This app appears to be disabled on market for the SGS. I'm on JPM (Froyo) so it should be in there. I figure maybe samsung/optus have removed it forcing me to use their less than satisfactory alternatives.
Where can I get a copy of Google News and Weather? Can I somehow change my phones settings to see more applications in the market.
While I'm at it I may as well replace the calendar application and music player with the stock google apps.
Looks like the ProductCode is now Korean: GT-I9000HKAKOR
Bump.
Does anyone know if news and weather runs on JPM Froyo?

i have seen this bug on one or two forum on diff sites...but there has been no hard answers...so here goes nothing
i have cm7.1 (not sure if that's relevant or not) and am using launcherpro plus...on milestone
all widgets work fine except for gmail. the gmail widget just sticks on "loading"..with nothing popping up in the widget. i have cleared the cache (after force stopping both the gmail and launcherpro apps)..rebooted and every combination thereof..
is this a known bug? i haven't seen anything consistent in either the cm or lp forums about it...is there a work around or option i am not thinking of?
Go to Lancherpro.com and you will find answer to your question. Author quotes -
----------------------------
The API that LauncherPro uses to access your Gmail messages (used on the Gmail widget and the Gmail dock notifications) is being removed in the next version of the Gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher. Apparently the API does not meet modern security standards.
What this means for LauncherPro users is once you update to this new version, your LauncherPro Plus Gmail widget, and LauncherPro Gmail dock notifications will stop working, and even potentially crash the launcher if you try to use them (I don’t have access to this upcoming version yet, so I cannot fully test it).
-------------------------------
So lets wait till new API is in place.
Hey, after searching XDA and google I have been unable to find a way to install the plain, old, stock Gmail Widget on a custom rom. The one that lets you pick a folder and display it in a customizable size window.
To avoid certain comments, I am *NOT* looking for a 3rd party widget which can do what I am asking. I *WANT* the plain, old, stock gmail widget that doesn't require me to install a hacked version of the gmail app to work.
Any help will get a *THANKS* click and my appreciation. I'm either looking for an APK, or a method to extract the widget from another source.
Hmmm... actually, is the stock gmail widget only available in *real* ICS builds? I'm looking at my GFs phone, but somehow I remember it being on the stock ATT rom as well. Lmk.
I can't for the life of me find a thread dedicated to what apps and stuff are working on ICS, so I figured I would start one up.

Google Voice works fine for me (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, stock 4.0.2) - what sort of problem are you having with it?
Chain fire nightmide or msxaa doesn't work

My apps that work with 4.0.3 :
Battery Monitor Widget
Better Battery Stats
SwiftKey

Miren browser
ES File Explorer
Root Explorer
Switchpro widgets
Evernote
XDA premium
AIX weather widget
ADW Ex launcher

Well I can use all of the features of Google Voice that revolve around txt. I used GrooveIP for phone calls and it just crashes. I tried setting up SipDroid and it works but I recently had to re-install my ICS and now it wont work (setting up an already existing account is a pain ). I could use G.Voice as the phone part alone, but it requires some form of a phone plan and I use my cappy as a pmp mostly so no plan on it.

Well I have had apps that don't work , just figured I'd see what people have worknig AND what they have not been able to get working. That way people, like me, can know what they can actually install and use instead of wasting storage space just to find out an app dont work
I've had problems with some apps not thinking I have tts installed while using SVOX. Some apps work fine, others do not. An example that comes to mind is Smarter Alarm. Not sure if the prob is with SVOX or the other apps..
Also Where's My Water works great on my SGN, havnt spent too much time with other games.. GTAIII worked but the buttons seamed not positioned properly, I know they can be manually changed but I haven't done that yet.
GotYa works great.
Hi all,
As you know Beautiful Widgets came out with a new version of their app. The new app, version 5.x.x is awful it's FC'ing like hell and all the widgets are messed up. I can't even use thier last update because every time I try to add 4x1 weather widget it's just FC.
I bought this app on google play and very pissed that they release a new useless version, a lot of their customers think like me you can see from their forums and last [email protected] play.
Unfortunately I didn't make any backup to the last working version (v4.12 afaik). Where can I found a legit v4.12 BW app for downloading (and it will be activated through google play) ?
Thanks
Hi can I ask? I want to make custom ROM from stock ICS for Xperia Tipo.. what app is safe to delete and what doesnt?? I hope anyone can help me with this.. I already search on google but I found nothing relate to this..
well there are some apps which can not be deleted at all
like google partner setup, systemui(status bar) and others
some apps like software update are not needed and are safe to remove
some other apps like phone app, messaging contacts and launcher etc can be replaced by an alternative app
like launcher can be replaced by a good launcher from play store
if you come across an apk you are not sure about, just google for its function
if it is not vital, then remove/replace it
is there any answer like list of it?
