It seems this Widgetsoid has been abandoned. The battery info switch doesn't display the correct battery info from the setting.
I contacted the author and got no answer.
So what do you use for toggle settings widget?
Widgetsoid was very good and powerful btw.

It works yes, but if I click it, I got the phone info from the settings.
And not the battery details information.
Extended Controls is not compatible with ICS yet, I read on it's market entry. They are working on it though.

On the Market entry, at What's New it says "Added Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwitch) compatibily"(sic). I admit I didn't test it yet...

Exactly, especially because I paid for it. Well, for such an inexpensive price, I won't complain much. But this kind of developer attitude make me sad.

FWIW, if you visit the dev's Facebook and Twitter pages, he mentioned this week that updates are on hold because his computer crashed and took his source code with it. He's trying to find a backup, but in the meantime it might be worth a try to contact him via either of those for help with the battery info issue.
Ok, hope he will update soon ...
Great to know it wasn't abandoned!

I use Notification Toggle. It also looks nice with the ICS blue. I paid for extended controls but havent used it in so long ever since Gingerbread.....too many bugs. Quicker is another good app ive used but i like a set of toggles that mimics touchwiz and/or cyanogenmod and this app does that nicely.

I purchased extended controls too. Its a good app.
I've tried several, 'extended control', 'widgetsoid' and switchpro:
- ec and widgetsoid can use notification bar
- none of them can activate the flash
- none of them can activate the gps, only redirect to the settings page, widgetsoid developer states in the facebook page that is an ICS security limitation but official widget is able to activate/desactivate the gps!
- only ec can activate/desactivate wifi tethering
- battery status is ok
- all of them are resizable with BRD Launcher at 241 DPI but not of all them can be installed directly from the market
Until GPS problem is fixed i'm keeping the official widgets

Someone needs to tell him that data doesn't exist unless it is in two places.
It surprises me that people who work on computers or computer related tech fail to back their stuff up.
Is there a good working navigation program? I tried with navigon but it wouldn't start. Tried out IGO with 800x600 resolution but it will only use 1/3 of the screen?
Any good tips?
Have you tried Google Maps or Navigation?

Yes but I would like to have maps in phone, not downloading when you need it cause it's gonna be expensive when drive down in Europe.
Try Sygic 11.2.3
It's very nice and compatible with ICS.

You can precache areas in google maps so you can navigate the route even if you have your cellular turned off when driving.

I tried Igo (build 8.4.2.139242).
It works but it uses only 1/3 of the screen, so it was very small. It said it was 800x600 resolution and thought it would stretch out to fill the screen but it didn't.
Downloaded Route 66 Follow me from market place. You get 30 day's trail.
It works but the follow me function in which you use the camera wouldn't work.
Addresses are also incomplete for Sweden so will see if I find another one to try.
Copilot just updated their app and it now works perfectly.

I've pulled the new DirecTV app for tablets. It's not available in the Play Store for the Nexus 7, but it works just fine side loaded.
It's a pretty damn awesome app if you are a DirecTV customer. You can see the app info here.
Download the latest .apk: http://d-h.st/ZBr
Thanks @bwalz
Thanks for this just saw the post over at Android Police about how it's not available for the N7; first instinct was to look for an APK haha

I suspect it was designed for 10"'s which is why the N7 isn't compatible in the market. I tweeted them, as if that'll do any good.

Is anyone else having trouble registering their receivers? I can scan for them with the dtv remote plus app, but the dtv tablet app doesn't find them and won't let me manually register them.

Anyone download the new maps? I just received the update via the play store last night ... downloaded it and it's slow as heck! Runs much slower (fps-wise) than the previous maps. Also several features are hidden / removed...
Thoughts?

Map Caching still there
Map Caching is still there... but its an easter egg right now...
Search for "Okay Maps" and it'll copy it to the clipboard, aka the cache.

so this update removes Navigation and incorporates it into the maps app, then tells you that the "maps navigation" is in beta and to use caution. nice

Well WTH! I wonder why it seems so sluggish on my phone. I just ran a quick quadrant test to make sure everything is running up to snuff and got a nice ~5600 or so, so no issues there. Everything else seems in line, and the old maps ran fine too.
So you don't find the frame rate to be slow or anything? I wonder what the heck is going on with my phone. Perhaps I should reboot after updating..

I'm wondering why the features besides caching map data found in labs appear to all be missing. I'm particularly missing the "measure" feature that allows me to measure distance as the crow flies between any two points. I'm also bummed about the bigger text option disappearing. Obviously there are lots of cool new features and I love the new interface but wish they didn't remove features that were already buried in the labs section.
