Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

So I restored to my backup this morning as I was getting a lot of FC with TT and some other apps. I'll wait a week or so and try again.:(

Flash rom first. Reboot. Reboot again into recovery. Flash goodies. Reboot.

Halon, I'm not sure what Popcorn scripts so I can't speak to that one do but Rootzwiki was very specific about goodies.

A lot of people are flashing the ROM and goodies a the same time and experiencing huge problems. Those problems are eliminated if you flash the ROM, reboot, set it up, go back into recovery, and flash goodies.

But I flashed this one:

| ROM | AXI0M FLOW | JELLYBEAN | 4.1 | - GALAXY NEXUS - droidHIVE Forums

Has beats baked in. And I really like DT's work.

Thank you both :)

How is the one you flashed, Han?
 
Good morning all, today is much quieter so far than yesterday. It's amazing what a little power outage will do to a facility full of computer equipment.

I mowed my backyard last night in anticipation of the crazy heat over the next few days. The front yard is centipede/sod (can't remember which) that goes dormant when it's really hot so I didn't mow it. :p I've got plenty of indoor things to do this weekend to keep me busy

Tried to get up early today for a bikeride but I just couldn't do it. Didn't sleep well last night. It will be in the upper 70s tomorrow morning early so I'll try again.
 
I am completely run down. The past 2 days at work I was lucky enough to be picked to work outside in this crazy heat cutting up the front of a locomotive for a rebuild. Which means wearing full work gear and using a torch.

Ouch! have a beer on me to cool off :beerglass:
 
Luckily I used a vacation day today and today is supposed to be hotter than the last two. I'll possibly be going to see my nephews playoff game today, haven't been able to see him play this season yet. Then off to Monaca, PA...north west of Pittsburgh. And possibly throwing in a new version of JB at some point.
 
Our cable and internet is down. :(:mad:
Its not even storming. So 3G for me till its back. Thank goodness for unlimited data - can run the whole house if need be
 
Working with databases in Android is quite crazy - this is a lot of code.

I think my biggest annoyance is going back and forth between Unix (shell scripting at work) and Java / Javascript at home for Android and iOS.

Nerd problems.
 
(1) has anyone here had problems flashing v5?

(2) It seems, from reading fora threads, that the Nexus wants to self-destruct when reverting to an ICS backup. Is that accurate?

EDIT: Because of #2, I am VERY apprehensive about flashing this. If things go south, I haven't got the time to fix it today. As much as I'm dying to try it, I think I shall wait until AOKP JB comes out. It won't take long :)

EDIT EDIT: Someone talk me out of it! I want to flash this baby NOW!

Sticking with v2.1... Its stable, and stock-like, just how I like it.
 
Can you say choppy?

That's it... no flashy.

From Rootzwiki:

"I am experienced with rom flashing and I just got myself out of bootloop hell. I tried to install a different rom and it would just bootloop. Then tried a restore of a backup and of course failed installing data like everyone else. I can not install any other rom or any backup at all and am not stuck on this rom. The only thing I could do is re-install v3 of this rom. And the strange thing is that when it booted up it was just as if I never left it. Everything was the way I left it earlier. It seems to be protected and not allowing anything else to be flashed.

I am hoping someone will figure out a way out of this rom without going back and starting all over from stock. Maybe someone has but I have not found it yet."

The last thing I need is this kind of trouble.
 
That's odd Chief, I flashed some version of JB but was getting force closes, so I restored with no problem.
 
Well Pup, I'm glad it's working for you guys. Ginny has taken everything I've thrown at her so far... but I have my limits as to what I will throw at her. If this many people are having this kind of trouble with backing out of a JB ROM, then I will (a) either wait for AOKP JB or (b) try another JB ROM that I can actually get out of.

I did DL SuperWipe that apparently wipes stuff better than CWM (not sure how); but hesitant to flash this thing nonetheless.
 
IF you use Face Unlock you now have the option to add blinking since people are able to just use a picture of some to unlock phones. Why don't they just do retina scans already?
 
Hmm, I was wary about trying out JB, but the ROM that Han posted with Beats audio baked in seems pretty awesome.

Han, any further feedback on using it?

Uh oh... wonder if that is unique to v3? JB, didn't you flash back to B40 after loading it the first time?
