The custom ROMs themselves will be updated to the latest Android releases as they come out.

If you mean OTA (Over The Air) updates then no you will not. In order for OTA update to install you need the stock recovery, not Clockwork.
However once the updates are released the developer of the Rom you are using will update also and you can then flash the latest version.

4.0.3 upgrade questions.

I'm on the LTE version of the nexus, running 4.0.2 rooted and unlocked. Will I still receive the update or do I have to flash it?? If I have to flash it where can I download it at?? I want to use a custom kernel but it won't work with my version...confused.

If you download it OTA then you will lose root. To retain root and custom kernals you will need to manually flash a rooted version by downloading it and using CWM.

You'll need to sit tight and wait for this. Or just flash a custom rom developed from 4.0.3.
I know that, I was telling the original poster that there was no 4.0.3 upgrade available yet.

There are 4.0.3 AOSP builds, grab one!
according some posts, you will not receive future OTA update if you have custom rom installed, even AOSP build.
I just want a stock deodexed 4.0.3 rom. No changes no mods. Does that exist?

ICS 4.04 Update

Hii everyone,
I had a couple of questions with regards to OTA google updates for android. For one thing, is I updated my Galaxy nexus GSM phone manually using MULTIPLE sources with hopes of the OTA update and I keep refreshing the update and it says no updates available. So now I decided to do it manually again, and I keep reading about having to put everything back to normal in-order for the update to work.
Can someone please enlighten me on how I can turn back the clock and put the stock radio and bootloader, so I can manually update to 4.0.4. Also how I can save my current phone setting, as far as widgets, contacts and ringtones are concerned, so I can have them back when I update.
Or should I just not bother with anything and that the OTA will eventually arrive?
The ota leak 4.0.4 is for the LTE version (Verizon only) not for the GSM

Omg please read before you brick your phone. The leaked 4.0.4 OTA is for the CDMA version and cannot be applied to the GSM model!

THANKS GUYS!!!
But look in the Dev section, there is a ROM from MoDaCo... it is a built from the 4.0.4 leak... but for GSM nexus works great...

Though it doesn't include all of 4.0.4, just the parts that are applicable to both machines. If you're on GSM I think its one of the only ways to go right now.

I still cant get the OTA update...
Ok, can someone explain to me what needs to be done for me to get the OTA update? So all i have to do is, go to setting, system update and download 4.04. I have GSM galaxy nexus, running 4.02, kernel 3.0.8 and built number ICL53F.
Thank you.

[Q] OTA 4.0.4 update for Android Revolution on Galaxy Nexus GSM

I have rooted my Galaxy Nexus and flashed Android Revolution 2.1.5 (4.0.2) and have been using for past 2 weeks.
Today I received the notification for 4.0.4 OTA update.
I was wondering if I can just accept the update or wait for the developer to release new version of custom rom based on 4.0.4
You can't, an shouldn't, accept any OTA when you're on a custom ROM. I'm extremely surprised the ROM maker isn't blocking OTAs....

Thanks for your response.
I had the same understanding. Have always been a CM user and so never had OTA experience.
In this case, developer for ARHD 2.1.5 states that it is basically the stock rom with tweaks and improvements.
So I was confused when I saw the OTA notification today morning and thought that since the ROM is basically the stock rom, maybe it can be updated through OTA.
I guess I will wait for ARHD to update, or for CM to release a Stable / RC.
He did update it. Search on rootzwiki ARHD 3.0.0

I also realized it later when I was reading some user comments on the ROM thread. Earlier I had only checked the XDA thread which was still not updated.
Anyway, have downloaded and flashed 4.0.4 goodness :-D
Mybe you can get to http://code.google.com/intl/zh-CN/android/nexus/images.html.
There are some of rom for GN.

JRN84D Stock question

Will anyone that has installed the stock JRN84D ROM from this thread, know if it will update OTA when subsequent updates come from Google?
I've asked in the thread, but the answer has got lost somewhere in the mire I'd imagine.
I'd assume so, considering its the same build as the Google I/O attendees are getting. Would assume they would OTA them, but they may expect that because they're developers, they would update themselves.
Nobody knows apart from El Goog.
As I understand it, no. You only get ota's if you're on the most recent official stock rom. You will only be able to install the ota if you have not changed anything on the official rom. I may be wrong but from experience that's what I think

Themes?

So I have root access and cwm already installed, but am not running any particular ROM atm. Are there any sweet Roms out now optimized for the N7 or ones on the way? I've heard of cynogenmod but from my understanding cm10 is still in alpha/ beta stages.

In addition, since I already am rooted I am not allowed system updates, correct? And if this is the case, why are my notifications being pushed with system update info? (Im on 4.1 and keep being notified of 4.1.1)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I personally think paranoid android is a great Rom for the N7. read the first post in its thread under original development for feature explanations. You won't get update notifications once you run a custom Rom.
Updating now will get rid of root, but you can get voodoo ota to help get it back.
