PanaroidAndroid brings a beautiful interface on Android smartphones. Now the beauty can be enjoyed on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 thanks to XDA Developers’ member Androguide.fr. The ROM also brings Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
The ROM is still new, and needs a lot of polishing. CyanogenMod 10 was the base when this ROM was created, so the issues in CM10 will also be present in this ROM. There are reports that the soft buttons have to be enabled by going to Settings > Navigation Bar, as they may not show up after initially booting the tablet.
For following the flashing guide you should have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.2 model N8000 in your possession. Other tablets or models are highly discouraged for this tutorial. You should also charge the battery to an appropriate percentage, as the device may shut down if not properly charged leading to an interruption in the installation process. Security softwares should also be disabled and it is recommended that you backup all important data.
