Are there any phones new or budget that run Jellybean stable ish that would be a step up from the G300? I looked at Nexus S but doesn't seem much of an upgrade. Had the chance at a cheap Sensation XE but jellybean ports still have a few major issues.

Any ideas?

The Jiayu g3 is scheduled to have a JB update. Maybe you could buy one of those.

Really hard to beat the Nexus 4. I look at everything else and it just makes me want to buy it.

Edit: I know you said mid range but the Nexus 4 is more or less mid range cost even though the specs seriously up there.

ZTE Porting Tool



Ever wondered how to Port ROMs from one Phone to another? Well it isn't that easy if you do it manually. But, luckily, there is a simple tool, which makes it easy for you to port ROMs. Curious?

Agree with Cyda, for now nothing can beat the price/JB of the Nexus. And to add, it's made by Google so they will most likely continue support for the device/OS.

The down side is that it doesn't have a SD card slot, so... what you buy it what you get...

JB just came out on the Jiayu so that might be a good choice.

Putbinoot also made a tutorial on how to root the Jiayu, and install CWM recovery on it.

People are really too much obsessed with Jelly Bean. For me its not much better then ICS.
