Hey everyone :). I'm currently using a stock Galaxy Note 2 running android 4.1.2 and I've checked for updates now and the 4.3 update is available:D. Now knowing the knox is a pain and everything, once I've updated to 4.3 it will be more of a pain to root:(...

So what I was thinking of doing is rooting now and using a custom 4.3 ROM with the Note 3 features included. Which ROMs are available with those features and which would you recommend? I do like the touchwiz and how the phone is now so I'd like to keep it like that and not install something that isn't based on touchwiz:).

The only reason for rooting will be to get those added features... Unless someone wants to recommend something I need root access for? I'm not too fussed with the backup options that require root access

Would you recommend going with the rooting option or just updating to 4.3 and leaving the phone stock? I've got warranty on the phone for another year.
 
I'm on 4.3 and I'm considering going back to 4.1.2 or something else. For one thing ping doesn't work.
