Your Samsung Galaxy Nexus S will receive Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) after the two big SIM carriers, Vodafone Australia and SFR in France, released the update news.

In fact some Nexus S owners claimed their devices are already updated with Jelly Bean, thus it's all about time for all the Nexus S to get latest Android version very soon. May be tomorrow at your country time.

Because Vodafone said their company will be starting the update rollout tomorrow at 1 pm in Australia time, while SFR it's reported to deploy the update today.

If we take their claims, then we are expecting the Jelly Bean will make its way to all Nexus S across the earth in the next few days. Therefore just wait.

Android Jelly Bean ROM for Venerable HTC HD2

Don't underestimate the HTC HD2 because of the phone is a couple of years old, the age doesn't mean it can't run the latest Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Because recently an XDA forum member, smokin901 released a Jelly Bean port for HTC HD2.

The main reason of the release is simply showing to the world that HD2 is still beastly enough to run the Android latest version, therefore it's not necessarily for people to use daily.

But since the port was on XDA, it will probably end up being developed by other members and hopefully we will be seeing the more stable version sometime in the near future.
HTC HD2 Runs Android Jelly Bean OS
Anyway, here is two list contains the things that are working and are not working on Jelly Bean port on HD2.

Working:
  • Mobile Data 3G/2G
  • Calls
  • WiFi
  • Bluetooth
  • SMS
  • Sound check download page for fix ————————– Credit Bexton
  • Video Playback
  • USB Mass Storage ———– Credit Bexton

And not working:
  • Camera
  • Browser works but display is messed up.
  • Error when Installing some Apps
  • Google Now crashes.
If you are interested, or a developer who wants to try this ROM up or helping to develop it to make it stabler, then you are invited to head to the original thread.

Thanks to both XDA forum members, Sahil Lombar that brings Jelly Bean AOSP to the Sensation and Sportsstar89 using the form of CyanogenMod has made to bring AOSP to Amaze 4G.

However the both ROMs are still in alpha stage, therefore expect imperfect from them. Not everything works, but there are numbers of other features work.

What Works?
  • Core System
  • Hardware Acceleration
  • USB Storage
  • Vibration Motor

  • Sdcard

What Doesn't?

Install Android ICS-Style Settings Menu For XPERIA 2011 GingerBread Based ROM

We already know what ICS can give to your device, but unfortunately will our device supports the mobile OS? That's question probably is in your mind too. Like the owners of Sony Xpria are hoping the ICS update will arrive to them. But according to report I have read not all of the 2011 Xperia owners are getting the ICS.

Thankfully there is someone who thinks about that, a XDA forum member, namely iiandskater comes out with a mod that can be used to arrange the settings menu on Gingerbread ROMs to match with the ICS settings menu's feel and style. It's cool and it works amazingly well.

ICS-Style Settings

The developer stored the mod in update.zip extension, which you can flash it in a custom recovery. But this mod is a first release, so expect some bugs within. Here are the bugs you will find:

  • Voice Input will force close, 
  • a couple of menu items take users to the same location, 
  • and there is no data usage menu.

But don't worry the developer has promised in the next version, you will not find those bugs again plus data usage menu will be included. And this mod supports all XPERIA 2011 phone running on GingerBread based ROM for stock or modified version. Awesome right?

Interested? You can head to the original thread to download and learn it.

Hope this post helps and see you again in another posts!

List Of HTC Phones For Android 4.0 ICS Update

Do you own HTC phone? Then you must be checking whether your phone model is included in the list that will receive Android 4.0 ICS update. Because HTC has released an official list of the HTC phones that are qualified to receive Ice Cream Sandwich update. And you might want to check the list out of course.

So here is the list.

The list of HTC Phones for Android 4.0 handset update list
  • HTC Sensation – March
  • HTC Sensation 4G – March
  • HTC Sensation XE – March
  • HTC Sensation XL
  • HTC Rezound
  • HTC Vivid
  • HTC Amaze 4G
  • HTC EVO 3D
  • HTC EVO Design 4G
  • HTC Flyer
  • HTC Desire S
  • HTC Incredible S

  • HTC Rhyme
  • HTC Inspire 4G
  • myTouch 4G
  • myTouch 4G Slide
  • HTC Thunderbolt
  • HTC Hero S
  • HTC Merge
  • HTC EVO Shift 4G

HTC Phone

And since we know that the HTC phone is separated into three categories based on the processors used. Therefore, the first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update will be onto dual-core Qualcomm S3 processors based phone, followed by S2 processors.

However those who are S1-based phone is likely will not get the update. Albeit there is no any details from HTC concerning this, but considering Google has put Nexus One out from ICS upgrade instead left it with Gingerbread running for so long, is a clear evidence.

And handsets like HTC Desire, Droid and EVO 4G are of course will be left out from this update as they are under the same basic configuration and considered will not be able to handle to run Android 4.0.
