Hi so I have the gnex that was given out at the Google io and it has been updated to jelly bean
I want to unlock boot loader and root and flash using the gnex tool kit.
Is it the same process as if I were to do it to my regular gnex?

Yeah same deal... although im not sure about rooting it... should be able to unlock and flash a custom recovery just fine. Im not entirely sure how you guys root your version
Alright thanks guys just want to be for sure.

As the title says.. not new to flashing so know what I'm doing. But out of the millions of custom ROMs which is the most stable?

Why not try stock for a while? At least so that you can have some basis for comparison...
I agree with efrant.
Update to Jelly Bean if your model came with Ice Cream Sandwich...
I'm rockin BAmF jb. Totally stable and semi- customizable. Not as much as AOKP, but I've always found quasi issues with those RomS anyway. Great ROMs. but just sayin....

Just got my nexus as well today. Updated to jellybean, and plan on staying here for a little bit. So much better than the ported jelly bean I was using on my s2

Exactly. Use stock JB for a week or so before moving to something else so you can see the differences.

Not everything is always about flashing.... if you like the excitement and all the work related to flashing New kernels/Roms go ahead. If you need your phone as a daily driver, and are happy the way it performs just root to take advantage of certain capabilities through apps do that, try different launchers and skins
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Agreed with stock.
I would, however, unlock the boot loader so you don't have to lose your data when doing so at a later date.
I've been rocking aokp and cm and so far so good

Do you have the GSM or CDMA version? You can always use Odin or fastboot images to get where you want to be.

Found this thread after a search specifically for this - why? Because Voice Dialing over BT is completely broken in JB: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35199
Google hasn't acknowledged the issue and seems to have no intent on addressing it. I used the feature daily and depended on it. Now it's completely broken. I've tried a couple of custom ROMs that purported to remedy it (by using some snippets of older code?) but they aren't working either. Would like to go back to ICS until there's another sanctioned release.
My only question was how to disable the OTA upgrade prompting, and it seems this thread has addressed that. Back to ICS I go!
I used to have the bluetooth problem. However I am running CNA with absolutely no problems anymore. All I do is delete the PicoTts.apk and everything works fine with bluetooth dialing. This has worked for the last few roms I have flashed. Might be worth a try to check it out on CNA.

I have torolplus.
Do you even have a Linux partition. Do you even know what Linux is? Do you know how to decompile a boot.img? Do you know what a boot.img is? You're way over your head here bud. Suck it up and stop asking or buy a GS3 like you should have from the beginning.

Are you rooted or stock? If you're stock, I would root as and flash instead of waiting on Verizon. You might be waiting a while if you're waiting on them.

I'm stoke still. I want too root so I can run code name android ROM. I really like it. But my computers broke right now. So I guess I'll just have to wait then.

no need to root; push all needed files to phone, reboot bootloader, flash a custom recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash a custom rom (gapps if stated on first post)

Hi XDA!
First of all, sorry for my bad english!
Since yesterday I have a big problem with my Galaxy Nexus I9000 I9250 (GSM).
I did a dirty flash upgrade to the latest CM11 official nightly (CM updater), but since then my phone freezes randomly and my screen gets pink, then I cant use my phone and need to pull my battery. I didn't overclock my phone and used the CM11 stock kernel.
Today I'd restore my phone to the Google Stock Image (Android 4.3.3), didn't install any mods and I still got the same problem!
Is my phone bricked? Could you help me out?
Greetz,
TinyFeather

I'd use SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit
Toolkits never work that well if you don't understand the underlying processes. I suggest you revert to stock via adb - that way, you know and understand what exactly you're doing to your phone.
There is a revert to stock guide here.
