[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Stallione:
Experiencing the 4.1.2 JellyBean on my Galaxy Note

Overall....This leaked update is JUST AWESOME!!! :victory:

I installed this firmware over my stock ICS 4.0.4 using PC Odin v3. No problems occured :fingers-crossed:

Tips and Hints:

>

After and Before

installing a firmware, do a factory reset (wipe cache/data) from recovery mode. Otherwise some times conflicts can occur with un-erased data from previous OS (causing crashes, bootloop, lagging, etc.)

>This process

will not erase

your files from USB memory and Ext.SD card, confirmed.

>This process will again make your phone

un-rooted

. But won't raise the counter (no yellow triangle)

I used it and customized for quite some time now and I dont see any upsetting matter for my daily use, at all!! :cool:

A lot of new features are available, major ones like multi-screen and more minor (but really helpful) tweaks.

Multi-screen mode

Pop-up browser

Pop-up play

Project butter in action

New taskbar with switches that can be customized (add, remove, re-arrange)

New and faster browser

Great music player with SoundAlive, Music Square, and desktop widget

Added and updated good widgets. Widgets are also available for radio and video player

Good haptic feedback, feeling-ones.

Smart stay feature

A

new 8th desk-pane

will appear, for example, when you plug your earphones! It has Music player and Video player widgets but also can be customized. (when the headset is unplugged, that pane will disappear but your arrangement of that pane is saved for the next time, dont worry. :) Its called 'Page Buddy' and is available as Earphones page, Docking page and Roaming page separately.

Bug fixes I see from

4.1.1 JB leak

USB Mass Storage mode is back and working as in ICS, which was not there in 4.1.1 leak

Pop-up browser is working for real

Text bug and Samsung keyboard malfunctions are all fixed

Photo-Editor and Polaris Office are not installed, but available for free in Samsung App Store (corresponding actions will automatically direct you to)

Things I personally like to see on it

Air-view is still not available

S-Memo is leaving, giving its way to S-Note. :crying: (its

NOT a bug

, except S-Memo, all other S-Pen apps are available and working)

App shortcuts still disappear and re-arrange if they are not in Internal Storage

Desktop image is no more swiping aside with desk-panes (still-image)

Other good features

My Files are now neatly separated as SD Card and ExtSD Card

Good Recent-app view with ability to clear the whole thing without swiping them one by one (task manager is also still linked)

Overall rating

>Pretty-much stable! I up-to-now haven't seen anything to be called as a bug (within the way I use it)

>Rarely it may get 1/6th of a second lagging, which was very smooth on 4.1.1 leak

>Great interaction with social apps like Facebook, Skype, Google Services (Google+, Talk, GMail, etc.)

>No problems occurred with Google Play or anything to me.

Battery life is Fine!

Some says its extremely bad and all, but no significant change happened to me since GingerBread>IceCream Sandwich>Jellybean. It still holds upto 24+ hrs with watching videos, 24/7 internet connected, lots of music, photo capture, moderate calls, texts, mail and other misc.

I had enough with 4.1.1 leak and downgraded back to 4.0.4 once, but I dont see myself leaving this 4.1.1 leak.

Its Great guys, I vote go for it!

:D

Hope this helped anyone to clear any doubts.

P.S. I rooted it using SuperSu from Chainfire via Clockwork Mod 6.0.1.2. (Busy box-Superuser didnt work for me) :)
