This is not the first time we’ve covered the Baked Black Bean ROM on our website, and it’s certainly not the first, nor the last time we’ll be talking about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Well, like you anticipated, today we’re covering both subjects in the same story as the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean-powered Baked Black Bean ROM is now available for the International GSM version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

The Baked Black Bean ROM combines the best features of the AOKP and CyanogenMod features like widgets, lockscreen shortcuts / calendar / weather, and many other improvements including a custom-designed MMS application. The Google and system apps have been inverted, and you will certainly like all the blacks in this amazing ROM.

It’s also recommended that you backup the data on your smartphone so you can restore them after the procedure is over. Use the steps provided here for that.
