Android developer Jean-Baptiste Queru, or JBQ as he’s so lovingly called, has announced today that Android 4.0.4 is finally being pushed into the Android Open Source Project.

According to JBQ, Android 4.0.4 features “a few hundred changes over 4.0.3,” and it “matches the update that has been sent to a few devices since yesterday” (more on that below). As previously mentioned by Google, “files related to CDMA devices have not been tested in the context of AOSP.” There’s no solid timeframe for when 4.0.4 will reach all of the various Google Experience Devices out there, but some devices are already seeing the update.

The WiFi version of the Motorola Xoom has already been pushed the update, and an update file for the Nexus S has made available online.

That’s right, after months of waiting for Google to finally get their act together, an Android 4.0.4 update file for the Samsung Nexus S has finally been uploaded to Google’s servers, ready to be manually flashed over the botched update to Android 4.0.3.

Coming in at just 18MB, today’s update for the Nexus S is meant strictly for flashing over Android 4.0.3. It has been confirmed to work on both the i9023, and i9020-T (the T-Mobile Nexus S variant). There’s good reason to believe 4.0.4 should hit be available as an over the air update sooner than later, but if you don’t want to wait to receive it on your stock Nexus S, you can download it directly from Google now.

According to those who have successfully flashed the update to 4.0.4, it runs much smoother than 4.0.3, and features quite a few big fixes to well documented problems.

To check and see if your Xoom is ready for the update, simply head to Settings > About tablet. For GSM Nexus S users, check XDA for more info.

I’ve been running CM9 nightly builds on my Nexus S for quite some time now, but I may revert back to stock to see if the update fixes any major problems. Let us know if you’ve given the update a shot.

Update: Google just announced that Android 4.0.4, Ice Cream Sandwich, is rolling out to mutiple devices. The latest update includes “stability improvements, better camera performance, smoother screen rotation, improved phone number recognition and more.” Some devices are seeing Ice Cream Sandwich for the first time, while others are receiving updates from previous versions of Android 4.x.

More devices will be supported soon, but the first wave of devices includes:

UMTS/GSM Nexus SXoom WiFiHSPA+ Galaxy NexusDevices we expect to be upgraded in the “coming weeks” include:Sprint Nexus S 4GVerizon Galaxy NexusVerizon Xoom 4G

Current rumors suggest the Verizon Galaxy Nexus will see a newer Android 4.0.5 as soon as April, so it could be skipping Android 4.0.4 entirely.

Congrats to all users of these devices. I’m sure that the dev community will have 4.04 headed out to the rest of us soon. Rocking Gummy ROM on my Droid 2 Global and my Droid X right now and loving it

FulamanGuest 10 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0

I’m curious if this 4.0.4 will be made available by devs on devices running CM9, AOKP, or any other ICS based ROMs. I’m curious how much better this is than 4.0.3, and in addition to that, what other modifications have been added to this latest update.

Grats to people who are getting it.

I’m gonna go ahead and guess you’re Richard (or just as stupid) based upon this rhetoric that makes little sense and the inability to use you’re instead of your. Knowledge is power.

@jonathan3579…Guess you think your judge or jury. Your just another misguided soul on this site. At least you have a face while the others are cowardly hiding behind made up names and the vail of secretcy. Piss on them and you.

“Google will fix this issue then what will everyone who owns a Nexus device will be saying??” ~Quote by Richard Yarrell about a day ago right here: http://androidandme.com/2012/03/news/google-sucks-at-upgrading-their-own-devices-to-android-4-0/
Apparently, you’ll be complaining because you didn’t get the update on your “bitch/pimp slapping” Galaxy Nexus. What a f*cking two-faced crybaby. You can’t have your cake and eat it too Richard. Surely, you of all people should know this Mr. Rumors-Are-100%-True-And-I-Believe-Them-All. Grow up.

I already have the update on my xoom. And it’s not rooted or anything. That’s odd.

Let’s see how fast ASUS gets this on the Transformer Prime.

Hopefully the Prime update that Asus has been talking about is an “unofficial” part of the 4.0.4 rollout.

You have to downgrade back to 2.3.6 and then go back up and then update again.

GoodieGuest 7 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0

How do you go back down to 2.3.6, do you have to root? Where are the files?

Wtf! Nice to see most of us still sitting and waiting for any kind of update ….

NutzGuest 8 hours ago Thumb upThumb down -2

The Galaxy Nexus on Verizon already got this update like 2 months ago. It was the first to get it and it made a huge difference in the performance and stability of the device.
