Another Jelly Bean build for Galaxy S3, now you can refresh your Galaxy with Jelly Bean with no trouble, dress up your Galaxy S3 with SuperNexus custom ROM that gives you Vanilla Android experience, it’s very stable custom ROM. It’s completely AOSP ROM that based on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, which means, it will give you fully stock Jelly Bean experience, thanks to recognized XDA developer and contributor Faryaab.
The SuperNexus contains no bloatware but has number of useful apps such as new CyanogenMod kernel, all Jelly Bean features and apps like the Google Now app, smarter keyboard app, new notification bar, improved camera app, new search features and more, as I said above that the ROM gives you stock Jelly Bean look to your Galaxy S3, it other words, it will turn your Galaxy S3 into Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean.
It’s pre-rooted custom ROM that already has Deodexed and BusyBox apps. It features EXT4 file system optimizations, better boot animation performance, improved power menu, smart dialer, lengthy APN & SPN List, allowed any File-Type to be downloaded and installation, and much more.

Hey,
Thanks for the great review.
I have been in a small dilemma.
Whether to buy the Samsung S3 i9300(will be rooted with SuperNexus) or the LG Nexus 4.
In case you have had the chance to use and compare both, can you suggest something to me please?

Dear the Samsung Galaxy S3 is packed with really powerful specs and currently runs the Android 4.1, it gives me a great experience, on the other hand the LG Nexus 4 also offers impressive specs and runs Android 4.2 while it’s available for super-low price, it’s a world-class smartphone with a low price tag. I love my S3, it’s champion of 2012, but I can’t ignore the Nexus 4 due to specs, latest OS and low price. If you love explore Android and want to use a smartphone that almost always runs latest Android version, try the Nexus 4.
