Guys, I am planning to buy a Galaxy note. Are any threads around here that i should read and familiarize myself with before buying one? Am noticing about the "rooting" and "mods" threads are lots around here. Do i need to root for me to be able to install cracked apps? Thanks in advance! Would appreciate any help.

Get the phone and slowly you will get familiar to it.
I hope ur talking about the rooted apps here,that would be no problem once u get easy with the handset.
Piracy is not a good thing..developers put in a lot of time and effort in their work,respect it and pay for it.
Rooting n modding is not for Cr****. Rooting is to just get extra privilege on note, for making it more customise your device.
and note, such things(Cra**/Piracy) are banned over XDA
Ok, thanks guys.. thats what i mean, the rooted apps.. But do you guys suggest to me that I should have my phone rooted, once i got my phone? Or is it just ok to leave it as is? Thanks!

The phone's great as is. If you're a newb, like I was when I bought my Note (and probably still am), I'd recommend sticking with stock for a bit until you familiarize yourself with everything your phone can do.
I bought a Note when it released in the beginning of December and I still haven't rooted my phone. Although I'm a little conservative that way.
One thread you might really want to read is the Tips and Tricks thread.
Ok, thanks for the reply again! I guess I'll just have to get one first, explore it, read the forums. Then see what happens then. How about the ROMS?

Hi and welcome to xda!
First thing's first: Are you rooted yet? You will be limited in what you can do until you root.
Here is a step by step guide to rooting 2.1.
Here is the board with all of the Hero ROM's.
It may appear daunting at first, but it's fairly straight-forward and easy to do. Just follow the directions exactly. Also, I believe there is a one-click root app around here somewhere called Androot, I believe, but I'm not sure how well it works, as I didn't use it to root. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

user7618 Thank YOU very much for the information, I greatly appreciate the help!
t12icky0, No need to be rude, it was just a question.
I'm brand new and hoping to get some advice if possible. I was able to root the phone with no problem thanks to the One Click Root Program so thank you to the Unlockr and to the thread on here.
Now, I'm not sure what to do about a custom ROM. I honestly just want to get rid of the AT&T bloatware. Other than that I have no requirements. I don't really care other than that as long as I can get rid of things that I don't want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

since you got root, to remove att junks: install root explorer from android market and uninstall each junk manually. for custom firmware search forum for clockwork recovery (rom manager from market) and read instruction on op to install. gudluck
This doesn't belong in development.

Download titanium backup which is free. It allows you to uninstall apps. Even system apps. Read and be careful. For the most part avoid all Google apps

Thank you! I appreciate the help so far.
I apologize for posting in the wrong section. I thought I was in the right place but that was my mistake.
This thread can be deleted. I was able to root it and get Cognition on it with no trouble.
Thank you to everyone involved with the development and donations will follow soon.
hey i really dont understand what is CFroot and it complications, i have a few questions if some developer or someone really knowledgeable person here can answer pls for me and all the noobs out here. and i bet ya all, even some of the really talented and well experienced people out here might also be dodged with these questions:
Q1- is the stock LPY rom safe? the one which we download from xda which is like 500 mb or something?
Q2- what is CFroot? is it harmfull to do full wipe with this?
Q3- what is my kernal in the stock rom which is 500 mb or something? i cant understand it so i attached a screen shot if u can tell me.
Q4- with this (stock rom downloaded and flashed) kernal and everything which u can see in my screen shot can i flash the CWM and root my phone safely with out and issues? can u pls for the sake of android brotherhood, give me some details? i know i can find that in many threads but as i already mentioned do this favor and explain it here for the sake of android brotherhood!
Q5- rocket rom and midnote rom are out for LPY can i flash them with no issues?
i will be really great full to the people helping cause this LPY and BRICKING issue have really been pain in my a** for a couple of days and i m really so afraid to flash without complete knowledge of things.
thanks

no i have posted in the right section and the topic is not a question! and THANKS for your help!
Loose your attitude, it wont let you go far on here. And DEV section is only for Development not Q&A which your thread clearly is. As you see the Mod has already done that. Thirdly there are plenty of places you can read about it.
Anyway...
CFroot is chainfire root and its the kernels/CWM/CFroot mixed together creating problems. No one is sure which one it is.
To make it sure its better not to do any wipes from CFroot CWM, If you want to do full wipe, use abyssnote4.2. then flash your rom on top.
Your kernel is already LPY, which is the latest one. As said above and as in Rocketrom ICS thread install it like that. You should be fine. But then again if you are not sure, then its better late than sorry..

You never posted it in general section. It was in Dev section. So dont lie. And Also We all share informations here. No one is no ones boss. So if anyone tries to be one, then people get on your back just like richie said. Anyway iam done with it.

I'm afraid you won't be able to flash that rom to your device for some reasons..
1. That rom does not exist
2. Yo gotta read hell a lot before even thinking of flashing a device unless you want to instabrick your device
Have a nice day

you don't need to undermine people's capabilities if then can flash or if they will brick their Note.
The fact that the thread is there posted with instructions on it means they know the risk and the consequences behind it. If you say they get their Note brick... then so be it. XDA is a brain pool of helpful people willing to help in anyway they can an to those individuals who presents their problems here.
That's the beauty of having a wonderful community like XDA... People helps if your willing to be helped. And besides, any custom and seasoned flashers out there would know... you can make any much sweeter in flashing and seeing a wonderful custom ROM running on your phone without taking the RISK itself. I'm sure most season devs/flashers have brick their Note at some point in their lifetime.
That's the risk in life. You can't succeed in savoring your achievements... if at some point you don't learn your mistakes and the risks behind it.
Good thing we have quite a helpful bunch of guys here willing to shell out their time in giving expertise to Noobs and members alike.

The problem, as I understand it is that people think flashing is like installing windows and adding software to it, if something goes wrong I will reinstall OS and all will be fine. Do think more then 20% knows that they can make their phone illegal without known it? Flashing and you get a corrupted efs GG then you will never know it if the flash goes well and you will not need to look up your imei! A fast example for how people can get them in trouble.
Many guides if not all are so explained that they think you know basics or leading to other posts saying do that method without informing right, thinking the other post explains everything fine because some steps are so said as everyone knows. If you have a friend who doesn't know **** about flashing let him read CM10 flashing guide and then let him flash your note, or at least to tell you what he could do step by step. Don't get me wrong it isn't only this guide but everyone because they are write for people who know some methods, so methods that are known are not listed or just get a mentioning as a simple word even a misleading one. Example they say restart the phone to recovery and not boot the phone to cwm recovery mode and then flash or wipe or whatever.
You see that there are some things that are misleading. I lost on my old ace the imei from just flashing stock roms from dbt to the Netherlands one and changing csc with *#272*imei# or something like this code cab to search now.
Sorry I could continue posting over and over other issues but atm at work and multitasking with the note to search find repost anything goes on my nerves.
Hope I got gave you a idea why I was/ I am against helping people that not even trying to read something about the thematic they are looking.

I understand what your driving at. BUT, you have to give leeway and freedom to individuals to choose and experience for themselves failures in order for them NOT to commit it again.
Sure there are a lot of misleading informations circulating around, but with proper guidance from some forerunners here, I'm sure those people having problems with can be helped not to commit the same mistakes again in the future right? You yourself have made some flaws before, but where does it lead you now? you become more wary and careful already not to make the same mistakes you've done before, right?
That is why there is a Q&A thread here... for people to ask and for people to give advice to those who are in dire need of helping.
Though I agree some people are just so stubborn to read but hey, at least we who knows better can give an angelic help to those who are trigger-flashers so that they may in turn learn from their mistakes in the future and at the same time, give their assistance to those other noobs... so pretty much it's a vicious cycle over and over again... but hey, I'm glad I am able to part my assistance to those who needs it. At the end of the day, I can sleep with a smile knowing that I have help some poor fellow irregardless where and who he might be in this world.
