booted first try, I waited about 10 mins..I wiped EVERYTHING...after install through CWM, i powered off instead of rebooting, and powered on as normal..just a suggestion..anyhoo, im now on the wallpaper and cant do nothing, once and awhile the launcher loads but disappears..do i just wait this out?
Sounds like exactly what was happening to me. I just waited until I saw "Applications Partially Restored" in the notification bar and then everything loaded as it should.
I am having a bit of a problem getting my lockscreen to show up after selecting the Friend Stream Lockscreen through the personalization menu, so that might be something to avoid.
