Flashed this morning with CWM. Only problem I had was a few hard hacks I had done. I moved the stock files back and tada....
Still rooted and CWM recovery.

Noticeably faster. Screen rotation is very quick and sensitive, almost too sensitive. WiFi connects faster, as well as screen input to action times.

I would flash from adb if I did not have a custom recovery. Then I would go root and install a custom recovery.

It just makes life easier to own your device and not let your device own you like an apple.

I'm stubbornly waiting for the OTA update. With a Verizon GNex, I'm so used to getting shafted on updates and therefore have to do them myself, I just want it to happen, like magic. I want to experience an update directly from Google in a timely manner just to see what that feels like.

I unfroze all the useless Google crap I previously disabled (Currents, Books, Movies, Magazines) so though I'm rooted, I'm now totally stock and should be good to go. Bring it Google!

I have custom recovery (CWM) and SuperSU so I manually updated (thanks Rx!) after doing fresh Titanium and Nandroid backups and putting SuperSU in survival mode. I'm using Motleys kernel, still showing in the about screen for that, but going to re-flash it again anyway.

But all is well in Nexus land. Got my LAMP server running with a Drupal website and my own email server to service registration requests. Only thing left is to find a VPN host that will allow static IP's so I can domain this thing, set up DNS and Google Bots. But going to see if I can do it through tether to my HTC rezound 1st, then VPN host as next alternative.
