James Pearce once again told us of his love for the excellent Samsung Galaxy Note II yesterday and I must say that after my review here I pretty much share his views.
Well, it would seem that there is yet another reason to like Samsung’s monster handset as a new firmware release was leaked online yesterday bringing the device to Android version 4.1.2.
The leak, first posted over at Sammobile brings the following new features:
- Android 4.1.2 – JZO54K
- New Additions in Notifcation Toggles
- Notification Panel can now be customized
- Brightness Slider in Notification Panel Can Now Be Disabled
- Multi-View Can now be disabled
- Browser Is Smoother Then Before
- Status Bar has been changed from Grey to Black
- Continues Input in Samsung Keyboard (Like Swipe or Android 4.2 Keyboard)
- New Ink Effect On Lockscreen
- New Group Cast Application
There may still be some bugs in the software as it is pre-release and as such is not available from Kies however the full download and installation instructions can be found on Sammobile.
