Seeing that Google announced Android 4.1 Jelly Bean last week during its Google I/O conference - where it also announced its home entertainment device, the Nexus Q, among a few other things - Android users are surly antsy to get the latest version of the OS onto their devices. Well, Nexus S and Nexus S 4G owners are in luck; two guys from the XDA forums - DeXmax and CooLoserTech - have ported Jelly Bean 4.1 to the Nexus S and Nexus S 4G, respectively.
Although Google seems to have sped up Ice Cream Sandwich implementation across the range of Android devices, there are still a bunch of feature-rich smartphones out there yearning for some of the Big G's delicious mobile OS.
Consumer electronics retailer Best Buy has announced that they will be offering all Google Nexus S models for free in a limited-time offer that will last only for the day of 3rd August i.e. today.
Nexus S 4G is the hottest Android phone for folks on sprint and since bootloader has been unlocked with root, there is a raising demand of custom ROM, mods and hacks. Earlier I posted a complete guide on flashing / installing Android 2.3 Gingerbread based CyanogenMod 7.x on Nexus S 4G, and today it’s MIUI ROM that got ported. MIUI is also a custom Android firmware that was born in China, but overtook the whole modding community because of its great functionality and thoroughly optimized user experience.
