Galaxy Nexus 4.0.3 Build

Hi! Is there somewhere where I can get a 4.0.3 ROM which is unmodified (just compiled - not custom ROM) ?
Thanks

If you have a GSM version try Bugless Beast. That rom is pretty close to stock.

Its very doubtful you will find an untouched build as its not an official google stock version on the Galaxy Nexus so at the very least any versions on here will be rooted.

Mark, I think you won't find an untouched 4.0.3 build because I am reasonably certain Android build number "IML74K" with tag "android-4.0.3_r1" in Google's Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository has problems. I think the vendor binaries provided by Google are wrong, and extracting them from my phone is worse. I'm not sure how people are building 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 ROMs that work, but this is something I hope to learn.

Looking to install my first rom

So the current version of my I9250 Galaxy Nexus won't let me update to anything newer than 4.0.4 due to restrictions (checks for updates, and none are found). Can anyone recommend the best way to either install 4.2 or a rom that is even better? This is also my first time so ideally I hope there are some guides out there that have instructions for doing this all on Ubuntu or another linux based OS. Ideas?

Yakju - Takju ?
Maguro - Toro - Toroplus ?
Did you flash a custom recovery ?
Do you want a custom ROM or stock ?
Yeah a lot of questions, if you answer I can help you

[Q] question about flashing roms with multirom

Hello XDA developers!
I have a quick question about flashing some secondary roms to my Nexus 7 2013 model FLO tablet running Android 4.4
Now i have rooted my tablet and installed multirom and TWRP Recovery Manager. I want to flash some secondary Rom's such as Paranoid Android and Cyanogenmod.
Now I know that from flashing CM to my phones that you have to also flash the Google Apps image to get the google play store on the Rom. Is this true with the Nexus 7 Rom's and multirom as well?
If i do need to flash Google Apps how would i go about doing that with multirom?
From what i understand is that I download the CM or Paranoid Android Rom for my Nexus 7 device and I boot into recovery mode and go into advanced and pick a slot for the rom and flash it. My question is...how do i go about flashing the Google Apps do i need to pick a slot for that as well what are the steps necessary for me to accomplish that?
Second could someone please post me a link on where I can get Paranoid Android Rom and the Google Apps file for that rom for my Nexus 7 device. I have tried looking for it here on XDA but not sure which is the right one for my device.
Also if someone could please post a link for Cyanogenmod Rom and the Google Apps file for my N7 i would really appreciate the assistance. Is the google apps file that is specific for my device -> Nexus 7 2013 FLO running Android 4.4 the same for all roms? What i mean is when I download the Google Apps package for my N7 could i use that for Paranoid Android and Cyanogenmod or does each rom have their own specific Google Apps package specifically for their Rom?
I thank you all for your time and assistance...and I really appreciate any advice/info you can throw my way.
Thank you all again,

After reading my post again I am embarrassed for asking such ridiculous questions...
Of course you need Gapps with your rom...
I have flashed CM 11 and Paranoid Android onto my N7 tablet. One question though, why is Paranoid Android not rooted?...
Kind of weird for a custom ROM but I am sure they have their reasons...

N7 just arrived. First steps?

Hey folks,
my Nexus 7 just arrived and I am wondering what the first steps should look like.
I am not completely unfamiliar with Android, as I owned a Samsung Galaxy a few years ago, but since then I didn't really have had any more contact with it.
What I'd like is to install a nice custom rom, which is simple yet good looking and has a good battery runtime, etc.
As far as I know the Google stock Android is rather smooth so it could also be a modified original rom. I'm not sure about de-odex vs. odexed. What would be preferable?
Can you suggest the best ROM for that purposes? Ideally it should have a readme on how to install
Also do I need to unlock bootloaders or root the phone in advance or does the custom rom does all that for me?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
daZza

WiFi, 2013 Version.
To start with I just installed the Google USB Drivers and that Android SDK ADT Package thingy (all-in-one with Eclipse, etc.). Hope that's right xD
Edit: wugfreshs' tool seems to be the way to go. However, I am still unclear on whether or not to update my N7 with the newest update? I just got a message that there are updates available...
Edit2: Well, seems easy enough to use. Driver Test was successful, so I'll just go ahead and unlock/root it. Would appreciate ROM suggestions though

If you don't want me be messing with it I'd say stock rooted is the way to go.
Odex files help apps load faster I believe, and Roms are de-odexed to allow customizations such as icons and theming.
I really recommend sticking with a stock rooted ROM. Android is so polished theses days I don't see the need to mess with a good thing.

It's basically Stock but with minor improvements (pre-rooted, init.d support, slimmed down etc.)

Well if I was you the first thing I would do is update my stock rom then the next thing I would do is root the tablet with the Nexus root toolkit toolkit provided by WuGFresh.
Use the root toolkit to install the USB drivers then to unlock the bootloader there to root your Nexus 7 tablet
After your tablet is rooted load up the Google Play Store and download the app multi rom manager this app will allow you to to install Multi rom which will allow you to install multiple roms on your Nexus 7 tablet and it will also install TWRP recovery manager for you as well.
When you have multirom installed you can add a second third or fourth rom without ever touching or harming your stock ROM. As for a custom ROM I just flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my Nexus 7 2013 model Flo WiFi only tablet. Just download the latest nightly to get Android 4.4.1 or you can go with 10.2 for a "stable" ROM but the nightly is working great.
When you flash CyanogenMod don't forget to flash Google apps the GApps zip file.
As for adding ROMs with multirom you can do a YouTube search for the exact steps...bit it is quite easy. CyanogenMod or CM rather is the Cadillac of Android Roms and looks/runs great.
As for others I would probably recommend AOKP I have heard good things about it...
Many people like Paranoid Android. I tried it but did not care for it. I did not care for the rom not being rooted, but that is just my opinion.
You can't go wrong with CyanogenMod ROM.
Hope it helps and congrats on getting your N7.

Thanks for all the help.

New N7 user

Been lurking a bit, just got my new N7 2013 wifi tablet. Bootloader unlocked. Unrooted
. I am a Nexus 6 owner since pre-order. I really enjoy the full stock Google experience with only root and twrp recovery. Stock rom/kernel is really amazing since the Marshmallow update.
I am looking for
1. pure stock 6.0.0 marshmallow kernel just rootable, I don't care for a modified Uber kernel. No over clocking, no multi window, no bells and whistles. Just want the original rootable.
2. Nexus 6 marshmallow stock launcher, basically I want my phone and tablet to behave exactly and look exactly the same. The tablet version on the N7 is old horizontal lollipop style.. do not like. Really don't care to use a custom launcher. Much prefer the stock N6 launcher ported to the N7 but with landscape home screen rotation like usual.
Thanks

To anyone who comes across this i found the launcher issue resolved by simply installing the newest Google Now Launcher from the play store. Now my Nexus 7 looks and behaves the same as my Nexus 6. Not sure why the Now launcher wasn't included in the 6.0 Google factory image for the N7 because it was on the N6.
Still looking for an unmolested stock 6.0 kernel with only root modification. Thanks

Hi,
Google now was never in factory image for N7, don´t know why...
You can find stock kernel here:

then flash SuperSu 2.52 via TWRP
