The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 happens to be one of the most popular of all the Android devices and it has won the hearts of developers too. It will get an update to Jelly Bean 4.2, however we have no idea when. So if you wish to go ahead and install Jelly Bean 4.2 you can, thanks to custom ROMs.
Bear in mind that care has to be taken when installed a custom ROM.
You should check out the following before rushing to install the ROM.
This only works with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 international version, this is the AT&T Galaxy Note 2, Verizon Galaxy Note 2, Sprint Galaxy Note 2 and the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, the device needs to be rooted of course.
You should have 70% battery power left on the handset and this is needed to make sure that the battery doesn't die while installing.
You will need to make a back-up of the handset and turn off security on the device and the computer.
Go to Settings – Application Development and USB Debugging and make sure that this has been enabled.
Make sure that ClockworkMod has been installed and download the ROM you want to install onto the computer.
Follow the steps below to install the ROM onto your handset.
1. Install the Samsung USB drivers on your computer.
2. Connect your Galaxy Note 2 to the computer then copy the appropriate custom ROM and the Google Apps package on the SD card of your device.
3. Switch off the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and reboot it into Recovery mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume up + Volume down + Power keys after the device turned off.
4. Create a nAndroid backup for your current ROM which you can restore later if something goes wrong. Select "backup and restore > backup." You can select "restore" if you decided to revert back to your current ROM.
5. In the main menu, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition." After that, go back and select "advanced > wipe Dalvik cache."
6. Go back to the main menu and select "install zip from SD card > choose zip from SD card." Choose the custom ROM zip file you have copied on your Galaxy Note and confirm installation. Do the same with the Google Apps package.
7. Once the installation is complete, go back to the main menu and select "reboot system now."
8. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will reboot and may take up to 5 minutes to complete the first run of the latest ROM.
You should now have Jelly Bean 4.2.2 installed on your handset and you should be able to enjoy everything that comes with AOKP, CyanogenMod and ParanoidAndroid.
