Just got my CDMA Gnex today and after rooting/unlocking, chose to try out Team BAMF Paradigm ROM. Everything works great, but I noticed that the "People" widget that I saw in advertisements for the Nexus appears to be missing. Is there an apk for it somewhere? Should I reflash Gapps?
Sidenote: is the Facebook sync not supposed to work with ICS? I remember reading it a few months ago but haven't been on an ICS ROM until now; any work around for it?

Since my post count is so low I have to start a new thread for this, sorry about that.
I just installed the ICS Beta III

A half hour later or so I get an email from Google 'Welcoming me to my Galaxy Nexus'.
Has this happened to anyone else???
Did you happen to wander into the about section and click on system updates?

Nope, I flashed the ROM then downloaded a couple of apps from the Market as I was doing that I got the email.
All the links go to Google. I am just wondering is it something buried in the ICS code. Once you log on with your Google account it sends out a standard email to the account.
I don't really want to bother any of the dev's with it. They have enough to worry about right now without someone hassling them about something that is not that important in the grander sceme of things.
It's because the galaxy nexus is the only ICS Device with release codes for market so far. That will disappear once a more similar HTC device is released with ICS and we have a broader selection of release codes to choose from. Earlier beta's ran on test codes. They can be changed in build.prop.
Cheers man. I just could not understand it since it did not happen when I flashed the 1st and 2nd beta roms.
Thanks for posting this MrBC I also got this email and was curious about it.
I got this email as well MrBC...
Of course they can track what ROM use are using to browse android market. For example, I have recently update to Android revolution 2.3.5 and now not able to install few app which I used to have earlier on stock ROM 2.3.4.
I also got this
just ignore it lol
what i wondered was if it thinks we have a nexus why can we still not see some android apps lol
It's still beta so there are plenty of bugs. Its possible that there is a framework bug, or some component is missing. Then there is still the fact the a lot of apps on market are listed as not compatible with ICS. I'd expect it to take until 2012 before we have a fully functioning ROM and a fully working market.

Recently got an Epic 4G Touch, still running the stock Gingerbread ROM in anticipation of an ICS OTA coming soon.
In the meantime, though...did anyone ever find a way to get a gmail widget onto Gingerbread? I know one was added in Honeycomb, so I presume it's in ICS as well. Since people seem to rip stuff from other phones and ROMs all the time, I'm curious if anyone ever managed to grab a working gmail widget. The stock email and widget kinda suck.
My understanding is that there's something in the gingerbread Gmail code that stops it. Killed tons of custom wigdets

I booted up my new AT&T S3 and was glad to see the improvements to the calendar and Exchange sync. Tasks are finally supported!
So I flashed to CM9 and Exchange sync was the first thing I checked. Sure enough, tasks were gone. The new functionality must be a Samsung value-add rather than a new ICS feature.
I'm back on stock for now, but was wondering if anyone's tried to extract the Samsung calendar/email/sync and install it on top of CM9?
Damn right! Have the same problem on S2. And all the new JB roms that I have tried does not support it too. Very frustrating... Is there a reason?
Greetings
Hi
i too would like to install some of my stock galaxy s3 (IG-i9300) to be used with my CM9 ROM.
i am mainly interested in:
- SMS app (i liked the way it looks)
- Contacts app (it was very comfortable)
i really can't seem to find any good replacement for the contacts app -__- they're all stupid or trying to be cute.
this is the first phone i've ever rooted and installed a new ROM on, so i could really use a hand with this one
You cannot flash any touchwiz app to an aosp based ron

hey all im a n00b so plz bare with me if my question is stupid lol
is there a ROM u for the s2that would allow me to save contacts to the phone not google account(something liquid smooth didnt let me) also i want to be able to search my phone, and when i sync my contacts with facebook, viber, voxer and whatsapp, etcc i want to get one unified contact instead of like 5 contacts of the same thing…
android version 4.04 is not an option…this version of android took out universal search, which i read online was thanks to Apple lawsuit..idk detailss
im happy with stock (4.0.3) but i wanna get rid of the useless tmobile apps…so basically contacts to the phone (not sync with google) and search my phone is my top priorities ..
are there any samsung roms that have jelly bean? i downloaded kodoo, but playstore and the launcher button didnt work..
roms that i had previous was the newest liquid smooth, kodoo and cynagomod10
kodoo was the closest thing to what i wanted but playtore and launcher button didnt work...
any help would be much appreciated...
An alternative from using your Google account to saving your contacts is via exporting the contacts to a .vcf file on your storage. You can get to this option under the contacts tab of dialer application.
Not sure if it's possible to sync contacts for all the mentioned apps at one time. Aside from Facebook being part of your Google account, the other apps have their own contact list as far as I know.
In terms of ROMs, there are plenty of Jelly Bean Touchwiz based ROMs if you look at the Development section... although they are not the official 4.1.2 for our phone.
One of the options you can check out is the one created by the All-Star Devs here. Good luck!
You need a touchwiz rom
jedi jelly...embryo...jedi mind trick...jedi knight...infamous resurrection...koodo...galaxy_rom
The first 2 are jellybean...everything else is ics. Find the rom threads and follow the op flashing instructions and see which one works the best for you
Also if you have a contact on facebook phone and whatever other accounts you have just open one of the contacts and click menu...join contacts...and search for the other contacts you want to merge..
thanks for the info
the tweak v2 rom was pretty awesome but it didnt run smoothly on my fone,(i wish it did i would have kept it) nor could i load my contacts from sd card. galaxy_rom had too many problems, jedi -->launcher doesnt work properly
i feel the best rom for me would be a samsung based rom(galaxy s3, note2) with jelly bean that willl eliminate tmbile bs apps..any suggestions

i installed CM10.1 on a device that belongs to a friend of mine. he (being an older guy that used to things jumping from his outlook to his calender) needs S-calendar so that he'll have his device syncing with his outlook. where can i find the apk's i need, and will they even work with CM10.1 4.2.2?
Nope. It won't work.
It needs Touchwiz framework.
I had a hard time moving on from S-Calendar when I moved to CM (and I went back to Touchwiz a couple of times because I missed S-Calendar...)
A known dev tried porting it, but never accomplished it.
PS: There is probable some app that syncs Outlook calendar (maybe even Android does it, I don't know)
