Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Upgrading to Android 4.0.4 ICS via AOKP ROM build 32

Since Ice Cream Sandwich was released last year, custom ROMs based on the software began sprouting like mushrooms. Everyone wants Ice Cream Sandwich on her or his devices, whether it’s official, a port, or a custom ROM developed by some of the dedicated developers in the Android community.
With some custom ROMs improving Ice Cream Sandwich, it’s no wonder that the ROMs are as well-loved as the original software itself. One of these custom ROMs is the Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) ROM. It’s quickly becoming one of the most well-known ROMs among users, thanks to its performance, customizable tweaks, and its famous ROM Control mod feature.
With AOKP Build 32 rolling out, one of the lucky devices to receive the update is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus . The build is packing some interesting features, such as:
  • Camera: Pinch and Volume Zoom
  • General UI: Customizable rotation delay is back!
  • Bluetooth: AVRCP 1.3+ support
  • Lockscreen/NavBar: Allow shortcuts to specify their own icons
  • NavBar: Allow tablets to use “hide NavBar” feature
