Jelly Bean uses some new Google trickery called &#8220;Project Butter&#8221; that makes everything move much more smoothly and it&#8217;s amazing how more fluid they made this new interface feel on this 2-year-old phone. It also adds Google Now, which is a kind of artificial intelligence personal assistant that in the classic kind of Googlicious borderline-creepy way kind of background learns what you do and where you go and reminds you when you look like you&#8217;re forgetting to do stuff. It basically does what Apple sells with Siri advertising (and notably fails to do in practice), and it&#8217;s actually useful and finally feels like all that PDA lifestyle crap that was oversold in the early 1990s has finally arrived. Finally, I swapped out my 2-year-old battery for a huge double-size monster (that came with a new phone backplate) and now it can run for 15 hours on a single charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I updated my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone by wiping off the Samsung\/Sprint OS and installing CyanogenMod 10, an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean open community replacement.
