SGS'ers on ICS - Post what apps n add ons and mods you've done

Ok thought I would take the rubbish out of the dev thread.
So far I have done this:
Flashed JVT from start with custom .PIT file. Speeds up Ice Cream sandwich, I've tested this and it works great. Visually no lag and it works on top of any lag fix you do after wards.
[HOW TO]
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-12mb-in-nand-symlink-modem.6361/#post-131323
So here it is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43088692/12MB_Gain_NAND_Symlinked_Modem.bin.zip
Download and instructions - Everything you need is in that zip (its not a CWM zip by the way) load it to your PC and unzip. Follow the PDF print outs I have included and also as an acknowledgement to ykkfive's hard work (this references directly back to coolya's work from XDA https://github.com/cmsgs/utilities/tree/master/pit-stuff)

1. You can do this by taking a CWM Nandroid backup of your current setup.
2. Flash back to stock using Odin and the files I have provided in my drop box zip file.
3. I have added modem.bin file, script manager apk, buszybox apk and superuser apk for everyone should they wish to test the script and modem on the base JVT setup that they just flashed.
4. When it works correctly boot into recovery and then restore your CWM Nandroid backup and viola your done
5. Boot up - NB: You will notice you have no reception until you run the script in script manager.
You set on moot the script to run and in ICS it seems to work better than on JVT (where I had to initiate the script even after checking the onboot function).

Swype for Ice Cream Sandwich - I am so effin sick of the stock keyboard. Went on the Galaxy Nexus pages for a rummage around see what I could find?

Nova Launcher! Yeeeew finally a replacement. ****s on the standard launcher, can make GOSMS my sms app in the dock setup just how I always wanted it. Go Launcher Ex fails big time on ICS so don't bother installing it (even though I love it) the animations on GO Launcher cause big time crashing hahaha test for ya self for LOLs
You will ditch the stock launcher in an instant once your on this. It allows resizing of widgets and app draw also has widget draw like standard launcher.

Ice cream sandwich clock download from market. It looks like the clock in the pictured icon of the clock....not the gay looking analog clock that comes with it that I tried for ages to work out how to change the skin when you can't.
Haven't got a link for it atm but its in the Market so just download from there.
Feel free to post up anything additional that would be helpful

Heya everyone. I am not sure if bumping is allowed on here, but I noticed I didn't get any replies from anyone and I know there a hell of a lot of Ice Cream Sandwich users out there now.
Feel free to share any add ons.

Thank you for sharing this, i cant understand why google decided to build a dialer without t9 index.
since i got t9 dialer i never keep the numbers in my head anymore!

Whats the difference? I am running a tweaked version of MyUI ICS ROM on my Phone and freakin rocks!
The MyUI version of the ICS ROM based off OneCosmic's RC 2.11.
- List of Mods. 1% increments on the battery using the similar style to Perka's MOD of Elin ROM ICS. Uses the ICS font for numerals upto 100 and has blue lightning bolt whilst charging.
- Uses Nova Launcher and Glitch Kernel but with the nice white standard Google boot image and tweaked Boot animation as well.
-Center Date in notification dropdowm menu
Drop box is here:

Feel free to try it out. Just do Nandroid backup of your ROM and then flash this, then restore Data from your Nandroid backup and your back in action

anyway to stop vibration on lockscren?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I think there is, u need to search in settings of the phone.

Thanks alot, Ive been looking for swype and a good and proper replacement launcher!
swype thread link broken?

didnt find a way to disable vibration on lock screen. if you disable haptic feedback in settings, it still vibrates.
furthermore, the vibration on haptic feedback is very high and not configureable.. thats annoying. disabled it, using now a keyboard with custom vibration length (htc_ime mod, yeah - still running under ics)

That one doesn't work after i tested it. The look of it is nice but the apk is made for a much bigger phone. It stretches too wide for the screen lol.
I went back to FlexT9 keyboard. By far the best swype out there that I have ever used. I keep deviating but I keep returning back to that old faithful hahaha. The issue with ICS is that it won't let you over ride the standard ICS keyboard to use anything other than native. So you need to freeze the keyboard apps with Titanium Backup. Then install the keyboard of your choice...in my case FlexT9. then I go and remove the apks from system/app like LatinIME and any associations with the standard keyboard, dictionary etc and put them in a folder on my SD card for "just-in-case"....cause that Justin bloke has saved me on many occasions lol.

I managed to use SwiftKey X without any problem - I do not need to freeze the stock ics keyboard apps.

i guess u knw wt i have done ..

You've found my very very very old thread that I started when ICS only first came to SGS...hahah

[Q] widgets not updating after upgrade to ICS

Iam on ICS LPD stock rom with root,my widgets working fine, and have no task killer apps installed
Then I used go launcher ex, most of widgets are not updating after upgrading to ICS , such as typo clock pro does not update the clock, BeWeather pro dose not update the forecast, and market enabler 3.1.1.3 is working and facking but i can not see the paid apps as before
I uninstalled the go launcher and the widgets then reinstalled them, but still the same problem, widgets working fine for some times then stop updating
Although the widgets are working fine all the time with the stock launcher, and when I restart the go launcher the widgets work once again for a while then stop.
Then I thought it might be from go launcher, so I used Apex launcher pro, and faced the same story
I even changed the stock kernel to speedmod kernel with no luck
Any ideas?????

after upgrading i had to reinstall some apps like reckless racing 2, worked fine after that.

I uninstalled them then reinstalled them, still working fine for some times then stop updating!!!

I think you should wipe data and then reinstall apps again..
That's work with mine.

(wipe data)Do you mean format the phone from recovery, or you mean clear data from the application menu and uninstall?
I usually clear the data and uninstall then reinstall.
what about market enabler? is there any other app can do that ?

Any other ideas?????

The same problem.

I know your work, you.re doing a great job .
Do you have an answer why with factory reset, the system finds the tw, and after that, not?

You can't use stock TW launcher on CM7, because CM7 don't have tw-framework. You can try to find some ported TW launcher, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324850

By "endless screen loop" you mean something like infinite scrolling? Pretty much EVERY custom launcher has it, why just don't try? I can say that almost all customized launchers are better than any stock launcher, like TW. I suggestion Holo Launcher, take a look into it.

I know. But you know the problems with ace ram memory... i.m using xperia homescreen wich is awesome. The only one without lagg.
I thought that tw, beeing optimized for ace, will run smoothly. The 2.3.4 version is ok, but i would like that "infinite..." from 2.3.6.
It.s an obsession )

In fact, TW is one of the most RAM-hungry for me. I know that being made by Samsung gives the impression that it is better, but just think that some much more powerful phones don't run touchwiz properly, at least Samsung says. You can remove the TW launcher after you've found a nice other launcher, so you don't need to worry about RAM.

[Q] The problem with TW

Hi friends:highfive:
I have a question !
Does the new note Tw have problem (4.1.2)?
because when you Clear the Memory, it reloads every thing. but when I'm on the other launchers, it wont happen !
if I'm right please introduce me a fixed one
Thanks every one:good:

If you put the LAUNCHER YOU ARE USING as DEFAULT LAUNCHER then clearing memory will not reload that launcher...
