I can't believe this phone still exist

At first I thought 4.2 was a small update, but my N7 needed to download 200+MB, which is like half of the ROM, so, yeah, I feel for Google that they don't support this phone on 4.2. I would still like to have the gesture keyboard though, hopefully they can publish that as a normal app.
Yeah, this is really really funny, I have a fear that it will never will! They are probably going to skip this and release when its version 4.3 or 5.0, it has happened before.

hye guys

Android 4.2 port... Not ready for daily usage and I noticed battery drain very fast

I am looking forward to upgrade my phone to Nexus 4 too , should be a good upgrade.

I don't think anyone would want a Nexus S used set, my battery like a bit weaker than last time (in 3G mode), maybe due to Jelly Bean or battery aging, anyone face the same issue?

this rom better http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...843301&page=138
but have to wait until it is ready

There's a thread in xda that claims ICS have almost double the battery of JB, for me I am using Green Power right now, doubled my battery as well. The main drainer is the 3G, in fact WIFI is a lot better than 3G. Maybe it have got to do with UMobile.

How's the performance so far? personally I find the phone to crawl a bit in JB, won't want to make it even slower by up-ing to 4.2. CM 10.1 should be just around the corner.

This is the best AOSP 4.2 for Nexus S so far... Been using it since last week. Fast, smooth, stable and almost 100% working...

Wow, this thread still alive.  Recently i bought xperia sola. Aside from battery fast draining, i realized my nexus is smoother than sola even sola comes with dual core. Currently using  cm 10 stable with go launcher on nexus. Maybe its time to let go my nexus. Thinking to get note 2 or s3+ nexus 7 for next upgrade.

100% working?

Another variant of 4.2.1 ROM available now at XDA Developer

1. Jellyshot
2. Rasbean 4.2.1

Enjoy...

Anyone tried CM10.1? I still on CM10 and like the batt life and the stability...hopefully someone can share some experience after flashing to CM10.1. Thanks.
