Wow, this is incredible, I can’t believe that Firefox OS has already available for Samsung Nexus S. Firefox OS is a new mobile Linux OS for smartphone. Since both Android and Firefox OS are using Linux base, so ,running Firefox OS on any android devices are very possible. This “running” Firefox OS on Samsung Nexus S is unofficial version and there is still a lot of broken and not working features with the coding. However, some basic functions like calling and call receiving is working seamlessly so far, 3G and WiFi connectivity also not a problem for now. Does Firefox will finally give a beat on iOS and Android?? No one knows for now but if you wish to have a quick try, probably you can have a quick try on Nexus S as the ROM is available for download now.

I have been using Brainmaster Nexus S ICS ROM for few months. It is time to change to a faster ROM.
