It ran fine and nicely. I had to perform data factory reset from recovery thrice and it was much better. Try this first and if it doesn’t help, go back to ICS. Another alternative will be to install a custom ROM: All I mean is- there is no wisdom in using ICS when JB is there! Hi, I would suggest you to try another firmware.

I just had a couple of questions with this like: 1) Can i install this ROM though CWM recovery insted of Odin?

2) Is this ROM as the same as the one i am currently using? 3) My phone is rooted, will i loose my root in this ROM? Coz if i do i will not be able to use titanium backup to restore all my apps.!!! Please help and guide as to whether i should go with the official ROM or [ROM][4.1.2 JB]Ultimate N7000 XXLSZ JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.2??? Actually the update will not delete any data but the mixture of some ICS files with the JB ones might give you a laggy performance.

Hi Atul, Nice to see you taking pains to write so much about your doubts and requirement, but at the same time they seem a little contradictory. All firmwares are the same except a few localization but I would recommend you the German firmware (tested). I have listed all the features that come with the update and you would not get anything more in an official firmware. If you are so keen to have these features, you will have to root your phone and lose warranty, etc.

And then install a third-party ROM that has these features. I am currently testing some nice ROMs and writing an article/tutorial on the topic. It should be published by tomorrow. These are official firmwares so you would not loose warranty.

No you would not lose any app or game but if you want to have smoother performance and better battery, I’ll recommend you to do a factory data reset (read the full article above) and then all the data on the internal memory will be wiped. For that, download the app backup and restore: 5. The danger is always there even if you install nothing. Just drop your note on the floor and it might brick. If you say, you will follow the instruction carefully, nothing wrong will go. No, you will not get the OTA and will have to update the device manually. Hope it helps you, stay tuned and cheers!
