Galaxy Note 2 N7100 Gets VeinDroid ROM Based Jelly Bean Update [How to Install]

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 users are in for a double treat, as a flurry of stock ROMs and custom ROMs have embraced the Android device in recent times. The Note 2 users are in fact spoilt for choice, as the N7100 ports a capable UI, hardware and software with loads of exciting features onboard.

However, those seeking to explore beyond the stock features and UI can embrace the advanced customisation capabilities of the newest custom ROM for Jelly Bean - the VeinDroid ROM. Thanks to the XDA Developers member xator91 for developing and releasing the ROM, as it assures both fluidity and stability in one neat package.

Although the custom ROM is still in its early stages, there are apparently no bug reports by the developer yet.
