Default [INFO][REVIEW] Android 4.0.4 IMM76D

I know, I know...a useless thread. But I can't control my excitement!

Updated my Nexus S i9023 to 4.0.4 OTA provided by Google.

My first impression: Noticeably faster!

Going to cover everything in points:

1. The time lag between clicking & opening menu items is now negligible, just like Gingerbread.
2. The camera from lockscreen loads up faster.
3. The rotation animation is faster.
4. Battery bug is fixed!
5. 3D apps load up faster...
6. Overall a faster & better update by Google.
7. I think Ice Cream Sandwich was not finished until December, but now it feels a finished/polished product.

Pros:
Animations faster
Whole UI is noticeably smoother

Cons:
Launcher still lags
Kernel is updated, but the version is still old.
Old GB sounds

Want to update?

1. Make sure you are on Stock 4.0.3 and you haven't changed anything in the system. If you have...don't worry...flash the 4.0.3 ROM again from here.

2. Download 4.0.4 IMM76D from here.
The OTA package is around 17MB.

3. Boot into CWM. Flash the 4.0.4, Reboot and you are good to go.

Update: The ROM is rootable, download this zip and flash in CWM to root.

You'll surely feel the difference.

Some snips coming soon.
