Ok, anyone else thinking that we won't actually see 4.1 on Galaxy Nexus devices in July? The amount of bugs and issues is extensive enough that I cannot see how they can get them fixed, tested and shipped in just a couple of weeks. Not that it matters, really :)

I'd still love to install JB on my phone, though the lack of step by step guides regarding how to do it on a stock 4.0.4 is holding me back - all the stuff about different versions and multiple updates and whatnot is pretty intimidating without a good step by step guide.

If someone would be so kind, I think community of non-modders would appreciate a good step-by-step guide about how to update to 4.1 from stock 4.0.4 yakju device.

I just have never done an update of this kind, so I'm pretty confused about the process. Part of me wishes Google simply made these OTA updates very easy to install and update. I am a registered Google Play developer, you'd expect them to make the OTA available for developers the way Apple does it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Anyone tried "USB Host" feature with external HDD? I thought this is not present on stock ICS Galaxy Nexus.

And also, please try to sync your contacts with GMail, and see if the contact photos in the phone then changed to low res:

- First changed a contact photo in the phone with high resolution photo

- Then sync with GMAIL Contacts

- Then go to GMAIL Contacts, edit the contact there (add note or change phone number)

- Sync again and see if the high res photo is replaced with low res from GMAIL

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RichardHaro:
My phone's build number is IMM76I (Takju), is it possible for me to flash the 4.1 ROM linked in the OP? Is there more than one variant of takju? God, I am confused. I thought once I flashed Takju on my GSM European SGN I would be able to receive updates to Android as soon as they came out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] humayooshah:
question

i am running CM9 rc0 on GSM Nexus S

will it be compatible for the automatic update notification on my phone or do i have to download the jellybean first on my computer like we do it for roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jezz_X:
It works for me but as with ICS I have to use another app to actually mount them to be useable https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.sztupy.android.usbhostcontroller
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Why not just do it manually forget about using the zips if they are giving you issues.

Get a copy of su and Superuser.apk (or SuperSU.apk or whatever it's called) and save them to /sdcard. Reboot your device into CWM, mount /system in CWM on your device, and plug into your computer. Then open a command prompt and type the following:

adb shell

cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su

cat Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk

chmod 06755 /system.bin/su

chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

exit

I think you mean this link. :) I can also write it up for those with locked bootloaders and root. I generaly don't like doing that, because a) it's not as straightforward, and b) I would like to see everyone with an unlocked bootloader. :) Besides, if you have root, there is now a way to unlock without wiping anything. See link in my sig.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
it tells me cat : can't open '/sdcard/su'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Try mounting /data in CWM .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
this is crazy lol

i got this

and really strong whistle from the pc and everything hang

GPS issues

I am a new member but not new to rooting flashing and other customizations. Was very excited to get Jellybean on my Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus. As many other users have reported, I am having problems with the GPS including long time to get the fix. The location is sometimes accurate to within a few feet and sometimes way off. I am in NJ and it shows me being in Las Vegas. I read that the problems might me in the new maps app so I tried the maps in the browser (default and chrome) and was getting accurate location. Can anyone try this and confirm?

Edit: I am on Vicious Jellybean V2 with stock kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Sorry, my mistake. Use this:

adb shell

cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su

cat Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk

chmod 06755 /system.bin/su

chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

exit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
well I was bored so I did the setup again (was on koush's jb zip)

so i decided to flash the official OTA

no problems whatsoever...you must have borked something along the way

-flashed IMM76I images (flash-all.sh)

-no signing in

-fastboot cwm in

-manually "created" a nandroid backup from these https://plus.google.com/113702637309752822154/posts/X1kukKRFu16

-restored nandroid (got notification to update to imm76i...this is not a official develper phone to get jb ota) don't apply!

-fastboot cwm recovery in again

-complete data wipe (just to be safe)

-flashed 5a07884d325c.signed-takju-JRN84D-from-IMM30D.5a07884d.zip (post 1)

-reboot and sign in

-restored phone via googles services

-boot to recovery

-flash insecure boot.img then supersu zip from post 3

-reboot

-opened super su and got prompted to update binaries (success!)

-done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
I'm gonna snap really guys .. none of this worked

tried efrant way which is pushing everything manually ... no go

tried ogdobber way which is flashing the inscure img from the cwm then super su which i tried before and didn't work .. no go

not to mention that koush build won't install and always giving me instillation aborted no matter wat i do

so to start the story from day 1 .. i was on aokp b40 nth unusual so i found the ota for jelly bean but i found that i have to get IMM30D on my phone in order to install it so i looked for it and found a cwm zip for it and i did wipe data and cache flashed then flashed the ota then the supersu and since then i'm in endless failing to root

i flashed the deodexed build today it was rooted and everything but it was not as smooth as the ota and some google apps were missing like maps and stuff

so wat i did wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
you need a clean install...hence the factory images. the flash-all.sh (or doing the commands one by one) deletes absolutely everything, including sd card

you have something that is f'd...it needs to be cleaned
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyktyler:
Wanted to say thanks for the support in this thread, I got my JB upgrade completed successfully. I was stuck at the boot logo animation for over 10 mins several times but it worked eventaully.

I'm not sure if I had some phantom drain affecting my battery life in ICS (I suspected some app was killing it in the background but I could never find what), but I wiped and installed JB and I have way way better battery life than I ever did before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
Yes i was thinking the same too ... thanks guys for the help ... i will try a clean install and b bk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbirth:
I also had problems updating SuperSU after I flashed IMM30D and applied the OTA to JRN84D - both without wipe.

My problem was the symlink /system/bin/sh pointing to the not existing /usr/bin/bash. After rewiring it to /system/bin/mksh, everything else worked fine again. This was also the reason why DHCP didn't work for me and the DDMS didn't show anything but an error message.

After the link was fixed, everything worked perfectly again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
Did clean install takju IMM76I then flashed from cwm the IMM30D Zip then the Jelly Bean OTA then the insecure img and supersu .. then damn installation failed for the binary .. now what is wrong really
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbirth:
Try ddms … if it says something about /system/bin/sh not found, repair the symlink so that sh points to mksh. Then everything should work again. (It did for me.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
can you tell me how to fix this?

---------- Post added at 03:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

yes i got that msg on ddms how i can fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbirth:
Boot into CWM-Recovery, mount /system, run adb shell, cd to /system/bin and run "ln -sf mksh sh". Then umount and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
your IMM30D "flashable" zip is your problem. follow the steps I posted

mbirth has a good point/solution, but I believe it is above you level
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
I don't know how to thank you but if u could come hr ago i wouldn't have done all that .. thanks very much it's working like charm now :D

it only took one command to fix it damn Android :D

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
ahem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mad_vtak:
Wasn't there suppose to be a new thing in the camera where you can swipe up to delete? I tried to do that and nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
There is no doubt about it thanks to u too ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
:p glad it got sorted out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zipzoomeroo:
Have to pinch to "film strip" view first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eZaCx:
I'm sure this was answered but....

After reseaching a bit before I am thinking of buying the Galaxy nexus, many users were complaining about the battery life (I already intend to get a extended battery), but mainly because of the OS's they were using.

I wanted to know, how much does jelly bean (increase or decrease) battery life, if at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
it's not about backup. just go to the TB app and unfreeze it. There are two apps that get frozen by the system if you're outside US, the magazine app and the sound one. TB has the ability to undo that action.

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

can someone tell me the difference between these two:

http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/jb-takju.zip (found Here) vs the 'OTA' link in the OP. I mean in terms of the end result, is there any?

And how "finished products"-ish are the OTA links and the one posted above etc, is there any reason to expect more polish from the official public release in a few weeks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramonams:
The jb- takju is the exact same as the ota with a different assert so it can be flashed over versions other than the takju IMM30D. At least that's my understanding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] descendency:
I'm running the JB update.

I noticed my phone now says "charging" and the battery icon always shows that it is charging. (didn't when I first installed it).

I've rebooted with no success.

Also, maybe related, when I dock my GN (desktop dock) and then undock it (for use), the home launcher goes into landscape mode if I turn the phone sideways (like it's still docked). Also when I go to redock my phone, it doesn't make the docking noise. (it does it the first time on a reboot, but none after that).

Everything else is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azad11:
thanks for the Post:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownFearNG:
As far as I can tell, I have tested the battery life by leaving WiFi on all done after a full charge and, to be perfectly honestly, I can't see any difference in battery life. If anything, it's actually improved since ICS.

One thing though is, in the Battery menu, Maps appears. Any reason for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G_I_A:
Dunno if it's offtopic, I'm running Jellybean on my Galaxy Nexus and I just can't find the Google Ears widget. Anybody with the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Unfreeze the apk using apps like titanium backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
Needs to be added that this only works until the next reboot, doesn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Your understanding is wrong. :) The jb-takju.zip that Koush put together is a full system and boot image of takju JRN84D. (It is not an OTA update file with asserts checks removed.) This is why you can flash it over any other build. However, given that it is NOT an update, but a full ROM, you may have issues if you do not wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G_I_A:
None of this works. In fact Titanium Backup says I'm not even rooted which is strange since I did the whole process after installing drivers, unlocking the bootloader and rooting after that, in order to flash jellybean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Rooting does not pertain to your device... it pertains to the build you are running. If you rooted your build previously, and you just flashed JB overtop, JB is not rooted... you need to root it.

As well, if I'm not mistaken, Titanium Backup requires busybox as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramonams:
Oh thanks for clearing that up for me. I didn't wipe (coming from stock 4.0.4) and it seems to work perfectly :-). I didn't root or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedMist:
The only minor issue I have, is that I can't add to the dictionary and some simple well known words are missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAquanox:
Anyone knows if we can add more home screens to JB? Or do I need to use Nova again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
I'm afraid you'll have to use Nova again for that purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G_I_A:
A thanks up for you dude =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I think TiB will install busybox?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, I think you are right. The later versions I believe had it included.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
Voice actions+Youtube

I wasn't sure if this is the right place to post this, but, as the manual for N7 says, one of the "voice commands" is "listen to..." which can now search youtube. When i do that, i get a blank youtube page, it LOOKS like theres a video but there is nothing. Logcat piece here:

http://pastie.org/4182795

please help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CubicTom:
Wow, that is a really cool command! The only thing I can tell is that it does work on the gnex. After I say the command, I can choose between playing the song/artist on YouTube, last.fm, Spotify, or from local memory if available. All those choices work as expected.

Is there a list of what other commands there are?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
I live in denmark, and i have got a new nexus and got takju on it, and now i will flash 4.1.

If i flash takju my phone still will work here in denmark and no problem to get ota´s?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No problems at all if you use the stock 4.1 ROM ( not a deodexed rom)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
OKay thanks, so i shall use the rom from koush and then flash new radio, to be all stock?

Edit to got the 4.1 release ota?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
And the LC03 boot loader as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
is there a rom with all in one???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, but there is a cwm-flashable package for each. Look at the "flash" link in my Sig and read the part in red. If I have a free minute tonight, I'll try to make a complete package and upload it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
is it right this one	cwm-bootloader-lc03.zip

I have the radio and rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got_milk:
Has anyone noticed the bug in the Messaging app, where if you respond to a message and leave the app, when you return to view a new one in the thread the whole thread is scrolled up? It's kind of frustrating when I'm doing lots of text messaging and constantly have to scroll down to see new ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yup, that is the right one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
Now i have

Radio: i9250xxlf1

version: jrn84d

Bootloader: LC03 and locked

kernel: 3.0.31

so if the offical 4.1 ota come i can flash it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You bootloader can be either locked or unlocked, it doesn't matter.

And yes, you will get the OTA notification, but if you want it to install automatically, you need to have the stock recovery as well. Otherwise you will have to flash it yourself in cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
Many thanks for you help :-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jin5:
i dont own a galaxy nexus but i wanted to ask if the hd contact pictures is only local to the phone? it seems its still 96x96 on the gmail end. if it is, then i guess they'll never fix it, its been years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericstephani:
What I like so far

New boot animation is nicer. Not as crazy, simple. Overall I think my phone boots a bit faster too. Also, I really am linking the new notifications enhancements. The linear data usage graph is huge too. I never understood why they went logarithmic in stock.

Questions though, I though Chrome came as the default browser. It's not there for me. Not a huge deal as I can just download it. But I stopped using it before because it was much slower when searching for stuff from the Google search app. The one that opens when you touched the top search bar. Did anyone else have that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnl199:
From my understanding this is not the official jelly bean that google plans to release OTA. That, and the fact that I got lag when opening apps (click on an app, takes 1-2 seconds before it finally opens) is why I went back to completely stock and will just wait for the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Is anyone else getting weird Email bug reports?

I'll be doing something like changing the volume and then touching the bottom left section of the screen and all of a sudden i get an option to send via gmail or email :confused:

I sent it via gmail and it was a bug report being sent to myself with some random info and a screen shot of what i was doing, i'm all for bug reporting but that's just random that it's sending the report to me lol

Does anyone know how to get the google music shazam type app/widget? I've tried looking around on the phone and no joy, btw ask google now to tilt :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alan7467:
Quick question for the folks already running JB on their phones. Do third party apps benefit from the improvements brought on by project butter?

I ask this because I briefly owned a Galaxy Nexus but returned it and switched back to my iPhone 4 mainly because I found most third party apps to stutter and (most annoying to me) have poor scrolling. This bummed me out because in every other way the phone was way faster than my iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
They should benefit from the temporal triple buffer if they run over budget, but whether this is enough to stay smooth depends on how much of a resource hog the app is. If the app in question is coded too bad, no OS optimization can help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmcdonald58:
Couldn't you just push these files back to folder and reboot and have stock recovery when ota arrives then flash it protect root with ota rootkeeper then reinstall cwm recovery

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InvalidUsername:
Nope, unfortunately, I haven't found any noticeable improvement. It's sad, because most of Google's official apps run perfectly smooth. Third party apps, on the other hand, are no match for iPhone smoothness. My girlfriend and I use "Between" a lot, and it runs MUCH smoother on her iPhone 4S. I'm pretty sure it's bad coding, but support won't help at all. The trend continues with just about every other third party app on Android, with a few notable exceptions, such as Flipboard. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Due to the same reason, I exclusively run ICS/Holo optimized apps now (except for tapatalk and whatsapp). They more or less run as smoothly as gapps.

I am a bit anal about app design. If I find a useful app with a bad UI, I usually get fed up with it and end up deleting it after a few days.

BTW guys check out morequicklypanel for toggles. It blends really well with the notification drawer:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Nope I didn't need to reboot to them see the widget in the stock launcher. If you are using Nova launcher, you may need to restart Nova launcher.

I got my JB ROM and instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737849

As for how I flashed my GNex with the JB ROM:

1.) First, your phone should be rooted. There are a lot of threads here in XDA that shows you how to do it. If you want to have step by step instructions with video, you can check this website (big kudos to Max Lee):

http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-n...iversal-guidegsmverizonsprintwindowslinuxmac/

2.) Once you've rooted your phone, you can install any custom recover mod you want. You can see the steps on how to install a custom recovery either from the website I've linked above or from here in XDA.

3.) Make a Nandroid (backup of your ROM).

4.) Copy the JB ROM you've downloaded from the first link to your phone storage.

5.) Using Clockwork do the following:

a.) Clear Data / Wipe or Factory reset

b.) Clear dalvik cache

6.) Still in clockwork, choose install zip from SD Card.

7.) Reboot your phone.

* Steps 5-7 will be done when you boot your device to fastboot mode (Volume Up + Down + Power button) then choose boot into recovery.

* As Bigxie's thread said, you can either flash the radio as well.

Hope this helps. You can find a more detailed step by step on the links I've provided.

Big thanks to the developers!! :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ali magdy:
Do I have to relock my boot loader and remove CWM recovery and reflash a stock rom to get the official OTA update ?

Sorry if my question was asked before , but I used to do this things on my old HTC device and I have been searching for an answer for long time.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
This is not OTA. :-) The JB ROM being installed were leaked from the Google I/O conference. The OTA will probably be announced this month.

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

Yup. Make sure to wipe the dalvik cache as well. Just to be sure.. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There are two things that are incorrect with your post...

First of all, that is NOT a stock JB ROM. This is a stock JB ROM.

Second, this is a Nexus device. You do not need root to flash a custom recovery like CWM.[/QUOTE]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
I'm using Bigxie's JB ROM. The kernel I'm using however is the stock one. Did franco released a kernel for JB already?

Thanks for your corrections.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Actually I think you could root before the OTA and you would still get the OTA. I also believe that RootKeeper would preserve the root in this case?

[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the link to the completely stock JB rom! Going to install now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I'm sure this has been covered, but here it goes anyway.

I have a bone stock GNEX (GSM). If I go to install the JB rom (stock) will I need to root, then install? Also, will it wipe my device and will I continue to get OTAs in the future (I don't care if the official OTA re-locks). I just don't want to wipe everything...have it set up perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
You will need to unlock and then flash CWM. No need to root, but unlocking will wipe your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Argh. Thanks. So if I do this and the OTA hits in, say, three weeks, I can then install the OTA/future OTAs and they will take my phone back to stock (locked)? I'm just itching to try JB and can't wait (lol).

I've been through the rooting scene, etc, and just want stock from here on out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisM001:
Seems that video playback of HD content is stuttery in all video applications: YT, MX, Gallery app. Rendering problems seem to be in place in JB. Or am I The only one with these problems?

High-res contact pics do sync.

Good to hear. However other people have reported that we have to reupload the pictures as they were initially stored in low resolution.
