When Google announced its newest build of Android, what
we now know to be Android 4 . 4 KitKat, we were very
surprised to hear that the Galaxy Nexus would not be
receiving an update from Google itself . This was not only
surprising because the Galaxy Nexus is the next most recent
Nexus device after the Nexus 4 , but also because Google
made waves with its assurance that Android 4 . 4 would run
on devices with only 512MB RAM , a criteria that the Galaxy
Nexus meets comfortably . Understandably, owners of the
phone were understandably upset , but not to be deterred ,
some determined developers over at XDA have knocked out
a CyanogenMod 11 ROM for the Galaxy Nexus which will
give the phone some of that KitKat goodness.
The ROM is technically still in beta due to some “ missing
common [ CyanogenMod] features” , but other than some
minor issues with the camera and screenshot functions, the
ROM looks like it is stable and works pretty well.
