Re: [Chatter] Galaxy Nexus CRACKFLASHERS | SECRET LAIR ;-)

Have you chosen one yet? Or get some choices narrowed down?
I probably do like oxy does and change out often. Got a few lined up for the future. :)

im collecting some avatar options. pretty much been reading 8-10 hrs a day for tests, and i won't be done till about the 21st.

it's gonna be a rough week or two more, but then im done for a while so hopefully i'll make it thru.

anyway - still gonna poll it i think haha :) Gotta get it down to some finalists and take it from there

Re: [Chatter] Galaxy Nexus CRACKFLASHERS | SECRET LAIR ;-)

So after my girlfriend (also a GNex owner) saw my ROM and kernel combo that gives me great battery life she kept bugging me to do the same thing for her phone. So I unlocked, rooted and flashed everything on here phone (Liquid 1.35, franco Kernel and 4.0.4 radios) and she loves it but one thing is bothering me which maybe someone could point out...

After I did everything, went nice and smooth but I can't flash a new version of recovery using CWM app while in Android. I can boot into recovery and flash recovery files that way but I can flash new recoveries using the actual app. Any reason why this would be happening?

Not quite clear what you're saying.. by CWM app I'm assuming you mean Piece of Garbage Noobie Tool...erm.. I mean.... ROM Manager, right? You don't need that app for anything and it causes more harm and deadening of brain cells than its worth (end mini rant)....

If you want to flash a new recovery... which I want to say I only recommend official CWM recoveries, such as CWM Touch 5.8.0.2 (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47300967/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-toro.img)... Set up adb and fastboot on your computer if you haven't already, boot phone into bootloader and plug it in. Put the file above (or any recovery) in fastboot folder, open command window there, and enter:

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Simple as that :)

Sounds good, that usually what I do on my nexus but as long as I know that its not something that happened during the root process makes me feel better lol. I didn't think that it would be a problem since everything else was working fine and recovery was unaffected.

Ahhh the CPA..lol. I passed 1 part and just got so busy with work that I never even had time to study and schedule the others, LOL.. but to be fair I also had it pretty deep in my mind before long that I didn't want to do accounting anyways. So yeah, back in school now... yay me :/
Lol.

Lol.

I wish I had work to consume my time, I don't have to start at my firm until the end of Nov so I have a long way to go and might as well bang out the CPA while I have the spare time lol.

Word that's good.. good that you have a job lined up and that you're gonna use the time to bang out the CPA. After I graduated and took the first part I was kind of lazily preparing for the 2nd and looking for work when I got placed by a temp agency doing internal auditing, after that I just never had the time to keep up studying. But like I said I absolutely hated accounting, lol.

Accounting is kind of one of the subjects where you love it or hate it. Rarely do you have someone that is indifferent to it. Personally I love it, especially auditing but then again probably has something to do with the blood. Both parents, my aunt and uncle, and my other aunt are all CPAs... I was doomed from the start!

Doomed being the operative word....LOL.

Hey, if you like it then do you. Through college I was convinced that nobody, besides one or 2 professors, actually liked accounting... but plenty people did it haha. Guess there are some out there who like the stuff :)

School. Meh.

I was a complete slacker after high school. I just wanted to surf/skate so I lived at the beach for a while. No real residency, just kind of crashed where I could. My dreads were less of a statement of style, than the consequence of salt water not getting washed out of my hair frequently. Good times.

Came home, did a few different random jobs for a while, then fell into a factory position. Operated machinery, then they offered me a mechanic position, became lead mechanic, then they offered me to help the electrical engineer build control panels, then offered me the apprenticeship, and now I'm the head of the electrical department. Pretty cool, I suppose. I make them do most of the grungy work, while I design control panels and write programs.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm 38.

Next time you buy a pack of "curiously strong mints", think of me. I programmed the machines that make those tins. Quite a few other brands I'm not allowed to speak of as well.

I thought I would be a photographer or musician when I grew up. My slacker lifestyle didn't exactly pan out. Life's pretty good though... my chick really digs me, and I have the coolest little 4yr old dude in the world :D

Plus... I still surf, skate, and skim whenever I can.

I have no idea why I just posted all that personal information, but there you go :what:
