This is my first kernel on the Galaxy Nexus. I came from working on two previous kernels on the Droid Incredible.
The kernel will only work on JB and is carrier independent as all Galaxy Nexus kernels are from 4.0.3 onwards. It uses the AnyKernel updater method so it's compatible with ANY ROM.
IMPORTANT: On 3.3.0/1.12.0 and higher, the WiFi drivers from the Linux 3.4 kernel branch breaks WEP functionality. Also, to ROM devs that want to bake in this kernel into their ROM, they will need to pull the hostapd file included into their /system/bin or WiFi tethering will not work.
*NOTE* starting with 4.0.1 there is now a Jellybean 4.1 version as well as a Jellybean 4.2 build with the old WiFi driver
Please pay attention to the zip you're downloading
*NOTE* 5.0 and higher are based on Android 4.3. It is not recommended to be flashed on Android 4.2.2 or older ROMs.
*NOTE* 5.5 has both ASRAM and non ASRAM versions
