I was on MJ9 (got it early OTA before they halted) and got a 28Mb "mini" upgrade OTA to go to MK2. So far I see no issues, and it cleared up some of the bugs I had with MJ9, like security messages popping up whenever I toggled WIFI. Seems very smooth on nova. Maybe not that noticable vs MF3...

I got the update OTA friday before they halted. Only issue I've seen is the knox security warning coming up every time I toggle on wifi. Other than that nothing's been noticeable enough for me to see a real difference. Not rooted, btw.

I really like this one too. I used his AOKP on my s2, but for now on my s4 i've just been using stock apps until i decide whether or not any of the sammy s/w features (esp camera) are helpful enough to keep for a while.

If you want some spoon fed how-to vids starting from stock phone to root / loki / rom install, you might try galaxys4root.com. I haven't looked through all and can't vouch whether it's all accurate or best approach, but might help get u more up to speed and then better understand the various OP...

I just got this spigen slim case from amazon and I really like it on the phone. They have a smooth back version that's apparently more slippery that I've seen other folks post; this version is supposed to be non-slip. The texture's not really grippy -- just not slippery. Have to say I prefer...

I downloaded the ICS keyboard from the play store and loaded that. Autocorrect seems to work fine. I always liked that keyboard anyway.

Hope that works for you. I had same guess as DaveyBB, as there seemed to be the two versions posted and some confusion about gapps after first load. I have been running the 5/9 i777 update along with 5/8 gapps and it's been running great. I did a full wipe, but I also ran first just with...

Sweet -- probably going to get one today. I just have to make sure I can apply the upgrade eligibility across a different line without a problem. BTW I'd get black anyway as 1st choice. Maybe I should start a separate thread, but wondering with all the feedback on lagginess or lack thereof if...

I have another Q&A regarding use of this ROM that I'm wondering if folks have known answers about (sorry in advance that I couldn't find / validate a clear reason tied to this ROM or to 4.2 vs 4.1 generally via search). This is not really a big issue for me, but it would be great to know if...

Probably black too; I've always liked simple black phones. But I'll have to hold them both in the store first to decide.

There a lot of new android phones coming out in the next few months (supposedly). Galaxy S4, htc one, etc. And a lot of nice ROMs for the S2 to tide you over for a couple months, and google play music works pretty well. Just saying might be worth holding out a month or two to see what comes...

LIkewise, I've been using ROM manager since November to boot into recovery, and I thought that's how I was supposed to do it. It all makes sense to me now, because every time I tried to load an update it didn't work the first time. Then my phone would cycle around and I'd find a way to get back...

I've been using this one since I got my phone. Also very happy. Has some nicks and cuts but rather that than scratched glass.
