Just today, Google announced that it was rolling out Android 4.0.4 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for download, with build IMM76D. The note at that point by JBQ was that the timeline for ROM push for the final build was unknown. 

In a tweet and Google+ post, Google has now noted that Android 4.0.4 images are beginning to push out for the GSM/UMTS Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, and Xoom WiFi. Absent are the CDMA/WiMAX Nexus S on Sprint and the CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, both of which are likely waiting on carrier approval. The update includes bugfixes, stability improvements, faster camera launch (which we've noticed in leaked 4.0.4 builds), and better performance in some areas.

We’ve started rolling out Android 4.0.4, Ice Cream Sandwich, to UMTS/GSM Nexus S, Xoom Wi-Fi, and HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus devices. #android

We're anxiously waiting for our own GSM/UMTS Galaxy Nexus to get the push so we can test out the final build and see what all has changed. Hopefully Google also updates the factory images for Galaxy Nexus pages for those of us who are impatient.

Glibous Reply sgs2? by zinfamous on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 still waiting for samsung to meet their 1st quarter promise on their flagship device. zinfamous Reply RE: sgs2? by KZ0 on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 I'm writing this from a stock SGS2 with ICS. Guess you've just bad luck with the rollout =/ KZ0 Reply RE: sgs2? by shabby on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 He must have the american sgs2, maybe next year? shabby Reply RE: sgs2? by teiglin on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 There's already an I777 leak, but as always, US carriers hold the keys to releasing OS updates for their devices. It's not Samsung's fault if AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile don't push updates to their devices in a timely manner. teiglin Reply RE: sgs2? by zinfamous on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 nope SGS2. the real one. international, unlocked, etc.

KZO--you have official samsung ICS, or CM or something like that?

Samsung released that notice 2 weeks ago, but then retracted the statement. I never saw an update. zinfamous Reply RE: sgs2? by B3an on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 The official GSII ICS update has been rolled out here in the UK.

Being as you have the same international GSII you can go to the XDA developers forum and download the Samsung UK ICS update and flash your phone with that. B3an Reply RE: sgs2? by zinfamous on Thursday, March 29, 2012 Oh, awesome, thanks guys!

I've been paying mere peripheral attention to such things. I'll check this out once I feel I've backed up everything that I need to. zinfamous Reply RE: sgs2? by KZ0 on Thursday, March 29, 2012 Nope, official build. I'm Norweigan, though :) KZ0 Reply RE: sgs2? by kittypuncher on Thursday, March 29, 2012 In the UK - Official ICS updated on the 20th on my SGS2.
CNET has a way of forcing the official update, should you be impatient or have Kies problems. Did this for my wife, as she has a TMobile version and didn't want to wait. No root required for the CNET version either. kittypuncher Reply Subject Comment Post Comment Please login or register to post a comment.
