Damn....I was loving this ROM, but I just got my first incoming call and got the mute/unmute bug. Can't have that, when there are a number of ICS ROM's that don't. Once that is fixed, back to it in a heartbeat.

I test this rom and find this little bit of laggy and it take a long to open the app and the camera/video is a bit jerky too you have to sit still not to move the camera when taking a picture. It a nice rom but not the fastest but it smooth. There alot of work on this rom.

Thanks, I had found those, and am using them, but I meant like in AOKP when you click the settings icon in the notification bar, a switch menu drops down, and if you long press it it takes you to settings.

Hmmm, it works well in my case (if I long press on "wifi" toggle it will open wifi settings etc). However, I'm on Platypus 3.0.8 a6 Kernel (could be a kernel related issue?).

Two strange things happened to me today that moved me to change the stock kernel:
one, it just rebooted when waiting for the wifi to connect;
two, the lockscreen will become "zoomed-in" when receiving a phone call that it was barely possible to wipe the shortcut for the answer (it was almost outside of my display).

Still testing the Platypus Kernel (the one that gave me the best GPS and speed in the times of the Onecosmic's ICS), since had no luck in flashing the other newer ones.

I'm lovin' it! First rom I've tried that can go to deep sleep, and have the GPS still work. My only issue is that NDrive randomly closes, but I'll try to change some memory settings to see if that fixes it.

*Edit*
Found another issue: adb doesn't work. It gives me this error message:

reloc_library[1314]: 2536 cannot locate 'android_log_setColoredOutput'...
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

I develop on this phone, is there a way to fix that?

*Edit 2*
Nevermind, just saw the update. Downloading now! :D

Lol got the:

"welcome to your galaxy nexus email!"

After I installed this.

What is the reason for that email?

Because ICS was meant for GNex, so if its installed on a unknown device it auto sends a email.
I got it first when ICS Passion was released :p

Anyways, I'm taking a plunge on this ROM today, since i've heard its so damn fast etc. haha
:D wish me luck im coming from ICZ so i have high expectations ;)

So is the new update worse? Apart from the mute/unmute issue. Im reading its slower.

Same here, it's fast, no mute issues, really quick I can't tell if the transitions are fast or its the ROM

I flashed 1.3 this morning and then flashed the experia GPS files. Confirmed working GPS, let it deep sleep for about 8 minutes and was able to get locks again. Let it deep sleep for over an hour and got locks again (it took longer after the longer deep sleep). Battery life has been superb and I have not experienced any lag.

Bravo on this ROM. Now to see what was changed in the 1.3.1 update...

1.3 has been very smooth for me, only bug I found so far is the swipe to answer is zoomed in and almost can't get it when receiving a call (3/4 of it are off the screen).

I'm gonna hold off on 1.3.1 since I cant find a real reason to flash it. 1.3 is working great for me.

No unmute/mute issue for me on v1.3.1. The reboot in power menu now works correctly in v1.3.1 instead of rebooting in to recovery. This rom is rock solid and if speed and some important addon features are what you want then this is the rom for you.

    I focus to fix mute/unmute now. I should have a guide that you could flash another kernel in the future.

    P/s: In next release. This is more fast and smooth. :)

    I haven't flashed this rom in particular, but with my experience from yesterday coming from Zen 2.2 to ICS 4.0.3, I had to make sure that I followed these steps for the easiest success.
    MAKE SURE USB DEBUGGING IS ENABLED BEFORE DOING ANYTHING :)
    1. Had CWM installed and ready.
    2. Downloaded the last stable version of CM7 found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297792
    3. Made sure battery power was up to the max.
    4. Restarted in recovery.
    5. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
    6. Wipe Cache
    7. Install CM7 from zip on sd
    8. It went into boot loop, took out battery and restarted into recovery.
    9. Different recovery came up, reinstalled CM7 from zip
    10. CM7 installed and booted, updated CWM for 3.x
    11. Downloaded ICS Rom
    12. Restarted into recovery
    13. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
    14. Wipe Cache
    15. Install ICS Rom from zip

    Every time I rebooted to recovery I did it manually instead of from a menu. Holding the three buttons in other words. You might get a bootloop while ICS Rom installs, too. I just did the same thing I did with CM7 and popped battery out and retried. Worked like a charm. Now I'm running ICS. They say you can do it without CM7 as an intermediate, but I just got a Frozen Vibrant/Samsung screen when trying to do it. Luckily you can do download mode and restore factory from odin and retry again if you want. Hope this helps.
