How do I know this? Well, I don’t… but you’re supposed to believe everything on the internet, so believe it.
You knew this was coming. As soon as Jelly Bean was announced, hackers got started.

If you’ve got the beans and can’t wait until mid-July for the official build and rollout, continue past the break.
