Install Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy Nexus I9250 with Android Revolution HD ROM [GUIDE]

Android Revolution HD ROM has hogged the limelight as the leading custom ROM for older devices, ever since the early days of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) release. The popular custom ROM makes a grand comeback with the release of Android Revolution HD 8.0, which is based on official Android 4.1.2 JZO54K Jelly Bean firmware.

Despite a flurry of custom ROM Jelly Bean upgrades already available for the international version Galaxy Nexus I9250, the Jelly Bean craze does not seem to subside. With due credit to XDA Developers member mike1986, the Android Revolution HD ROM brings a fast, stable and bloatware-free Jelly Bean experience to the user.
