Hey guys, I have a galaxy nexus and I was wondering if there was a franco kernel for 4.0.1/4.0.2. I'd like to keep the stock ROM and just get that kernel. I only see the 4.0.3 one..but I want to stay on Stock, I don't like custom ROMs.
I found many franco kernels but i'm not sure which one to use.
On a separate note, I'm currently on 4.0.1 and waiting for 4.0.2. If i root using the GNtoolkit, does it automatically upadte me to 4.0.2? (I did not want to make a separate thread for for this question)
Thanks!!
Don't think so
I guess you're right! now I have to find a good 4.0.3 ROM for the kernel
Personally I use aokp, definitely happy with it.

Download the GN Official Update Checker from the market and run it. If your phone is "yakju" then you will get 4.0.2 soon, but since you are still waiting for it I'm guessing you aren't yakju. You can use the Toolkit to flash yakju with the stock factory image from Google. Rooting is separate.

I bought a galaxy nexus from newegg and checked the version to be Yakjuzs. It loads an Asian language by default when the phone is switched on for the first time
I still have the 4.0.1
Basebad Version - I9250XXKK1
Build Number - ITL41F.I9250ZSKKB
Has anybody with similar specifications received the 4.0.2 update?
I do the *#*#2432546#*#* several times a day but no luck!
I'm currently using the phone only on WiFi and without a SIM card.
same build, no update
I'm considering switching to yakju build
Still haven't rooted a Nexus phone?
You're doing it wrong.

Even yakju is still only on 4.0.2 where as other phones and tablets are on much newer builds namely Nexus S and Galaxy Tab..
I think google forgot about their flagship phone already lol.

I doubt it. The 4.0.3 update isn't large enough for a large scale deployment, but really...buying a Nexus phone and not rooting it is like buying a Ferrari but only going 20MPH..
odd, my yakjuzs nexus came with 4.0.2 and baseband version - I9250XXKK6 out of the box, meaning there is actually an upgrade out there i guess.
IMO 4.0.2 is not worth it, neither is waiting for the official 4.0.3 roll out - you're better off sparing yourself the wait unlocking/rooting then flashing a custom 4.0.3 rom. the difference is so huge that it's embarrassing, frankly speaking

Agreed. 4.0.3 is soo much better and smoother than 4.0.2 theres no point in waiting for an OTA upgrade
Whats bugging me is that the Nexus S ALREADY has an official stock 4.0.3 rom and the motorola xoom has an OFFICIAL IML77 Rom out right now.
Google should be putting out the latest builds to the nexus before anyone else gets it.

custom roms based on the official OTA will be miles better anyway, so why bother?

The Nexus S OTA has been stopped, and the Xoom ICS OTA is a beta build you have to sign up for.
Google will push the 4.0.3 OTA when its ready. If you're ancy you can just root. But I understand if you dont want to.

Excuse me, but does anybody know what was the reason for stoping OTA for SNS? I flashed it manually same second I saw info on the interwebs and it runs pretty good. No big complains.
My gNexus is ("was", 'used to be') a yakjuzs ...
After reading about the lack of OTA I downloaded the update from the official google website and installed it 20 minutes or so ...
Works nice but I couldn´t find any improvements ... people say that franco's 4.0.3 (#12) changes the device from water to wine ...
If you decide to update to 4.0.2 yakzu, just one advice: mine got stuck in a loading loop forever ... until I did a factory reset (from the fastboot mode).

I was wondering If you need to install a kernel that has the same version has the rom build? I.e install franco's kernel version 4.03 with my current stock rom 4.03.
Yes, they must match. This is why franco.Kernel cannot be used with ARHD, since ARHD is built on 4.0.2 and franco is using 4.0.3.
Does this answer your question?

Yes, I actually have 4.02 rom, but am thinking about installing 4.04, but dont see any compatible kernels, unless you know of one?
Nothing available that I am aware of, since 4.0.4 is so new. I would imagine it will be some time before we see anything other than Stock kernel running on 4.0.4. Of course i'm on GSM hardware so I haven't done much investigation on the LTE.

Hey all, I'm new Samsung Galaxy Nexus User so I need little bit help, hope someone can help me!
I I have bought Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.0.1 ICS and I updated it to 4.0.2 in about phone section in settings! and it does not find newer update for it!
Is there any official update.zip for 4.0.2 to update it to 4.0.3?
I bought this phone from Finland and it's not Verizon 4G LTE phone!
If I update it to 4.0.3 then can I keep my apps and all other? (dalvik vm must cleaned..?)
and Does 4.0.3 have Estonian language?
(I don't want to brick that phone so that's why I am asking help..
+ why Gameloft games is not working on Galaxy Nexus? /:
and what is the best and most stable + newest kernel for Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks if someone can help me!
The latest OTA from Google on the GSM Nexus is 4.0.2, hope that helps!
If you want 4.0.3, you'll have to go the custom rom route.

Yes, it is a known fact that rooting requires you to "oem unlock" you phone... which clears all the data on the phone, including the internal storage... hope you read that before proceeding...
4.0.3 was never published as an official update...
Not everyone got/gets the 4.0.4 OTA update...
And if you have the CDMA Galaxy Nexus... all updates will come from Google by they will be co-branded by Verizon (i.e., they will have Verizon proprietary files needed for CDMA/LTE)... so you cannot get an "official" ICS update without Verizon involved...
Hi guys. I'm rooted and running gummy Rom. My question is that what happens if jelly bean comes out? Do I need to unroot to get the update?
Please answer kindly.

With custom ROMs it all depends on the developers, there is a better chance of getting JB with aftermarket ROMs than there is going through a carrier like Verizon. (GSM version should be instant)
Most serious developers (Like Gummy) will more than likely be updating the Nexus first. So I personally wouldn't go back to stock, unless for some reason the updates are taking too long.

Thank you for your response.
And in the settings there's a "check for update" option so maybe I could use that?
But yea like you said I wouldn't go back to stock

I wouldn't recommend it, because it will be looking for things that aren't in place, and you'll probably just end up getting a nasty message in recovery during the installation which could potentially corrupt your current ROM.

OTA updates are for STOCK ROMs ONLY. An OTA update will NOT install on a custom ROM.
You either have to flash a stock ROM, update and stick with stock, or wait for the dev to update Gummy to the latest version.
Hi guys. I'm from Brazil and the Galaxy Nexus is named Galaxy X around here, but it's the usual GSM thing that is out for AT&T. Anyway, I'm running stock ICS (4.0.2) and I checked Internet and discovered that several people are already running Jelly Bean due an OTA update by Google. But when I check if there are any updates on the phone, it just tells that it is updated. My question is: is it alright or I am missing an update? Should I root and use CM10? Will it take too long to get stable? Thank you, greetings from Brazil!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate try this and tell us what is says
A little info. You could flash a Google stock image or choose one of the numerous custom ROMs available, only you can deside which is right for you.

Only yakju and takju builds of GSM Galaxy Nexuses are updated by Google, Galaxy X has a yakjuvs build and is updated by Samsung. Samsung promissed end of August as a deadline for JB on yakjuvs (no 4.0.4 for yakjuvs).
If you don't want to wait, there are a ton of tutorials explaining how to flash a factory image, just get the jelly beans factory image and do it, but, be aware that you will loose all data in your phone (and by all, I mean ALL data, including "sdcard" data). If you don't want to lose all your data, cross your fingers and hope that Samsung deliver what they've promissed...
If you still need to ROOT and are worried about losing your data you can use the Wug's Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit.
