The development for this phone moves so fast I cannot keep up. Starting a new business and took a couple weeks off from immersing myself into this phone and all the roms etc.
Just read there is a new ICS 4.0.4 version out. Looks like there is a rom for it as well that you can flash.
I'm currently on AOKP Toro 22 with the 13.1 Franco kernel and I have my phone dialed... good battery, great setup etc.
My question is...and I feel like an idiot for asking but... can I somehow just upgrade to 4.0.4 while keeping AOKP Toro 22 and my 13.1 Kernel?
Would this be silly or unnecessary? I'm confusing myself. I feel like I've lost my grip on things here with this phone! I love how I'm set up. But I have that feeling of course that if there is a new version of ICS I should be on it.
Can anyone clarify or even make sense of what I'm saying?
What I read of 4.0.4 is some improvements to Gmail app which is always welcomed, battery improvement (duh) and responsiveness.
I'll stop now. I'm just confusing myself and probably won't even get a reply cause this makes no sense more than likely.
Gonna go back about my business now.
Aokp is a 4.0.3 rom. So you can't upgrade to a 4.0.4 rom while keeping a 4.0.3 rom. If that makes sense. If you wait awhile there will be an aokp 4.0.4 rom once source is out.

Thank you for that quick answer.
I started to get it in my head... 4.0.3 rom... they must be working to get aokp to 4.0.4.
I just get very comfy with certain roms and rarely switch... only do updates etc. AOKP has everything I feel I need for now.
Was a MIUI freak on my DX but the idea of dressing up my Galaxy Nexus in those old MIUI themes is a turn-off. ICS is really, really nice as it is. These roms out now just bring out other goodness and better functionality etc.
RAmble over.
Thanks again for making sense of my ridiculously long post.
AOKP is now at build #23 but always ICS 4.0.3.
You can also upgrade your kernel because Franco rolled out his build #16.2.
Hope it helps.
Hi,
I am looking to update my phone (I'm still running AOKP M4). I remember flashing CM9 nightly when it first came out, kinda just wanted to see what it was like. It was very buggy and many, many features had not been implemented. So, my question!
What is the current state of CM9 nightly? What is YOUR OPINION as to how far along it is (with 100% being the final release). I'm not necessarily a 'power user' with my Gnex so all I'm looking for is a reasonable amount of stability.
I know that there are plenty of nightly flashers out there, please share your opinions! Thanks.
I've been running the nightlies for the last few weeks, and I haven't had any problems. Cm9 is still missing a bunch of features that the final release will have, but it's been rock solid for me.

I am no fan of nightlies and only look for stable versions. Currently, I run stock 4.0.4 but am looking into flashing a stable ROM and kernel. I tried AOKP nightly and a franco kernel nightly but want a stable release.
I've heard a lot of good things about AOKP Milestone 4 and Franco's Milestone 2 kernel, but what do you think? I'd like CM9, but there are only nightlies released so far.
What ROM and kernel work best for you that aren't nightly builds, i.e "stables" or "milestones?"
I personally haven't seen ANY problems on the newest AOKP.
I think the buglist on 32 is literally down to 2 things that people have found...
Pressing "reset navbar" causes a SystemUI FC loop.
Fix: Don't press it? All it does is return your navbar back to stock settings. You can do this manually in 5 quick button presses if you really wanted to anyway.
Torch will enable...but not disable...when used from the "power menu" (the menu that pops up when you hold power.
Fix: Remove torch option from power menu...use toggles instead. Or, toggle "off" with the status-bar toggle if you wish.
You see, I don't like nightly builds or builds which are updated every second day.
That's the thing about nightlies. One fix for one bug may break another feature and fixing that might break a third feature. I have had previous experiences with nightlies on my old Nexus One and therefore I want to have a stable release.
I appreciate your input and it's been noted. If many people happen to recommend the nightly builds I might just try them.
I love this phone and have nothing to complain about. It's a huge step up from the N1.
While that may remain true...
And I appreciate the fact that you're a purist...
I'm generally THE bug-finder for AOKP builds.
The devs even seem to take note of my posts...and have PM'ed me a few times asking for logs/details/tests/etc.
Clean flashing (obviously) and I haven't found anything in the last couple days.
Also, while these "builds" are technically "nightlies" in that they're pulled for us at random, it seems...
They also don't occur every night (as you may be well aware) so if the daily flashing drives you away...it'll be more like weekly with AOKP if you want to stay up-to-date.
Gosh.
I never ever recommend a rom to people asking. Generally just tell 'em to "find your zen" on your own...
But I just wanted to emphasize the stability here.
Edit:
Oh, and builds 31/32 are prequels to another Milestone build. So if you don't find something you like by then...Milestone 5 is always a possibility.
I don't know if there will be a 33 first...
But Roman mentioned we're fast-approaching one.

What do you mean with me being a purist?
Lol, just that you like everything to "just work" and be completely stable.
I don't mean it offensively.

Well that's not entirely true, and I guess I somehow worded it wrong. I want a ROM that's stable, kinda lika OTA-stable but anything near a stable OTA is fine by me. The part where it "just works" it not really 100% accurate as I wouldn't choose android as my OS if I wanted stuff to "just work".
Some customization has to be done for me, whether it's homescreen editing or overclocking and whatnot.
Either I worded it wrong or you misunderstood, but I consider the first option since I'm not speaking English natively.

We honestly need to ban "what's the best rom" topics...
I've decided I want to run a nightly now, after spending hours and hours of checking ROMs, and I think it's safe to say I'll choose between either CM9 and AOKP.
Then it comes down to what kernel to use.
I am really sorry for being such a pain in the rear for you guys.

My preferences in order of quality, stability and speed.
LiquidSmooth 1.2 (default imo kernel)
BAMF 1.2
Foxhound 0.4
AOKP m4
Liquidsmooth 1.25 + Trinity - Bomb Proof.
May test out a new rom soon but liquid has everything I need so dont see a reason to switch expect the fact to see what other roms has to offer. Still waiting on CM9 to get few more features.
I only use the stable Rooms/Kernels myself. I been using AOKP build 32 and used Tuna-faux 123 and had no issues or problems. I am noe using the stable version of Franco's Kernel. And again, no issues. I used to always use regular CM but after using AOKP I just keep using it. I know there's all kinds of roms built off of AOKP as others. But I just use the stock versions of ROMS. Like stock CM9 or AOKP and not a ROM built off of it.
There's a lot of great choices out there. Find what works best for you and your device.

AOKP 32 with Latest Stable Lean Kernel with Interactivex governor = Best battery and performance!
Honestly I'm loving AOKP M3 and Leankernel 3.0.0. I had battery issues with francos and stuck with it till about #13, then switched to lean and never looked back. My battery life has improved dramatically and performance is still no problem
With regard to AOKP's stability, I used to stay up to date with it but I think I might just start looking for the milestones, mostly because I think I don't end up using the vast majority of features they introduce with every build. I also got hit with that systemui bug in 32 and ended up just reverting to 31 before the devs posted a workaround because it made the phone unusable. I think I got a little comfy assuming that the beta line was generally stable.
I've been thinking of trying Liquidsmooth when they release the newer 1.3, which based on the chatter in its thread sounds like it will be soon.
As far as kernels go, I think leankernel is the way to go if you're a fan of stable releases. The stable branch probably sees an update about once a week with new features. I don't use franco's kernel mostly because the milestone releases are so far and few between, but apparently he's working with the liquid team for optimizing their rom, so maybe franco M3 and liquid 1.3 will be a nice combo to settle into when those hit.

ICS source came out (according to the CM website blog post about the CM9 RC1 release) 255 days prior to CM9 RC1.
That is a significantly long time to wait for an RC release from the CM team.
I understand the "why"...
ICS was a significant change from GB, that required a lot of work on the CM team's part to get the features/changes implemented that we expect in a CM release.
But what about JB? It isn't a major update like V2.x.x to 4.x.x that the GB to ICS jump was. This makes me think that when source is released, we should see some beta releases (maybe alpha) fairly quickly.
I would guess we have at least a few months to go before JB releases and source drops for it. (if any rough time frame has been officially released, I missed it) So that means the CM team has a little while to work out the last bit of tweaking needed for CM9, and then they will naturally want to shift focus to JB/CM10.
So... thoughts? Think we will see a faster turn around for CM10 than we did CM9?
Google announced at the jelly bean announcement that the ota for the nexus phones and source would be released mid July. So I'm sure as soon as that happens things will pick up pretty quick seeing as they now have a better handle on how the newer stuff works.

Sources for JB should be released Mid-July, so no need to wait months to get them. I don't think it will take a long time for people who had CM9 on their phone to get CM10. There is way less work to do to get from ICS -> JB than to get GB -> ICS (Specially because everything changed in Honeycomb and ICS had these change implemented). We should see CM10 beta soon when the sources are out. Codeworkx will do some magic for us .

During Cyanogens "keynote" before I/O he mentioned that the push from CM9 to CM10 was going to be MUCH quicker than the push from GB/ICS because not much has changed and they can still merge the ICS changes in to a new JB tree....TODAY! I'd expect to see CM10 nightlies in 2 weeks.
Anyone else hoping it gets called CMX instead of CM10?

The team is already referring to it as CM 10 in their posts.
And just like that we have source...
CMX would be cool.
I was just stirring up a little discussion... and a few hours later... source.
I also agree, it would be way cooler as CMX

It's a very exciting time to own a Galaxy Nexus
Anyone have any idea when we will see a stable CM 9 for Galaxy SIII (AT&T)? I was flashing CM 10, but too many issues. The latest CM 9 nightly (8/26) seems pretty good...
Also, any idea if TAPP works with the most recent CM 9 nightly?
i am waiting for a stable cm9 too... but they stopped posting nightlies two weeks ago.... they were supposed to post weeklies instead... but they did not post the weeklies for CM9 on (09/02) as supposed.... i am guessing they all focus on CM10 instead of doing a RC/stable CM9 version....
are they giving up on us?
One of the few rules of CM roms is no eta's. Don't ask for them, don't expect them.

Got it, thanks for the info.
BTW, Simply Tapp works great with 8/26. To be honest, I haven't experienced any major bugs on this version. Maybe it is as close to "Stable" as we will get.
I'm starting to seriously doubt that there will ever be a stable CM9 release for this device, which will be a huge disappointment unless CM10 improves a lot.
My hope of being proven wrong springs eternal, though.

There were some issues with the build server this weekend, so it looks like the CM9 weekly got skipped. I'm sure it'll be back next week.

In which areas does CM10 need to improve "a lot"? It's improving by leaps and bounds every day and is pretty darn good considering how long it has been out.
They are still working on flicker/rendering, the call audio still isn't perfect, no CRT off....

Compared to CM9, there are 2 areas in which CM10 is currently a huge step back.
Battery life - The battery life of this device with CM9 is absolutley awesome; the battery is often at 60% or more when I get home from a normal workday. With CM10, it seems to chew through 10-15% per hour, even when it's not being used at all.
ActiveSync - I cannot sync contacts or calendar entries from my employer's Zimbra server with CM10. I believe that this is a Jelly Bean problem, rather than something specific to CM10, but it's still a show-stopper.
The combination of the above problems and the CM9 camera issues have actually driven me to revert to the stock-based Ariel ROM - something I would never have imagined myself doing.

I agree, CM9 battery life was awesome for me, as well, but I'm getting as good as 3-5% per hour from moderate use w/the latest CM10 builds.
And as you mentioned, the activesync problem is not a CM10 issue.

I'm in love with CM9 based AOKP from Task/Ktoonsez.
It's too bad they didn't finish it. It was like 95% done when they stopped developing it and started working full time on CM10 based AOKP.
Freaking stable as hell with exceptional battery life.
This latest 9/5 version of CM10/AOKP is pretty sweet so far though. Lots of big issues were fixed. Still a ways to go but the things that are working are all stable for me so far.

I've been relying on my phone to wake me up for class for the past two weeks, no problems yet. I do miss that progressive volume alarm and nature tones on stock though, very soothing . But the smoothness and amazing battery life are worth it.

I might use my device a little less than average, but I've seen a hell of a lot less bugs on aokp than on stock. (out of the box copy and paste didn't work at all.)
