From the web:
Android 4.1.2 – JZO54K
New Additions in Notifcation Toggles
Notification Panel can now be customized
Brightness Slider in Notification Panel Can Now Be Disabled
Multi-View Can now be disabled
Browser Is Smoother Then Before
Status Bar has been changed from Grey to Black
Continues Input in Samsung Keyboard (Like Swipe or Android 4.2 Keyboard)
New Ink Effect On Lockscreen
New Group Cast Application

I highly recommend you to switch to TWRP recovery - I have posted yesterday the advantages - search for it
I discovered this excellent alternative recovery when I was using my Nexus 7 - was very impressed as is the only recovery that allows backup to external usb thumb drives, external sdcard in my Nexus 7. CWM only allows backup to internal memory of the Nexus 7. Of course there are other advantages
Just flash the TWRP zip from recovery mode

You can try it - my success rate was 50/50 ( don't know why )
Easiest flash the zip from recovery mode and use Goo Manager subsequently to update to latest version

Download XXDLL4 v3.01 and the Free Toggle control application file
If you really need the full AOKP features , donate at least US$2 and he will email you 2 APK files
This is example his email once you donate

Changelog:

V2.6.1 -> V3
BugFixes:
Home double click now works if S-Voice was removed.
Potential fix for something that might caused some users to face the phone getting locked in landscape mode
Simplistic Control has many fixes, including the *refreshing animation* in some parts
Launching app from double click OR Long pressing the toggles will now dismiss the keyguard if no password is set.
Wifi Hotspot Toggle now uses your settings instead of "My Ap"
MultiWindow Toggle Fix (Look at new features)
Fix for toggles not positioning at the left when the scrolling animation is disabled.
Fix for Smart Rotation Toggle (Settings won't show that it's enabled due to some code missing by Samsung, but it works)
Potential Fix for NFC Toggle (Feedback needed)

New Features:

Long Press Back to Kill! But with a slight twist. When you enable this feature, the MultiWindow Toggle will change modes, and become a toggle to choose what action to perform when longpressing the back button, MultiWindow or Back to Kill!
Next Alarm in Expanded StatusBar, replaces the carrier label whenever there is an alarm. You can also use a toggle to enable entering the clock app when clicking on the alarm view.
Ink Effect: You can now choose ANY color you desire, no predefined ones, you can use the color picker and choose any color you want .
Bluetooth toggle will now open the Bluetooth dialog.
You can now Enable/Disable toggles haptic feedback on long press.
Added ScreenShot Toggle.
Added Allshare cast Toggle.
NFC Toggle is now NFC P2P
New section! Phone app: Control Call Recording/Increasing Ringtone and choose delay after call ended.
Power Menu: Screenshot added, Negative Screen Colors toggle added
And another big mod: Custom Battery!
What is this? Well basically, you have an apk which I will provide you with, you can add ANY battery you like to it, and then install it as a simple app, choose custom battery from Simplistic Control and Voila! The battery
is there!
The apks can work on any Simplistic Framework starting from V3, and this allows to create something I like to call a "Battery Library" where someone can post a thread full of these batteries
Ability to turn on/off statusbar alarm, bluetooth and sound icons, as well as blocking mode's icon and notification.

I got the zip file from his XDA link
Anyway this is t from my box
https://www.box.com/s/mv93obwd8mccyvbjoiza

After installed and bootup, use Goo Manager app and at menu select installopenrecoveryrecovery to update to latest version 2.3.3. The phone will download and auto install it

Are you new to flashing
Basic stuffs here : use cwm for zip n odin or mobile odin for tar
This is standard procedure

Strange why you think it will not overwrite the older recovery . Of course it will

link for s3 but you can use for note 2

No need

He should take a photo n show us his Samsung sticker under battery. The details will show whether is fake
Original will have a small Samsung sticker n above Samsung logo a 8 Digit number. Fake does not have such a number. Fake sets has black charger n cables headsets

Probably his set has hardware issues
Most of his problems I don't have n so are most of us
Oh it is million times better than my iPhone 5 . Just cannot resist saying this

Auto reboot only 2 reasons - motherboard issue or combo of cracked apps . Do your own testing
Rarely is rom or kernel

Yes it can be resize even in 4.1.1

Use batch backup - all at one go , no need one by one

Yes - usual backup size 2 gb+. It backup only your system data plus 3rd party apps. Any visible data in internal memory is not backup. Backup to EXTERNAL sdcard
Choose and set this option first at preferences/backup folder/ search whole device and select external sdcard
Before that, create a folder yourself : titaniumbackup in external sdcard

When you flash monx rom , you will be asked whether you want to backup your EFS ? Did you select yes. If so , just locate the backup files and restore it. There are 2 files : efsbackup.tar.gz and efsdev-mmcblk0p3.img.gz
EFS contains information about your phone radio/baseband and IMEI info. These cannot be restored from nandroid backup
Losing EFS means going directly to service center to have it corrected. There is no software solution unless you have made a EFS backup
Losing EFS is rare case but it sometimes happen to some unlucky users - why it happen, seriously until now I have no idea
Maybe you flash 7105 perseus kernel and not 7100 ?
