A quick jaunt around the XDA Developers Forum and you can see, as plain as day, that there is just no shortage of ways you can enjoy Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Every developer has his/her own recipe for this delicious treat. If you're into the sweet original taste of vanilla, browse around and you're sure to find a ROM that you'll love. If you like the darker things in life, however, you can enjoy some black indulgence on your Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250 with the help of the BAKED Black Bean ROM.

Black Bean 6 was built from the ground up using Android 4.1.1 before the developers gave it a twist with cherrypicks from a lot of great ROMs. You get AOKP's toggles and CyanogenMod's Power widgets, lockscreen shortcuts, lockscreen weather, and lockscreen calendar. Of course, there are some BAKED goodies in there, too, such as a fully customized MMS app and all the system apps and Google apps inverted for your black pleasure.

This guide shows you how to flash BAKED Black Bean ROM for the Galaxy Nexus I9250.
