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

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.
Is is it GB? ICS? Mabey even a taste of JB?
So what are you currently running? And why?
Me? Well I'm running CM 7.2 Kang 6/19, but I will probably change depending on this fourm.....
So what is it.....

Very stable and all functionality intact.
I would love to jump onto a jb ROM, but they all seem to have issues with features and functionality. I will be patient, though, and I know that I will try out jb at some point in the future.

IC Tazz sense 3.6 is my choice of roms. I love sense and this is a nice mix of ICS and Sense and its smooth. No complaints with this one.
Running Kangdemnation ICS can't really do things right now for jb cuz of kernel issues since I'm s-on

I've been running aokp (ICS) since before cs released his kangdemnation ROM. I like it for the tweaks that aokp has but have been having some problems lately such as my phone rebooting when I get calls. It only happens every once in a while but its getting annoying. I will probably try something else soon.

What's wrong with us? The 90s are over!
I'm in kangdemnation .4, but I must admit you guys are right about functionality & reliability. ICS runs great. Can't wait till all the bugs are squashed.
Not a huge sense fan (used to be). It feels sort of heavy to me. TSM UKB rocks, tho.
PA is way cool, but haven't really gotten over the learning curve yet.
I'll probably go back to CM7 at some point. The Reverend mentioned CCM7 1.5 with aero's .8 was a good build.
The nice thing about flashing constantly is that you learn about options that you never knew existed & often can find ways to make them work on other roms. The downside is that your wife gets pissed cause you're on the phone too much! :banghead:

All i really care about is a working camera and i don't really use fcc. So i'm on 07/30 aero jb ROM. Battery life is phenomenal and i haven't had any issues. I realize that camcorder & fcc doesn't work, but i'm fine with that. Aero's cm9 build worked great too, so i would recommend that for camcorder and FCC. I tried the latest sense based ICS roms and didn't care for them , but that just my opinion.
I loaded up a "final rom flash",even though I've said that a hundred times, I'm running cm9 with aeros .12 kernal without the adreno drivers cooked in. Instead I flashed the ics adreno 200 drivers, along with Google now, agps patch, and its probably my daily until jb gets a little more stable.this combo is solid on my phone. Although any of the ics roms are equal in my eyes in different respects , there all great lol
I've been using Skyraider Zeus for many months now and it has been great! Long battery life and really smooth. I used CM7.2 by CondemnedSoul before Skyraider and that rom is excellent as well
I tried ICS roms but I couldn't live with bugs. I like complete functionality

I like to experiment with things that I understand little about.... lol
I didn't know if the adreno drivers that got put into aeros kernel were the same as the ics adreno 200, I really don't know what the difference was and that's what I wanted to see since I thought the other drivers were for jelly bean, I figured the ics ones would be better for ics, but I rarely have graphics issues. I'm pretty sure i asked that same question in one of the inc2 threads lol

CyanogenMod 10 was just released as stable for us, I believe soon enough they will develop and overclock kernel and we'll be all set.
However, does anyone think that a downgrade to HONO Full Throttle is worth it for the ability to overclock? From what I understand, it is a small OC of about 20% to 1.86Ghz. Does it really make that big of a difference?

If you want try it then make a backup and test it out. Full throttle is a step back and I prefer the JB ROMs. But its worth a shot. Just watch your battery stats with OCing, Typically a higher CPU uses more battery.

Full Throttle is my daily driver. It's a small OC but it's better than nothing. My Antutu score hit 7200 and my Quadrant averages 3750. I also OC the GPU even though its default is already OC'd. The battery on Full Throttle is FAR better than any JB ROM I've used, so far. On a normal day (txting, couple calls, browsing, ect) I get about 20+ hours w/ 3hrs of 'Screen On' time. It may be a downgrade, but it's best I've used. I also have my UV settings set to best battery life w/out causing reboots. Love Full Throttle! Patiently waiting for HO!NO! to commence dev work and see what else he has to offer.
EDIT: I just leave the OC stock @ 1728Mhz as well. I tried 1836 but after playing a game for a bit it overheats and reboots. Also doesn't pass a stability test @ 1836, but every phone seems different on what clock it can handle..
Okay, I've tried both.
From a very limited usage, I am going to conclude that CM10 stable is currently the better ROM. Being able to overclock ~20% on an older ROM does not actually match the performance boost of upgrading to a new, more efficient ROM. Now if only we had more developers for the Nitro.

Wait. So u asked today if it would be worth trying Full Throttle, and now you "have" and conclude cm10 stable is better simply b/c it's newer? JB is smoother, yes, but I seriously doubt you gave the Full Throttle ROM a proper run (2-3 days). My 4 days of cm10 "stable" was riddled with reboots and battery drain equal to about 7%/hr. Smooth, yes.
EDIT: If you haven't tried it, pA 2.5x is pretty cool. It's based on CM10 stable now. The battery life is horrible, but there wasn't any annoying reboots.

I beg to differ on the reboots... actually, no. I call them random shut-downs. Had 3 since flashing 2.55, but I'm still sticking with it. X0dus, I just don't understand how you get so much better battery life on FT than any of the CM10 variants. I'm not disputing it, I just don't get it. If anything, the experience I had as far as battery life goes was about equal. In fact, the best battery life I've gotten so far was on an earlier, buggier version of CM10.
About an hr and half screen on time w/ stock battery. Not a normal use day due to 10hr shift but still use

Mother of God... that's absolutely insane. Even with the Hyperion extended battery I couldn't get that kind of time... I don't do much calls or texting, no games, but I do a good bit of web browsing. Even on FT I couldn't pull those numbers.
Although I did pull something like 1 day 6 hours on that CM10 version I mentioned earlier... had about 3 hours screen on time.. but again, extended battery.

I had miserable lag and battery life on 4.2.1. I tried every solution presented here. I flashed in every way imaginable. I did factory resets, wipes, etc, and nothing worked.
Then I downgraded to 4.1.1 and I had no more lag and got my battery life back.
I haven't even noticed a difference between the functionality of 4.2.1 and 4.1.1. Seriously! Try it!
OK.
For me battery life improved with 4.2.1 (as good with stock kernel as with Franco on 4.1.2) and I have had no issues.
Looks like I'm one of the few that didn't had any problem with 4.2.1, battery seems good as usual, no Bluetooth problem either, no lag.
I'm using everything stock and when I need to re-flash the room I use the 4.0.3 ROM.
Are you jelly? Sent from my jelly belly GNex
This is why I didn't upgrade until I looked at what people were saying about the update. Good thing I use a custom rom so I don't have to be nagged about it.
the problem on 4.2.1 isn´t solved^^
but same here xD i´m using 4.1.2.
got this combination:
-jellybro 4.1.2
-new camera+gallery ->4.2.1
-new clock ->4.2.1
-franco kernel 300
so i got the benefits of 4.2.1 and the performance of 4.1.2
new lockscreen of 4.2.1 is senseless in any way. performance is better on 4.1.2.
the only thing i like on 4.2.1 is the cam and the clock and i got them on 4.1.2
got great batterylife, usually 3,5h displaytime. uninstalled unnecessary things. made a few synchro-optimazations and i am very happy. disabled the transitionseffects as well, no need if apps are opened up nearly instantly

4.2.1 will eventually fly no doubt, but like many others my nexus suffers from the SOD no matter what kernel I try.

All our nexus are different down to a molecular level. If Samsung quality control was letting loose devices that didn't all run the software as intended then I think we'd have much bigger issues. NO, this is NOT the same principle "as cpu"...
I do not have SOD issues at all. You can't justify you're statement one bit because you have done ZERO testing to prove otherwise. Just because you read about it in the development section doesn't mean it's true. :victory:

I just suggested to you on the 1st page that you can try... Flash 4.2.1, don't install any 3rd-party applications for several days. If you're SoD-free, then try installing your apps one by one to narrow it down.
You also failed to provide any logcats.

The only SoD i had was when used google maps for navigation. Had to pull the battery. And actually that is the only one i have heard off.
Except of that i have been SoD free with atleast 5 different kernels on stock 4.2.1 with about 100 apps.
The only reason for the kernels change was to find the best for battery.
Still no luck

No, Even with its bugs, Kit Kat is much more optimized.
There are probably no drivers for it anyway.
You are not the first one to ask this question. Short answer: no.
Long answer: as of now there exists no known build of GB for gnex from anyone, since there is no blob and driver available from Samsung and TI to build GB on gnex. It will run fast, but not that much comparing to newer Android builds because of the lack of optimization at that time.
Don't forget the fact that 4.1.2 was probably the fastest for the GNexus, then again there's a ton load of optimizations that are needed to be done, then a massive downgrade to the camera drivers and chipset. Besides it would be a waste of time as there are a lot of restrictions and limitations. App support goes down the drain as well, you can kiss goodbye to all those fancy animations or superbly optimized launchers like Nova.
Also the only reason it will be fast is because of the scaling option is really low res compared to Jellybean/ICS.
I'm not sure if you really thought this through but it makes absolutely no sense to do so. It's like buying an i7 with 16GB RAM and high end graphics card... And then you install Windows 95.

You mean Windows XP? Because GB is the windows copy of Android and I'll deal with xp, I like it more than windows 7 &/or 8. But I see what your saying.

Your understanding about the OS is miss leading..
GB is probably 'heavier' on any Android phone due to worst memory management compared to ICS and JB (also depends on the hardware).
For example, my dad's Galaxy Ace 2 running smoother on JB 4.1.2 than on GB. Why? Because JB eat less RAM to run. KitKat supposed to eat lesser. Meanwhile my brother's Optimus One runs at best on ICS (first came out on Eclair, updated to GB officially), but really slow when it run on JB (the hardware won keep up).
BTW, I agree, JB 4.1.2 was the fastest on GNex.

If only they hadn't picked Omap as its chipset, probably it would live to see another day. A year in and the company closes down. I don't know if they tried to save the company thinking adding it on a Google phone would redeem the company, instead the GNexus was one of those poorly advertised phones, where only people who kept up with the Google trend or xda/root wiki knew about the phone and what it was really intended for.

Has someone made a GB ROM for the gnex? I bet it would be wicked fast and smooth compared to other ROMs with higher Android versions. Is there anything that holds it back from getting GB?
