Hi,
I looked around but can't seem to find Amon Ra for Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Is it out there because I've seen people having problems with CWM and it screws up with their Nandroid backups somehow. Is there Amon Ra for GNex out there or in development?

i couldnt find anything on google.

amon ra doesnt make recoveries any more. that said, cwm recovery is based on his amon ras work. but quality wise it is not the same. so, after using cwm recovery on my ns for a brief moment(hated cwm on my ns), i found twrp recovery. twrp recovery is much more fully featured tban cwm, and everything works. btw, amon ra is a friend of mine, he just bought a nexus 7 and was asked by someone if he will make a recovery for it. his answer was that hes out of the recovery business and there are many good recoveries out there already. of course, id also rather use amon ra recoveries on all my devices, but life goes on..

The long way is to use ADB and a couple of files. The short way is to download ROM manager and use it to flash either clockwork or amon RA
Both cases require you to have root on your phone already

+1 on using ROM Manager, it's so easy even a caveman can do it!
Yah easiest way to change from amon ra to clockwork is to use Rom manger and flash the clockwork recovery. Although not sure why you would want to do that since amon ra makes better nand backups....

My guess is that OP is upgrading to RA 1.8.0
Guys it doesnt have amon ra recovery in rom manager at the bottom.
The flash alternate recovery is
Ra_gmn recovery v1.7.6
Is that amon ra?

go to market and update your version of rom manager - it should say RA Recovery v1.8.0 under flash alternate recovery.
Well it doesn't say that and Its up to date. Should I get the premium rom manager?

I would try reflashing the recovery. Actually, I suggest using Amon Ra recovery. You can use ROM manager to do that if you'd like, select 'flash alternate recovery' It sounds like something went wrong during the recovery flash. Good luck.

reflashed to an earlier version of clockwork and it works now
Why do you suggest amon ra recovery instead? whats the difference?

I guess it's really just user preference actually. Some people swear by clockwork, others by Amon. The main reason I started using Amon Ra, is because when I first rooted and was using clockwork, I kept getting bootloops when trying to flash any ROM. I changed recoveries to Amon Ra and never looked back. I have been able to flash everything I've wanted, and can get to recovery every time I try. Also, Amon Ra backs up your wimax RSA keys. I know some versions of clockwork do now (not sure which one) but clockwork used to not be capable of backing up the RSA keys, so that was another reason I initially started using Amon, and I just always have since then. It seems like any time someone is having trouble flashing something, they are using clockwork, then they report that changing to Amon fixed the problem. It's just mroe reliable in my opinion. But as I said, its user preference, and I'm sure clockwork works flawlessly for a lot of people. To each their own!
I have heard that amon keeps 4g keys in the nandroid back-up but clockwork does not. Also, I have heard that clockwork will not wipe all the way/correctly. I use amon right now because of the 4g but would like to to use clockwork for go from nightly to nightly.
If someone could dispell what is rumor and what is not that would be great.

I use Amon_RA because it does a better job of nandroid backups -- in my brief experience -- including backup of the entire WiMax partition, not just the keys. I can't speak to CWM's ability/inability to wipe entirely/correctly/"all the way." It seems to me that Amon_RA is the "standard" for a reason, but that's my experience. YMMV.
As for loading new nightlies, why not simply download the new nightly to your SD card and flash? I trust that method more, since I can wipe cache/dalvik/data if I choose, and do it "by hand" for surety.
I have Rom Manager installed on my device. I like to make backups in both ClockworkMod and AmonRA, but since I loaded CM7 (2.3.3 and 2.3.4) I can't flash between recoveries. My RM says my current recovery is CWM3005, but when I boot in recovery its RA! When I try to flash CWM, it says it is successfully flashed, but it is not! Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm having the same issue. I switched to Amon Ra just to give it a shot and now I can't go back. On a related note, is it possible to restore a backup made with clockwork in Amon Ra (or vice versa)?
First off, Rom Manager is junk. Sorry, but it is.
Second, use Amon Ra, really. That's all you need.
Hipkat, thanks for your helpful post.
z3r0d3vil, I did some digging, andit looks like the only way to fix this issue is to reflash CWM through the hboot. I had trouble finding a good explanation how on xda, but here's a link from android forums.
Regarding Amon RA, my problem was that I wanted to restore a backup made with CWM and couldn't do so without going back to CWM. Now that I can flash through the hboot, I was able to restore the CWM backup and then back it up through Amon. I've since switched to Amon as my primary recovery. Hope this helps!
On second thought, xda won't let me post a URL because I haven't made enough posts. If you still need it, message me and I'll give it to you.
Quick question: I want to flash Anon RA recovery but I already have Clockwork mod installed, do I need to delete clockwork first or can i just flash anon ra from the bootloader no problem? i dont want to run into any problems.
Followup question: for anon ra is there a similar "rom manager" app that works with it?
Longer explanation: Ive been trying out several sense gingerbread roms and noticed how fast i max out my internal memory. I read you can partition the memory card and use an apps to sd card app to fix this, but if you try to partition with clockwork you could potentially brick the phone. even though its been addressed in later versions it looks like it has still happened a couple times and this makes me nervous. plus it seems everyone says anon ra is a better recovery anyway.
Thanks!
You can just flash amon-ra without deleting clockwork. I don't know of a rom manager app for amon-ra but its safer and more thorough to do everything manually in recovery anyway
We're comin from a pure power source.
Just flash amon ra from Rom manager, its near the bottom, I think it says "flash alternate recovery". And remember, you can't do a nand restore from ra that you made with cwm.
I have to disagree with that, sorry. The best thing to do with Rom Manager is uninstall it. Flash the AR PC36IMG.zip from the AR thread in the Dev section
thanks worked well. deleted rom manager too just to be sure
Installing Amon Ra from ROM Manager or flashing it manually doesn't matter. Either way will yield the same results. But I agree with getting rid of ROM Manager. So make it useful one time to flash Amon Ra before you delete it and then part ways.

Just beware, in case it wasn't clear, you cannot use backups made with Clockwork on Amon and vice versa. It would be wise to immediately create a new nandroid backup when you switch over to Amon. Don't forget to make an individual Wimax nandroid backup too.
How do you get rid of backups to save space?
I created a clockwork backup but plan on switching to Amon Ra so I want to erase all unnecessary files.
