You will have to install TWRP recovery for Omnirom, install will fail without it.

Will I need to wipe everything if coming from CM10.2 ?, obviously I'd prefer to keep my apps intact.

yes, you'd have to use something like titanium backup to save/restore your apps.

Has anyone updated their Note 2 to 4.3? I updated mine and it kept freezing and the screen would go black and then a system error message would be displayed. I carried out a factory reset and now it appears to be behaving itself. Has anyone else had any problems with this update?

Updated mine to 4.3 a few days back and it installed 1st time and has been fine ever since

Well that's good news. Hopefully mine will be OK now. I've only installed essential apps until I know it's stable.

Ditto on that. Installed the update, proceeded (albeit slowly) and its behaved itself ever since And the battery life issue, where it would drain for unknown reasons, has been fixed as well

Shame I'm getting rid of it next month for a Nexus 5 as its a brilliant phone. Shame it doesn't support LTE or I'd keep it

 

[maddness]

same here, updated fine 1st time, and very impressed with it all around

feels like a brand new phone now, was on official 4.1.2 before this.

Any other places to get stock roms from other than Sam mobile? Need to put one on my LTE version but the download keeps freezing.

Has anyone managed to get the SMS notification to work in the same way as before? If you turn off the lock screen preview in SMS settings, you still get the same full rectangular block on the lock screen, albeit without the message context text. It's annoying to get a large rectangle simply stating that there is an SMS message from an SMS sender.

I went from 4.1.2 stock to cyanogenmod 10.2 for a while but it was still buggy with a lot of apps crashing out.
I ended up using the latest 4.3 rom (at the time) from the indian market of all places and when used with nova launcher looks and runs great as I wasnt a fan of the Samsung look on the home screen.
The only thing I miss from CM10.2 is the circular battery indicator on the top notification row.

Just got the 4.3 update through on my Vodafone handset.

I had 4.3 update on my o2 handset at the start of the week, didnt think it would get updated before I got the chance to upgrade!

Any ideas when there will be an update for the sim free version? It's rather annoying that they now hold back updates until the carriers release their own

My note 2 is sim free and I received the update a few days ago. I had to check for the update manually on the phone.
