I downloaded the .zip file you used and still can't seem to find google maps in the .apk files...very strange. As I could have sworn I saw it there earlier.

Does anyone know what is happening or how I can get google maps in working order?! It almost prevented me from scoring a phone number from a good looking spanish woman tonight.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Install it from the market. All the gapps that you can download from the market are not in the zips. Earth,voice,videos, music etc.

If for reason its not in the market on your device use the web version or market enabler.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
Which alpha build are you using? Maps should definitely be available in the Market.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MC Pono:
If someone could direct me to a working APK that would be great.

You have to understand that I am in China, so market-wise google maps isn't available, neither is skype, neither are alot of the VPN programs etc. Or at least I assume its because I'm in China....also browser wise its pretty damn hard to track things down that aren't blocked. Haven't got around to installing a VPN but it would kick ass to get help to get a free vpn up and running too.

Nonetheless I have definitely installed the GAPP.zip file correctly after a good wipe of everything. I am pretty certain it should work since maps.google.com through the browser seems to locate me and load the map ok.

About Phone: Nexus S running 4.0.3.

Kernel version 3.0.17-Cyanogenmod-gc2b5fb4

Cyanogen Mod version 9.0.0-RC0-NS

Build number IML74K

I really appreciate the help and look forward to contributing in the future!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
System apps are NEVER signed.

If you don't extract (just open in 7zip or winrar) you can just drag new images in. If prompted for compression level, Choose "store". When finished, simply close the file with the x.

Only if you want to change xml files, need you decompile
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tajimura:
Umm, I thought that I have to sign it with "platform" key...

BTW, which PNG is responsible for statusbar background? The closest one I found is "statusbar_bg_tile", 1x1 black image. I want to use gradient background, and have created one full background image and one 9-patch, but dunno what to do - simply replace statusbar_bg_tile with statusbar_bg/statusbar_bg.9 or also modify some xml? In statusbar.xml I can't find any reference to statusbar_bg_tile PNG.

long story short, it'll start affecting performance...and do more bad than good...

swap partition is basically virtual ram...but the problem with this is, our phones ram is fast, while even the best of sd cards can't match that...

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
ya, since you moved dalvik to sd-ext...it will become laggy irrespective of the app you use for shifting (a2sdgui, lin2sd, s2e)...

no problem of the app...

you can decrease the lag by getting a better card...

I keep the dalvik of apps which I use more often (like go launcher, fb, go sms, whatsapp etc) on my phones internal mem...and move the dalvik of other less important apps (like themes and other stuff) to sd-ext...

that way, its a little balanced...

a lot of people want to keep their phones internal mem EMPTY (I mean total empty), but theres no point in doing so...

I have 140mb utilised, and there's no problem...

so dont shift EVERYTHING to sd-ext also...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] djozaa:

I just got my phone today and updated to 4.0.2. I had trouble installing Swype Installer (downloaded via browser) earlier but I was able to after a reboot. Now I'm trying to download Nova and it won't go, even after a couple of reboots.

The install screen comes up, I can expand the permissions menu, and click cancel, but clicking install gets absolutely no response. Also, unknown sources is checked in the security settings.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Hey, never heard of that before dude. Did you download the apk file for swype using your phone? Or did you download it and then copy it to your phone?

Maybe and this is just a shot in the dark try doing it one of the "other" ways above.

So if you downloaded it through your phone's browser try downloading on your computer and then transferring over. It is the only think I can think of that might work as I had an issue with an apk before similar to this and once I downloaded the file and copied it to the phone it worked fine.

Anyhow it's a long shot but thought I would say it ;) Good luck.

No, I don't think I have any banding issues at all. I have attached an image posted by someone else here. It's a great way to find out if you have banding issues. You can try it with varying brightness and you'll definitely notice the issue if you have it. Btw, there is always going to be banding if you use anything that is black/grey on the LOCK SCREEN. This is not a display issue. I think the lock screen has a greyish transparency overlay that causes the banding. Other than that, it's pretty smooth sailing.

Thank yu so much for that imformative set of videos.

Does Samsung include Swype keyboard as an option with ICS as I did not see it listed in your video?

Also, have you had a chance to play with voice control at all? I wounder if Samsung\VLingo is going to be a part of ICS build for GNote and maybe they have made some much needed improvements to voice control on the GNote.

I have had a lot of inconsistency with Voice control over bluetooth with the current setup.

Again thanks for your work.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] claude4:
Thanks Acidburn89,

with Vertumus' ICS Domination v1.1 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467985

and am playing with that combo for the moment, Rooted and all.

I hope I am not out of line or not being PC here (If so, let me know and I will change this reply) in giving links to other efforts on XDA.

Regarding voice control;

Is it very different in ICS than in GB?

Is it still Samsung Powered by VLingo?

I use Plantronics Voyager Pro+ BT headset and have come to resign myself that Voice Control via BT is not reliable at all, totally inconsistant in it's behavior for me. I push the BT button and sometimes VLingo responds that it is ready (after telling me the number of calls I miseed, etc. and sometimes it just tell me what I missed and then stops dead in it's tracks. I have to push the button again and start over. I could go on about this but I would be hijacking this thread. I hope that Voice Control prooved to be clearly better and decernably improved in ICS.

Thanks again for your info and efforts in helping the rest of us get a leg up on ICS.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acidburn89:
In a community driven development forum, I don't think there is much politics to begin with. :D The voice control is not the vLingo one. I think this is the ICS

version of google voice. :) But it functions exceptionally well. Has a very siri-ish feel to it. :rolleyes: I will try and post a video sometime soon.

Btw, I use a Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth stereo headset and it works perfectly fine. :D

I had been using super smooth home screen navigation and convenient features of ICS on Nexus S, but recently upgraded to Galaxy Note. The Note's stock interface is sometimes kind of laggy though.

You should be able to grab the right apk from a ROM dump. You'll probably want to use something like Root Explorer to copy the file so you can set the permissions on it.
