A CynogenMod 10 (CM10) Android 4.1.1 Nightly Jelly Bean custom firmware has now become available for Nexus S with model number I9020, reports Team Android. This custom firmware can be flashed through the Clockwork recovery. Since the ROM is in its development stage and will take a few more months to release, bugs are likely.

The good news for the Android community is that the MIUI team has updated its code base to Jelly Bean. This Jelly Bean based ROM will not be available for all devices but work only on Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. Users can go to the official site to know more about the changelog the ROM brings.
