Jelly Bean Running On The Transformer Prime Thanks To Developers

image

The Transformer Prime was the first quad-core device and Asus has committed to updating it to Android 4.1 but why wait when developers can get it done much faster. Bumbledroid has posted two videos of 4.1.1 running on the TF201 that can be seen below. Bubledroid is part of the AndroidRoot.mobi team and he also brought CM9 to the device. This is exciting for me since I own a Prime and am dying to get a taste of Jelly Bean. As we all know the first rule of CyanogenMod in NO ETA’S. For now these videos are all we have until it gets released.

About Tyler Maciaszek

I started out as a Blackberry user and once that phone was stolen I went to Radio Shack looking at the HD2. Blackberry wasn't cutting it and admittedly I didn't know much about technology, or Android at that point so I looked at the phone with the biggest screen. I'm a media guy and I like to have it mobile. At that point the HD2 had a massive screen and that's exactly what I wanted. Immediately when I got there the manager talked me out of getting a windows device and talked me into Android. I didn't know much about CPUs, Android versions, or what a good spec sheet even looked like. I settled with the Samsung Sidekick and immediately began to hate Android. Probably from the ugly skin and the terrible specs that device had. I started looking how to make the device better and found XDA. That's when it all changed. I started learning about rooting, and flashing. From there I would go on to come across Android websites. How I found Land of Droid was through Twitter. I used #android once and John mentioned me asking if I would like to write for an Android blog. I was hesitant at first but I began to immediately love it. I am now a huge technology fan in all aspects not just mobile. Now when looking for a device I will now know that there are more to specs than a screen size.
