How to Install Jelly Bean 4.2's Photo SphereCamera & Gallery on Your Samsung GalaxyNote 2

The rumors are flying everywhere about the
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 getting updated to Jelly
Bean 4.2, but as of now, we have no freakin' idea
when. Among all of the features sported in the
update, Photo Sphere is one of the more popular,
allowing you to snap incredible and immersive 360
degree photographs.
So, until that update comes, you're probably still
marooned with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on your Note 2, and
that means no Photo Sphere camera.
Unless you're rooted...
How to Get Photo Sphere for the Galaxy Note 2
If you want to download the fully functional Photo
Sphere Camera and Gallery applications to your Note
2, follow these instructions:
Root your device.
Download this camera42_patched_v2.zip file
directly onto your phone.
If it's not already, make sure USB Debugging mode
is on by heading to Settings -> Developer Options.
Turn off your phone and boot it into Recovery mode
by holding Volume Up + Home + Power.
Scroll down to Advanced, click on wipe dalvik cache
and then press Yes.
Going back to main menu, select install zip from
sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, tap on Download/,
navigate to the camera42_patched_v2.zip file, and
select Yes.
After the zip installs, go back to main menu in
recovery and select reboot system now.
You should now see brand new Camera and Gallery
apps in the Apps section of your Note 2!
To use the new feature, just click on the new camera
icon and select the circular world icon to access Photo
Sphere. From there, align the pokéball with the blue
dot until you stitch up the entire 360 degrees!
If you have Photosphere Live Wallpaper installed, you
can now start using your own photo spheres for your
home screen wallpaper, unlike before, when you had
to find someone else's.
