I know there are many of you out there that aren't rooted and are unable to partake in all the development with Jelly Bean ROMs. If you're feeling left out and want some Jelly Bean loving, then I have two apps that are available now in the Google Play Store that will give you the look and feel of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The best part of it is that you don't need to be rooted.

Jelly Bean Search Widgets, created by Team Syndicate, brings you the new Jelly Bean search widget to your device. Not only that, you have your choice of nine colors to suit your needs. It's available for any Android device running Android 1.5 and higher.

Next up is the Holo Locker, created by Mobint Software, which is a lock screen replacement based on Jelly Bean. It's available to all devices running Android 2.2 and higher.

Both apps are completely free so hit the break for download links.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

And with that, I have finally eradicated the last visual remnants of TouchWiz from my non-rooted SIII.

  Same here. Although I kind of liked the ripple effects after a few too many drinks!
