Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the Samsung Galaxy S II (CyanogenMod 10)

2012-07-31
hey guys it's Brandon min and in front pocketnow.com the Samsung Galaxy s2 is still one of the best phones out there and we're talking about the s2 not the s3 it's super thin super light it comes in a variety of sizes and shapes and configurations and best of all it is super fast now what happens when you take jellybean and put it on an already fast device Samsung will be coming out with jellybean for the galaxy s2 most likely this year but you can get jellybean now if you want to make your Galaxy S 2 even faster so in this video we're gonna talk about a CyanogenMod 10 preview running on galaxy s2 let's check it out now we've already shown you preview builds of CyanogenMod 10 jelly bean for the HTC One X the samsung galaxy s3 and the samsung galaxy note and we'll put links at the top of the video here so you can jump back because those three devices have very far along builds especially the One X on the galaxy s3 if you have either of those devices I highly recommend you root your phone put on a custom bootloader and get the CyanogenMod 10 preview because it is blazing fast on the note it wasn't as blazing fast and the same can be said here on the galaxy s2 it's definitely quick definitely good enough to use as your daily driver but as we're going to see in a few moments it's it's it still has some work left so here we're flick flicking through the app tray that's fast and responsive just some small details to point out we're gonna bring out the One X over here which as mentioned is a little bit more far along if we open up the app tray at the same time watch the difference okay so the One X was much faster going back to the home screen much faster yes the One X is a quad-core processor but it just goes to show that also the software's not as far along and I really don't think that the quad-core processor has much to do with how fast a folder opens for games maybe but the point is that the CyanogenMod 10 preview here for the galaxy s 2 is not as far along but still plenty good so we are going to go into the web browser ok and we're going to go to engadget.com the keyboard is nice and responsive we're to load the desktop view and loading butter flip down the page and just like we saw on the other jellybean builds everything is already there it loads it in fast it doesn't show you any white space or any checker boards I mean this thing flies and we can go into portrait and portrait does work or orientation change because in the galaxy note cm10 preview it did not work and let's go back into porch it's kind of easier to see the page in that view let's zoom in on some text see how long it takes to clear up pretty fast there so probably about half a second who's keeping track well we are so web browsing is definitely very good that's going to pocket now real quick we also have some complex graphics on that site so we can take a look at how the galaxy s2 is handling it zoom in on the page a little bit of whites white happening there again so it's it's it still has a little bit ways to go before it is as fast as the 1x in the galaxy s3 assuming it can never get that fast because it's got slower hardware but it's pretty darn good so galaxy s2 run Chile being on your phone if you've got a galaxy s2 it's definitely faster than even the release candidates for CyanogenMod 9 in our opinion we'll put links in the description so you can download this particular rom these are Knightley's so you get updates about every night really that bring new functionality and new stability to the operating system so you definitely want to keep up on those if you want the latest in grace if you liked this video please give us a thumbs up let us know what your arm you're running but if you're gonna leave a comment drop the comment over on pocketnow.com where the actual article is because that's where we look at the comments the comments on youtube just come too fast too furious it's difficult for us to keep up so anyway thanks for commenting and thanks for watching that's it for now bye bye
