stock pics rs are out there, but since the base is unofficial and 'leaked', they are all tweaked a little.
Soon the official pics update will be released and you will be able to just get the ota update.
Also, if you look in the development forum you'll see that there is an alpha release that is there, but it is very raw and in early development.
Hope hat helps,
Sean

Yes we will get stable AOSP 4.0, it's in the works.

you have to remember that all the ICS roms out now are leaks and unoffical releases. Once an offical build hits its a tweak and customize frenzy. Thats when you get somethng stable. these roms are just "test" for a more stable rom. Ive seen android 2.1 go through hundreds of different leaks before a stable build hits

I just can't wait for stock ICS! it was great on my nexus s so I know it gonna be a best on this!

They are still in nightly mode. I would suspect a release candidate by the end of the month, with the ota coming in late April.

When to expect stable gingerbread ROMs

I know the 2.3 SDK is out and some builds have popped up showcasing some basic gingerbread features. I am curious as to when we can expect to see stable builds of gingerbread appear that can be used as a daily ROM.
I wasnt in the root and ROM game when Froyo was released so i have no concept of what to expect. Does the release of the Nexus S bring us closer? Will we have to wait for Verizon devices to receive the update?
A few weeks after source is released.
I would say shortly after the source code is released; exactly how fast depends on how much has to be done for it to be made compatible. You will see stock OS and kernels first.. sense will follow much later.
do we know when the source code will be released?
I am pretty sure source the source was releases today for the N 1

Kernel sources are different from the android system that we need
Patience, OP, patience.
If you can't wait, get to work on it!
I am not a huge fan of vanilla android, but I will try out some gingerbread, but I would prefer gingerbread with sense!
I don't think its out of the question to see a daily driver after a system dump of the nexus one/s is pulled.

[Q] Anyone planning on upgrading to Jellybean?

I was just wondering how many other people are already planning to upgrade over to Jellybean once it actually comes out (officially or unofficially). There are a lot of perks with staying stock like stability etc but will miss the functionality and tweakability of custom ROMs.

As soon as there is AOKP for JB - I'm upgrading.
I'll wait a few months to give ample time for all inclusive feedback from the community, and to give the CM team some time to fine tune. But yea, eventually.
As soon as it comes out I'll be swapping! Personally I found the Google images to be perfectly fine to be running as my daily driver and as much as I love my customisations, I won't mind the new features.
Upgrading right away. I don't see a reason why not. Plus it won't take as long for cm to port it over because the code won't be a restart from scratch (compared to gb vs ics)

I personally feel the same as you. I've been using CM9 since I bought my Nexus back in December '11 and I flash nearly every nightly that's released. So keeping with the trend and to stay cutting edge I will upgrade to stock JB until CM10 or whatever it's gonna be called comes out.
Just my 2 cents

Sure I'll go stock and wait for the cyanogen team to update and release a stable version.

As soon as Rascream gets it ill give it a go... I have been in stock, aokp, cm9,eb,paranoid,fh and tried all the kernels franco/trinity /glados/stock with all the roms also got all the apps control for the main kernels trinity/franco/glados and I kept going back to cm9 they do a perfect job and it's a great rom combined with Franco or Linaro franco its a beast getting over 4500 in quadrant at 1600mhz 512mhz gpu and the phone was smooth as the real hell but hey the battery drain at such performance its crazy... so with cpu at 1400 and interactive governor battery was about 15 hours with 4 hours screen, and still buttery smooth... or at least that's what I thought.... until 2 days ago I decided to try a Linaro optimized rom and the name Rascream came up since I'm trying the franco Linaro seemed to be a good idea...
Gentlemans I don't think I'm going back to any other rom after trying this.. he encourage to use it along with trinity Kernel and i gave it the go... now the phone its so smooth that I can't believe it... damn... And the battery over 20 hours with 5 hours screen lol... Well I'd just can't imagine what it will be with jb Linaro optimized and hey I won't ever use non Linaro rom again...
just my opinion and my experience

This. To be honest CM9/MIUI are gonna hold me over till jelly bean starts making its way into the branches. I'm banking on 4.1 being incremental at most anyways so it shouldn't take too long. I really can't see Google revamping again unless they do it for tablet mode only

Well, if it offers improvements in areas that one my phone need to be improved, certainly I will make the early transition, however, I will probably wait until there is a custom ROM and Kernel or two available.
As soon as a stock/rooted version for yakju hits either Google's factory image page or XDA, I'll try it out as soon as I can.
As it seems to be JB will be a point update, basically a polished and tweaked ICS , so stability should not be in question, so i guess as soon as it's officialy released there's no reason not to go for it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm sticking with 4.0.1 yakju for the next week and incrementally updating to 4.0.4. I've had to many problems with random rebooting... so testing different theories out first.
If Jellybean addresses the random reboot issue (still haven't found anything concrete on XDA or other about the potential causes) I'll likely give it a shot right away. Worse case scenario I revert back to my .1 backup (or whichever stable version my phone is running on at the time).
I'm thinking of waiting for a CM. CM9.1 anyone?

Well as soon as I get the update notification... I'll take it. Why wouldn't you? Its not like there are going to be massive bugs or anything. If there's a serious problem it wouldn't be released.

[SPRINT] [ROM] Custom/Stock vs Original Development

What do you guys think of the ROM situation? Favorites? Most hated? Which team deserves my support? Who are these people?
I need more posts so I can talk in the big-boy forums.
Most roms out so far are pretty good! I'm running FreeGS3 v0.0.7 and its superb. also, CyanogenMod10 is really good!
Was running CM9 nightly, then tried CM10, and am now back on stock. Mainly decided to go back to stock after the unofficial announcement that Samsung is prepping and *close* to pushing JB to these devices.

You sure about that? Yeah i wouldn't count on it. The whole "close" thing is almost certainly merely referring to the international models. Carriers still have to take their sweet time bloating it up with their stuff. I'd guess that we'd get it sometime early next year or late q4

Yep some pretty good ROMs out there.. i've been on Blazer for a while now. Gets the job done. It just gives me something to do, escape reality through technology, and some kind of social connection with this badass forum.
Sure wish i could contribute something to the development world though..
Please omit my last post, I can't stand stock ROMs for this device. CM10 = The way to go. just my opinion though
I usually run rooted stock at first then flash a ROM that has things I like in it. I used to be one of those flashaholics back when I had my Evo but not so much any more. So far, I've only flashed 2 ROMs. Rooted my stock when I first got the phone, flashed Blazer ROM 1.3 (updated to 1.6 later), and just last night I flashed AOKP.
I'm really picky when it comes to ROMs. Battery life is huge to me, but I'm a sucker for shiny things like Jelly Bean.
In the past I would stick to ROMs based on the stock ROM, as I felt they had less problems and better battery life. However, CM & JB are hard to leave once you've flashed it. JB just seems right!

Whats not working in CM10,is it daily driver yet?
I been running CM10 as well. Was on blazer Rom for awhile but it's hard going back to TouchWiz after getting a taste of jelly bean.
For me it's good enough as a daily drive but I'm on one of the older builds that had Bluetooth a2dp working although it cause in-call volume control to not work. Currently though on the latest builds, a2dp isn't working.
Other than that, it runs great for most part.
Do these Rom make for a longer battery life? If so what are your battery lifes before/after?

MIUI 4.1(Jelly Bean)?

I tried searching Google, Miui.us, and on here and I couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know if there are plans or it is being worked on to release a JB Miui rom?

I read somewhere that they are working on it, but I have not found any dates. Some forums said it should only take a couple weeks, but that was posted more than a month ago.
I would like to know how true it would be to the actual jelly bean. As I understand MIUI operated from 2.3 and 4. So does it contain parts from ICS, GB and so on? Or is it simply a mod on ICS? And once it contains JB, will it be a JB rom. Or a hybrid.
Either way.. I too would like to know when MIUI is JB ready.
I am currently using MIUI with a custom kernal and I like it. I am wondering if and when I can use a JB kernal or if I should just leave it as is.
EDIT - now using Xenonhd and air kernal for JB. loving it.
Miui is normally last to the game anyway because of heavy theming!

Pure AOSP Rom?

Any possibility of a pure JB AOSP Rom? Are all the Rom makers waiting for the JB update from Samsung?
Check out the original development section for cm10 and aokp. Both are jelly bean based aosp ROMs. Unless I am mistaken.

weird question- what's the difference between nightlies and previews. i understand that nightlies are something that's worked on every night. i think?

The preview builds were released before the nightlies started. They ended on 8/14, and Nightlies started. Basically the preview builds didn't show up on the cyanogenmod site, and were just for people who didn't mind something a bit less stable. Now that nightlies are coming out, they are (generally) more stable and have more complete features. especially the 8/26 build. Hope this helps!
