Hey guys,
New Market (3.2) from ICS has been leaked. I tried it on my Tab (Blazaar's 3.1 non-TW rom) and it force quits on me. Tried clearing data.
I installed it through ADB and made sure to change permissions after pushing it. No go.
Anyone have any luck? Not much seems to have changed aside from the icon but I like having the latest and greatest.
Not many ICS apps are gonna work on HC bro

3.2 works fine on my Tab and Nexus S; rename Vending.apk in system/app, drop in replacement market, rename, set permissions, however 3.2 is not optimized for the large screen, have a look for 3.1.5 for honeycomb which will give you the new market style for big screens, including portrait mode.
Go to System/app/
Rename vending.apk to vending.apk.old
Move this attached vending.apk to system/app
If necessary reset permissions to rw-r-r
Restart Tab and enjoy
Edit: anyone having luck with this one I have posted..it is made for the tablet. Supports both landscape and portrait
Hey guys,
Thanks for your replies. I did install through ADB and set permissions (chmod 644 which is rw-r-r) but it still doesn't work.
As far as not working on Honeycomb...the 3.2 works fine on Gingerbread, assumed it would work OK on Honeycomb (I know this doesn't mean anything - just figured I would try).
Which ROM are you guys using that it's working?
Also, as far as not being for tablet screens - don't think that's true. When I launched 3.2, it launched full-screen with the little menu in the upper right - a sure sign it is tablet optimized. Was it just not working for you in Portrait mode?
However, seconds after it launches and tries to load, is when I get the force close.

On 3.1.5 for honeycomb I have the menu plus My Apps in the top corner and a two column menu in the main part of the screen, 3.2 doesn't show My apps on the main screen and it is a single column on the main part of the screen.
3.1.5 Honeycomb vs 3.2.0 ICS markets on the Tab:
To be quite honest...I don't see how having different market versions really changes anything. Just get one that works and leave it at that. Every version is gonna have the same apps anyway..

True, although 3.1.5 offers a nice improvement in the form of portrait mode, a feature sorely missing from the original honeycomb market.
Just because an app is designed for ICS it doesn't mean that it is an improvement for Gingerbread/Honeycomb users.
Thanks was an accident btw

I only use my tab in landscape mode unless I'm on an app that doesnt support landscape. Market supports landscape, so thats where I am. So that update doesnt affect me personally at all. Others may like it though.
It's preference. To some people it doesn't matter - to some it does. So far the leaked ICS apps have been an improvement over the existing released versions.
For instance, the 4.0 Music app is an improvement to me over the 3.0 app. And the changes to Google+ in the ICS version are very nice and makes things better. Market, doesn't seem like much has changed except the icon but it DOES seem faster than the 3.1.5 or 3.1.6 versions out there now.
On my phone, Samsung Galaxy S II, these apps are working flawlessly. It's on my Tablet that they are force quitting.

hi everyone this is my 1st droid and just totally blown away by the amount of things the atrix can do vs my old blackberry bold my productivity at work has gone way down since I've gotten the atrix but anyways I'm running ADW launcher and I downloaded the black theme for it to change the icons to match my wallpaper better. I placed my most used apps in folders on my homepage but I've noticed I named the folders but then they randomly dissapear on me the names that is. But then if I open them up they are named correctly and if I confirm the name again it will re-appear but then dissapear again a short time later.
Should I try to uninstall and re-install, is this an issue with this app.?
Thanks Again
Nevermind guys I found what was going on , looks like everytime I would go from potrait to landscape it would clear the folder names. Fixed the launcher to potrait and all set!

Yeah, I had the same problem with the icon changing back to stock but setting it to Portrait-only fixed it as well.
^ well glad to hear it wasn't just me lol. But I ended up switching to Laucher Pro Plus anyway but to anyone else fixing it to potrait will fix this issue.
This is not the tablet version..It's the phone version.
I don't have the nook color with me at the moment. Has anyone tried this on the Nook yet?
I tried to use the beta version on it and I had some issue with displaying the keyboard itself on it back then.
I would try it if I had it with me.. but I won't be able to try it for like 12 hrs from now.
Anyone?
Other than the keyboard being truncated in landscape, which may be a feature of my density being set at 200 I love it.
The tablet version also has this problem. Good thing I was still able to return it when I bought it a couple of days ago.

eh? The tablet version has no such problems. The phone version for some reason the keyboard is small in landscape, but not all of the time... it's wonky.
But the tablet version? No such issue. However I'm running the stock CM7 DPI, could be if you're tweaking that.

If by truncated you mean the numpad in the middle is missing, then yeah. mine does that too at stock dpi.
So i'll take this as not perfectly working on Nook color. for the phone version at least.
So what would people recommend? I've come to like this keyboard on my phone. Is it worth buying the tablet version for the NC? Or just use the phone version?

Jus the use the phone version for now. I have both and the phone version is works as it should. The the tablet version isn't optimized for 7" screens. The the number pad doesn't appear in landscape mode, the space key is unresponsive at the edges and there is no padding options to raise the height of the keyboard to a more comfortable portion of the screen.
My suggestion is to use SwiftKey x and thumb keyboard. There is a awesome paid app called km launcher that will automatically switch keyboards when changing from landscape to portrait and back. The only reason I didn't return SwiftKey tablet x was because it was on sale an I will eventually update to another tablet in the future.
Additional tip: select the arrow keys option in SwiftKey x to raise the keyboard a bit. I hate have to hold my nook at the bottom edges just to type on the keyboard. There is so much screen, and why no give me the option to place the keyboard where I see fit?
Latest Update
The latest Swiftkey X update seems to have helped the landscape problem.
Any tips for getting Swiftkey Tablet setup properly on a manual-nootered Nook Color? On the 2nd step when it wants me to pick a default keyboard, it just bounces me to the desktop and won't continue. I read something about copying the apk file to /system/apps, but I cannot find the apk (I'm guessing setup gets rid of it). Paid full pop for it on the Android Market, so I'd really like to get it working.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,
Edit: OK, I resolved it. Couldn't see the .apk because I wasn't in r/w mode when browsing the folders - I was using Alpha file manager. When I switched to Root explorer and mounted r/w, then I could see it, copy it from /data/apps to /system.apps, re-install it, and get it setup after a reboot. Hope this helps someone else. Yeah, I know it's posted in myriad places, but what the heck?

Hi guys!
So still learning my tablet to know and at the moment I have managed to make different wallpapers for each screen and downloaded some funny games.
So now I'm hungry for new experince! (Can you even say this in english? )
All the time people are talking about rooting their devices, is it the same thing when you jailbreak an iPhone? And when you do it, what does it to your device?
I'm really carefull about doing anything stupid since I'm from Europe and bought my Galaxy 10.1 in US.
Then people are talking about asus widgets and they have to push them to certain folders. I'm like
Something i'm really curious about, how do I get some new icons for my stuff? I would like to change some of them, but where do I get them? I have the Desktop Visualizer but need the icons.
What is honeycumb? Touchwiz is the interface we use navigate within our tablet, right?
I really want to learn this stuff, but when I read about it, i'm lost from the start. Everything I can tell me, so I can understand you guys in the forum would really be appreciated!
So, I'm by no means any techie who dares to compare myself to any of the geniuses in here.
But I can help you out a little bit..!
Rooting is nothing more than giving yourself full control over your tablet. When you're NOT rootet, certain aspects of controlling the tab is "locked", so to speak. And that goes for the apps, you install to. Certain files can not be changed, over-written, deleted or even just "watched", if you're not rooted. It's kinda like giving admin-rights on a PC..
Honeycomb is nothing more than the name of the Android-version for tablets, and Touchwiz is the interface and framework Samsung uses for all its Android-product - a way to differ from the other android-products. This tab was first sold without Touchwiz in some parts of the world (running barebone Honeycomb) and then got a touchwiz-update later on. Many of Samsungs own apps will not work on even Samsung-devices, if they do not have TW installed, as they're based on TW-framework.
Pushing something to a given directory basically means copying/moving it to that directory. However, as these directories are mostly "locked" folders, you will need to be have rooted your tab to do this. The "pushing"-term comes from using ADB, where you use a command that says to push the given file to the given directory. Most times off, though, you can do this with a simple file manager (with root-rights ) on your tab.
The only way I know to get new icons is to either
a) Use another Launcher or
b) flash a custom rom with other icons.
However, I'm sure there are other way to do this, that I'm not aware of myself
Hope this helps a bit. Tried not to make it too long and confusing, but I'm not so sure that went too well
Launchers like ADW EX allow you to download "theme" packs, which usually contain a lot of different and new icons.
How did you get a different wallpaper on each screen? Edit: Multipicture Live Wallpaper lets you do this.

Ok, that I get. Also what I thought, so almost the same thing jailbreaking and iPhone, but people with the galaxy have many more options afterwards.

If I'm not tottaly wrong we are using Android 3.2 / 3.1 and that is what we call Honeycomb? Simply the name of the Android version. And as I thought, Touchwiz is the interface. I read somewhere it was sold without Touchwiz, but what difference does Touchwiz make? As I wrote, I bought in the US but I have no idea whether I had touchwiz or not. There came some new things after the update, "Indstillinger (Its on danish, dont know the word in english, but maybe "options"?) was completely change from black to white.

Ok, so when people are talking about pushing something, that probably 'cause they have rooted their device? Not when I simply move a picture from one place to another?

Another launcher, you mean another thing then Touchwiz?
Flash a custom rom? I'm lost again
That helped a lot! If you can explain me what "flash a custom rom" means, and simply "flash" and "rom".
Thank you !!

A Launcher is basically the the desktop of your tablet/phone. It is what displays the shortcuts, application list, widgets etc. that you are using. It is used to 'launch' all other applications on your device. So if you don't like the default launcher on your phone or Tablet, you can use one from the marketplace. there are lots of different options but so far I only know for sure that ADW EX supports honeycomb (Android 3.x)
If you have ADW EX, you can download ADW Themes from the market, and those will change up the appearance of your device, including icons.
I'm running an ICS leaked build on my SGS2 - LP6. I've had two screen freezes (nova) so am going back to touchwiz for a while.
Of course by default touchwiz doesn't sort the apps drawer in grid view. By deleting data it's pseudo sorted. For now. So pre-installed apps are first in order, then user installed, in order
Has anyone co-erced AppZorter to work? Or know how to manipulate touchwiz through APIs or database updates to switch things into order?
I've emailed the AppZorter developer but I'm sure it's too early.
It's the one feature of touchwiz that IMO is a serious omission - otherwise I like it.
in TW4.5 you have alphabetical order of icons but i am not sure that it will work on ICS ROM............on GB it is fantastic.......
appz sorter light works but you have to reboot.. it doesnt restart touchwiz.. or if you have home switcher and temporarily switch to a different shell and run it and then switch back it is done immediately.

No just force stop the tw launcher after sort.
$1 gets you a reply
I am on the latest ICS leak and I can't get AppZorter to install, for the obvious reason that it's for older versions. There has to be some other way instead of slowly tapping, dragging and dropping
This is a awesome launcher and has one of the best looking weather widgets I've seen. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
Worth looking into. What version did you download?
Either of the ones that say qHD works. I tried both and they are exactly the same.
I just loaded this on my MO PHO & am quite impressed w/the smoothness of the scrolling on the desktop. I would like a vertical scrolling app drawer, but, this will be a non-issue once I get the desktop all set up.
Great find! This works great! Very nice.

I modified the app drawer icon for mine to the xperia icon from the AnaKonda rom on the epic 4g touch. Ill upload it in case any one wants to use it. This one just move it to system/apps and set permissions then reboot.
Last picture didn't work.
It looks nice, but browsing the instructions I see a reference to ClockworkMod Recovery. It doesn't seem to apply to me since the instructions say, for the condition that applies to me, to skip that step. I'm not rooted and I don't have CWM, straight stock 2.3.5 Electrify. Can I use this? I'm quite happy with GO Launcher EX, but I like to try new things. I even tried ssLauncher (for about 10 seconds, haha -- not my thing but I did give it a shot).
Just extract it on your desktop,or with a file manager on your device.Install them like you would any other normal apk. I like the folders,they're like the ones in GO,and the transition from drawer to home,and vise versa is super smooth.no custom icons,or any of the other features youre accustomed to in GO though.

From any homescreen: Menu, Settings, Applications, then tick "Unknown sources". If it's ticked, I don't know what to tell ya. It worked fine for me.
This launcher is a bit light on features. You can set the number of home screens, but that's about it. Dragging icons has kind of a neat effect like the icon is wobbly, and the trashcan animation when you delete something is similarly nice, but this launcher is basically crap. It's like a stock launcher. Which I suppose it is/that's the point, but it's still worth noting.
Oh, and it has app drawer sorting, which I haven't seen before, but everything other than alphabetical is random and doesn't do what it says.
And the widgets cannot seem to be used with other launchers. So there is that. Shame about that, widgets tied to a specific launcher. Sense does this as well. Is there really no fix for it? To be able to use widgets tied to one launcher, in any launcher?
