i have started to port tf201 apps to our tfs and i think it will work since i got the battery widget and mynet to work on our tfs, so please share what you know about modifying apks and i will try to get filemanager systemui and other stuff over.
I put together an installable apk for the Asus MyWater2 (orca) wallpaper by pulling it from a system dump, deodexing it, signing it, and zip aligning it. The wallpaper installed and worked without issue on my TF101 since minimum supported API version for the wallpaper equates to Android 2.2
I used smali/baksmali to deodex the files from the system dump and instructions for signing and zip aligning can be adapted from the 2nd post in this thread.
To make installable do you have to sign and zipalign? I just deodexed and copied to system/app. Im having some problems deodexing some files, mycloud.apk.

Attached is an installable apk for the Asus Battery Widget from the Prime and a screenshot of it in action on my TF101 with dock (it's the one on the left). I pulled it from a Prime dump, deodexed it, signed it, and zipaligned it. Remember that you need to allow installation of non-Market applications (Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources). If you download it straight to your TF101, remember that you need to use a File Manager to install it and not the Downloads application.
I'm really not too impressed by its looks and still prefer the one I created myself (on the right). If you're interested, my battery widget can be found over in this thread.
awe man i got them workin and i was about to post. i think i will change the colors a bit then pt in the market. i have made installable mynet by the way.

Is there any difference in the Supernote application? If so, is it possible to extract it from the Transformer Prime?

You keep talking about Mynet, but what actually changed with Prime on this app ?
i dont know really it looks different though
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Checked the screenshot for the Prime's MyNet version.
The music, photo and video selection buttons are no longer on top. It now appears to be in a configurable drop-down menu below the server selection menu in the left column, and there's a search function next to the settings drop-down menu, and a new blue/black theme.

there are a few new apps in the 4.0.3 prime update
might be more difficult to port due to the ics framework but its probably worth a try
I was just thinking that. could anyone link me to a prime ics system dump?

Update file

A few apps run out of the box from this update on TF101 HC
Ever think that when we get ICS, odds are apps we share in common will probably be the same version/build as from the Prime?

Is there any way to remove blank or unused pages on the home screen? I organize my apps into named folders so I've no use for the other four pages pages.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
Not in the stock launcher. Some other launchers (like: GO Launcher HD (EX is only for phones, HD is for tablets)) will allow you to control this. Others here have used Apex and Nova Launcher, but I can't speak to them. I do know that there were stability issues with some of those.

try pressing the home button,--> after pressing it, it will show you all the desktop pages, you can click and drag those pages that you are not using up into the trash bin (same process when you delete widgets from your homescreen)
hope it helps .. ^_^

Will using a launcher kill my battery?

Wont let me edit my last post. Grr. I guess what I want to know is if stock launcher will still be running under or alongside apex launcher? I don't want two launchers eating up resources.

From my consulting days "It Depends."
The launcher itself shouldn't. It replaces the default launcher (the first time you press 'home' you can select the default - go to settings ->apps -> the launcher -> clear defaults (or uninstall the launcher) to get back to the stock one). If you use GO there are a lot of cool ad-ons and widgets that will consume battery but you have to download them separately and add them manually. Since you're trying to keep one screen I'll assume that you wont be adding a ton of widgets.
The only difference in system is that some launchers may take more memory than others and if there is battery drain it's trivial (like checking daily for an update instead of weekly or something not enough to notice by any means).
Note that when you change your launcher you will have to re-setup your home screen. If you revert to the stock launcher your old setup will still be there, so it's not lost. Each launcher just saves their own configuration.
Good luck!
Thanks, everyone. I look forward to participating here in the forums. I am also on overclock.net.
P.S. has anyone done extensive comparisons on which launcher performs the best and uses the least amount of resources while doing so? Im open to opinions.

No one has done a full comparison (that I know of) but reading through these might help (some are more general and background, some should give you an idea of problems/questions that other people have.)

I used Apex on my Droid Bionic. It's VERY close -- as in, nearly identical -- to the stock Moto launcher. I liked it a lot, better than ADW, in fact.

I really like the minimalist look and feel of the stock Asus theme. Nova, Apex, etc have to many bells and whistles for my tastes. But, I really like the icon dock. Any way to add that feature to stock?

Install CROMI with the new JB launcher. You'll get stock everything and that neat dock at the bottom following you around.

I have changed the battery icon for the tablet (see attached) and was trying to change the keyboard/dock to the same icon. I know it has something to do with the Transformer.apk, but don't know how to change it. I have pulled the apk to mod it, but I am at a dead end. Does anyone know how I would change the dock battery?

I posted how to do this in the development section, page 2 near the bottom. I also sent you a pm per your request.
It is easy if you look at the files I posted and see the changes.

The reason the 1% dock battery icons are not showing up is that you named them incorrectly.
It is important you download the .zip file I posted in my 1% battery post. The entire file structure is layed out including the name of the 1% battery icons and where they go. This also includes the names of the .xml battery scripts and where they go. One of the scripts is about 9kb and the other about 40kb. The dock battery icons have there own script/icons which is not the same name as the SystemUI script/battery icons.

I am not trying to get the 1% battery icons. I am simply trying to use the icons that I changed the color of. That is why I don't understand why it isn't working. I changed the color of the stock Asus battery icon and replaced it in the same folder.

The battery icons for the dock are in framework-res.apk: asus_ep_kb_battery_*.png, etc.
I have changed them to the colors I want, but the changes don't seem to work. Anywhere I saw the Asus keyboard battery icons I replaced them to be on the safe side, but nothing seems to work. I am at a loss.

Not really (that I know of) but cool tablet widget are:
- HD Widgets (weather/clock/quick toggles),
- EyeInSky (weather)
- (I like stock widgets )
UCCW should work fine on a tablet (just like pretty much every widget), but it will not look great most of the time.
