Upgrade the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean build XARCLI

What this means is that you can now try what Jelly Bean might feel like on your tablet. Although, as usual, since this is leaked firmware, this may still be a test build with issues and bugs. This also means that Jelly Bean is being readied for the tablet and that the final, official build will soon be rolling out.

Easy upgrade to jb…. but now my mic doesnt work. Any fix?
nana

Nyc way of experiencing jb before official release….few bugs: mic doesnt seem to work
Messed up orientation settings (auto rotate works perfectly and once u disable it da orientation remains in da state dat it was in b4 u disabled auto rotate….so far so good….however, once disabled some application can still by pass nd activate ot like youtube app even though auto rotate is dis abled)
Auto brightness doesnt work either…..once u select autobrightness it sets brightness to lowest possible regardless of ambient lighting conditions
Da initial boot after update is a bit laggy, just resart da tab nd everythn is perfect
Also there is no way of checking battery percentage from home screen
Wallpaper setting is also messd up, da image u select has to be perfectly square otherwise da image will stretch or u end up with black edges (once u update, u will see wat i mean)
I just noticed this as i was typing dis comment….u knw dat little pop up thn dat comes up wen u press nd hold da dot (.) And comma (,) key….it shows add8tional keys….well dat window has been enlarge, more like stretchd so now it look pixilated….a little annoying
?……..once i find anythn, i will update….but nyc rom overall…..project butter can be felt somehow

I also upgraded. I like it overall. Mic does not work as others have said. Auto-brightness sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Some text looks a bit blurry to me but that could just be me. Everything else seems to work rather well. Looking forward to a full release. Does anyone know..when Samsung does release the upgrade will I have to downgrade to 4.0.4 and then upgrade through kies or is there a way to go straight to the full release.

Update is working good,so far.I did get a message saying that auto updates were disabled because the device had been modified.I guess that means reverting back to 4.04 when the official OTA comes out.Is there anyway to root the device with JB installed?

I installed this last night. Everything seem fine, but when I benchmark in both antutu and quadrant the scores are 20% lower. Can’t figure out why, the interface seems smooth.

I did the update a week/so ago, and everything seems to be running fine, but I can’t find the option to turn off auto rotate anymore… I really like it for when I’m reading on Kindle so I can lay down and the screen doesn’t keep rotating on me. Hopefully there’s still a way to turn it off???? Help!
