Not sure if anyone else was following this thread here in the Asus Transformer subforum, but apparently some people got units shipped to them with the development Froyo build on them. Looks like one of them made a system dump of it, full of 2.2 versions of their apps and other goodies.
Post with System Dump
So far, looking just through the app apks, I found their Launcher, Music, and Gallery apps and they work pretty good on my GTablet running Vegan-Tab Ginger... the music one is better than the stock 2.2 music app IMO.
I am not as technically inclined as some people on this forum, so I didn't dig into anything else. Maybe we might find some other useful things in this dump that I haven't noticed yet.
I just unzipped the dump onto my flash drive, inserted it to my tablet, went to the /usbdisk/system/app directory (or the system/app subdirectory if you put the dump into a different folder), and installed the apks there that looked interesting.
So far, I installed Launcher2.apk, MyMusic.apk, and MyGallery.apk (I think those are the names, forgive me, I am at work and don't have the tablet with me). The MyWater Live Wallpaper apk is there too (under a different name, but you'll see the file icon is water and ice cubes), but I haven't installed it since I have the version from Honeycomb working on mine. The 2.2 version of MyWater might work better for us than the 3.0, I haven't tried it yet.
Since the dump came out pretty late last night, I didn't have much time to play with it, but I am going to mess around with the apps some more tonight and see if there is anything else of value.
If anyone else finds anything good, please post your findings!
Oh yeah, the boot animation is in there too, but it looks like the ASUS logo, so I didn't mess with it on my Viewsonic tablet. lol
I wanted to do some screenshots last night, but I didn't get a chance to since it was late. Tonight, I'll hook up the tablet to the computer and get some shots to post on here.
As for the MyWater live wallpaper, take a look at this:

Any way Road SMS could be ported to the Eris? It seems to be a Samsung Galaxy-only .apk right now. I'm not aware of whether it is a processor heavy app but it looked interesting when I read the article.
http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-road-sms-for-galaxy-s-hands-on-video-20100715/
That would be awesome.I would definitely want this lol
looks pretty cool, but i don't think its something i would actually use... im not usually texting and walking at the same time and if i am im aware enough of my surroundings not to run into anything ... still would be cool if someone could port it over
Ultra Keyboard has it. I use it all the time in the mall so I don't run into people when I text. baha
Have you tried installing the apk OP? I've tried it before but didnt like it that much
I wonder if the apk I used on my Dinc will work in my wifes eris. I tried road sms. It was ok. It would be sick if they can somehow combine it with swype though.

edit again: found a modded version in another thread
for anyone confused by the .apk.zip
i downloaded it in astro, unzipped it to a new directory i named roadsms.apk and installed
i have it on my hero and its SOOOOO laggy and inputing a contact is LAME.
good idea though.
poor execution.
I've done all the market hacks and tried all the tricks but im wondering why most of the actual 3d games i want to get to show off the muscle that this great little tegra 2 tablet can flex.
it seems like the games i want on here right now "pocket legend" and "rocket bunnies" don't show up in the market and I was looking forward to "dungeon defenders"
I think there needs to be a big push of actually finding a way to get the full market that my Nexus One gets...
This is mostly why i bought the tablet, and thanks to all the great devs here we've been able to get "almost" everything working (Thanks roebeet, et all)
maybe we can make a nice thread with some different market fingerprints and post market results? (or any other suggestions)
I am currently running the latest Vegantab beta4 fyi.

Well, as the guy who has tried all the market fingerprints and build.prop stuff and wrote the thread on the "full" market fix, I can tell you with some confidence that Pocket Legends and some of the other 3d games are a known issue - I have tried changing every build.prop setting to match that of my Nexus One (which finds those apps with no problem), and there are still a handful of 3d games that will not show up. I have also found that if you change too many of the settings in build.prop, you will eventually bootloop your G Tablet because Android itself gets confused about what it's running on.
You can find my notes on the subject in my posts on my thread in this forum on Full Market Fix.
In summary - the issue seems to be more than just using a different Market Fingerprint. That does not solve the problem, though it may make a few addition or a few less items show up. Right now, by most of my metrics, we have at least 95% of the items in Market showing up.
BTW, I have seen posts stating that the work around for Pocket Legends has been to download directly from their site, though I have not done so myself.
My understanding is that the CyanogenMod ROM for G Tablet does not require the Maket Fix and has no issues with missing items in Market because of the way the ROM image is built. I think the person to ask about this is bekriebel who built CyanogenMod for G Tablet - he can explain the concept of release-keys better than I can and how Market supports it out of the box on the CM ROM.
Unfortunately, it's a bit outside of my time availability right now to work much more on this, having already spent a day or more figuring out what I figured out. But please keep me in the loop if you figure anything else out!
I just thought it would be good to have a good constructive conversation about why else it might not be working... so the build.prop isnt the thing then.
its sad that 3d games are not showing up when this device was built for 3d gaming!
Pocket legends shows up on mine. got it installed...lemme try the other one..
EDIT: Strange they arent showing up anymore. when i was on Cyanogen 6.1 i Had them showing up. then again I didnt have the new market that looks like xbox live. strange...

this is what I'm refering to its so spotty. there is this great drawing app that i purchased that id love to use on the tab called "sketchbook mobile" but its not showing up for me either.
I know there have been lots of people working on it but it would be great if we could somehow compare market search results on some of them to find the best?
also if cyanogenmod has more working downloads is there anyway that the market from cyanogenmod can be rolled into Vegantab?
Dungeon Defenders is amazing its based on the unreal engine and really shows off this hardware.
If we are patient I am sure there will be many amazing games in the future for this CPU/chipset.
I had originally intended to only use the gtab until a good windows7 tab was released but after seeing Dungeon defenders on this system I seriously doubt any windows based tab will be able to come close to this tab for some time and I am sure the cost of a system like that will be much higher.
U need to check out this game to understand what I mean.

Agreed, DD plays perfectly on the gtab. Hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come once Honeycomb is in place and developers start making apps with tablets in mind.
I'm suprised I haven't seen anything in this forum about this, but the system dump from the first tegra 2 phone has been around for a while. Here is the system dump thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931114
The libflashplayer.apk is attached.
It works great for me on the adam rom.
Vimeo HD is a little choppy but way better. ESPN3 is like butter. I put this is the dev section because I believe there is much that can be done with this system dump for the betterment of the community.
Thanks! I'll have to try this out later. I've already seen pretty good performance with flash so this should be even better.
Thanks! I'm going to check this out as well. I wonder if one of the devs can find something that can help with the gameloft games.
Hmm... installed on my GTab, and all flash video crashes now. I tried Youtube, and TheDailyShow.
Edit: Running Vegan 5.1 with Pershoot's kernel
Causes force closes of both my broswers anytime flash is needed. Went back to flash with the hulu fix. Works great
can someone please get this optimized version to include the hulu fix?
Moved to themes and apps
Not working in BitTrix CM7 in the Browser or Fennec 4 beta5pre.
YouTube app works the same as it did before.
Has anyone tried the widgets and other apps from the Optimus? I've seen some floating around in XDA but can't try them out yet. Just wondering if anyone already did. Especially the weather widget. That looks nice.
The weather news widget works for me in the above stated configuration
UPDATE: it seems that honeycomb has a different kind of odex'd files. it keeps throwing errors when I try to use baksmali to deoxed the music2.apk or gmail.apk
doing a little digging the creator of smali says he can't fix the issue until Honeycomb's source code is released.
Once Honeycomb's source code is release we'll have the missing apps anyway so for now I say this is a moot point.
Any actual devs have any insight on this? I only know the basics with android development so I could be doing something wrong
-------------------------------------------------------
I've searched around the forums and haven't seen anything posted on this but i'm kind of curious why apps like the finished version of the music.apk hasn't been pulled from the xoom and posted up here yet.
I'm going to try and find the xoom system dump and play around with it and see if I can find anything but i'm not the greatest with this stuff yet.
I've seen the leaked version of the hc music apk on xda but it doesn't have the 3d gallery flow like the one on the xoom.
I'll post back here if I find anything in my searching. Please post any leads or the links to apps from the xoom if you know something I don't
EDIT: this is posted in the nook forums because I'm running hc on my nook and want to add in the missing hc apps
UPDATE: got the apk files. now the fun of learning how to deodex the files
I know XDA was ordered to take the xoom system dump down. does that mean that the people who already downloaded the dump and post things like the music app or the new gmail app from it will still violate moto's order? could be why we haven't seen anything stripped out and posted...

So a few days ago, I flashed the Larger Than Life EF17 ROM that recently came out. I loved having a rooted Tab with Froyo so i jumped when i saw it in Gingerbread.
I am having one annoying problem though. I am unable to find a few apps on the Anidroid Market that were there on stock Gingerbread. The main two i can think of are Netflix and Documents2Go. I purchased the activating/key program for D2G and can find that but no luck on the main app.
I dont absolutely need Netflix but D2G is my favorite office app and use it nearly daily.
The other oddity is that in the latest market, it shows Books for purchase but i dont see a single movie to rent. The entire movie section is missing from the market.
I understand this is likely causes by the device fingerprint but i dont know what to change it to.
Does anyone have any ideas on what i could do to get back the apps i had in stock EF17? I would have replied to the ROM thread in the Development forum but i havent posted enough on the xda forums to do so.
There are ways to fix the symptoms very easily, but it won't fix the problem you're describing. I've got a netflix apk I can post that should work(don't have d2g). But like I said, won't make apps come up in the market.

i've got the same issue, and cannot update my system apps in the market (says I am up to date, even though I am not).
i keep just pulling them down off my phone and emailing them to myself, but that gets old
