Why not just go to ICS. The update went VERY smooth for myself and it seems to be snappier, with better browser performance. The ICS issues effect a minority.

Cheers!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shannon morrisey:
Answer: No (as of 1/19/12 4:00PST)

I've searched high and low (xda forums and elsewhere) There appears to be no downgrade methods publicly available to date. If you have yet to run the initial OTA update, you should root (viperMod/ TSSparky), use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, and then accept the Asus OTA update.

Hello. Noticed this few days ago after one month having the phone.

In the App menu I don't find this behaviour, only on the 7 home screen. If I delete and put again its solved but after some time itvgets back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
So u say only on 7 launcher? If so then contact the developer since sounds like an issue with launcher if doesn't happen on any other launcher etc.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
No it's not such App like 7 launcher. It is stock touch wiz launcher. I was referring to the 7 home screen specific to android like what do you see in picture at calculator and social hub etc.

Found the tool very easy to use, AFTER getting the drivers setup properly. Took multiple trys using all the suggested methods. Not sure what got it to finaly work.

Only minor poblem left is the main screen has some of the text cut off with my laptop set at its suggested resolution, 1920x1080.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] usmcrhyno:
I just rooted using this and I must say it was Amazing!

I do have one question though...... I have another nexus, my wife's phone, and I want to root it also. Do I need to run the driver's again or just go to the unlock and root options and skip the drivers part?

I am assuming I can skip the drivers part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WugFresh:
Your assumption is correct. Drivers are specific to hardware IDs, and hardware IDs are specific to hardware types, not unique identifiers per device. Should work on any Gnex now.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WugFresh:
That's really strange.. thanks for the info. Not quite sure how to fix that off the top of my head but I will definitely look into it. I am new to building GUI's in general so its probably my fault. Not quite sure how I can recreate the glitch myself though.. I have tested this on multiple computers and every windows OS; XP and up... and never had that happen.

Can you check your DPI setting...? Maybe its not set to normal 100% mode?

I was pulling my hair out last night trying to get this to work. ADB drivers work flawlessly, but for some reason fastboot doesn't doesn't recognize the device. I get ADB serial but not fastboot. Is an alternate way to install just the fastboot drivers?

Running LTE version on 4.0.2 (ICL53F)

I'm on XP (32-bit) but also tried it on Windows 7 32-bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
This happened to me as well when I first used it. I ended up uninstalling everything on the computer, all phone related drivers and ADB. After rebooting the computer everything worked great.

You want to see the android fast boot driver listed in the device manager. Then everything should be good to go.

I rooted my GNexus with 1.2.2, if I install 1.3 does it simply update the files that changed or do I need to do something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WugFresh:
http://www.wugfresh.com/dev/gnex-root-toolkit/manual-driver-configuration/

{{ WugFresh }}
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WugFresh:
It actually just extracts to a new directory, so you can just install it and then delete the old folder.

Version 1.2.2 extracted to: C:\GnexRootToolkit

Version 1.3 extracts to: %HOMEDRIVE%\Wugs_GnexRootToolkit

From now on future version will probably just update the old version.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azn android:
I hope this isn't a stupid question >.<.. So I've been debating whether to root or not and my urge to root has increased even more ever since this awesome tool has been released. However, i still have some uncertainty over this...

I've noticed that some ROM's require you to flash gapps.. how would i do that with this tool? How would I wipe caches or do nandroid backups and what's the process of switching ROM's if I use this tool?

Please don't say that I should learn the manual process instead because im simply a beginner and want to get a feel for all the things first.

EDIT: I did the process and now am pretty comfortable with flashing and such.

HOWEVER, I have one, large large complaint. I backed up my data and apps and it successfully made a file. I try to restore and the program cannot find the file! I check my folder and it is there, but the file type is not .ab like it is supposed to be. Rather it seems to be some generic file... any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WugFresh:
Sounds like you changed the default file extension when renaming the file during backup. Your data is still contained within that file, just rename it through window's explorer with an .ab extension. In the next release I will work out a way to auto append the default file extension if the user changes it or doesn't give one.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azn android:
It worked flawlessly thank you! You made my entrance into the custom ROM and rooting field a lot easier and I feel a lot more confident about what I'm doing! +1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joebroni:
Just started using the app and I've been having problems backing up my apps. I performed an option 1 backup and changed the folder to my choice, and the folder was empty after completing it. Then I performed an option 2 backup and I had the same result. At that point, I went back to the default install folder and inspected the /nexusbackup and it was also empty. I made sure I had hidden files enabled just to be sure.

Finally I went back in, performed an option 1 backup, and directed the save location back to default. And it worked that time perfectly. So for some reason it's not wanting to save to my desired location. Other than that, it's working great! Time to get this rooted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WugFresh:
It actually probably was saving it, just not as an ab file; and when you hit restore it was only looking for ab files. It was a silly mistake I made to not have my script auto append the ab file extension if it wasn't given by the end user. Chances are, those backups are on your computer in a generic file format. Just check with normal windows explorer... not through my program. I will fix this in version 1.4 regardless.

It was either that or you were trying to back it up directly onto a directory on a non system partition. I don't think I was able to specify the drive letter.. only the succeeding directory structure.

rooted my gnex in about 15 minutes. Awesome tool ! Guys follow the instructions specially when configuring the drivers (two parts to it usb and then in the bootloader).

One last thing: su binaries have to be updated through superuser or Tibu. otherwise rom manager will hang while attempting to flash the latest clockwork recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Hey Guys,

I've never flashed before and TBH am a little worried and a little scared!! haha

I'm not on Verizon though, wanted to ask if I can still use this?? =/

If I can, I really want to make sure I can go back to factory so if, IF I need to return I can. =)

I'm not even sure what rom I want, but being told and read a little about AOKP, and see that it may be what I'm after. I basically want a real stable build with considerable customization and fast! My current stock 4.0.2 I will say id fast-ish but unresponsive at times, hoping its the bugs and not my touch screen! Just occasional things, (which I've posted about) drawer not coming down and the odd touch input no registering...its reall annoying, feels like I have a buggy phone, as I said, probably the build. =)

I read also in this post that it automatically installs Clockwork yeah?? Do I have to, and is this always necessary for rooting/unlocking??

Sorry for all the noobness but am excited to do this but just need a little info...or a root/unlock procedure alternative from recommendation.

Thank you Thank you Thank you is advance. =)

Device:

GSM Galaxy Nexus, updated by Samsung...(Unfortunately)

Firmware 4.0.2

In Australia...not that that probably makes a diff... =)

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spence341:
A huge thanks to Wugfresh for this tool. Made rooting a breeze. Worked flawlessly, although I did not use the back up feature... Isn't that what clockwork is for?

Edit: do you have a dontate link on any of the sites?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
The backup tool is for before you unlock and root. Clockwork can only be installed once rooted. Not a big deal if you immediately unlock and root when you get the phone. But if you have been running stock for a while before you wanted to root, then it is invaluable! Since unlocking will wipe everything!

I am interested in unlocking my bootloader and then flashing the STOCK 4.0.4 update, so I don't want to root but rather unlock then "temp" boot CWM so that I can flash 4.0.4. I know with the GNEX toolkit there is an option for this, but can this be done with Wugfresh's toolkit? Not sure if choosing "Boot" (Temporary) then clicking recovery does this?

I really don't have an answer for you on this. If anyone has a clue I would like to know. The only reason I knew to suggest trying an alternate usb port is because the same thing happened to me on my tower here at school.

I don't get it..

It has to do with the front ports being plugged into the motherboard while the back ports are built in. I will look up the exact reason later and post.

It sounds like there is an issue with the fastboot drivers. Try uninstalling all drivers then trying again. If it still doesn't work uninstall the drivers again ans install the PDAnet drivers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
Check the very bottom of the OP. Just follow the PDAnet instructions. Once everything is installed and setup you should be good to go on the toolkit.

Notes:

You don't have to be connected to the internet using pdanet. You are just installing it for the drivers. Be sure to follow the entire PDAnet setup, installing on the phone and computer. You can uninstall the pdanet app from the phone after if you want.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WugFresh:
I would like to extend support to as many devices as possible. So this will definitely be a priority. I will probably roll out v1.4 first since its very close to completion and cdma/gsm users have already been waiting a while..then release another update as quickly as possible. Assuming the method for rooting is the same/similar it shouldn't be a problem. It will probably be contingent on Koush releasing a cwm version for it... not sure if he has already..? (I haven't checked). The short answer is yes.. if it is possible (which I don't see any reason it shouldn't be), then I will do my best to get a working solution released as quickly as I can code it.
