AOSP Browser from Nexus 4 !!! - AT&T LG Optimus G

I was browsing the Nexus 4 forum and came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999303
So, I thought why not on my LGOG. I understand that we are running ICS and they are already on 4.2.x.
Grabbed the zip file and flashed it on my phone.
Flashed successfully. Great.
Rebooted my phone. No problems.
Tried the browser. Looks a little different, faster and has more options.

Ok, here's the zip file I used to flash on my phone.

I flashed it, and I still have the same browser as before?

I think it'd the AOSP 4.2 browser since chrome for android is not open source yet. Would love to see chromium in the future though.

Should I wait for the official ICS update?

Seriously???
that's really up to you - i went ahead and flashed the leaked official ATT ICS version and it's been working excellent. It does not have the Premium Suite but its got most everything else - and i also sideloaded the S-Note from the premium suite

IMO, just wait and stay on GB with root. One thing I miss is stability and more RAM.

flash unofficial best there is...hands down!
Have you ever rooted before? Installed an alternate recovery like CWM? Flashed a ROM? Created a nandroid backup? Cleared caches? Formatted system or data? Used ADB? Used Titanium backup? Run non-stock launchers? Modified system files such as build.prop?
If not, search for everything I just listed, and start reading. None of it is really hard to do, but having a basic understanding of each of those moving pieces is going to be key to running a stable custom ROM.
Most custom roms have install instructions in the OP. If the basic steps there confuse you, then please don't rush anything and START READING!
Good luck!

I agree. The Unofficial 2.0b4 is a very stable, capable, and low-maintenance ROM to install and get your feet wet...
I just switched to the unofficial this weekend and have enjoying it quite a bit.

you can only install roms that are built for your specific device. Trying to install roms meant for other phones will likely break (aka "brick" ) your phone. So no, you cannot install the Galaxy Nexus ROMs on your Note
Luckily, our Note currently has several ICS options to pick from.
First, read up on how to install and use Clockworkmod Recovery (aka "CWM" ). Once again, only install the version that is mean for our i717 AT&T Note.
Then, as I said before, I recommend "The Unofficial v2.0 Beta4" as a stable first ICS rom. Go to its thread and start studying...
I love:

Google Now

Has anyone tried putting Google Now on the Razr HD? It can be run on ICS. I have had some trouble getting it to run properly.
Has anyone else given it a try?

No, it doesn't come stock. It comes stock in Jelly Bean, not ICS. There is a way to get it working on ICS but I can't get out to work on this phone. I also don't want to try anything too crazy until recovery is developed so I can Nandroid.

I thought I read that too. P3 always comes out with these hacks so quickly. He'll probably have a Jelly Bean release soon enough. Recovery will be nice, so we can play around and know we have a nandroid. Also, with recovery, themes and roms are not too far off.

I'm on the kissing cousin of the Razor HD, the Atrix HD, we don't have recovery yet either, I'm on a stock, rooted, odexed ROM, and the manual method worked great for me. Like I said, "Flawless". If you read through the thread, you'll see some that have installed on odexed ROMs with no problems. The OP stated that while it will work on an odexed ROM, he hasn't tested it out on one.
It's very easy, and painless if you follow the VERY simple instructions to the letter.

If you followed the directions step by step, you should only need to rename your googlesearch apk back to it's original name.

Yes you are right. I didn't realise at the time AT&T have their own forum and with it been posted in the N7100 forum I shared on here. Ive been flashing some of their roms over the past few days and currently trying Jedi and seems to be working great apart from slight battery drain which of course would be put right with a kernal from our section.

Yes the battery drain is a huge hit to the face imo so i always advise people to flash a proper kernel. Yes the i317 and the n7105 are very very similar and they will work for each other...but always beware of that cause it can lead to a bricked device on rare occasion if the proper steps are not taken

What 4.4 rom can I use?

I have a Verizon S4 rooted and with Safetrap installed. I formatted a couple slots within SS so I could test out a rom or 2. I think, from reading, that I cannot use any ASOP version roms. Correct me if I'm wrong
I checked both development forums before I wrote so if I missed any thing please let me know.
Plus after you create a slot within in SS do you have to do any thing to the partitions or any thing else so you can run a rom?
Thanks for any help
