Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I can't for the life of me get widgets to show up in the widget menu right after installation from the market. Is there some way to force a refresh? Eventually they do show up, maybe hours later.

EDIT: Frankly, I know this widgets menu thing is supposed to be nice, but I find it to be much harder to use than the old name-list-menu.
 
OK, I thought I would finally be brave and flash my first ROM but when I went into Rom Manager and told it to install the ROM it came to a picture of an android with a red triangle on it and it just sits there. What is wrong?

Agreed.

I usually restart the phone to get them to show up, which is obnoxious though.

You probably didn't delete the boot-from-recovery.p file in /system did you?

Looks liek the stock recovery is overwriting CWM on boot.

Since he's flashing a rom an easy fix is to just hit flash recovery and then reboot into recovery and flash the rom. No renaming needed :-)

Dang! Looks like I will be starting all over again. I have superuser in my drawer so I thought I was good to go. Thanks for that insight.

What did you use with DVD Catalyst to convert the Blu-rays.
I tried Anydvd Hd. i think I my have a problem with my Blu-ray drive in my computer because DVD Catalyst will no read my Blu-Rays, but it will read my DVDs.

If you have AnyDVD HD, make sure you enable the "Bluray" checkmark in (enable Power User mode) Global Settings > Bluray.

No need to start over.

Just use a file manager, mount system as R/W and rename boot-from-recovery.p to boot-from-recovery.bak and then reflash CWM through ROM Manager.

FINALLY! It's not just me! Been asking and looking around for two days if anyone else has the same issue. It's definitely the widget app drawer. I can find them when I long press on the screen(ROM I am on has that option baked in) but they do not show in the drawer until after a reboot.
 
Got my numbers swapped out. Unlimited 4g data ftw :D

Have to wait a bit to change voice plans but thats okay. Oh and got an extendes battery on its way for 25 bucks. Hope its the official one

OK, I find a file called recovery-from-boot.p Is that it? Great! Astro says I have insufficient permissions.

NM. Problem solved. Using wrong file manager.
Thanks again.
 
Alrighty, finally rooted today since I had an hour free for if things went bad. Since they didn't only took a couple minutes.
I'm just rooted with no CWR. Is there any benefit to doing that now vs later? I'm going to hold out on ROMS likely until CM9 comes out. Just not sure what that really gives me now since the process seems less straightforward at this point that I remember it being for the OG Droid after a few months.
 
I'm down to 18% with the Android OS now showing 54%. I hardly touch my phone while at work and it went up.

I think I am going to go home and grab the box and go exchange it.

Mine has dropped 3% since I changed the settings so it's still dropping pretty fast.

Android OS 50%
Screen 25%

How the heck did you do that? Best Buy wouldn't honor it and when I called Verizon they said that it was gone and they couldn't get it back. :(
