While most of us won't mind, some of us do appreciate and want responsive software with cool startup animation and smooth screen transitions. We'd love it even more if it received over-the-air updates. And, if you're a proud owner of the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100, I'm sure you have been dying for Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to land on your download pile. Since Android 4.1.2 updates for the Galaxy S2 are reportedly going to roll out any time this month, keeping our fingers crossed can't keep us from checking out cool Jelly Bean-based ROMs to suit our modding needs.
Luckily for us one of the members from the XDA Developers Forum, westcrip, has unleashed Resurrection Remix version 3.1.2. With this ROM, you can skip waiting for the Android 4.1.2 rollout.
With a touch of AOKP, CyanogenMod 10, and the original Remix ROM, you are sure to have cool start-up animation and smooth transitions in your hands. There are still some force close issues for the Camera and Gallery apps. The developers are still looking into fixing these small snags, so keep posted.
This guide shows you how to flash Resurrection Remix ROM for the Galaxy S2 I9100.
