Owners of the latest Google phone can now download these goodies

Samsung’s latest flagship Android-based handset, the Galaxy S III, comes to the market with a hefty load of goodies loaded on top of Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich platform.

Designed specifically for the new device, these new features can be downloaded and installed on other handsets as well, including the Galaxy Nexus, the latest Google phone out there.

A XDA-Developers forum member managed to get these features out of a recently leaked Galaxy S III ROM, and has ported them to the older smartphone.

The trick is that this feature add-on can be loaded only on top of CyanogenMod 9 software. Those who want to get a taste of them will need to flash a CM9 ROM on their Galaxy Nexus handsets before that. However, chances are that it would work on other ROMs as well.
