Since this will be my first time that I may root do we have anything which will make my task easier or less likelihood of goofing up?
any links to rooting will be appreciated.

I had something in a txt file because my brother is a Note II user too...Copy Paste below:
Rooting Galaxy Note II (clockworkmod touch recovery)
You would need the following three files:
1. Odin: AdF.ly - shrink your URLs and get paid!
2. CF-Auto Root: CF-Root Download
3. Touch Recovery: [CWM] Recovery v6.0.2.7 N7100 Support Android 4.2+ /CWM/ODIN/ADB versions - xda-developers
Step 1:
Enter download mode: Switch off your phone. Press vol down + home + power key & then when you see the prompt screen, press vol up key to continue and you will enter the download mode.
Step 2:
Open Odin & plug your phone via USB cable to your computer. (make sure you have all Samsung USB drivers installed).
Step 3:
Make sure only Auto Reboot is checked & all the rest are unchecked.
Step 4:
Click on PDA & then select tthe CF Root .tar file in the CF Root folder. Then click start.
You would see a blue progress bar on your phone and then a red android logo on your screen that would complete the root process.
Step 5:
Switch your phone off & enter into download mode again.
Start odin & make sure that F.Reset Time & Auto Reboot are both checked.
Also make sure that your phone is connected to your computer via the USB cable. (you would be able to see a yellow colored entry in the first com port area in Odin software).
Step 6:
Click PDA & then select recovery.tar in the ODIN-clockworkmod-touch-recovery folder that you downloaded. Now click start & wait for the entire process to get over. Your phone would restart into normal mode.
Step 7:
You are ROOTED!!
To check, switch off your phone & try to enter into recovery mode.
Press vol up + home + power key & then release power key when you see the note II logo on screen.
You should now see the clockworkmod touch recovery on your phone.
Wish you all a successful root

In my Gmail New mail notification, I get two actionable buttons, "Reply" & "Archive". Previously It was "Reply" and "Delete". Probably the update might have changed it. How to change those buttons back?

You are referring to the in app functionality, what I'm saying is I want delete button in notification itself.

there are some apps which makes the phone awake and don't let then in deep sleep. example: Facebook and few other. in order to find it u need to download better battery stats from xda. but you need to root first.

The real reason behind battery drain is not just WiFi on or off Bluetooth on Off etc. The above app let you know every wakelock which knocks your phone from sleep and let make them awake. It's the best app.

Lockscreen widgets, ART, a bit better performance, improved camera, LG's Qslide on KK is much better than that on JB.

Add: improved battery life

Can any app help me make custom widgets/shortcuts for apps and settings which don't have one?

Lockscreen widget is one hell of a feature I would miss. Others are ignorable.
