The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has been a popular handset with both owners and developers. It will get an update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2 but we have no idea when. However if you don't want to hang around and wait for it then you can update now with a custom ROM.
You can update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2 if you own the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 international version. The ROM is available for the AT&T Galaxy Note 2, Verizon Galaxy Note 2, Sprint Galaxy Note 2 and the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, but your handset will have to be rooted.
You will need to ensure that you have about 70% left on the battery on your device.
You should turn off the security apps on the handset and the computer.
Go into Settings – application development and USB debugging and ensure that this has been enabled.
You will also have to have ClockworkMod installed on your device.
To install the ROM follow the steps that are outlined below.
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." 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 will now have Jelly Bean 4.2 installed on your device and you will be able to enjoy all the things that come by way of Paranoid Android, AOKP and Cyanogen.
