I've rooted my CDMA Nexus and flashed to the leaked stock 4.0.4 update.
Will it be possible to update at all using normal methods or will I need to flash via rootkit again?

Root is no problem. A non Stock recovery is, as well as a custom ROM. But you can always flash it manualy in stead of doing through the OTA process.

This is like Best ROM or kernel threads. There is no BEST. Just try them both and see which one you like it. However, I did do a TWRP and CWM comparison thread. If you're interested, PM me.

CWM- old faithful
TWRP- extra ranch dressing
..but as stated, there is no real best. Both are freakin sweet.

No.
Easiest method is to use Goo Manager, as stated.
Or you can find the .img and fastboot flash it.

Yes. If you have the stock recovery

I'm rooted with stock recovery and received OTA. Before I proceeded with the install, I removed the one additional app I had placed in system\apps (I heard any mods in there may prevent successful installation of OTA). The install of 4.2.1 went fine. Although it seems I've lost root. I can no longer mount the system dir to put that one app back. Easy enough to re-root.

Just make sure you back up your internal storage if you need to unlock the bootloader again. I learned the hard way that this wipes all of your data.
how to flash custom kernel without connect to pc?

via custom recovery, I believe it's the only way.

That's how 99% of users flash kernels anyways. I usually do as that gives me a zip on my phone to flash back to a different kernel in case of emergency.

and why is this on general?
seriously if u needed to start a thread for this question u shouldnt be flashing

While I agree with why this is here LOL, just find a kernel using the XDA App from the market, go to the beginning of the thread to find download link, then reboot recovery and flash new kernel you just downloaded. Make sure you wipe cache and davlik before flashing. Good Luck.
Just installed this Carbon ROM on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus device and the load screen has been trying to start up for about 10 mins. any idea what could be going on and how I can fix this. Or is this normal for a new ROM to take so long to open?

Clean install. May need to flash binaries if trying to use 4.2.2 kernel.

Thanks man! I actually found a very primitive way of doing it and my phone is working and looks absolutely gorgeous (but don't tell my girl I said that). I basically forced the gapps.zip file into my downloads from my computer into my phone and it fixed the issue. No harm no foul. Thanks y'all:good: !
