It's always nice to see development for galaxy mini or pop s5570
smartphone moving at a rapid pace. This low end handset from Samsung is
once again up to date with latest android software, Android 4.1.1 Jelly
Bean operating system, thanks to the courtesy of xda developers.
Yesterday,
TheWhisp
and his team introduced CyanogenMod 10 Beta 1 based on Jelly Bean for
galaxy mini s5570 smartphone. The development for Jelly Bean based custom rom
for galaxy mini was initiated few weeks ago when Google released the
source code of Android 4.1.1. With the release of the source code for
Jelly Bean OS, many developers community around the web started
compiling latest android builds for their handset.
Jelly Bean is the latest Android 4.1.1 software announced during the
Google I/O event held back on June 2012. At the event the search giant
also announced it's own branded Nexus 7 tablet for a price as low as $199 which runs on Android 4.1.0. While Jelly Bean is an small upgrade to Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich
operating system, it has got some huge improvements in overall
functioning of the system for efficient and effective ram management
improving performance and battery life by huge percentage. Project
Butter and Google Now are two special features introduced with latest
version that improve the overall user experience in any android handset.
Now coming back to the topic, Jelly Bean for galaxy mini comes as an
unofficial version of CM10 and is already in Beta 1 stage of
development. With this release the developer has tried to improve many
aspects to create a usable Jelly Bean update. However, due to low specs
of our handset, many things are still not working on this rom including
Deep Sleep (which means less battery life), proximity sensor, camera and
HQ video playback. Rest things are supposed to work fine but, you might
also find few other minor bugs. You are also likely to experience some
lags within the rom, so, it's recommended to overclock your handset by substantial frequency for smooth performance.
