The new market 3.2.0 you collected from the Rom dump was leaked few weeks ago.
There are a numbers of posts regarding this. If you haven't seen anything yet, go through the post below.

You really got butt-hurt over him posting this, 'ey? Relax dude. Reposts really don't make that big of a difference worth popping a blood vessel over.

A guy that did a reposting criticized another for reposting his repost lol
CM7 nightly

thanks guys for not flaming me except that first poster lol, i just found this and seen that the ICS package was released last night (were i found it) and i put them all on my phone and this was the only one that was any good that actually worked, i wasnt aware this was already posted and im sry for the repost but, atleast those who didnt catch it have a chance to get it from me. =P

The funny thing is, if he hadn't come in here acting like a tool bag, this thread probably would have died already and been buried. His attack on you posting the apk makes me wonder if his version is modified... Yours comes up a different size, which obviously means one of you changed something about the app before posting it. I saw someone mention in his thread that his is "different" than other market apps in some way (can't remember exactly). So his attack on you has me wondering if maybe he had tampered with it and sees yours as a threat since any one looking at both will notice there's a size difference between the two.

Yeah, dude needs to relax. Your intention was to help. No need for all the caps. And if he's so concerned about the XDA rules, surely he knows that it's also a violation to present oneself as a mod, i.e. telling people what they can and cannot post Whenever people complain about XDA it's people like that that's always the top complaint.

I didn't intended to hurt anyone
First of all let me make it clear that, i didn't intended to hurt anyone nor try to pretend as a moderator.
I just gave an advice to the OP to search the forum before posting something.

I appreciate the edits you've made to your original post, it's much better now. It's just that, it's good to remind people to search and show them where the matter has already been covered but we should try and be respectful and helpful about it. Your original post came across as much too harsh a response, considering that the OP was genuinly trying to be helpful.

I think the problem was two-fold. First, you used all caps for part of your post originally, which implies you're yelling, and you were aware that you used caps since only part if it was capped. Second, your avatar is off putting. It gives the air of authority (to me, anyway), which I think just amplified the use of caps lock in your original post.
Thanks for changing your post, it is much friendlier now.
But do you have an answer to why the two supposedly identical apk's are different sizes?

It seems that in some alternate reality it is acceptable to assume that "in your spare time" means cancel all of your plans and get used to fluorescent lighting because daylight is just the glare on your computer screen. Either way, I am downloading some 2 gigs of random ICS stuff and finally received my replacement Macbook, so between projects I will try to get something moving on this.

You rock! Subscribing.

Right now all I have is the sdk version from RootzWiki, which appears was a post of just the modified boot. I have a few Nexus4g builds that claim to work. I have a rebuilt boot image and I am trying to pack all of it together and see what happens so I know where to start.

I guess if you didn't see the previous thread, which was more or less a rick-roll youtube video that said it isn't possible to get anything running, then an understandable first reaction is to make rude comments...
But if you read the thread you are responding to, you would have seen that on the Nexus it is a working build, capable of being used as more than just a proof-of-concept. Then again, I don't expect people to read these days because they are too busy writing...

Best leave the developing to the developers and stop back when there is something to load up and complain about

So getting an SDK port working on a Nexus S is the same as getting it to run on the ThunderBolt?
I'm not saying it isn't possible though I highly doubt it will work. I'm saying don't call it the "Real Deal".

This is real ICS development, and not a prank so it is as the title says "ICS Development (Real Deal)"
And no, getting a port working on the Nexus S is not the same as getting it to work on the Thunderbolt, which is why there isn't a file in that first post yet. I think you are assuming that the only thing available is the SDK image, though, when the full system dump is out there also.
My previous statement still stands.. Why don't you go shake down some kids for their script source, and come back when there is something here to test.

You do know downloads, packing, transferring, uploading, etc do run in the background right? I remember back when threads like this rallied up support and assistance instead of whatever you call what you're doing... For the record I am waiting on a data wipe and a lot of stuff is still installing since the computer only came yesterday.
I can just toss up every little edit I test and brick phones all day long, or I can document the process and release when it hits milestones. That way I can catch input along the way and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Just swapped the boot on the posted Nexus build, changed over all the apn info, and added in all the keylayout and hardware files. Going through and finding everything that needs to be swapped for a straight port, then if it runs I will post up the progress.

Whether you get anywhere or not, good luck
Nothing wrong with doing something just for the challenge of having said you did it and the experience.

I am glad to see someone putting some real effort into getting an ICS port going. And appreciate you posting your progress here along the way. I'm interested in seeing how you get where you get.
Good Luck

As already mentioned, this thread is for relevant discussion of the upcoming port.
If you have nothing constructive to contribute then keep it to yourself.
No *****ing and whining about the probable lack of functionality, no pestering for ETA's and no petty personal playground nonsense.
No more warnings​If this goes off topic again then there will be repercussions​.

Thanks. The good news is that I have a shopping list of what has been changed to go from sdk to working port. The bad news is that I also have a project due Thursday that I need to actually spend some time with.
For anyone with the sdk build, make sure before even trying to run it that you replace all the /system/bin files that just say toolbox with real files or set up symlinks for them. Busybox also needs to be added/replaced in /system/xbin
This will get that version to where you can run logcat and see the EGL errors, but it will also be in a condition to start tweaking files to get the touchscreen running.

Take as much time as you need! Your life is more important than this.

I am uploading what I have, but not because it is a huge step forward. I fixed all the commands and added the files that should fix the touchscreen, but didn't on this device.
This is still a step forward from the base build we currently have. At least typing a command no longer results in "toolbox" being displayed instead of results. I reverted everything I tested to make sure the only test changes were absolutely necessary to provide a solid base. I will post a link as soon as it is up.

My two yr old son plays fruit ninja and the calculator/calendar/etc opens. I bet a lot ofyou experience the same annoyance of the bottom bar mini apps not having the option to hide or lock on games and other apps on fullscren.

I'm not likely to be getting the device but I'm gonna stop by and help out to get things off the ground.
In terms of speed of development, keep in mind this thing "soft launched" in the US - I didn't even know until a few days ago that it was available at all. It's typical for a device to take a few weeks to get off the ground, the I777 was an unusual exception due to being 95%+ identical to the I9100 and being a majorly anticipated handset launch.

I'm going to start on something here soon, buy this will be my first developing for any device, so you prob won't want to follow anything I do, its gonna be slow and buggy

You can use "Honeybar" ROOT from the Android Market. It lets you hide the bar in Honeycomb.

Hi all,
I just got my hands on a galaxy tab 7.0 plus and was hoping to build a rom for its community (no one has really built a rom for 7.0, its a small community and we just got CWM).
Ideally I'd like to kang together a stock Honeycomb 3.2 rom, free of touchwiz. I was hoping to port over one of the Google I/O Roms for the 10.1. I figure our devices are close enough that I can try tossing over the build props, make sure to use the boot/recovery images from the 7.0 and maybe, just maybe, get lucky. Or at least have a good start.
The problem is that I can't seem to find any of the Google I/O roms, past 3.1. Do those device not get updates? Is there another Touchwiz free rom I can start from? I remembering reading a while back that TWUX is an optional update for the 10.1. I've been looking around, but I'm have a heck of a time finding links that clearly imply I'm dling a Touchwiz free rom. Most of the just say "Stock" which is a bit ambiguous.
If someone would be kind enough to point me to an ODIN and CWM mod version of the sorta rom I'm looking for I'd be greatly appreciative(and hopefully if I can get this out the door, so will 7.0 community)
Thanks!

Infuse, stock ROM force closing Google services framework after market update.

Ok, so my wife has an Infuse and she's experiencing frequent force closes related to the Google services framework. I've dug through several threads mentioning force closes of the framework and tried most of the suggested fixes. The only thing I've stumbled upon that makes a difference is removing the latest market update. This solves the problem until the market updates itself again.
I'm assuming this us because its not completely compatible with her outdated stock ROM.
So the point here is can i prevent the market from updating without root? Has anyone else had this problem with their Infuse?
Normally i don't root her phones but with all of the issues related to trying the get an official update, which still hasn't arrived, she is warming to the idea of a custom ROM. I don't follow the Infuse forum enough to know which ROMs are out there so if anyone has suggestions for a fast, stable ROM that also has Touchwiz I would appreciate it, especially if i cant sort this out in the current ROM. At least until i can get her sold on CM...
Anyway thanks for reading and i appreciate any suggestions.

Also, if she says that her wifi is dropping, set your router's dchp (whatever it is) to one week instead of forever.. and....... I think that should do you.

Getting Rid of Goo.im

So an unpleasant surprise in the EOS Nightlies and a few other builds is the inclusion of SPAMWARE called Goo.im. Its a notification app that could double as spyware as well. Its full functionality and the extent it can invade your privacy is unknown.
To remove it, simply do the following:
- Start Titanium Backup
- Find Goo Manager
- Long press to convert to user app
- Once converted, long press again to delete
After that you'll be free of this SPAMWARE.

Its not spamware it tells you when you have an update for your rom and gapps

In my books - that is SPAM. Never the less, new users of nightlies will find removing this or disabling a little difficult and this post is meant to be informational for all those who don't want opt-out notification.

First of all, I believe it is called gooManager.
If this is what you are referring to, this is not a spam or malware. Your book could be infected, with all respect, no offence...
This is an application subscribed to by team eos to host many dev apps, and ROMs and to notify you whenever there is an update available for you. Is it an added value feature that other ROMs lack. It is not spam no whatsover... thx for the tip though on how to use titanium backup...

Dude you might need to places ur time in something else other then flashing Roms bc that feature u so called what to show people how to remove is a blessing to everyone that understand they don't have to go in to the rom and select the update every time. Also, people have put a lot of time in to that feature.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app

Goo manager is NOT spam and is in fact the ONLY app I use to automatically notify me of a ROM or gapps update then download the update, wipe, backup and flash all from the app (as long as open script recovery). I even donated $10 for support of the dev.
Your opinions are your own but realize you are incorrect to call it spam or imply that it is in any way malicious. Uninstalling it should have sufficed without need for this thread... IMO.

... perhaps you just shouldn't use our ROMs then; in fact, I'd prefer that you don't (seriously!) if you have those kinds of issues with our builds.
BTW, you're not making much sense- after all, we make these ROMs ourselves essentially from scratch- if we'd wanted to "spy" on you, there's FAR more innocuous ways to do it (that you'd never know about nor be able to remove w/o a full wipe) than having to "install 'spy'ware".

This thread sucks. If you don't want update notifications, go into the settings on goomanager and set the "ROM Update Frequency" setting to never.

It's along the same lines as google, moto etc telling you an OTA is available?

Mr OP... Your thoughts here are very flawed and they lack insight and logic. I know I really shouldn't give this guy the time of day and he is likely a troll... But if you ARE new to this stuff and you are feeling your way through these processes, you need more information than he gave.
First is a simple argument with very simple logic. If indeed this app is malicious in intent, you can trust that they would have simply been caught by now! Do you really think all the code writers and programmers and enthusiasts and all around nerds (I can say it cause I am one) wouldn't have discovered it? The awesome people on this board were able to find out that a ICS leak for the Motorola DROID Bionic had a check in place that stopped the returning to stock process. And they didn't do it by experimentation, they busted through the code and put it through tests... Other stuff cause they're just that damn good!
Secondly, if they were again being malicious and say they were caught but they somehow convinced everyone that has caught them to keep it quiet and they cut them in on the action... Dude, really? We did in fact for to the moon, I promise you that. (that's a conspiracy theory crack, didn't want the genius OP to miss out on a joke).
Third, it's not necessary you tell people how to get rid of the app because if you're on this board, you're smarter... Wait.... Since we are dealing with this thread I can't say EVERYONE here is smart.
In the end, this is a much optional app. Rooting and roming are much optional. If you don't want it, don't use it. No one really cares to invade your privacy, no one cares what porn you browse on your Xoom! If you hate this kind of stuff go buy iProducts and be a drone like the rest of the hipsters.
Have a nice night now!

*rolls eyes*.....*types out long reply to OP*....*spam backspace*....*hits submit reply*

U mad OP?
Hit the thanks button and wam it disappears ! Try it.

I wasn't a fan of the notifications, and prefer to boot into recovery to flash updates, so I uninstalled, not seen any reasons to claim it was malicious though... perhaps the OP doesn't understand why it has the permissions it has :-\
