XDA contributor, Civato, has uploaded his version of Android version 4.2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-N5110).  Here are some notes and descriptions from the developer, Civato, himself.

Note:
This rom is based on the Samsung 4.2.2 for the GT-N5110: JDQ39.N5110XXCMG2.
Take it as it is and don’t complain as this is free.
No requests.

This is a whole different firmware as 4.1.2 so some things I need to figure out to add like 4 way reboot.
Custom kernel (CivZ-StormBorn) will not work on this until Samsung releases new source.

Rom Features
Aroma installer
Stock kernel with init.d support and exFat support
Init.d Tweaks
Root SuperSU 1.41
BusyBox 1.21.0

New installed apps will be zipaligned on every reboot

If you’re looking to get 4.2.2 on that Galaxy Note 8.0 and don’t have the patience to wait for Samsung, I suggest you take Civato’s 4.2.2 ROM for a spin. Remember to make a back up and do a lot of reading if you’re new to this stuff.

The post First Android version 4.2.2 flashable ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is live appeared first on Android Fan Network.

I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. I’ve owned the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 since April (I think the release date) and rooted it the second I got home with the Framaroot one click root app, skipped the past OTA updates and never put a custom recovery on this bad boy, because it is that much of a kick ass device out of the box with Android version 4.1.2.

That is until today when Civato, recognized contributor at XDA, posted he’ll have a flashable zip for the 4.2.2 leak for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.  Now Civato claims in his OP of his threads that he’s not a developer and only does this Android stuff as a hobby, fun and to share his setup with other users. I beg to differ with you Civato. You’re a hell of a developer!  I’ve been using your work since the Acer A500 and in my opinion you’re more than a contributor. He has quite the body of work over at XDA. Edit- Civato no longer puts that in his OP’s

Anyhoo…  Civato should have a flashable zip for the 4.2.2 leak sometime today that should work nicely for a base for other developers or a stock Android version 4.2.2 ROM experience for crack flashers.  As soon as he posts the ROM, we’ll post the link.

For those of you new to this rooting and flashing game, be sure to read, read and READ some more before you dive in. These are expensive toys we’re tinkering with.

I’m bringing this article to an end to find a way to get a custom recovery on my Precious. Stay tuned for a full review and “how to” for this ROM.

 Framaroot app is a One click root app for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and other devices

If you just Googled One click root app for my Galaxy Note 8.0, you’ve come to the right place!  There’s a lot of controversy regarding one click root apps for Android devices.  I can see both sides of the argument.  I agree new Android users looking to root their device should know the in’s and out’s of Android before they root it  just in case they get themselves in a pickle.  On the other hand, one click root apps are a god send for the users that know the in’s and out’s and just want a quick root method.  It’s a huge time saver for basically the same result.  If you’re looking for a stock rooted experience, I see nothing wrong with a one click root app.  That’s just me.

Head on over to XDA and do a little reading about this app before you download and install it.  In a nut shell, check unknown sources in your settings on your device, download the apk, install the app and run it.  Bang!  You’ve got Root access and Superuser privileges.  Again!  For anyone new to this whole rooting thing, read, read and then read some more about root and what it does.  If you’re not new to all of this, download this app and get that sucker rooted.
