Is My Note2 a legit Note2

[Celph Concepts]

As the title states, i'm trying to figure out if my galaxy note is legit, or one of those beautiful clones lol.

bought it [well traded] on craigslist [red flag?]. one thing that caught me off guard is that i dont get access to change the lockscreen wallpaper. when i go to settings i have to go to display > wallpaper and no option is given to change the lockcreen. [the homescreen changes no problem but the lockscreen stays the same].

i use the play store and also airdroid. when connected, it comes up as a "Samsung GT-N7100."

so basically i'm asking, is this actually a galaxy note? and if so, any idea on why i can't change my lockscreen?

i know it'd be soo much easier if i could upload pictures but with me being a noob, it won't let me

If you go to Settings > About Phone, what model Number shows? Mine says SCHI605.

Also on Settings > Display > Wallpaper, I have three options
Home screen
Lock screen
Home and lock screens

Yeah there is a setting to change either screens or both at the same time.

The model numbers vary by carrier.

I think OP got the international version of the Note 2 based on the model number.

Can it be flashed with custom roms? Sorry for the question but I am really curious.

I was reading it can't be, usually they don't have the same chipsets and such, but idk really.

Well okay thanks. Unless some developers actually made roms for this phone, but really unlikely.

It is pretty much a different android phone that just looks like a Note 2. Unless somehow they manage to use all the same parts (radio, cpu, etc...) I doubt that you could flash it with a Note 2 ROM.

I don't mean Note 2 Roms. I mean just any roms like those unofficial Cyanogenmod roms made by other people.
