Install Sony Xperia S LT26 Android 4.1.2 JellyBeer ROM

How to install android 4.1.2 jelly based JellyBeer custom ROM on Sony Xperia S LT26? Now you come to the right place. Every unlocked bootloader user can install this ROM. It’s a hybrid firmware, mainly based on the CyanogenMod10 and few AOKP and Paranoid features. Like other ROM, BellyBeer comes without the Google’s applications and services, so you have to install the Gapps zip file.

As I mention earlier you have to unlock your Xperia S bootloader, you can follow my this tutorial. JellyBeer comes with its own kernel and it includes a custom recovery. This ROM has three different user interfaces (UI) mode phone, Phablet and tablet are them. Moreover it includes more customizations. If you’re searching highly customizable CM10 this is it. This ROM developed by the XDA forum [vertigo].
