Samsung's popular Galaxy Note's international version received the coveted Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update just a few days ago. Now, the device's AT&T avatar has become the next in line to receive the update thanks to XDA Developer member DAGr8, who built a Jelly Bean preview from AOKP sources.
The new ROM still features the same smooth user interface, improved notification, and offline voice typing. Other added features, aside from what the OS itself offers, include a lightning-fast performance and customization options. However, the ROM is still in its early days and, therefore, we recommend that you take a backup of your ROM before flashing the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM.
