Jelly Bean ?

I sure hope so! After seeing how smooth it runs on the original Nexus, I bet it would work great on the Note!
 
Yeah, with S3 still fresh and record breaking and Note 2 on the wing, JB on Note maybe put on hold for a while. But let's whine continously, Samsung should give us JB if we whine loud and in sync enough!
 
It seems like it should be an incremental update, compared to the huge update GB-ICS was. I would think that the turn-around time for this sort of upgrade would be less of a hassle for Samsung, and thus the carriers.
 
i doubt if we are ever gonna get an OTA for the note but there is always the CM10 way or one of the custom ROMS that will eventually be ported for the N7000.
 
I agree, don't think that Samsung will bother with a JB update on the Note. But, if the Note 2 comes as standard with JB, I'm sure there will be a port within a few weeks.

Here's for hoping, hah!
 
There is already a Jelly Bean custom ROM in development. It is still alpha, but looks like there is a lot of action on it.

I have not flashed it yet, can't risk an alpha, but people are saying it's doing good for an early release!
 
XplodWild and the CM team are already running one for the S2's which is very similar to ours so am guessing the aftermarket boys are way faster devs than samsung's overpaid nerds.

Once the S2 has an RC version the note should have one as well. Gotta love em!
 
if you are goin CM, get the CM Safe Kernel.

Follow the instructions here : CM9 How To Install Link.

Once you have flashed the CM9 Safe Kernel proceed to install CM9/10. Do not under ANY circumstances flash from an ICS ROM unless you have verified that you do not have the BrickBug.

If you want to make sure, this is the link to the Got Brick Bug? app written by ChainFire.

LOL ok in summary Samsung's official ICS Kernel has a bug that can potentially brick your phone.

When you are moving to Cayanogen Mod, you will need to perform a Data Wipe using the recovery. Now, keeping in mind that you might be on ICS at this time, else you wouldnt be asking the question, when you do perform a data wipe thats when the ICS Kernel bug is invoked.

Now there are a few "Safe Kernals" out there that are compiled by after market devs that will allow you to perform a data wipe and not brick your phone.

Now for CM you need a Kernel aka a Kernel Compiled by one of the CM Devs, that will support it. Again, there are whole bunch of kernels out there but i would suggest you find one on XDA.

Its not that simple is it? :)

and to answer your other question: Yes. it is safe. I tried it for a few hours last night but went back to CM9 aka ICS cos CM10 aka JB is not quite ready yet.
