Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3, JellyBean Update Finally Set to Roll Out
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 JellyBean update is finally set to rollout.
A reliable industry insider recently confirmed the news to Sam Mobile that the update could arrive as early as this week. There is even a chance that Samsung will kick off the rollout later today and will start in a handful of markets.
The Android 4.3 update has only been available at Samsung service stations thus far.
An older report from Sam Mobile revealed that these centers currently have access to the update. A Note 2 user in India who got their device upgraded to the latest version of the software leaked a screenshot of the device running it.
Users not willing to be patient could download a ROM that allows the Galaxy Note 2 to run Android 4.4 KitKat.
This firmware can be accessed through OmniROM who released it earlier this month.
The AT&T Galaxy Note 2, T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, the GT-N7100 and the GT-N7105 are the versions that are compatible with this new software.
Instructions on how to access the Android 4.4 KitKat ROM for the device could be found in the XDA-developers forum. Unofficial ROMS should be downloaded and installed with caution as they void warrantees on devices and erase memory. All data on the Notes should be backed up before owners start taking steps to install the software.
This latest ROM should be followed by many more as various developers such as ParanoidAndroid and CyanogenMod have already confirmed that they are working on their own versions set to be rolled out soon.
The Galaxy Note 2 launched in the fall of 2012 and has been one of Samsung's most successful devices thus far.
