If you have the older Samsung Galaxy S I9000 smartphone then we have
some news that may interest you today, especially if you’re not averse
to a bit of tinkering with your device. If you enjoy customization then
the Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 update is now available for the Galaxy S
I9000 via a Slim Bean Build 2 ROM. This custom ROM, said to be stable,
provides fixes and a myriad of new features.
Just some of the 4.2.2 Slim Bean ROM Build 2 custom firmware
offerings are TheRealDarkSlim Toggle, Shiny new Slim Sizer, added root
functionality to SlimFilemanager, extended QuickSettings style options
and an update to the latest version of DashClock. Other additions
include an automatic keyboard rotation feature, USB Tether tile, LTE
tile, fullscreen toggle to the browser menu, Signature to Messaging and
much, much more.
Some of the bug fixes include one for HTML5 audio playback, BT
tethering label, A2DP streaming sound fixes and more and the only known
issue at the moment is a small visual glitch for the landscape lock
before unlock. This Slim Bean ROM Build 2 is ONLY for the international
variant of the Galaxy S I9000 so please don’t try it with other models.
Before we go any further we’d like to stress that at Phones Review we
never recommend using anything but official updates for your devices
and that if you decide to use this custom ROM and anything goes wrong
then it will be your own responsibility. However we know that plenty of
our readers enjoy the freedom of customizing their smartphones so we
still try to bring the latest news for you.
Before you begin you’ll need to have the correct USB drivers
installed, remember to back up data and settings and have at least 80%
battery charge. You also need to be certain that the USB debugging mode
is enabled and ensure your device is rooted with ClockworkMod recovery
installed. You may also want to download and install the Root checker
app to check that root access is working okay.
When you’re ready to go you can download the 4.2.2 Slim Bean Build 2 ROM for Galaxy S I9000 from here and Google Apps
here to your desktop. You can then proceed to update to Android 4.2.2
Jelly Bean and when you’ve completed if you go to Settings>About
Phone you’ll be able to see verification of the software that you’ve
