[Verizon] [ROM]JDX (formerly Jelly Belly) AOSP+ - v15 (7/28)

Thank you guys for letting everyone else know the problem, the solution and the REASON for the solution. You'd be amazed at how many lurkers are here, reading our stuff for nuggets of information yet never posting.

Hey lurkers: come on in, the water's fine and we won't bite! :)

Actually, after reading your comments (and a few others), I'm strongly considering TWRP, now.

In all honesty, I'm having no issues with CWM Touch, as its served me since the OG Droid...but it sounds like a number of people are making the transition. If it's indeed faster than making backups via CWM, it's likely worth it.
 
So any further opinions on TWRP hanging at the splash screen? Keep in mind I have done a complete reset to stock since then so bugs may be less likely, but if everyone is experiencing it I'll stick with CWMR

Same here. I really enjoy CWM Touch but will have to take can look at TWRP.
(Especially if Chief is endorsing it!)

The very bottom one, "Factory Images "mysid" for Galaxy Nexus "toro" (CDMA/LTE)", is the verizon stock 4.0.4 image. "maguro" is the GSM version. And there is no stock image on google for the sprint "toroplus" version.

Thanks! Didn't see that. I was looking at the top listing and I do not see it listed up there, but now do see it after scrolling to the bottom of the page. Thanks again!

When I had to flash all the way back to stock and start over, Wug's Toolkit did it all. You select what you want to do, it'll tell you when to connect your phone to the PC, and it runs the ADB/fastboot commands automatically for you.

The issue, though, is this: IF you flash all the way back to locked stock, it will take you clear back to 4.0.2 and you'll get an OTA notification. DON'T DOWNLOAD IT! Select "Upgrade Later" and continue the process of unlock, root, flash CWM, etc. THEN you can ROM, flash a nandroid backup, etc.


The flashable JB bootloader can be found here on the OP:

[ROM] Jelly Belly v2.6 - 07/09/2012 - [JellyBean] [4.1.1] [AOSP/Hybrid] - It's all about speed! - [VZW] Galaxy Nexus Development - RootzWiki

READ the first 3 posts thoroughly - if not the whole thread! ;)

And check your MD5s!

I like the sound of Wug's better now. Takes a lot of the hard work out of it ;)

Wonder if there is a way for it to take you back to 4.0.4 instead?


Everyone's talking about TWRP. I too had the same problems with CWMR and did purchase the Touch version a long time back. The other version about drove me nuts. Does the TWRP just overwrite/replace CWMR Touch on your Nexus or can you use both of them?
 
After using the regular AND touch CWM, I can heartily and happily endorse TWRP. It's more versatile, faster, and all around a better interface. It's just so intuitive!

Warning: You CANNOT have 2 recoveries on the same phone. It's one or the other, and the zip file is simply flashed in CWM. Reboot normally. Go back into Recovery and there's TWRP.

And another one: They are NOT nandroid compatible! You can't restore a CWM backup on TWRP or vice versa... so I recommend that you do as I did:

As soon as you flash TWRP, reboot and then go back into Recovery, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! You'll want something to fall back on if things go south.
 
Boy the interface on TWRP is pretty slick. Thanks guys. I'm slow to change and CWM is like an old friend, but this is all right.
 
Did I read someone on here say the wipe of TWRP does a better job than CWM? Like it gets all the data where CWM may leaves traces?
 
Here's an oddball question for you guys - I had sworn off rooting my phone for some time, until the Jelly Bean ROM's started popping up. My phone had the 4.02 system and for some reason, would never allow me to install the 4.04 updates that Verizon was pushing OTA. The phone continued to have the issues associated with pre-4.04 (radio handling, slow screen rotation, typing lag) up until the point I rooted it. I installed the Vicious V3 Jelly Bean ROM and have been loving the speed and responsiveness, especially with the Google voice searches and speach to text. I am still having radio reception and 3g/4g handoff issues. Do the new Jelly Bean ROMS have the radio updates? Do I need to install the 4.04 radios separately and if so, how do I do it?

Both are made with vzw specific jelly bean. (Jelly Belly 2.6 (which I'm on) is built as a hybrid and works great, too).

Gotcha. It seems both are having bugs that I don't want right now though, but I'm very tempted to flash RootzBoat because Xoomdev will get it fixed in no time I'm sure. I don't follow the Rootz thread, so does anyone know of Jake posted an ETA on when his pure AOSP version will drop? Hopefully his bugs will already be squashed

Awesome. You know how much I hate wiping, and if I'm gonna do it, wanna make sure I'm flashing the most bug-free ROM (at the moment anyway :D )
 
Thanks to Chief for asking the right questions that led me to installing TWRP. I like the interface so much better. I will be switching from 2.4 to the next version that JD puts out. I will be installing the JB bootloader. I don't see myself going back to ICS either.

Side note, since I'm not using CWM anymore, I should get rid of ROM manager right?
