Can anyone suggest a Note II ROM that is as clean/unbloated/stock-like as possible while still maintaing the S-Pen features?

Is 4.3 still only available in the US for Sprint? Nowhere else? I live in Asia and still can't get it officially.

Latest CM Nightly finally brought KitKat (4.4.1, specifically) to my VZW Note II. Did a factory reset and installed with the latest GApps, and it runs amazingly well. Not had a single crash, and things seem much faster and more responsive.
Really impressed.

Woke up phone was at 11%, turned it off and charged for like 2 minutes and it was 55%. *shrugs*

I discovered what was causing the severe slowdown and lag on my phone, it was Swype keyboard. I switched to Samsung's and it's been fine for days.
But I need my Swype (and I paid for it) but it was completely crippling my phone for some reason. I guess I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

Anyone running the latest CM11 Nightly, and managed to disable the hardware buttons and turn on the onscreen buttons? I can't find where to make that change in Settings.

Why would you want to give up screen for buttons when you have hardware ones?

how else can you know how to hide the keyboard?
Naked Snake

Not sure what you're asking or what does having software buttons has to do with hiding the keyboard... But I do sometimes need to hide the keyboard (especially on gaf when quoting a long post and trying to write a reply to it; what I'm writing becomes hidden behind the keyboard)... Swype allows you to hide the keyboard with a quick gesture and I really miss that feature, but Swype becomes a laggy mess on my phone so I stopped using it. Wish there was a universal way to do it.
Edit: I might have just found it, tapping anywhere outside of text boxes hides the keyboard... d'oh.

Anyone know of a good Waterproof case for the Note 2, preferably with an armband? I mean something that would protect the phone if it gets submersed underwater for a short while.

Any idea how much longer til we get KitKat on att? Touchwiz is kinda slow. I know this phone can be faster.
Is cyanogenmod buggy on the note 2? It was pretty buggy on the gs3.

I've been incredibly happy with CM11 on my Note II. Can't think of any bugs that I'm currently dealing with.
The camera is pretty bad, though.
