\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jelly Bean took a long time to come to Cyanogenmod (CM).\u00a0 It was plagued with memory leaks for sometime. This is because of the Samsung proprietary drivers needed for the CPU. In an interview, one of the key developers, Codeworkx made a few negative comments about it.<\/p>\n

The memory leak was finally\u00a0 fixed in late Sept 12 and it took sometime for the fix to be rolled up in the CM10 nightly release schedule.\u00a0 Just as I was going to install, I came across a few reviews that the 2 Oct nightly was very slow.\u00a0 So things got put on hold.\u00a0 In the late afternoon, the 3 Oct nightly was released and the reviews were positive.\u00a0 So I started upgrading from CM 9 (ICS) to CM10 (JB) on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.<\/p>\n

1. Perform a backup or screenshot everything.<\/p>\n

For reasons unknown, my internal SD card does not mount properly for ROM Manager.\u00a0 So Nandroid backup is not possible.<\/p>\n

2. Copy ROM and Gapps over.<\/p>\n

3. Boot to Recovery and flash in the same order.<\/p>\n

4. Clear cache (I did not do this)<\/p>\n

5. Reboot and wait for OS to upgrade the apps.<\/p>\n

6. All the apps from CM9 and data should still be there.<\/p>\n

7. Re-create Camera short cut.<\/p>\n

8. Start Google Play to let it auto update some of the Google apps.<\/p>\n

CM10 is now only available via nightly releases.\u00a0 It is not on weekly, stable or release candidate.\u00a0 The download type need to be set to all to see the nightly releases.<\/p>\n

Tested Google Now. Interesting information it gives you, departure schedule for buses and trains near your location.\u00a0 I have fed it some GPS data by driving around and sample searches.\u00a0 So far it is showing only the weather. A future blog post coming.<\/p>\n

Google Now. The cards will change to cater to your needs.<\/p><\/div>\n

Battery life, initial gut feel is a bit shorter.\u00a0 The CPU work harder, more juice required.<\/p>\n

Lastly, most importantly,<\/p>\n

YMMV<\/h1>\n
