Download Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean for Galaxy Note I717

Users of the AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-I717 now have another custom ROM to flash to their phones.  This time, it is an unofficial CyanogenMod 10 (CM10) ROM. Apart from being Jelly Bean-based, the ROM also has features that one can normally get from CM10 ROMs.

While users and owners of both the international version of the Galaxy Note and the AT&T Galaxy Note wait for the official Jelly Bean update, custom ROMs can fill in the void of waiting for the meantime. And maybe, if you liked any of the ROMs, you may even keep for daily use and take your mind off of all the waiting.

Developed and released by XDA Developers member natewiebe13, this unofficial CM10 ROM is a continuation of the work of another XDA Developers member ManelScout4Life, the man behind the Liquid Smooth Jelly Bean ROM.

This guide shows you how to upgrade the Galaxy Note I717 to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean via CyanogenMod 10 (unofficial).
