Galaxy Note 10.1 Gets Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean with JellyNote ROM [How to Install]

Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 has been sidelined for quite a long time, and deprived of regular Android updates from both official channels and custom ROM developers. It's a bit of a shocker that Samsung's flagship tablet failed to receive any Jelly Bean updates until now.

With due credit to XDA Developers member, darkthug420, Galaxy Note GT-N8000 finally joins the Jelly Bean party with the release of Android 4.1.1 JellyNote ROM. The ROM is, however, still in beta stage and represents the debut release of Jelly Bean platform for the tablet.

All bloatware apps have been removed and the stock TouchWiz UI is diligently replaced by GO Launcher HD with this ROM. Further, the ROM is deodexed, zipaligned, rooted and BusyBox'd to give you the utmost pleasure with the latest Android experience. It must be noted that the ROM is fully functional with the Wi-Fi-only variant - the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 - as well.
