Guys I've got a question. I finally built up the courage to root my baby:cry::D

I want to flash it with the Official Jelly Bean update (the Spanish version). Is it fine to just upgrade from my stock ICS 4.0.3?

Not just that, is it fine to upgrade to any custom rom straight from any stock rom?
 
Neatrom lite and Wanamlite are both up based on the official spanish FW.

Upgrade to Spanish ROM, no hassle. Custom ROMs - it depends. If the ROM is based on Samsung Stock, you should have no problem. If moving across to AOKP or AOSP (like Cyanogen), you are well advised to do a clean install.

Neatrom lite and Wanamlite are both up based on the official spanish FW.

Now that's the news I've been waiting to hear. :)
 
Now look what you've done... You made me cave in! Now running NeatROM Lite 4.1
Thanks ;)

Going to download it tonight or tomorrow too :) just couldn't decide between neat and wanam but I think I'll stick with neat and probably dori kernel. How you finding 4.1?

Sorry, missed your post before. I like salesale's attitude. He gets his ROMS right first time and he is extremely helpful. I have it on for only a couple hours now, but it's solid. So far so good. The jury is out on the new LS8 modem though. The leak fw (LSJ) had the LS6 modem included which was really good. If LS8 fails me, I'll flash LS6 back. As far as kernels are concerned, the development will only start when the source codes are released for the official release. Currently you can pick from Jeboo, PhillZ, Dorimanx and Siyah.

What ROM were you on before?

NeatROM Lite 4.0 (LSJ based) with aroma and other mods. With Siyah kernel 6.0beta4

Just remember that you must still download Samsung's photo editor software, it does not come pre installed like with the S3 and Note2.

Quickest way is to click on any pictures in your gallery and select Edit. It will then prompt you to download Photo Editor.

It's a 12.11MB download, and good enough for basic photo editing, as well as some cool effects and colour options.
 
Cool. Is it necessary to do a full-wipe coming from Omega?

I honestly don't know mate. Just make a backup first as usual. The guys at XDA will be able to answer you better, but the golden rule is to wipe between different midified roms. I hope for your sake it won't be required!

True. Thanks. Only reason I don't wanna wipe is because then I would have to set up Touchwiz all over again :-/

Apparently it's very good, but I just need a quick tool for basic editing of my pics.

Don't want to post them on the web, they already get uploaded to my 50GB Dropbox account.
