HTC G1 auditions CyanogenMod 10, runs Jelly Bean at a snail's pace (video)

![Image][1]

Putting Google's latest candy-coated OS update on the very first Android phone? We've got a guy for that. Jcarrz1, the same wizard from _XDA-Developers_ who [ported Ice Cream Sandwich][2] to the [HTC G1][3], has managed to port a buggy build of CyanogenMod 10 to the handset -- which puts Jelly Bean on the oldest hardware possible. Sadly, the old handset isn't up to [Project Butter's][4] 60FPS interface, but brave tweakers can still use the device's touchscreen for apps, CM10 features and a partially functional [Google Now][5]. WiFi is also up and running, but cellular data is MIA. Check out the video above to see the pre-alpha build in action, or try it out for yourself at the source link below.
