Please explain more.... What is "mad"?? 

2moro who got go Note 2 roadshow here ?

bumper only protect the side? sometimes u know u put the phone on the table it might scratch it

I have the same thinking as well...lol

I'm happy with the stock rom because:

1. multi-toggle in the pull down menu...I love this, ever since that dev Lidroid did it for Note1, and it was built in to S3
2. reallllyyyy smooth transitions
3. overall snappiness when opening apps
4. stock keyboard is now 5 row including numeric keys. Hated the switching back and forth (alpha/number) with the previous stock kbds. I used to use Hacker's Keyboard since it emulated a full QWERTY with Fn and 4 way cursor keys as well. Now the stock kbd is 80% bearable without the need to switch.
5. Notification LED !!!! My N8 had it, found it very useful as a long range visual indicator.
6. Hot swappable sd slot
7. More ergonomic S-Pen. The updated Wacom with 1024 levels, is well, gimmicky for me but good nonetheless.
8. Built in cloud backup integration....need to test this out a bit more
9. Built in customisable lock screen (no need Go Locker or funky launchers)
10. You can chuck NFC if you are paranoid...ie just junk the cover for one with no NFC. Well, this is not ROM related but wth...

That's the top 10 for me at least for now.

I guess I would root it with stock CF only and install TiBu plus a couple of other useful root apps. If there's a viable kernel in future with good OC to make this even speedier, I'll give it a try.

One more - multi-window looks quite cool, but need a bit more time with it to see.

i like the way u said it, sounds very noob.

Chrome...sometime will lag ...i prefer stock browser
