Some Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 users have received the Jelly Bean updates for their phones last Christmas, but some are still waiting for their updates over the air. Though we believe that good things come to those who wait, the Android Community believes that a little innovation won't hurt anyone. This is why XDA Developers member incubus26jc made use of the VRBLJ1 leak and created an interesting ROM for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 called the JellyWiz ROM.

The JellyWiz ROM is rooted, deodexed, and zipaligned to suit your needs to customize what you see on your screen. The ROM also comes with 15 toggle mods with an extended Power menu as well as Gmail 4.2 and the Android 4.2 keyboard. If you love the Galaxy Note 2 Camera and Gallery, you'll also find them in the latest version of this ROM. Installing the JellyWiz ROM is hassle-free. Simply follow the instructions below and you're good to go.

This guide shows you how to flash JellyWiz ROM for the Galaxy S3 I535.
