I am bored and I want to root my desire.... BUT?

Update: attempting root, flash etc... help a brother out, lol
I keep editing my last post for problems I am finding, thx

what i've seen so far are other way round, that is rooting could make you unable to get OTA updates..
you can find rooting guides and roms in development section

To the TS, there's a good sticky in the DHD Android Dev section, the very first thread by Ivo.. u should read that.

I read somewhere that the OTA could possibly stop me from rooting my phone? Is there somewhere/something specific I should check before I make the attempt?
With the help of this forum, I did get into rooting my nexus one... and flashing often... but if someone could point me to a proper how to.... and a known solid rom/kernel....
I would appreciate it, thx in advance

Got the same setup on my DHD and it is quite responsive.
Although stock DHD is pretty much ok i.m.o.

this is quite OT, but I was wondering how come DHDs overclocked to 1.5Ghz can achieve 3k+ Quadrant scores but the G2 needs to be OCed to 1.8 or 1.9Ghz to achieve similar scores? The extra RAM of the DHD makes so much difference?

Well its a different processor, not just lower clocked.
I dont know the specs off the top of my head but i would guess it has smaller caches. That does make a difference. I doubt ram comes into it for most of the benchmarks.

thx for that, I had a brutal day at work... and then I had a very, very late "tour" at a correctional facility..... so i did not get to any of this. Hopefully tomorrow.... I absolutely love this phone and case..... my windows 7 phone came today... and wifi compared to wife.... the dhd destroys it.... not to mention... things look normal on the dhd... on the w7p, it looks like crap until you zoom in... I just wanted to try the phone for myself, lol
so for me, it all comes down to 2g vs 3g.... dhd is better has down, for many things and reasons..... but the 2g vs 3g is causing me turmoil... oh well, once I root and see the goodness... maybe it will be a much easier decision

brb almost done

Not going to lie, I had NO idea what I was doing... but I think I just stumbled through it all.....
are the kernels dangerous.... how can I test/check to see if it is worthwhile.... will they drain the battery even more so? thx

Depending what kernel and what clock speed you set, you should be able to underclock to around 700 +/- mhz and not have any noticeable slow downs.
Just make sure you set a lower speed when your screen is off and you battery will last upwards of 24 hours.

thx, I just that 1.51 one for now.... seems to be working well, I put a profile in for screen off.... dropping it to 256-756 or whatever it is! did some light benching, angry birds, no lag or issues so far.... woke up and the phone is still alive, lol
thx

No need for Root!!!

Ok please dont start flaming me, its just my opinion after all
I received my first SGSII 6 weeks ago, and as flash addict (because of my previous sgs), I started to itch and I had mucsle cramps and my mouth drooling. this was 2 weeks after
From that moment I realised that I have to start over rooting my device & then flashing it (to get my daily fix). I did my homework for 2 days (thx to the great devs and the wonderful community here) & then rooted it. the experience is easy and straight forward.
2 days after I started flashing different awesome roms, all of them r great with very solid form factor. However, my phone front speaker was not clear and after asking here i found that I need to replaced it (special thanks to JJe who is dedicated to help)
My experience
After receiving a new phone and playing with it for around 2 wk now, I was able to realise that the advantages in rooting+flashing the awesome SGSII are very marginal, in contrast to the old sgs. In fact this device has cured my addiction, for now and im having a real life again
yes, I miss titanium, CWM, the beautiful theming of the new roms, file explorer, quick reboot, gps aids and few others. Nevertheless, the device is fast, snappy with crisp experience out of the box.
My advice
1- Dont listen to people who r *****ing about the phone all the time because this phone is almost perfect but not perfect though.
2- Dont, I repeat Dont root+/-flash ur device unless u reached the point of understanding the advantages of doing so
Disclaimer :
I held no responsible what so ever if I caused u any pain by reminding u with ur addiction

But Cyanogen and Miui.

The stock Touchwiz UI has a LONG way to go to match the aesthetics and usability of MIUI or CM.

Generally pretty damn true.
But you forgot the best reason ever to root, because you can!

The advantages of rooting imho are: cwm, titanium backup, access to the conf files, adfree, and some more. I don't care about custom roms, the stock is good, you can freeze unnecessary stuff and instal other kernels or launchers.

Even still not that stable, but the usability still blows the stock ROM out of water, especially MIUI.

Root can be really nice if you know what you doing. I fully agree with the op. But again I'm sure the most people know what they are doing. My GSII is not rooted this is the first time I didn't modify the phone for my own needs.
The galaxy is perfect as it is. I miss titanium, cyanogenmod etc. Bug I have a solid os. I really don't need any root (atleast for now).
I read all the issues on xda and I must say I have none of them. No random boots I have great battery life 1 day heavy usage. I had no lag what so ever.
This phone is great as it is. I have nothing against rooting but I won't recommended to normal users

In some countries if you don't have root you can't use "market enabler" for you to update Google Maps.

this world is not about rooting only, tons of apps and upgrades r going on without the need for a root access.
however, rooting is a double edge weapon dont use it until u understand it+plus u need to watch what r installing on ur phone as they will have more access than u know

How to install MIDNOTE ICS ROM for Galaxy Note

Hi Guys,
This is my video of the tutorial to install the MIDNOTE ICS ROM onto the Galaxy Note.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1TK2LhjZwg
Hope it helps.
Ash
Hit the Thanks button if you can

Very nice tutorial! I'm debating on ICS myself.....but this Darkyrom is proving to be VERY stable with franco kernel #6.......the main thing i like about ICS is swiping programs to close them....lol

I'm using 2 weeks ago MIDNOTE version 2.0 and it works great. In my opinion the best ICS to note galaxy so far.

Will this work on i717r?
Hi there:
Great tutorial! I'm just wondering if you know if this will work on the Rogers i717r?
Thanks!

poor battery life (~5hrs)
great video tutorial ash!
followed your instructions and was able to get it up and running. i did have to dig through the original thread for how to fix the skype issue though.
just a quick question: i'm experiencing really bad battery life on the note. i'm not doing anything particularly processor or screen intensive, but i'm getting only around 5hrs before i dip down to <30%.
any tips on how to improve this? have there been any updates to this rom?
thanks.

the battery issue i was having led to a completely dead (unchargeable) battery that scared the crap out of me. i thought my note had been bricked. i'm still not sure if it's due to the ROM or just a faulty battery. i do know these batteries have some intelligence built in, but i had it go through an entire charge in about 2hrs doing nothing much.
anybody else experience insane battery depletion followed by a bricked battery?

Hi Ashwin
first of all thank u so much for ur nice video tutorial on youtube.
I have Galaxy note GT-N7000 phone which I bought in december 2011.
The reason to write u is I have some problems with my note.
1st is battery lasts only 4hrs maximum even if I keep my 3G network mode active and only email client and nimbuzz massenger keep running in background
so what I heard is rooting phone will disable company installed apps, is that true?
I got LB1 kernel version. so could u pls suggest me some links to root my phone and also advice me what apps I install on my note to get maximum battery backup with 3G connection. (but im still confuse what is custom rom which u were advising at last in ur tutorial)
you also have upgraded ur note to ICS and im interested in installing it later.
Give me a proper guidelines as im new to this android os phone. previously I was using Nokia E72.
your help will be appreciated.

If you are on stock you might get updates (tho updates might cause loss of root) but id strongly suggest using a rom like check/rocket and use the updates given by the developers... thats a lot better imo
Hope it helps

Wrong section dude. There is one section dedicated to apps and customizations for the note.
For now stay away from customized ROMs (not reccomended for newbies)

He does have a point. If you don't know what you are doing then you could easily turn your new phone into a paperweight. I would recommend you read. Read A LOT about ROMS and kernals and everything else that goes into the custom modding of your phone before you try anything. That's how i started and flashing new stuff is a walk in the park at this point.

Yeah I would stay away from flashing etc. Me being a total newbie on android and on note I'm waiting till official ice cream sandwich release and maybe start to play around with all the advanced goodies. I used iphone since day one and jailbreaking seemed pretty easy but I'm little intimidated by android stuff :/
If you must have urge to play with it try searching on this forum for step by step guide, or try http://rootgalaxynote.com/

Mate, first of all, welcome. You've got yourself one of the best pieces of kit on the market... Prepare to be amazed!
What are you after from your note?
If it's media, check out power amp for music, moboplayer for video, maildroid for email.
For basic customisation, and check out Dr ks thread for rooting and Chainfire kernal installation which will prove good for any customisation. Think it's in the stickies. Ics is awesome, but not without its problems especially installing so best check out the precursors.
Welcome dude, may you have lots of fun!

I will start to read up and explore the world of andriod. ..as i understand there will be a update ssoon.. Ics. Will the note self update or will i have to sort myself. ..also ive seen sky go working on a note but cant find it in app store( whoops) market..?
Ps love the way this phone works

If you would like stock gingerbread, flash lc1 or lc2. Im using lc2 its a very smooth fast rom with at lease one and a half days battery with normal use. But like everyone said read alot until u understand how to flash. Read how to flash lc1 or lc2 because newer roms u need to be already rooted before u can flash them and keep root.
