[WARN]I take absolutely no credit for any of the incredible work any of the developers did here. I am merely Prometheus, bringing fire to the masses in an easy to understand way. If you appreciate their work, please thank them in their home threads/donate to the cause!
Also, flashing is serious business and may void your warranty and cause unsightly events like demonic possession and bricking. You do everything at your own assumed risk

[NOTE]
Hot on the heels of Google's I/O 2012, attending developers received a bunch of goodies--perhaps none more important (to us) than free Galaxy Nexii complete with a Jelly Bean preview OTA. Some developers decided to port that over for us (Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners), and those ports are listed here.
Port #1 - Vicious Jelly Bean 4.1 by Team Liquid
This was the second JB port and the one I'm personally on as of this post (3:39pm EST for those keeping score at home). It is stock and it has been modified to ensure stability and workability on our devices.
[INFO]Vicious Jelly Bean is found here. Please visit this link for the latest downloads, tips, and tricks.
[/INFO]
Port #2 - Pure Jelly Bean 4.1
Because the first two ports are adding bits and pieces from other roms (and starting to dip seriously into actual custom rom territory, but we'll let that slide for now), here is a link to the purest 4.1 port out there. You can flash the WiFi fix, or you can ignore it--your call.
[INFO]The link for pure Jelly deliciousness is here. Again, follow the thread and give credit where credit is due![/INFO]
Port #3 - MoDaCo LTE Port by ejlax/MoDaCo
This rom is essentially a stock port with two added features--a custom kernel and a custom reboot menu so you can get to the recovery a bit easier (unless you are a Terminal enthusiast!).
[INFO]For this port, please follow along here. As usual, please read the OP carefully, always make your backups, always wipe when instructed (or in doubt), and always thank these awesome devs that have turned a GSM backup into amazingness.[/INFO]
Port #4 - Razor's Jelly by razorloves
Another port borne from the idea of developing the stock "Jelly Bean" rom, Razor's port affords the flasher yet another item to select in their nightly flash-programming.
[INFO]To download and install Razor's port, see their OP here. Be sure to give credit where credit is due.[/INFO]
Port #5 - JellyBAMF by TeamBAMF
A straight GSM to Toro port by TeamBAMF.
[INFO]To download and install TeamBAMF's port, see their OP here. Be sure to give credit where credit is due![/INFO]
Christmas came early for us Nexiians and Jelly Bean source dropped a few days ago. Here are a few of the roms that crept up early, including some names (Jelly Belly, Vicious) that should be familiar to you all by now.
AOSP #1 - Jelly Belly by jakeday
Perhaps the most stable of the ports, jakeday wasted no time in transforming Jelly Belly to a fully source-based rom.
[INFO]In order to download and install Jelly Belly, please visit this thread. Be sure to follow the thread for installation procedures, particularly since GAPPs are now separated from the rom. Also, give credit and thanks where due, these devs are working very hard to give us a taste of the Jelly![/INFO]
AOSP #2 - Bugless Beast by Peter Alfonso
Peter Alfonso has a line of dedicated fans that want one thing--a stock experience with absolutely no hangups. Bugless Beast is exactly that, so if you're looking for a pure AOSP rom with no bugs (get it?), try out BB.
[INFO]We have our own support thread for Bugless Beast here. Be sure to follow any and all instructions within the thread, and if you have any questions, to search there first.[/INFO]
[WARN]My apologies for "bogging" this down with neat little graphics, however this one is absolutely important.
If you have never flashed a rom before, have never unlocked your phone before, and have never rooted, Jelly Bean may not be the best...introduction to such things. It's not that I'm trying to warn you against its awesomeness, but it's because this is highly experimental.
See, most roms are built from "source." Google releases the source, devs go crazy. This is built from a nandroid--a backup--of a device that received an OTA. Thus, to say the least, all of these ports are highly experimental. Weird, crazy, and terrifying problems have plagued earlier ports, and while some are ironed out, some remain. All of these ports tend to do something to the data, may it be restructuring how it is stored or simply (and horrifyingly) corrupting your files. The only way out, often, is to use "advanced" techniques like fastboot, or at the very worst, ODIN.
If you are not familiar with fastboot and flashing/restoring stock images I would hesitate to take the plunge. If you are, then you should have a decent escape plan if your phone takes a turn for the worst. Regardless, the risk is yours so please, please, please be careful.[/WARN]
Unless the rom's thread says differently, this is how you want to install a Jelly Bean port:

.[/WARN]Unless the rom's thread says differently, this is how you want to install a Jelly Bean port:
[TIP]
- Download the relevant zip(s) and place them on your phone's SDcard.
- Reboot into Recovery--CWM or TWRP.
- Wipe CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE.
- Create a BACKUP/NANDROID of your current rom.
- Wipe the phone completely--data, cache, dalvik, and system.
- Install/flash the zips. If there are more than one, make sure you know in which order to flash them.
- Reboot your device and be patient.
- Wait for a minute or two when you get to the "Welcome" screen.
- Set up your device and eat some Jelly Beans .
For more installation tips, please see this XDA post that states exactly what you must do to flash JB. It also has some common fixes.
