Slim ROM is based on Android 4.3 and CyanogenMod and is a fantastic and elegantly designed Custom ROMs which are available for various Android Phone and Tablets. One of the main benefits of Rooting is to install the Custom ROMs. These ROMs are developed and designed with great care, they do spend a lot of their hard work and energies to create such great ROMs for free, they do deserve your appreciation and donations if you can afford!!

1. Use this tutorial only for Galaxy Note 2 N7100, do not try to flash these files on another variant or Samsung device, otherwise you end up bricking your phone.
