News Android 4.0.4 OTA update for Verizon Galaxy Nexus leaked

An Android Central forum member was lucky enough to receive the Android 4.0.4 OTA update on his Verizon Galaxy Nexus before anyone else. The update has since been extracted and made available for everyone else to download and install.

As you may know, the Galaxy Nexus was still running on Android 4.0.2, which had a couple of issues and was also lacking a few things that were added in 4.0.3 that was released for the Nexus S. This new update brings the Galaxy Nexus up to speed and also changes some of the problems that the previous version had.
The people at xda-developers have compiled a list of changes in the new version, which they are constantly updating. Among the things that they have added so far includes:

• Faster performance.
• Android OS bug fixed (in battery stats)
• Improved 3G/4G switching.
• Improved signal strength.
• New Power Menu. New from 4.0.2, similar to the one on the 4.0.3 ROM.
• Faster boot-up time.
• Auto-brightness Functionality changed. Smoother transition.
• Holding down camera button now refocuses again.
• Multitouch issue seems resolved.
• Autorotate is faster.
• Browser performance noticeably improved.
• Recent apps list opens faster.
• Miscellaneous camera UI changes.
• Increased volume.
• Keyboard fixes.
• Updated News & Weather app UI.
• Improved quick controls in browser, similar to the ones in 4.0.3.
