The Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) ROM has been ported on Samsung Galaxy S, courtesy XDA Senior Member nasif619. The Galaxy S has already received the CyanogenMod 10 based on Jelly Bean that reportedly works "quiet well", smoother than Ice Cream Sandwich based ROMs. Additionally, the device has obtained the RemICS-JB ROM that features user interface, sounds and wallpaper just like the Galaxy S3.
