Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

I had something similar for my OG and loved it so I had high hopes. I think I might have it set now. I'm going to leave sms alert control in gosms because I had individual contacts set up in there already.

Which reminds me, is there a non-rooted way to use the regular messenger logo instead of the gosms one in my launcher thingy?

Desktop Visualizer. Although I bought the droidicon app and used that for the icon. But a search of icons in Google might get you a usable pic as well.

Confused. You gained root without flashing CWR via adb? When I rooted I pushed the Su zip to the SD, flashed CWR via adb then installed Su zip via CWR.

Go into the market and download rom manager. Islets also called clockwork manager. Then hit the top button that says flash recovery, choose cdma nexus and let it flash. Then choose backup entire system and let it nandroid

I think he flash the maguro recovery and wants to flash Toro recovery via. Clockwork Manager...

See my above post ;-)
 
Made my first call with the device a couple hours ago and cringed when the line started ring. Sounded sick almost like it was under water and the first 30 seconds the call quality made my shake my head. It started to sound better near the end of the call however.

I did not buy a phone here. I bought a pocket tablet that could make an occasional phone call. I text more then I chatter. Ironic ain't it that I am a phone junkie and don't like talking on the phone.

my Droid x kept a stronger 3g signal then my nexus. 4G was slim to none. Outside it did a bit better. Maybe 4g don't have as good building penatration as 3g does

awesome! already had installed rom manager in anticipation of using it later, but it looks like this way much easier than i thought. i opened the app, chose flash clockwork recovery(CDMA), and now it shows current+latest recovery as clockworkmod 5.5.0.4. am i done for now until roms start coming out?

not sure what any of that means.... but i went here http://androidforums.com/galaxy-nexus-all-things-root/452146-how-root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html then went down to "superboot method", downloaded and extracted the zip, went into fastboot and double clicked on the (install-superboot-windows.bat) file

Wow those instructions are sooooo confusing. Koushes method is so much easier.

I remember the days of the old droid 1 when you had to adb push the files and then manually set permissions...

lol, ok, so im going to give a full rundown of what i have done in the order i did it to ensure it was correct...

1)installed all the sdk and correct drivers
2)got into fastboot and did oem unlock to unlock bootloader
3)downloaded the modaco superboot zip and put it inside my sdk tools under a folder i made(gnex superboot)
4)booted phone into fastboot using volume +- and power while plugged into cpu
5)double clicked file within the superboot file i downloaded called "install-superboot-windows.bat" , it automatically did everything from there
6)reboot phone and ensured superuser was there and indeed it was
7)downloaded ROM manager
8)opened rom manager and selected "flash clockworkmod recovery", and it now shows as 5.5.0.4 was the current and latest recovery

i think that is a much simpler summary than i have seen other places and might show people its not as intimidating as it seems

Yep. Read through it 2-3 times before I saw Iowabowhunters post about the process. I think a bunch of people are overthinking it. The hard part was getting adb set up on my new laptop. Had to do it twice to make everything work.

EDIT: ok, so something went wrong somewhere. in an effort to see if i did it right, i rebooted into fastboot then selected recovery to see if CWM was done right, and i got a red triangle over the android with an exclamation point on it.... i missed a step or did something wrong somewhere along the line
