The thing that I liked most about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 is that you can customize the tablet's interface. Especially when using a deodexed ROM, you can easily alter the tablet's interface and flash mods while still keeping the features of the stock ROM.

Kudos to XDA Developers member Darkman_RS for providing a deodexed Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000. With this ROM, you can easily install custom themes and mods and make some changes to the tablet's interface. The ROM is based on the tablet's stock ROM, so basically all the stock features are retained while you customize your tablet's interface. The ROM is also rooted so you gain full access and fully customize the tablet.

This guide shows you how to flash stock, rooted Jelly Bean ROM for the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000.
