While we know that the Google Nexus S is scheduled to be one of the first devices to see an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean beside the Galaxy Nexus. If you want to try this New Android OS on your Nexus S, the XDA forums always got the solution for you.

 

Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 AOSP ROM is now available for the Nexus S. There's not too much to know about this release except that legolas 93 says everything works which is awesome. Obviously you should be confortable with the process of rooting and flashing ROMs to your phone before you continue.

According to latest reports, the Original Asus Eee Pad Transformer will be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Word comes from the Facebook page of Asus Germany, where the company confirmed that an update is being brewed. Jelly Bean will also be released for the funkier Asus Eee Pad Slider.

Here is an excerpt from the statement itself: "According to current knowledge, and users of older TF101/SL101 enjoy an Android 4.1 update will come." Yeah, Google Translate is not perfect yet, but the translation is good enough for us to get the idea.

 

The Jelly Bean upgrade will have Android version 4.1.1 and it should be a bigger boost in performance than ICS was for the Asus Transformer TF101, and if there was one last upgrade that the device should receive, it should be this one.

We reported before that the Galaxy S II won't get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update Officially, so users will have to flash cutoff ROMs. After we saw the CyanogenMod 10, It's now time to get it on the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100.

 

The Developers of CyanogenMod has managed to get a very early CM10 build on Samsung's previous Flag-ship device, with the some reasonable number of bugs and issues, mainly with the audio, that are characteristic for nightly CM builds.

 

You can follow the Instrcutions HERE to get JB on your Galaxy S II, but this void your warranty. Early Android 4.1 Jelly Bean builds are without issues, but the sheer fact that they are popping up for so many handsets so soon after Google released the source code, gives us hope that the situation with JB will be better than with the ICS update.

Full Change-log Here

 

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean source code having recently dropped on AOSP, custom ROM makers are quickly making progress in getting the new version ported to a variety of devices. One of those is the much anticipated CyanogenMod 10, and this morning one of CM's leading devs has posted a short teaser video showing the Jelly Bean-powered CM10 in action.

Ricardo Cerquiera released the above video on YouTube and Google+, demonstrating a surprisingly functional ROM on the LG Optimus 4X HD. Zipping around the UI, we see that the camera, multitasking and phone calls are all working, though this early build seems to have a couple of issues with the new Google Search app. In any case, it's an impressive amount of progress considering how short a time the Jelly Bean source has been available.
