Here's the link in case anybody's interested. It looks like its just the feature, no other fixes listed and no change-log
Thanks for posting the link, I would have posted it but am unable to post links yet. I wonder if this might mean an update for Canadian carriers such as Rogers, Bell, and Telus will be in order soon as well?
Expecting that I'll have to unfreeze the bloat at a minimum...

Why would you be rooted and not already running multiview?

Some people want root and don't want custom roms that break stuff. I used to be a rom flashing whore but now i just root and de-bloat the stock rom.

Same here just got my note 2 three a days ago then i rooted it on 2nd day, hope when it will not broke the root capabilities when updating that was expected on dec. 27..
Thread stuck
I've stuck this for a bit, until the hubbub dies down. From what I've read, if you're just rooted but have stock recovery, non modified status, and no flash counter set at 1 you should be able to get the OTA. We'll see. I'm rooted and have only disabled the bloat. TriangleAway did a good job of resetting the counter. I have no burning desire to flash another ROM, just root and debloat. I suppose I should switch back to Touchwhiz until after the update....

That's weird I am rooted (with ExynosAbuse) and none of the status's have been touched, not even the ugly yellow triangle at boot. Of course stock recover . See for you'r self:
Somebody please post when they receive the OTA. I want to try at 12 like staying awake looking for santa. Is there anyway to reset the 24hr wait on the OTA checkermadeal? :ther than telling me to use kies.

Ya. Go to date and time. Un check network provided values. Change the day to one day ahead.

I've noticed that Engadget often trumpets dubious software-delivery rumors as facts in an apparent quest for page hits. Here, they post an email "from AT&T", but they don't say who exactly sent it. Some low-level customer service rep, perhaps? It would be very odd for AT&T to announce this news only to Engadget, but Engadget is the only source so far (not counting the sites that are just repeating Engadget's claim).
I hope Engadget got it right this time, but until someone confirms the OTA update, I'm highly skeptical.

10Ok, guys, go blow up my Mediafire account. update.zip. I used the /cache method and stock recovery, didn't wipe my phone but did break root; you are welcome to CWM it in Recovery, but it will wipe. Enjoy it while it lasts86

I was able to update my phone with the file that plastikman187 posted. Here's what I did.
0. Root phone with exynos exploit apk.
1. Download the file onto your phone
2. rename it from a .cfg to a .zip (not sure if this is necessary)
3. Use some sort of root file explorer to copy the zip file into the /cache directory. (I used es file explorer with root privaledges).
4. Boot phone into recovery mode by powering off and then holding (vol up + power + home)
5. Choose the apply update via cache option and select the downloaded zip.
6. Some terminal crap will spew out and eventually the phone will restart.
7. Let it boot and soon you'll see the "android is upgrading"
I can confirm that multiwindows works after forcing the update. The flash counter is not modified by rooting and applying the update.
Good luck everyone and enjoy your multiwindows updates. Also screw ATT for making me wait while my girlfriend brags about chatting and watching movies simultaneously.
