CM7 and tethering is included. But sure, stock rooted will work just fine.

I second this. Rooting does not mean you have to install a ROM. You will be fine.
I'll third this. Root it if you're up to it. There's more benefits to root than just flashing roms. However, once you root it, I'm willing to bet it's only a matter of time......
+1 lol it does kinda get in the blood...

I rooted and unlocked on mdk then installed a stock me7 rom only.
I like cm waaaay better than tw but still use tw Roms because I use the mhl and other Samsung specific things often.
Could I use safestrap to "multiboot" so I can use a cm rom as a daily driver and boot to tw if I want any Samsung specifics?

YOu can use multiple rom slots, but thats gonna take up a lot of space.

Right my main question I guess was can I use it even though I'm unlocked and it's meant for locked me7
Also does it allow boot into the stock so that I only have to safestrap cm

Yes, there shouldnt be any problem, and safestrap basically creates another system. So you could keep tw as your main system, and when you need to use cm, boot into it from recovery. But I HIGHLY (note the caps) recommend you keep tw as your main system, and cm as the safe system. If you use cm as your main system, if any errors occur, your kinda screwed.
I believe as of right now, the kernels in the rom slots have to be the same as the kernel on the stock side. Hash did say he was going look into finding a way for those of us on MDK to flash kernels to rom slots, but as of right now it isn't possible.

Then how did some people flash cm on a rom slot when they originally are running stock tw with stock kernel?

Since there is no current custom recovery working for MK2 can I simply rename the file to update.Zip like the old days and run it? Or will I risk a soft brick like I did trying to flash a custom recovery? My stock ROM is stupid laggy so I'd really like to OC a bit and hopefully smooth things out. I found a 4.3 based kernel (Chronic) but not sure if it's set up for OEM 4.3 or only custom ROM's. TIA for any insight.

unless your running MDK you can not flash kernels to the stock ROM. This is because the kernels wont match and will cause a brick.

plenty of discussions on what you can and can't do with S4's and custom Roms/Kernels here in these forums. The only choice you will be having and its not ready yet as its in development, will be to load safestrap and ROMS that will be compatible with it. Hashcode is porting over to the 4.3/4.4 base, the version of safestrap he developed for MEJ/MI1 users a couple of months ago. He is in the testing /development stage. I would suggest reading the safestrap threads to gain some insight in preparation of this becoming a reality.
Stock touchwiz and all, didn't flash any roms but I am rooted with unlocked bootloader. Any mod I've ever wanted, I was able to do through xposed or just flash some small file. My questions is, are there any benefits to changing roms? If so, what TW rom would you guys suggest?
ThaCh0de's CockNRom v9.2.3.1 with XBrickMyPhoneX kernel seems to do the trick for me

Woohoo! Don't loose that MDK bootloader! You're one of the lucky/smart ones that didn't take an OTA update.

Install or update TWRP with Goomanager if you're on an old recovery. Just click install openrecoveryscript, that easy.
Stock TW KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
There are lots of improvements in JB and KK, as well as a couple fixable "issues" (e.g. sd card).
You can sell it to me and then I will give you my phone, that would be the best thing for the world.
Definitely gonna keep my MDK bootloader. The funny thing that's making me want to change is the App to SD card feature in the updates.
I'll make the switch from CWM to TWRP and give stock TW KK a shot. Are there any GS5 ROMs for us? I feel so out of it lol.
I've been flashing since the OG Droid and had close to 10 rooted phones but after getting my GS4 and having everything working perfect(including the mods, I.e. WiFi Ap), I just left it

I'd use Flashify from the Play Store to update to a new recovery. Using Goo or ROM Manager can lead to possibly having to Odin back to stock and start fresh... Couldn't tell you exactly why but it's happened to a few of us including me.
Also... Go for a ROM like C ROM, Mahdi, or Liquid Smooth... Ditch TW

I too have MDK so.... :highfive:! I am running Hyperdrive RLS 15 and it runs flawless. Loads of extra features if you like that sort of stuff. I used the Ktoonz Kernel with it so it comes with the KTweaker App for complete control over the kernel. Loads of battery life. Its 4.3 but if you want 4.4 then wait about a week or so and Sbreen94 will have it released (atleast that is his current time frame).
Hello guys, I have a rooted GT-I9300 on stock android 4.3 with philz touch recovery.
So I like S5 a lot, but I can't afford one obviously. However, I would like to flash S5 stuffs like launcher and accuweather widget on this device. I've been struggling for some time, trying to find a way to deodex the stock android 4.3 rom. I came across a few methods like the xUltimate, titanium backup and so on, but none of these methods seems to work on our beloved S3... I'm not sure whether xUltimate works for S3 but so far I never come across S3 user who successfully deodex their device using this method. Titanium backup doesn't seems to work too since it only deodex apps, not the firmware... I know I can easily do this by flashing a deodexed stock rom, but I don't really want to flash another rom yet...
I'm sorry to ask this, but I'm running out of idea, so guys, is there any way to deodex the stock android 4.3 rom so that I can install mod like S5 launcher? Thank you for your help!
Any helps guys? I really can't find a proper solution
Why not use one of the stock roms here on xda that have already been deodexed by an expert?

Odex rom seems to perform better and more battery-friendly compared to a deodexed rom. I think it would be better for me to learn how to deodex/re-odex the rom so that I can re-odex the rom after I finished installing mods to ensure the best performance.
This thread is going down any helps?
