Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Thanks, Ryan. I just rebooted, didn't sign in, pushed the file and booted back into recovery. Was just hoping there was a faster method to do solely in recovery.
AOKP seems to be running just fine. Restored all my apps. Haven't delved into the options yet. 4G is just fine; heard some folks had problems connecting to it in the earlier betas.
 
My flashing procedure

1. wipe everything 4 times. why 4? if is one better than 3. actually I do it in-case something is missed

2. flash jb bootloader. i'm not sure you need to do it every time, but i do.

3. flash rom. reboot.

4. flash gapps. reboot.

5. power off. let sit 10 minutes or more.

6. flash kernel. let sit.

7. set phone back up.
 
^ that's intense. I recall when I had my Droid, folks would wipe things so many times and some really heated discussions evolved from there. :rolleyes:
Not even sure if I have flashed the JB bootloader, maybe? :confused:
I have it downloaded to my PC (don't ask about the Downloads folder, it's a nightmare :o), and assumed I've flashed it. Anyway to check?
 
Not sure if you can check to see if a bootloader is flashed?

Even with all that I do, every time I try the brightness button on the power widget it never works.
 
Works fine on mine with the fresh flash. Don't even know where to find it to wipe data/cache? Have you tried third party control widgets to see if they work?
 
I wipe the caches. fix permissions many times. It just usually doesnt' work. Actually it will work the first time I press it but then stops. I just go to the setting and adjust.
 
Haven't been following much of the news, but can someone give me the gist of the Wallet update? Can I just use the card that's stored for Play purchases? And with wiping and ROMing, there's no problems since the secure element is stored on Google servers?
Only used it once back in December and haven't bother since, but if it can be direct debited from my debit card, I'll give it another look.
 
Morning everyone! A scorching hot day in Lake George today. Hoping for some pool time later. And I know we are doing Hibatchi tonight. Yum!

Welcome to our fun corner of crazy Dana!
 
Speaking of Google Wallet. I had $4.64. After just now logging in, I now have $2.64 left. I haven't used it since it was last $4.64.
 
Sounds like a fantastic weekend, BB! :)
We're doing brunch at a friends place and hopefully catching Dark Knight later.
Enjoy the pool, it's definitely a day for it.
 
Hey all...again...I heard there was a way to check the boot loader..haven't done that yet, but it only needs to be flashed once.
Also, as much as I admire the extra wipes etc....here is my process:
Backups first...then boot to recovery (I am using twrp...) for a dirty flash, I just wipe dalvik and cache...for a clean I run the factory reset and then wipe dalvik and cache...after wiping I install the ROM and gapps then fix permissions then reboot system. It really is best for me to install ROM and gapps on the same recovery session, never had a single issue that way, but if I split it up...yeah, bad news for Nexy!
Log in but only restore TIBU, if I did a clean install, I then restore all missing apps, (no system apps!!!)..or at least the apps I want back on there....let it sit about 5 min, connect to Google etc.
Then reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik, install mods etc, wipe dalvik, set permissions...reboot system. And all done.
I have been doing this since I got the phone, basically same process originally with CWMR and aokp and not had a single issue with Wallet or anything else (unless you count incompatible mods...)
I also only flashed the JB boooader once, after the ROM I am using went AOSP....I am running jelly belly and could not be happier....plus I am using an app called notification toggles from Play...works great!!
I am finally getting over 4 hours screen on time on stock battery and stock kernel-as long as I am not downloading, flashing, messing with a ROM update during the day since I only have 4g at work, no WiFi.

BB hope you have a great time!!

BTW if anyone plays sky rim?? Add me as a friend?? Let me know so I can add you on Steam??

I have not had any issues with Wallet, been using it since December. Basically you can now add any card you want. When you use the phone to pay, the store ONLY gets the payment info from Google, not your card info. Then Google bills your card, with no fees. Its a great idea, but works best at a store that takes pay pass....ummm....not too many in my area!!!
One thing to keep in mind is its not connected to Play in any way. Totally separate things. So you would just add the cards you want to use to wallet all by itself.
 
Ah, thanks Ryan!
Maybe another dumb question since I've been so out of the loop. Where is the best way to get the .apk? I know it was in the Play Store, but when I first used it it was side loaded.

Yes, I know you do. I did tell you if I won that I would get you one. If you private message me your info, I will pick one out for you from our local shop and mail it to you. If my local shop doesn't still have them, then I will find one online! However, I would expect a photo of you wearing it when you receive it! :D:smokingsomb::viking::viking::viking:

Awesome deal.

EarlyMon said:
LoL I guess I had forgotten about that. :)

And I would totally wear it, our place has been home to no less than 6 sock monkies! (yes,the number has grown) :)

I'll make a request in its place, if I may.

Please donate the equivalent to a children's charity of your choice.

With thanks and love from all of us monkies over here. ;) :)

Becoming a Guide
I like most other greenies usually have about 5-10+ tabs just from different forums open at all times. :D
(and the Watering Hole doesn't hurt my post count either ;))

Actually, I just retired the monkey wallpaper off of my phone and replaced with Spike's ship, the Swordfish, to match my avatar.

I guess I need to see if a monkey wants to make a guest appearance for a photo shoot with my phone.

Hmmmmmmm....... bang!
 
Well we had a change in plans. Doing anything with 10 people is a huge headache. 3 ended up at the pool and the rest of us went to Oscar's Smoke House in Warrensburg NY. If you don't have a good place to get smoked meat they are well worth the shipping costs. Now we are in search of fresh corn. Then back to the campground. Dinner plans changed too - no hibatchi. Now its corn and steak. The steak will be done over charcoal. Mmmm.

Hope everyone is having a good day!
 
Last night, on a whim, I decided to order a chorus pedel for my guitar. It came in today as I was headed out to work, but it was a short day, so. On the way home I started to think where the extra patch cables where and figured I could not find them. Well, I didnt, so I headed back up to bestbuy, picked up a couple, a 2pk of batteries and got home, plugged the box into my chain and started to dink around.

Why did I wait so long to get one of these!? Its an Electro Harmonix Small Clone analog chorus pedel, which, should sound pretty good on its own, but its stepped up a bit as its running through a tube amp (epiphone). This thing is going to be fun. The sound is great. While messing around, I switched on the reverb pedel (EHX holygrail) and got some interesting sounds.
