Android 4.0.4 factory images hit the web for GSM Galaxy Nexus

[![Android 4.0.4][1] ][2]Sure, [pushing][3] [builds][4] of [Android 4.0.4][5] out over the air is great, but what if you want to keep that unblemished piece of Ice Cream Sandwich for posterity? You could download the [AOSP][6] files, but you'd be missing some vital ingredients from the the official factory images. Thankfully, build IMM76I of Google's mobile OS is available to download in a simple archived format. With this release Big G is also introducing a second version of its software. In addition to the standard "yakju," there's now "takju," which includes Google Wallet and the necessary support files. If you're a safety first kind of guy or gal and like to keep a simple factory reset kit handy (you know, just in case that latest [CM9][7] nightly doesn't work out so well), head on over to the source link to download the untainted Android images.
