Android 4.2.1 leaks for the Samsung GALAXY Note

Just because the Samsung GALAXY Note II just about out specs the original in every way doesn't mean that no one loves the poor Samsung GALAXY Note. In fact, Android 4.2.1 has leaked for the 5 incher and software version N7000XXLSA happens to be the first Jelly Bean update ever leaked for the device. So far, Samsung hasn't included much S-Pen functionality with the Jelly Bean source code, something that is sure to be addressed before the software update becomes official.

It should be noted that unlike the N7000XXLSA leak revealed by Xda, which came from a dump of a person's device, a source for SamMobile says that the version of the update that we are discussing came right from Samsung's servers. All you need to do is flash the update with Odin and you're updated. Again, the issue with the S-Pen would concern us a little and you might want to wait for the official OTA update which is supposed to arrive late this year or early next year.

Among the cool changes included with the update are Project Butter (or is it "I can't believe it's not Project Butter?"), Multiwindows, customized notification panel, Pop-up Play, Smart Rotation and Google Now.

OG is Old Generation

It means Original Gangsta :)

i think OG means Old Good.

22. Non_Sequitur posted on 29 Nov 2012, 05:32

It most likely will. Jelly Bean has recently leaked for the Galaxy S2 (with almost NO bugs whatsoever, so excited because that means it'll probably roll out soon!) and it has the new UI.

Wow! Its so good that samsung learned to support their devices. It was the ONLY thing I didnt like about sammy.

Nice, I had the Note some months ago and sold it in a week because I really didn't liked it, but with all the updates and such, I might return to the Galaxy Note.

admin correct this, it is not android 4.2.1, it is android 4.1.2

7. jpmcnown posted on 29 Nov 2012, 00:16

NO s**t!!

10. OHaZZaR posted on 29 Nov 2012, 00:34

I was actually super excited about it being android 4.2.1 xD It was way too good to be true. I'm still gonna flash and tell you what it's like (hopefully)

13. anshulrajput posted on 29 Nov 2012, 01:05

its already confirmed that it is android 4.1.2.

12. omar300 posted on 29 Nov 2012, 00:48 2

THIS ARTICLE IS MISLEADING.
CLEARLY SOURCE STATED "4.1.2" NOT "4.2.1" THAT MAKES A HUGE HUGE HUGE DIFFERENCE.

14. Tsepz_GP posted on 29 Nov 2012, 01:22 1

Its 4.1.2 NOT 4.2.1:

Alan I think you need to send your co-workers another apology. Come on now 4.2.1 really?

16. spoks posted on 29 Nov 2012, 02:11

I just sold may Note 1 for a Nexus 4... i hate waiting for updates and now I have android 4.2.1 on my Nexus 4 and 7... OEM phones are terrible... planning to get nexus 10 in 2013...

17. chethan316 posted on 29 Nov 2012, 02:12

Alan, it's Android 4.1.2 and not 4.2.1. You had me shocked for a while. That's a whole different version of Android, although still Jelly Bean.

20. Pego71 posted on 29 Nov 2012, 03:25

Android 4.1.2 no 4.2.1 please correct.

23. imkyle posted on 29 Nov 2012, 06:01

25. mariosraptor posted on 29 Nov 2012, 08:23

26. 1ceTr0n posted on 29 Nov 2012, 16:10

Now THIS I wasn't expecting, if it turns out to be true, Sammy is just beyond awesome unlike *cough* Motorola and their droids....
