I could do this in 4.1.2 as well (dont remember if it worked in 4.1.1 )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliders7:
Yes there is, its frozen by default.

Use titanium backup to unfrozen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhi29:
i can also attest to the people who said pure aosp is much smoother than the ota. i just flashed the google factory stock image and its like a totally different phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Question

Does anyone who installed the ota(the one pushed by google to your phone) has a smooth rom thats not full of issues?

Or only the guys who flashed the image have a smooth, good-working rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupaDupaFly24:
I got the OTA from google. Never rooted always stock and it runs pretty good, no real big issues so far just some annoyance with some changes in 4.2. The update is pretty nice tho!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Good to hear, i was starting to get paranoid(not the good kind)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatdude90210:
I updated the night it was out, via CWM and renaming the file to update.zip. I have been running it for 2 days, and it's been running as smooth as it ever did on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. Battery usage is as good as before. Actually I had an issue with 4.1.2 where I had to turn off wifi because it was draining my battery if the wifi signal was weak. That's gone since the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
ota was smooth for me and i got it rooted in the first try.. the factory image is also smooth but i havent been able to root it yet, tried everything supersu gets installed but doesnt give apps root access
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i can confirm that aosp is smoother
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
Installed full image and it's not smooth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demzzy:
ok i have a very n00b question..... how do i unfreeze apps if im not rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellymelly:
you need supersu 0.97. I tried first time with 0.95 and apps wouldn't get root access
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jurica_m:
When you press power button, the phone doesn't lock right now. I would like to press power button and locked it quick but in Android 4.2 this is not case. Have lag in recent apps when swipe my apps. Notice also less RAM memory (230-270 MB) free. In Android 4.1.2 have had about 300 and more free.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
I had this urge to buy N4, even though it would require some effort since Google Play is not available in our country. But, the way 4.2 works on my GNex, I'm absolutely in love with it. I would still have N4, of course, but if I don't get it, I won't be sad either. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
Same here. ~250-ish MB free instead of >300 with CM10 after a few hours.

Also, as I posted in other thread, several soft reboots.

This is with the factory image and flash_all (i.e., everything wiped), not with the OTA.

Going back to CM10. Seriously, in 4.2 there are 1 or 2 nice things and 10 bad ones. This is the first time I downgrade a nexus phone :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
yeah that didnt work.. oh well the phone is working googd without root anyways, i think i will wait for a deodexed build or cm

Edit- i flashed supersu another time and this time it worked, i used this zip

http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its the same codebase as the ota....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
It's the magic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Latest one is v0.98 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rockhwd:
the wifi direct feature still not built in in android 4.2...

or just i don't know how to use it?

i don't see any things that can allow me to send files through wifi direct...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elnovio:
Kalos or bixies build - are there any recommendations for? I cannot see any differences beside bixies is more upset at the thread list ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Did this release make anyone else stay on stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frank_9.5:
IMO 4.2 is less smooth than 4.1.2. Locking/Unlocking the phone it's a big laggy, and generally the system seems to be slower. Anyway, new features are very cool, I love photo sphere camera and the new clock app but the lockscreen is horrible...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
same here... I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 and have no idea about how to exchange files between the two
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
well... not really a solution for using wifi-direct :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If you don't have wifi-direct on all devices, it certainly is. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
The google factory stock image is not "pure ASOP" It's essentially the same as the OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
Yep, back to CM10 after 4.2, and everything is smooth as a baby's bottom again. I don't know what google did to the recent apps switcher in 4.2, for example, but in 4.1 it works WAY better (faster to unfold, no stuttering then swiping an app). Also no lag when locking, no random soft reboots... and of course the CM goodies :P

To me 4.2 seems a bit... rushed. Maybe I'll try again with 4.2.1, but I suppose I'll wait for CM10.1 instead.

(YES, I DID wipe the phone before installing 4.2, so don't tell me it's my fault. 4.2 stuttered after a complete wipe and with no apps installed besides the bundled ones.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
wait...

I have Galaxy Nexus with wifi direct

I have Galxy Note 10.1 with wifi direct

I have no idea how it works to transfer files between the two
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodmc123:
for me is a little smoother than 4.1.2, i installed it first flashing the takju 4.1.2 rom, and then i got the OTA from the update options, i have no issues with lock screen, and i don't know if is just me or the colors of the screen were calibrated, because it looks better now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
Essentially is not the same as exactly. :)

It would be nice if someone had two Gnexes to test whether 4.2 is slower (or faster) than 4.1.2 and whether there is any difference between OTA and factory stock image.

It's hard to tell how much of the difference people report is real and how much is akin to a placebo effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
True. One is an update, the other is a full ROM. But all the checks the OTA makes if you have the correct base files make dirty flashing the OTA almost impossible.

My post was more ASOP is the "open/free" version of Android that Google gives out to everyone so manufacturers and devs can build that version of android for their devices. The factory image is not ASOP, it's the version Google specifically built for the GNex. The factory image is "essentially" the same as the OTA when compared to the "open/free" version of Android (ASOP)

As to whether OTA vs factory is faster or slower, people need to indicate whether they did a factory reset or not. Having a fresh install with everything wiped makes for a much faster phone, and people are more likely to do that when flashing an image vs. updating via OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2rjt:
For me, two issues.

1) Bluetooth doesn't work, worked fine in 4.1.2.

2) 'su' returns an error. It gives root access but the error causes most root-using apps to think they did not obtain root. So don't tell me to use bluetooth fixer :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vivek2701:
I am very happy with the 4.2 update. No issues at all. Great battery life and smoothness. Just loving my nexus..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
try changing a birthday in contacts and see if you can find december... ;)

I have read elsewhere that this takju OTA is just a test and that a final yakju OTA will be out later... could this be tru? does it mean we'll get another OTA for takju?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Nope, that was someone making a joke.

When 4.0 came out, it had a ton of bugs that eventually got fixed. When 4.1 came out, it had a ton of bugs that eventually got fixed. Same thing that's happening with 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
Good points.

On image v. ASOP, people should be careful with terminology.

A setup without apps should be faster than one with many.

It would be nice to see a controlled test rather than people's impressions, as it's very easy to fool yourself on these sorts of things. Speed can be measured objectively.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You don't. Google's WiFi direct is incomplete.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If you dump the OS from after an ota and then flash factory image and dump that, the files will be an exact match.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
In that case, reports of differences between OTA and factory image are due to (1) faulty perceptions, (2) other setup differences, such as not as many installed apps, or (3) re-installing apps makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Yes, exactly right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Agreed on all accounts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engljeff:
Battery life seems worse for me and I hate that my phone is hot all the time now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nachtschicht:
:eek::eek::eek: what a ridiculous bug! I hope Google already knows about this :what:

I don't think it was a test, it's already listed on Google's factory image page. But I do believe that we'll see another update/bugfix shortly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike.b93:
Hm i don't like what I see...

OS is eating like 40% of my battery... I really don't want to clean install again...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
e fact that google knows is not an assurance that she's gonna do something about it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fushla:
Running it for 24+ hours now and it became much more smoother :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nachtschicht:
You are absolutely right. I just hope Google feels the pressure with their freshly launched Nexus 4, the new customers et all. Cmon Google ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You aren't narrow-minded enough to think Google would know about that bug and leave it, do you? That is a major functionality bug.

Not even Apple with all their warped bridges and misplaced landmarks would leave such a bug to not be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegios:
was just jokin man ;)

still it took years 4 google 2 fix the contacts' picture resolution...

gues that considering also the vibration issue with mail, gmail and calendar, we will c a 4.2.1 very soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
They didn't even really fix them. They put a bandaid on them.

I erased my backup data with Google when compiling 4.2. This is the data that stores your prefs, restores apps, etc.

My old low-res pictures came back with my contacts, as a result. I still don't understand the fix, but it looks like they are storing them as part of the backuptransport data, and not contacts.

I'm planning on going home today and trying to fix it in the source code. I'll post an APK for folks to try out if I succeed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eb2708:
I came from a fresh 4.1.2 and updated via OTa. Everything seems to be running smooth. However I have a few complains...I hated the new lockscreen it's ugly and the widgets could be implemented in a better way. Also the delay to turn off thw screen is kind of annoing.

Also, know this is not the right thread, but my wife's nexus 7 has gone into sleep of death twice since I updated hers ota.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seriously Ponies?:
My phone has had "the sleep of death" twice, which was the final straw for me. Reverted back to 4.1.2.

Now if only I could get the system update notices to stop until 4.2.1 comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipole:
I'm having major sleep of death too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BennyJr:
Flashed the stock image and its running great here. Love all the new features and colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
What is the best advised way to upgrade? Is it better to flash back to a stock image and let it OTA, or flash the stock image? I have been reading some people having problems with 4.2 and I can't really tell from which type of flash.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i have tried both ways and they both work great.. just make sure to update to the latest twrp or cwm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
A little bit of info for you guys. I updated my Nexus 7 using factory image, I updates my wife's tablet using ota. My tablet is running solid without any issues. My wife's n7 has had 2 sleep of death so far. I know this is the gnex forums, bit maybe the same applies to our phones.

I agree from experience. There is an issue with the OTA but the factory build is better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
I've been running 4.2 for 5 days now, no FCs, no reboots, no jamming, everything works well. There's lag when rotating camera and in the recent apps, but I hope we'll get fix for that. I'm really happy atm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadrunnerx7:
Launcher fc

System ui fc

Handcent fc (on this one apparently i now have to give handcent permission to send text messages.. A little pop up shows asking me. Never happened before)

Handcent picture messaging fc (im hoping this is more handcent needing an update than a 4.2 problem)

Overall lag, especially when its anything related to the app switching screen

Lockscreen lag

1 Random reboot

Battery seems the same in my case

New keyboard is awesome

Overall disappointed, wish i could go back to 4.1.2 but im all stock and dont have time to be upkeeping a rooted phone... Its why i switched from my rooted g2, and kept the gnex stock, but now 4.2 screwed it all up :(

Anybody heard of an OTA to fix the issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike.b93:
sounds like something went horribly wrong with your update. I'd go for a factory image flash if i were you... This is not how 4.2 is supposed to run...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roadrunnerx7:
Damn.. Guess ill have to get back into rooting. Oh well.. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Why so many mixed results?, some have a perfect rom and some have a sh**ty one, regardless of OTA or clean install, what could be the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike.b93:
I'd guess it's because of restoring apps and settings and all. Seems like this could lead to problems with a fresh flash.

But I'm not sure about that so my guess is as good as anybody's
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr-noname:
Hi, as cyanogen needs a lit time I went to check 4.2. So clean system and adb. Some new and nice gimicks. System is working per default well. Only explore by touch I will never use again :) Ok I am stupid and did not know how to disable. So battery out off device an new start. Hm explore by touch was active again and described me numbers of my pin by dot. But I was not able to deaktivate. So thanks god the device was rooted and I got a backup. Now installed franco kernel pre 4.2 and system is like liquid butter. A lit I miss all the nice features of cyanogen but at the moment I would say well done. Thx franco for the extra butter ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
You don't have to root your phone in the order to flash 4.2 image... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr-noname:
You are right :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BadBoyR:
No battery improvements for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr-noname:
But tell me how to disable explore by touch when you are not able to login. I said I did adb. Root is needed for the franco setting ok?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
Do you have to root to save all of your data and settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djfoo000:
Thanks a lot. All the sites that report on the OTA just skipped through testing whether it can be activated, and just state that blablabla are the new features in 4.2, which includes Miracast. *SMH*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Does anyone else's recent apps menu act a bit...wonky?

It doesn't seem to follow the app's orientation.

Example: I turned off rotation in portrait mode, I go into a landscape oriented game and press the recents apps button.

In 4.0 and 4.1 the recent apps would be landscape oriented, like the app.

But in 4.2 the screen switches to portrait and displays the recent apps.

Similar thing happenes if you have auto rotate on and open the recent apps up at the launcher and switch the phone to landscape. It will rotate to landscape, even though the app "under" it is forced portrait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mttfrog13:
How is the GPS on the verizon gnex with 4.2? I still have the GPS glitch that was created with the jellybean update. I'm thinking about ditching the verizon gnex and getting the nexus 4 on t-mobile if this GPS glitch isn't fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenkiller:
Miracast is hardware dependent sadly. It's quite a bit different from DLNA which is software replicable as it outputs the phone's display itself instead of streaming video out for another device to decode. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ppsudeki:
for picture that u take, just swipe to right and u will see your gallery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks for pointing out the difference. I'll stick to DLNA, as apposed to rushing out and buying all new equipment to accomplish the same thing I am already doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
I though some people were saying Miracast requires TI's Wi-Fi Display, which the Galaxy Nexus supposedly has?

Running fine so far, but I've already encountered what appears to be an ANNOYING BUG (at least for me). I cannot set my GMail to NOT vibrate for notifications.

Serious Bugs

Yes.. i can confirm that, i experienced 2 times "sleep of death" yesterday.... batt remove to boot.

Just to share what i did (Steps) to install the rom:

1 - TWRP Backup

2 - Cache Wipe (TWRP)

3 - Dalvik Cahce Wipe (TWRP)

4 - Factory Reset (TWRP)

5 - Instal Factory 4.2 (Not OTA)

6 - Instal Recovery (CWM via ADB)

7 - Push Root (SuperSU)

8 - Restore Backups (WugFresh 1.5.5)

As you can see i did "Clean Install" from scratch

i got the feeling 4.2 got some serious bugs...
