If you just can't wait for the official [Jelly Bean 4.2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-bumps-android-to-4-2-keeps-jelly-bean-moniker/) update to land on your [Galaxy Nexus](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/24/galaxy-nexus-hspa-review/), you can at least do a pretty good job of faking it. Last week saw the camera and gallery apps from the latest iteration of Google's OS [ported to the Nexus](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/31/android-4-2-camera-gallery-ported-galaxy-nexus-4-1-1/), and this week, Twitter user @KillDroidHack has done the honors of releasing another cluster. All Android 4.2 core apps -- such as Gmail, Maps, Calendar and the like -- are now available in APK form, as well as the newest version of [Google Wallet](http://www.engadget.com/tag/googlewallet). So, if you want the fresh set on your Nexus and have the loading know-how, head over to the Dev-Host links below to find the files you need.
