Android 4.2 Jelly Bean gets ported to the Nexus S

For an Android phone that was released in 2010, its nothing short of amazing to see how the Nexus S has made the jump from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich, before finally resting on Jelly Bean. Then again, were talking about a Nexus here.

Although Google has announced that the Nexus S wont get updated beyond Android 4.1.2, this inconvenience doesnt seem to deter developers from trying to bring Android 4.2 to the aging phone.

A member of XDA-developers forum by the handle knzo has released a working build of Android 4.2 for the Nexus S. While there are the usual issues and bugs that currently stop the latest flavor of Jelly Bean from becoming a daily driver, the ROM is deemed stable and usable.

Unfortunately, the Android 4.2 ROM has been taken offline by the maker. The developer said that itll be put back up when its ready to be used a daily driver. Check out the original thread for more details and future announcement of when you can test the ROM out on your Nexus S.
