Flashing different custom roms

Ellcnlael said:

I am waiting on a note 2 to arrive in the mail. It's rooted on stock 4.1.2. I have a few questions before I start tinkering with it when it gets here. I really would like to keep all of the spen features, so I have determined it's best to stay with a TW based ROM. If I flash a 4.3 tw ROM and don't like it or find it unstable, is it possible to flash back to a stock 4.1.2? From what I've read it is.

The only thing I don't want to do is an ota 4.4 update correct? This would unroot and lock boatloader?

Is there a certain rom anyone would suggest a noob to start with?

Awesome, it just come in the mail. It's in great shape, and I have verified that it is rooted and running 4.1.2. During my setup, it keeps wanting to download the ota from Verizon. I force stopped it and was able to catch it before it downloaded.

Is there a way to keep Verizon from pushing uupdates or it being downloaded in the background?

EDIT: ok maybe I figured this out. I followed the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2112221&page=4
I installed titanium backup, backedup sdm1.0, then uninstalled it. Is this what the majority is doing to safeguard against a forced update?
