Now we can add another device to the list of Jelly Bean goodness, the international Samsung Galaxy S III, I9300. XDA member Faryaab and randomblame, they have Jelly Bean port in progress. But much like the One X version, there is more not working than there is working.
What’s working:
- ADB
- Touchscreen
- Hardware Acceleration
- Notification LED
- Cellular Rado (But No Audio so no Calls)
- Physical Buttons
- SMS
- Accelerometer
- Charging
- Maybe More
- Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/NFC
- Audio
- Camera
- MTP
- Storage
- Maybe more
It is still a step in the right direction. Things will get better as time progresses. Working from other device builds and the SDK isn’t an easy task. That should all change when Google releases the Jelly Bean source in the middle of next month. You can expect CyanogenMod to begin working on it then and we are certain plenty of other developers will be on board and make the impossible possible.
If you have the courage and the time to kill, head over to XDA and take a look. Flash at your own risk and as Faryabb mentions, “This is just for fun and 80% stuff doesn’t work so this can NOT be your daily driver.”
