I'm on stock 4.0.2 rom and kernel. The launcher FCs about once a day and the UI isn't very smooth, so I ran a benchmark and the score I got was even lower than the nexus S (I ran it several times even after reboots).
How do I fix this? I don't want to lose my apps and settings, mainly because I don't have much time to redownload and set everything up.
The bootloader is unlocked and I have a nandroid backup of this rom.

Also, have you tried checking for an OTA update for your phone (4.0.3/4.0.4)?

If you like stock then go for stock 4.0.4 IMM76i or try other roms here tools to get started, with stock if you dont modify stock files included with the factory image you will be able to get OTA updates as soon as they are available.. Meaning your phone will be a yakju and supported for updates straight from Google and not waiting for carriers
Edit: and Yeah titanium backup will save your apps but be becarefull to just backup user apps + data and not any system app

I would actually recommend he upgrade to 4.0.4 stock rather than flash a custom ROM. He just wants the stock ROM to work... maybe we should start there? There's no reason to automatically push everyone to a custom ROM if they don't decide themselves that the pros/cons work out for them.
And OP, don't pay attention to benchmarks. They mean nothing.

Since there is only one stock image available to download, I assume it's compatible with all versions of the Gnex (I have gsm unlocked) right? and the guide I found lists flashing the bootloader and radio image as optional. What's the difference?

Yes, I'm going for stock 4.0.4. I had CM7 on my old phone, but to be honest the only features I miss are the notification switch toggles and the ability to skip songs while holding the volume buttons. And I can live without those features. ICS is actually pretty complete, and the UI is a pleasure to look at.
Thanks for the help,
Edit: Flashed 4.0.4 and wow is this smooth, no lag whatsoever. The UI feels so much better. 4.0.2 feels broken now.

Happy to see a stock ROM again. Hoping this can give me the battery life that it should have.
Two issues: I keep getting android.process.media crashing - appears to stop when I receive a notification. Or go to change notification sounds / change volume from the Settings menu.
And two: I have a voicemail sitting there that doesn't exist. The icon won't go away either.

No overclocking with this stock ROM. If you want OC, check out Virtuous G-Lite. That's stock with OC capabilities. This is vanilla Gingerbread. And trackpad wake is not an option. At least not yet.
This is just a very basic stock ROM. I deodexed the ICL53F Google system image (Android 4.0.2) rooted it and installed busybox. I saw that no such stock ROM was available and decided to share mine.

Does the SuperUser app just force close for you? If so, mine did that initially. Re-downloading/updating SU via the market sorted out any errors.
(Note, I only tried opening the SuperUser app itself - which FC'd, didn't try any other app which needs root)
I superbooted it again, still the same problem, so yeah, I updated Superuser and it seemed to fix it Thanks.

Yeah, that can happen if your superuser data is from a different version. Clearing the app data fixes it. You'll just need to allow root for your apps again.

Thanks so much for this ROM. The lack of the volume update was nagging on my anal-retentive nature.
Wiped cache, and dalvik and flashed with no problems. Didn't even have to clear SuperUser data. It worked right away.
Wiped Dalvik Cache and flashed the file.
updated smoothly without any problem.
Uploaded ROM no problems. Slick Stock ROM, and easy installation!!
Thanks
Thanks for this Just got my Galaxy Nexus last night after work, and got this flashed before I even started to use it! Goes well with the circle battery mod elsewhere on the forum!
Saved me a few hours messing anyway (was going to do this myself) but will also serve well for me to get used to ICS before I start building my own AOSP ROM
Went from stock rooted to this just by wiping cache + dalvik. Is there any chance you could add an insecure boot image? That would be perfect, i want my phone completely stock but need root through adb
4.0.4 update: http://www.mediafire.com/?l1wxw3exb9195w7
"Stock LTE ONLY users:
Rename it to update.zip, then you can flash.
Rooted LTE users who have made no filesystem modifications:
Same thing.
Those with CWM, rooted, but no filesystem modifications:
Good luck. I can modify the installer script if there is an issue.
Everyone else. If you flash this as GSM, well...tsk.
One radio is a patch file. I cannot extract it. Also, be aware, there is a bootloader in this. Those always make me worry.

Couple of notes here:
You must be on 4.0.2 bootloader, radios, boot partition (kernel), and system or this will failed.
You can use this in both stock and CWM recovery.
You will lose root and will have to reroot afterwords using CWM!

I'm a little confused and was wondering if someone could confirm that it's safe for me to flash this. If I restore my nandroid backup of the stock 4.0.2 rom I have, it's ok to flash this? I have not flashed a different bootloader or radios since I originally unlocked and rooted it. Restoring root and CWM I get also. I'm still a tad newbish with the Nexus so I'm sorry if this question may seem dumb.

Anyone comin from the Epic 4g Touch should know what this is. For those who don't, its a full stock tar with root loaded in an executable one-click package. This will not add to the custom flash count.
LJ7 Jellybean
There are two versions of Jellybean LJ7. One will wipe all data including internal SD. Performing a factory reset in recovery is recommended prior to use unless you're flashing the version that wipes data. If you are coming from a ICS touchwiz based rom and flashing Jellybean, the factory reset is probably not needed. Just wipe cache/dalvik if there are any issues.
Flash Count Reset Edition
These are unrooted and will NOT wipe data. These will reset your custom flash count before rebooting into the system.Each storage capacity will have its own one click. Be sure to pick the one that corresponds to your phone's storage capacity. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU PICK INCORRECTLY. Wiping data prior to flashing is recommended.
LEN/LI3 ICS
There are two ICS versions as well. LI3 and the original LEN. Neither of these will wipe data. Doing a factory reset is a must if you are downgrading from jellybean.
Note that the stock recovery will wipe your internal storage too. This is why I recommend wiping beforehand so you can use cwm/twrp and preserve your internal sd.

I bought myohone a few weeks ago. It had Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I upgraded to the latest stock rooted rom which shows 4.1.1 still. Did tmobile upgrade to 4.1.2 in the last few weeks without me knowing? Is there a completely stock Tom for the note 2; except with root capabilities?
T-Mobile released the 4.1.2 update a few weeks ago. Here is where you can find info on it as week as download links and a tutorial for installation.

thanks for the quick reply. Is it possible to upgrade to the rooted stock version of 4.1.2 from the rooted stock version 4.1.1 (same way you would the non-rooted completely stock ROM)? I really don't want to have to backup all my apps, completely wipe out everything, then put a blank image of the rooted stock 4.1.2.ROM, then restore all my app and settings.
I would obviously prefer a non-destructive upgrade.
Also, I prefer the stock web browser over chrome since flash player doesn't work on it. Do i have to worry about losing the stock web browser in Jelly Bean 4.1.2 or is that only in 4.2.1 that i need to deal with that?

the only way to avoid losing apps is to unroot 4.1.1 then upgrade to 4.1.2 over the air and you will still be able to use install and use flash player in 4.1.2
What do most people do in this case? What if i just reimage it completely and restore my apps with titanium back. Would anything break or lose its settings? Would i end up with Chrome browser or the default browser i currently use? I'm still unsure if 4.1.2 is the ROM that replaces the stock ROM browser or 4.2.x
Can Somone point me to a real tmobile rooted 4.1.2 stock ROM? The only 4.1.2 ROM i can find is teshxx's rom which is port from a non tmobile version (it doesn't have tmobile wifi calling). I've tried googleing a bunch of time but can't find an authentic tmobile 4.1.2 rom that been rooted.

Thanks for the extremely helpful response. I keep seeing people suggesting deodexed roms instead of odexed. I'm trying to understand the reasoning for this. My understanding is the whole point of odex files are to increase performance in loading apps and just more efficient use of memory (similar concept to Windows pre-fetching/supercaching engine). The only circumstance I can think of using a deodexed ROM is for certain customization that can only be done with deodexed system components.
Having said that, just to be 100% clear, are these the steps necessary:
1. Select wipe cache and wipe dalvic options, then select deodexed rom (will odexed rom work as well??) and flash using Mobile Odin:

2. Flash Perseus Kernel using Mobile Odin
3. Flash modem
