Why/background if you are interested:
I have been using the LG G3 for about a year and my wife dropped hers in the water so I'm getting the note up and running, it got me thinking about updating from CM10.1.3 to 11 or 12. I didn't see anything great from 11 to 12.1 on my G3, couple lock screen options etc simple stuff, however I have to cycle the data toggle every so often to get data working, the loss of bluetooth was a deal breaker and required 12.1, but I digress.
The heart of the question:
on CM's website I see there is a snapshot (not going for nightly, but, also it's not stable) for both 11 and 12. In your opinion what do you think about cm11 or cm 12.1 on the note 2. The snapshot worked pretty well on the G3. Are they stable enough for you? worth it? Many benefits? Blown out of the water? Side notes - I won't use full screen casting (I have an android box), I will use pandora/etc music apps with the chromecast option to our stereo some mornings, I don't care how my lock screen looks or functions (I turned them off on my G3).
Thoughts about security and oudated apps:
[/U] Issues I foresee if I stay on cm10 - security - stagefright exploit, if apps are changed and I don't update my apps and errors occur or some stuff might get outdated and just stop working and require an update to use it, on that note I see my navionics app stopped working and won't load/initialize. My LG G3 kept loosing bluetooth in Pandora and Soundcloud after they were updated, I fixed it by moving to cm12.1. I turned off auto update to avoid this on the note 2 with apps
What baseband is needed?
I never did an OTA update when I got it. I rooted the note 2 the day I got it, but I can't remember what build it was on, I'm on baseband VRAMC3. Lastly I had to update the oem software on the LG to get a newer baseband for cm12.1. TWRP wouldn't even flash cm12 until I updated. Do I need to do anything similar for the note 2, or can I flash from 10 to 12? [/B
