[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rec_d_p:
So if I'm understanding this correctly, I have to root my totally stock unrooted VZW GN to install this update? Seems kind of weird that an OTA update designed for this device needs such a forced effort to install. I'm not sure I understand the barriers. The page linked in this thread... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22184351&postcount=133... seems to relate to having 4.03 radios and that's not my situation. If I gotta wait for this to be sent my way then I can deal but my Droid 1 could update with just a file on the SD card.

Do I have to wipe my phone to install this update? What software do I need.?

Cheers.

Entering/exiting app drawer wasn't really smooth. Scrolling in Landscape mode in the launcher was not smooth either, and so was widget scrolling. Are these issues fixed? Or still present?

Someone asked earlier, but the more opinions about this, the better (for me).

Thanks kangxi :)

But, could you please add "date" on the update? So, we could see what's new if you updated the list later ...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TigerMike76:
Search for "galaxy nexus root toolkit" and follow the instructions to unlock and root your nexus. I forget where I found it but it worked wonders. Just make sure you back up all your apps and data.

Then I used rom manager to actually load the update and now I'm running 4.0.4

UPDATE: So far everything is coming up roses.....Louder, Snappier responses, browser is quicker, screen re-orientation is about 3 times as fast, so far a significant improvement!

Have you tried ICS browser +?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurricurry:
I agree. When comparing the nexus browsing experience to the sgs2 its just horrible.

It lags, multi touch zooming is slow and it just lags like hell

My Galaxy Nexus is completely stock.. no modification.. I am unable to update to 4.0.4 I downloaded the file and renamed it to update.zip and placed it in the sdcard. I booted into stock recovery, power button and up and down volume selected recovery and I get the Android Error Icon in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.diesel:
I'm having the same issue.

You can wait until it is actually an OTA update. Someone at Android Police or some other site got the OTA update and uploaded it for people to install before they receive it officially.

Try using CWM with the toolkit. That's what I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I was comparing it to Toro 4.0.2 build since that is what device this update applies to. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Brooks777:
Can someone please confirm that you need at least an unlocked bootloader to apply this update? Which also involves wiping the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattyb65:
Download PDAnet and install it on your computer. You actually don't need the program itself but this will load the proper drivers as sometimes the other Samsung ones don't work properly.

Then try it again and it will work. You should be in fastboot while typing these commands.

so while the phone is on as normal...connect it to your computer. then open up your command prompt from inside the tools folder of the sdk (as your normally would) then enter

adb fastboot reboot - this will restart your phone into fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img - this will work now because you loaded pdanet.

good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bplewis24:
Interested in hearing more about this. All of the Live Wallpapers other than the stock one had very subtle amounts of lag in home screen and app drawer UI transitions. Is that gone?

It's the same for toro...it's there:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
I think for the silent/vibrate icons, they are talking about them being new in the power menu, similar to what you see in 4.0.3 roms.

Can anyone comment on how blacks in compressed movies/images look? The stock boot movie images, say frame 14, are a good test. Just looking for the blockiness aka black clipping aka blue crush artifacts in low light.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marky9074:
Not sure why people are saying that quick controls are new. Been there since the start, and in Honeycomb too for that matter...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
They were added in 4.0.3. Even though they were on 3.x, for some reason Google left them out of 4.0 initially.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
They aren't new. They are improved from 4.0.2. Check the screenshot in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrYuzhai:
i'm still running 4.0.2 on my gsm (yakju).. i hate waiting for updates :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I have searched through the thread trying to find an answer for this, if I have missed it or If it should be common knowledge I apologize. I'm not sure why it wasn't the first question asked so I must be missing something. Will this break root!? How to keep root? Thanks for an answer.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexxon87:
I'm sure there's a million methods to do this, but what I did is, before flashing anything, I installed Voodoo OTA Root Keeper from the market (It's free) and made the SU backup from within the app. (You'll know when you're all set when all 5 checkboxes are checked.) Then after you flash 4.0.4, which in clockwork recovery seems to flash the bootloader, radios, and the OS patch itself (everything you need), you will have to restore the backup from the OTA Root Keeper app in order to get root back. It does initially flash without root, but that simple button press fixed it all up for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thank you sir! I was familiar with this method but had never used it before.. I actually planned to do just that if I didn't get a response, but yours was so quick I don't have to wait or worry about being the first to try this. Couldn't have asked for a faster/better response! You are my hero today friend! Doing this now.:D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcornea81:
This change log looks awesome. But I'm in a lose right now on how to Boot successfully into "Stock" recovery mode without the red exclamation icon showing up. Why is it there when it doesn't work? Am I missing something here?

I am fully locked and fully unrooted. To be honest I love rooting but I've had zero luck in the past with stability but that's besides the point.

I know I might sound like a broken record on this thread but my question is how do I flash this update.zip file into a "stock" recovery without the bs of rooting my phone? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ram1500:
I cant believe theirs no way to flash this unless your rooted. I use to do it all the time with my nexus s. Has anyone found a way??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It tells you how in the other thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ram1500:
Im sorry for asking this but can you tell ne which thread?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] touthor:
I noticed the youtube app is now playing in HD vs HQ. It's a great improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
The red exclamation point is normal. Once you see the red exclamation point hold down the power and volume up. You should then see a blue stock recovery menu. From they you can select apply zip file and choose the ota zip.

The problem you will have and I did too, is that you have to be adb rooted to push the update to the /cache folder.

Adb rooted can be done on a temporary basis. Just use the nexus toolkit to push an insecure boot image.

Once you have an insecure boot image. You can do this in adb:

Adb devices

Adb remount

Adb push update.zip /cache

Adb reboot recovery

Your phone will reboot into recovery (red exclamation). Now hold power and up and you know the rest.

Good luck.

Edit...this assumes your bootloader is unlocked. If it's not then you will have to which blows out everything on your phone. It does a factory reset and all your photos will be gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czechm8:
I was on stock 4.0.2 and unlocked. Not rooted.

I used the SDK toolkit with fastboot and CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 (5.5.0.2 will not work).

With phone off, I booted it into stock recovery, then plugged phone into computer, opened a command prompt - and using fastboot, I booted the phone into CWM recovery, and loaded the 4.0.4 file from sd card. Done.

Here's a good step by step for this process....

Same right here i could enter the stock 3e recovery and was wondering what the red "!" means

but doesnt this step root the phone? i dont wanna do that just update the android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Well I am currently screwed at the moment. I used TiBu to backup and remove Google Books, I now know I should have froze instead. Restoring backup did not solve my prob of not passing asserts. First it failed with system/app/BooksTablet.apk, poking around I found books name com.something.books.apk, I renamed it BooksTablet.apk, I think that part is all good. Now it fails on BooksTablet.odex, creating this file manually through root explorer ( just an empty file) did not work. Sorry for being such a noob, hadn't had to worry about this in the past.. Can someone please provide "BooksTablet.odex" and I guess it wouldn't hurt to also have "BooksTablet.apk" as well, but the odex is what I believe I need at this point. The files are found in "system/app/". I will love you forever!:) other than that I'm guessing there is no way to remove the check before installation?. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czechm8:
No, it does not. I was not rooted before and am not rooted now.

the toolkit simply allows you to boot into a recovery other than stock (like ClockWorkMod). You need to do this because the only place you can install an "update.zip" file using stock recovery is from the /cache directory. You can't write to the cache directory unless you are rooted. So, if you boot into CWM, you can load a file from your SD Card.

This method changes nothing on your phone, except to load the new 4.0.4 udate file.

Has anyone been able to check if they closed the loophole in 4.0.4 that allowed you to access and use the ICS stock wifi tether app for free through through toggle widgets such as SwitchPro Widget? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mechapathy:
Is your bootloader unlocked? It needs to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Trying this now, thanks so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czechm8:
I use the TetherShortCutWidget for this and everything works just fine after updating to 4.0.4. Just tested it 'cause I was curious as well and didn't want this to break the work-around.

Its called "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot widget" in the market. Free.

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yes that works! Thanks so much!!:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAuror:
Thanks Czechm8!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] choecker:
One other thing it fixed vs. 4.0.2: Weatherbug now has a non-black background in the notification screen.

Is there a way to get root back once you have flashed or do we need to wait for a new method with this ROM version? Impatience prevented me from doing one of the backup methods before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marky9074:
No they didn't. Quick controls are in 4.0.2 (which is what I am writing on now, and they are very much there).. seems they have just been updated/improved to have all the functions (read the OP). So only the 'updated' functions are new to 4.0.3/4.0.4..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fade_:
In some they are gone like Bubbles and the Nexus one but Microbes there is still very noticable lag especially with custom transitions in a 3rd party launcher.

Agreed. Hell even phase beam has a very slight lag when opening the app drawer. I'm so sad these live wallpapers don't run smooth. They ran just fine on a Nexus S. I wish Google would fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bplewis24:
Thanks. It takes a somewhat discerning eye to notice the lag. Some people don't even notice it on 4.0.2, so it doesn't surprise me that there are differing answers.

Brandon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
I've noticed they still lag as well, which is why I didn't put it in the change log.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPhilo:
Have you ever considered the resolution is the problem?

The Nexus S uses a smaller resolution compared to Galaxy Nexus, which then the GPU doesn't have to work that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
Ok I guess I need a little guidance. I put the file renamed update.zip on my phone, turned phone off, held both volume up and down and the power button until the screen came up selected volume down until recover was show the pressed power button. It went to a android icon standing up then quickly fell to lying down position with a red triangle above him.

Any help is appreciated. I'm stock out of the box Verizon

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayahmed:
Hello

I can't for the life of me understand why it doesn't work as it did on CyanogenMod 7.0.1. Since then I installed the stock firmware from T-Mobile UK, then reinstalled a CM7 nighty up until #256. Between reverting back to stock and the latest nightly I had not chose to install the experimental Google Talk app when using ROM Manager to download/update ROMs. Then I decided to try RemPuzzleRom and also Google Talk with Video but it would not work.

By not working I mean, initiating a video call will make the screen go black - I believe it is supposed to show an image feed from the camera at this point. After about a minute, it goes back to the conversation or chat list, depending on how it was initiated.

When performing an audio call, it displays it is calling the user but nothing happens on either end. The user does not receive a notification and no internet activity seems to be present when initiating the call. When a call is made from the user to me, data arrow lights light up indicating a data was sent/received.

The user(s) I called were able to receive/send video calls as we tested them separately.

I turned my phone into a wifi hotspot, connected my netbook to the hotspot and went on GMail website and initiated and received audio and video calls successfully indicating it is not a network related.

I went through these forums and saw posts referencing apps on the market that contain modified versions of Google Talk - I installed these but it did not remedy the issue. In these forum posts, some users also attached files which I tried with no avail.

For your reference, I wiped cache before attempting to install a different version of said files. If installing over did not work, I manually removed them and then installed in recovery mode.

It does not work over network data or wifi but on my Galaxy S2 they do (same wifi, same mobile operator and same tariff). The version I have installed is the one ROM Manager prompted me with. I've also tried the downloads from goo-inside.me/gapps gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip.

I understand it is emphasised as `experimental` but I'd assume it's available because to some degree it has worked for someone. Does it work for you? Can you help me diagnose the problem? Are there any log files I could look at?

I'd appreciated any response - thank you kindly.

The way your question is worded, you'd be better off asking in the thread for CriskeloRom specifically.

That said, without knowing for sure, I'd guess Simyo doesn't use the same UTMS bands for data as T-Mobile, and may not actually be compatible with this phone? I don't know. Does your co-worker also have a GT-I9100 on Simyo?

Though, you should at least get Edge. But I'm not even in Europe, so I'm just guessing.
