Thank you!
I recommend downloading CyanogenMod 10.0 stable for stable Jellybean 4.1 ROM. Then downloading Jellybean 4.2 ZIP file to flash over 4.2 features.
I mean the Jellybean 4.2 gapps. There is one floating around compatible with all phones and ROMs to bring 4.2 features to 4.1
I flashed this ROM today and checked it out… its a bit laggy on my Nexus S but its a nice and I like some of the new features and interface stuff… the problem is that I flashed the Super User app and it doesn’t work properly under this ROM… so you can’t use any root apps… back to CM 10.0.0 with the new GApps I guess… Great work on this release guys! ^_^
Superuser will not work in this ROM instead use super SU, works great. Is Viber working for anyone?
i did installed superSu but it when it needs to updated it said installation failed!! help me..plizz
