[msndrstood]

I got ICS 4.0.4 about 5 minutes ago, still checking it out! Yay! OTA push.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Thanks for the tip! It worked. The phone is rebooting and upgrading as I type. Funny that I had to do that step, as well as manually choose to reboot after the file unzipped.

I'm mainly eager for the enhanced voice to text and the synchronizing of my browser bookmarks from computer to phone. What a benefit, though I'm sure there are more than those.

Everytime I try to download the zip file it says download unsuccessful and never starts to download. Anyone know what that's about?

Things I've noticed so far.
Panoramic Camera-stock camera option
Less ability to customize the volume bars (no big deal)
Under Display you can increase system font
Under Wireless Networks there is a VPN option
Under Sound there is an option "Music Effects (with two options on it for me, MusicFx; which keeps FCing on me, and Volume+)
Under Language and Input you can toggle Keyboard settings (such as vibrate)

Can someone verify that Hot-Spot works? Mine turns on with zero error, but do not want to accidentally get billed for it.

I'm having a problem getting the ICS update, either via OTA or my the manual method outlined in the first post in the thread. Hopefully someone can help me out . . . .

When I try to use the manual method I get the following error when ClockworkMod Recovery attempts to execute the update.zip file: "assert failed: apply_patch_check: /system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so" Installation aborted."

In the past I had applied Pete's CRESPO4GTETHERFIX to my phone and I'm pretty sure that the fix replaced my original libsec-ril.so file with a new one and this is messing up the update process.

Is there anyway I can fix this and get my phone up to ICS 4.0.4?? If I have to lose the tether fix to get ICS then so be it.

Thanks for any help and suggestions . . .

I am running the stock 2.3.7 ROM, but I have a custom kernel installed along with CWM. Do I have any way to upgrade to ICS without losing apps/data?

I'm thinking I could install the stock kernel and then unroot? If that would work, I just need to locate the stock kernel as it's not in any of the kernel threads.

Also, what is pointer speed?

You can make Titanium or MyBackup Root backup of your apps/data and then once you get on ICS.... Redownload your apps, then restore data only to them.

Anybody notice flickering on wake?

Common complaint in ICS....

Running with a custom kernel eliminates most of it.

I got "signature verification failed". Anyone knows how to resolve the issue? Thanks!

Issue resolved. ICS updated successfully.

My issue was Mac related. Mac OS would automatically expand the zip file when you click on the link. The ICS update will fail if you try to compress the file back and use it. Instead you will need to right mouse click on the file link, and select "Download Linked File as..." Save the file as "update.zip", load it onto your NS4G, and you are good to go.

Good call, thanks.

I've made a 4.0.4 version of the "One Click Return to Stock" that you have stickied in the ROM section. I'll reply to that thread with a link when it's done uploading. This will make it so people don't have to go to 2.3.4 and then step through the updates to get the OTA.

 

[fareal]

I'm rooted with stock rom. What happens if I just run the update?

 

[d14racer24]

After a long day at work and a post-work nap, I woke up to a notification to install ICS. What a nice little surprise.

Good stuff..

Yep its not a hard deal, just swap out the images.
