Since the official Jelly Bean update for the device is still far from being released, most users have resorted to flashing custom ROMs instead of just sitting down and doing nothing, while the rest of the world is enjoying the features Jelly Bean has in store. Another custom ROM — the ParanoidAndroid ROM kanged by XDA Developers member Utacka — has recently been rolled out for the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, giving owners more choices to choose from.

ParanoidAndroid ROMs are known for their phone and tablet hybrid UIs, giving you the best of both worlds. The custom ROM allows you to scale almost every aspect of the UI — from the sizes of the app icons, widgets, and more. This custom ROM will definitely look great on the Galaxy Note, considering that the device is a phablet rather than merely a phone.

This custom ROM is still under development. Bugs and issues may show, but hopefully, these will be addressed by the developers soon enough.

This guide shows you how to upgrade the Galaxy Note N7000 to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean via ParanoidAndroid custom ROM.
