Should i update to JB now or later?

flash it now. Just make a backup. If you don't like it, flash back and it'll be like it never happened...

Alright so i did some research on this and other sites and from what i've seen, the most stable and usable ROMs with little bugs and issues, is Vanirbean (JD's rom) and Jelly Belly. In your opinion, which of these two are the best to use? Or are there others that work just as well?

I flashed yesterday without any problems. Of course be smart and make a back up. Also it helps to wipe cache and data 3-4 times. If you back up your apps with Titanium Do Not Restore system data. I flashed Varibean and it works wait any issues at all.

Isn't it that flash player is built into html5 and we just won't be needing adobe to handle it for us?

Amen! Brother

Or you could wait for source to drop in a few weeks since source normally drops around the time a Nexus gets an OTA.

What fun would that be? No sitting on the sidelines with a Nexus.

I ran Vanirbean first. It was good but still far too buggy by the time I left it. I'm now on Jelly Belly and it's rock solid. They're up to version 1.8 with a ton of fixes. Give it a shot, you'll be happy with it.

???

...well?

What new camera thing?

Also, speaking from experience, backup your stock ROM and jellybelly ROM to your PC or other device.

I've had bootloop issues where I had to flash the factory stock img and you never know if it's going to happen to you or not.

It varies. You should wipe data (if coming from ANY other rom).

you should find this link helpful: http://rootzwiki.com/forum/362-vzw-galaxy-nexus-development/

When I went from ICS and JB and back I performed:
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
format system
format cache
format data
super wipe

I personally did not loose pictures or music when I did this.

Since IM not rooted, if I root and flash jb I won't lose the money I have in my gw? Just wanted to make sure.

Well if you aren't rooted you can not flash JB in the first place.

Sure you can. Just as long as he's unlocked. Just fast boot a custom recovery and flash a pre-rooted JB ROM. Boom. Done.

And once you re add your wallet account, all your money will be there.
