When I try to run this on my ICS/CM9 powered Nook it tells me I'm using a phone and to download the EX (phone) version. This pisses me off as I dislike anyone telling me what to do with MY hardware.
I emailed them and asked that they allow the Nook to run the HD launcher and they told me

If a bunch of us email them asking for this I think they would consider it. So let's get to emailing these people so our tab's can run what they should be allowed to run in the first damn place.
Thanks.

Its just a problem with ICS for now. Some apps think the nook is a phone. The same issue occurs with apps like opera mobile and the kindle app. I think newer builds might fix it but I'm not positive on that.

Why bother? GO Launcher HD is really a rough beta and there are so many better and more mature ICS compatible launchers out there including the CM9 launcher. Also Apex and Nova are much better..
Apex and Nova arn't bad but I like the Adw/LP/Go style launcher. It just needs more tab options..
They should allow it, that's why I'm bugging them.

I thought maybe my install was corrupted, so I tried 2 more times, and even ran ACMEUninstaller to redo the whole process...but it still thinks my touchpad is a GT-i9100.
what should I do?
I think it's meant to do that for app compatibility.
in that rom the developer probably edited the build.prop (found in system/app) to GT-I9100 so that a lot of apps are usable on your touchpad.
So in a way it should benefit you

The build.prop file has been changed to be able to play Gameloft games, mostly.
Rev Kyle has a video showing how it's changed.
Do a search and you'll find plenty of info on this.
Touchpad
Hi all
I tested almost all the Xron Roms from start to end with most of the apps and games. 2.9.1 is the best.
give it a try.......

As stated above it is done on purpose in order to allow more apps and games to work successfully from the market. Enjoy it, it's a great ROM with great developers that will only get better!
Since it's a device that wasn't initially built for Android, not many apps would install, much less run, on it if we said it was a TouchPad.... no apps were designed with that in mind and the Market definitely wasn't.
The build.prop was edited to reflect an android device that most programs will agree and download off the market. Since the Touchpad is a WebOS, it is not to be known as an Android device. You can edit the build.prop to any device, but the Samsung seems to be the better choice of all.

I agree. Been using xron for a while now and the 2.9.1 is working very smoooth
But all the apps run really small...like they are for a phone screen. Is there a way to make it run full screen?
Thanks.

Thankz for the cm & xron team to make such a good rom. Enjoy flashing it 3 times a day. It work with my eye-fi card and my camera now. Just wish to have a better driver to get stable Wi-Fi connection.

I also get this but only for one app. Its the gameloft brick breaker game. Because its only visible on the one game I suspect it is a problem in the coding of the game
I have only one app that shows up small and that's adao file manager. But I knew that was gonna happen.
i have radio.com player showing up small..but its ok as it runs in the background anyways

thanks for the help peoples.
Probably best to wait until they update. The conversations that may ensue from your question could be borderline unacceptable on these forums.

the stock dpi that comes with ics 320, the intersting thing is when i go to the google play store from my pc, and it asks which device i want to load it to it shows me having a i777 instead of my i717 that could be part of it. but when i go to the google play store on my phone all it pulls up when i do a search are the themes and widgets for tsf shell never the actual launcher. i downloaded the APK and installed it and it ran for a day then it popped up and said licence could not be found and shot back to apex.
im just curious if anyone esle is running the legit version and " how you did it"
i cant be the only one trying to tsf shell on ICS<<<<<
and i can run it just fine for a day or 2, but then it pops up saying couldnt find license and boots me back to the apex one.
i Have Bought it, just so yall know im not trying get a free app. can anyone maybe tell me how if i get it on there can i manually get my license on there since i cant see it from the market, and i see it in app brain but when i click install it says "your device is not compatible with this version"
if just have to wait from them to update it to ICS then i will, i just thought there would be some sort of work around that was within reason.
This theme is probably incompatible with thecurrent version. in luncher tsf

Running a Sense 3.6 or 4.0 ROM and tired of not having a choice what app to use?
Sick of Apple and their patent infringement lawsuits?
This script will revert the workaround HTC put in place to comply with the ITC's order to remove the patent infringement.
This script makes a backup of your current build.prop, and then EDITS IT IN PLACE.
What does this mean? It means you can flash THIS file on ANY ICS 3.6 or 4.0 ROM on this phone and it will not mess up any tweaks your specific ROM dev has put in place.
Why is this important? There are a number of build.props edited with this fix (and others)...some of them are from the stock ROM and some are from various other custom ROMs. Simply copying one over your current build.prop could lose you important optimizations, or custom fixes your dev has set up. By flashing this script you keep those customizations and still get the benefit of having your choices back.
Instructions:
To tell if this edit worked for you, check in settings. If the app associations menu option is gone, then it worked.
You will need to clear defaults for specific programs in order to have a choice pop up.
Example:
If you have selected Chrome for your default browser in app associations, you will need to go to menu/settings/apps/downloaded/Chrome/clear defaults.
The next time you tap a URL you will have a choice of which browser to use.

Thanks to iconeo for the original thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1693809
Thanks to Steal25 for the actual build.prop edits.
I am including two zip files. The first one will make the build.prop change to allow you to choose your own defaults.
The second one (HTCLinkify-revert.zip) will allow you to put your build.prop back to its default.
There are other build.prop edits out there and I will be creating ROM agnostic flashable zips for those as well.
Please let me know if there are any issues with this flash.
Good idea on packaging it this way it'll make it easy for those that havent made edits to a build.prop yet.
very good!

Right, that was my thought as well. Plus this way if a dev updates the ROM but doesn't add this fix in as a default, it's the easiest way to get it back.

Thanks. That was my whole point: I could see times where people would just copy over random build.prop that already had the tweak, over a ROM with a heavily edited build.prop and mess up everything their ROM Dev was trying to do...and then I thought of the poor devs trying to cope with figuring out random glitches due to build.prop changes and I thought...hey, let's make this easy for EVERYONE.
Now the users don't have to edit it themselves and the devs don't get stuck trying to figure random bugs out without knowing a user may have changed build.prop, or overwritten it.
Win for everyone.

Nope. This mod allows you to choose what app you want to launch when clicking on say a URL. This is the functionality that Apple claimed infringed one of their patents.
It doesn't have anything to do with 3rd party apps, aside from allowing you to decide which one you want to launch, either each time, or by default.

I'm still kind of confused, so was the patent on the "Complete action using" dialog box? I thought that was present in all Androids for years now, and I thought iOS didn't even give you an option.

Yep, that's what it was about. And whether android has been using it forever or not isn't the point. Apple dusted off their patent book and found that it was infringing.
Stupid patent law system.

Hello everyone, I am a fairly new XDA user and have been on topics for my Galaxy S2. I also happen to own a Transformer Prime TF201. I have to admit, I love everything about the tablet aside from its size. Not so portable but, great aside from the portability.
Since there are little to no tablet optimized apps on Android I end up using the browser on the prime more than anything. Occasionally I will run into a problem where a page will load completely blank white. Usually, when this occurs, I just clear the cache and things get fixed. But, a few days ago, even after clearing the cache, the pages will load completely blank white. I have Chrome on my prime so I can use that at the moment but, it is very unstable compared to the standard browser that comes with the prime. Does anyone know of a fix to this white page loading problem?
Sorry if this has already been mentioned or fixed before. I did a search and didn't find anything on the topic so, I figured that a new topic might be necessary.

I would say just ditch the built in browser. I use two browsers: 1. Chrome as my primary and 2. Dolphin if I come across something where I really need flash. JB does away with the old Browser app and replaces it with Chrome anyway. So why not get it and get used to using it now rather than try to get along with the old browser which is going away anyway.

There is just something about Chrome on the tablets and phones that just don't do it for me. The PC version is fantastic, but, the android version is just bad I think. I have it lock up all of the time. I guess I'll have to use it for the time being I guess.

That's what I currently use and it works great. I will say that I have had it toss out the occasional ANR message and crash, but I find it to be more stable than Chrome.

On nook color I added android on top of stock Rom because I wanted the kids reading book functionality. Is there something similar for the tablet?
Yes. You can root and add any launcher that works with Gingerbread. I know the update.zip I posted in the development section includes homecatcher, which will ask you what you want to launch, stock launcher or another, when you press the n key twice. It's the same update zip that is posted elsewhere too, I just couldn't find it when I was looking last night.

Technically you can make it work on any from. You just need to get the apps from the apps and themes section. Also if its just the nook reading app you want, you can still download it from the market, and you can also get books from Google too, I've testing it on 4.x Roms and up, and it works really well.
