Oil drained.

Final Gear Oil: Drained

Got the final gear oil drained. Also got the right-side manifolds off, sanded, and put back on with new o-rings.

Note the clever use of the jack stand to support the bike upright for draining. +1 for me!

Also note that my luggage rack frame nearly blocks the drain plug.

Testing the Blogger Android App

Just testing the blogger app on the Galaxy Nexus.

Adding a picture of Kira. Can't place it within the text tho apparently.

Galaxy Nexus: Root & ClockWorkMod Recovery

Turn on USB debugging. Attach the phone to the computer.

‎./adb devices [just to make sure it's recognized]

‎./adb reboot bootloader [to get to the bootloader]

./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img

Press volume down till you get the "recovery mode" option, and press Power to select recovery. [reboots into CWM]

Select install zip from sdcard

Select "choose zip from sdcard"

Select the su.zip

Back on the computer, in konsole:
./adb shell
then run:
>mount -o rw,remount /system
>mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
(This part didn't work for me: "mv: can't rename '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh': No such file or directory"
>exit [to leave the adb shell]

So, either use root explorer to rename it if it shows up, or use ROM Manager to reinstall CWM.

Then reboot.

Mostly simplicity.
