Install 4.0.4 Google Apps On Your Galaxy Nexus (Download)
I posted earlier about the Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 changelog. You can find that article here.
Included in that change log were some outstanding features such as:
- Holding down the camera button to fucus for those steady shots.
- Browser performance noticeably faster
- Keyboard fixes
- Improved controls within the browser
Of course the 4.0.4 OS is not available for our GSM Galaxy Nexus, but the 4.0.4 Google apps flashable zip has surfaced for our pleasure.
With the 4.0.4 Google apps flashable zip, you will be able to take advantage of the feature listed above, including possible other undiscovered changes. I personally have flashed this on my own Galaxy Nexus and it’s safe. There is a down side however. You will be required to wipe your device then flash the 4.0.4 gapps.zip.

Download 4.0.4 Gapps
Instructions:
- Boot in to ClockWorkRecovery

- Flash your favorite 4.0.3 OS
- Flash the 4.0.4 Gapps immediately after
- Finished!
It’s up to the user whether they can justify wiping their devices for these changes, but for those of us who are addicted to flashing roms, this shouldn’t be an issue.
