Title : Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus

Description:

Google did a lot to make Android 4.1 Jelly Bean a desirable evolution of Ice Cream Sandwich. There is all the attention paid to responsiveness and colors that improve the visual experience. Then we have the more substantial improvements like Google Now predictive search and all those widget and notification enhancements. Jelly Bean is solid software, but you’re probably not going to get your paws on it officially for a good long time. If that bums you out, there is always rooting and custom ROMs. You’re going to be taking a risk doing it, but you can probably get the newest Android 4.1.1 software on your phone right now. Stability and support have improved now that Google has added the new build to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), so let’s look at what you’ll get, and then see how to do it.
