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.
Below is a list of what's working and what's not working within the rom as well as a short changelog of the latest Beta 1 version taken directly from the developer's thread at xda forums.
