Apps missing or not working on Galaxy Nexus (or ICS?) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I hope these are more likely to be problems with Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) that the Galaxy Nexus, but I have found quite a few apps which no longer work.
FLASH ("not compatible")
BBC iPlayer ("not compatible")
BBC News (official) ("not compatible")
Hancent SMS ( Not locking default 'messenger app')
Awesome Drop (not connecting)
Anyone found any more?

How about:
Google Voice?
Any of the console emulators?
Any of the EA games?
Any of the Markiet Gameloft Games (I am pretty sure none of these will work, don't know why I am bothering to ask, lol)
Any of the advanced video players (MX video, VPlayer)
Netflix?
Skype?
Any file managers, (ES, Astro, etc)?
Dolphin, Opera or other third party browsers?

Facebook works but has glitches and no way to go to the settings page within the app..

IVONA Text-to-Speech doesn't work as it doesn't come up as an option under text-to-seech output so can't be selected.
IMDB is missing its widget.

USA Today News app is "incompatible".

N64oid and FPse both work fine. Most games play without any issues. Majoras Mask looks amazing!
SNESoid doesn't work yet. It launches, then when you try to load a rom, it stops working.

HBOGo and Hulu+ do not work. However, once the Nexus Galaxy comes out, with a similar resolution to the Note, I beilieve they will through an update.

Simple Calendar widget keeps force closing on mine

Opera & Skype are working fine

ES works fine ....... vplayer works fine for the types ive tried (avi, wmv, flv, mp4 )

This is an interesting thread. I wonder if these are the reasons the Nexus failed Verizon testing here state-side.

Dolphin Browser HD starts to work but then freezes. I have contacted their support team, await a reply.

I think these app problems are due to Ice Cream Sandwich, not the Galaxy Nexus, and the developers of the apps just need to tweak them, mark them as ICS compatible and then send out the update.
The apps which are unavailable from the market, haven't been marked as compatible with ICS... so the market wont show you them.
I don't think that app availability/problems would cause delay of feature in Verizon testing.
The phone itself works a treat

Prey closes on me. That's something I'd really like working on such an expensive phone

Latest version of root explorer has a few issues (minimises to a small area on the bottom left of the screen) however an older version (2.16) works fine.
Beautiful widgets & pure calender widget work fine
Handcent seems ok (not loosing default actions for me)
Adfree installs and appears to work alright, however I've noticed some adds in a few games so not 100% sure whether it's fully working
Titanium backup is fine but app processing mode (under preferences) needs to be set to "interactive/classic"

Android agenda widget doesnt handle events correctly - puts them a month in future
Several other agenda type widgets FC
Sims3 game fails to install
Topcashback app FC
ES file manger is fine and root element works
Skype works for me

EBay gives me error code 5013 and crashes, amazon is hit and miss also.

I've found:
LauncherPro works but some of the LPwidgets crash the handset forcing a 'clear data'
Sandisk memory app doesn't work - presumably it's looking for a non-existent memory card
NoGravity - app crashes
Confirmed Apps that work:
NFS Hot pursuit
FlickGolf
RecklessGetawaySprinkle
Profanisaurus
Android Pro Widgets
BeautifulWidgets
Dropbox
DualFIleManager
GoogleSkyMap
IMDB
Poweramp
3dSkyOrb
Speedview

Couldn't use Navigon 4.0 , the wlan option to download the map failed and using the PC to transfer the map also failed.
Got a refund.

[Info] List of apps that aren't compatible

I thought it might be useful to put together a list of apps that aren't compatible (either partly, or at all) with ICS.
If this thread gets enough responses, perhaps it can be stickied?
Post your findings, and I'll try to update the first posts with updates so prospective Nexus buyers can see what may not work.
Adobe Flash - doesn't appear in market. Available from end of 2011
BBC Iplayer - Doesnt Show in Market
BBC News - doesn't appear in market at all. Now works
Blood and Glory crashes
Calendar pad won't open
CalanGoo not working/syncing. Due to new Calendar APIs?
Dolphone Browser - multiple reports of freezing etc.
Evac HD and Radiant HD by Hexage don't work. They install and launch, but you just get a black screen.
Facebook - Doesn't implement menu button, so can't set options/contact sync Update adds menu button back (but no contact sync still)
Flickr - you can't get past the signin process Update available to resolve the login problem now
Go Contacts has issues with themes
Google Earth - Loads but won't respond (multiple reports of this, although some users find it works?) Now working for me too. Maybe it needed a rest.
Google Tasks Organiser - see CalanGoo
London tube status widgets also broken
MX Video Player - Installs but says device isnt supported
RemindMe also doesn't work. It too installs, but you get a weird black screen when you start it
Root Explorer - Now updated in Market
Skype works, video calling does not.
SwiftKey doesn't bring up predictions? Several users now confirming this does work okay
Sygic (Sat nav) can do initial setup, but won't display nav screen (reverts to home). Now working
Tweetdeck - When posting, dropdown options don't appear for location, contacts etc doesn't appear. Posting box just fills screen. TweakDeck in the Market sorts all problems nicely!
Urbanspoon hangs at the loading cuisines screen
Urban Dictionary by Tim Clark FC's in use Now fixed, update in Market
- Note, I've not added every single report to this list; as some are "intermittently crashes" etc. This could be just random bad luck, but if several people post the same kind of issue I'll add it. Sorry I don't update this as frequently as i'd like!
(reserved)
BBC Iplayer
MX Video Player

Yeah i tried co pilot yesterday. After it opened it closed down immeadiatley.
Alk sent me an email with my serial key and i am now able to use it. However it still opens and then hides itself and i have to re open from the icon in the notification tray.
Im kind of gutted coming from a fully compatible Gs2. Feel like a beta tester!
So far ive have issues with
Shazam
Lack of adobe flash
Ebay app - get random network error message which stops me from viewing listings
Most decent movie players.
Citrix reciever
If you have gs2 think hard before making the jump, as nice as the device is it is lacking a whole host of useful features added by touch whiz i.e
video codecs - mkv , divx xvid
all share - decent dlna app
ability to add individual callers to a block list
split view mailboxes
flash - for now

Well, it's not really a leak since the source is available - the XBMC guys have chosen not to make an APK available yet because it's not complete (lack of hardware accelerated video playback comes to mind). Anyway, the APK is from here: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136. It may be worth looking there from time to time as they say they plan to keep the APK updated.

So far iv only used 3 skins, 2 work perfect and the 3rd also works but there are some menus you cant assess like when you press left arrow on remote/keys.
Its not playing my MP3 over WIFI but it plays Videos in MKV and other file formats with sound but low FPS,
Movies,Pictures and most other things work fine when played from the SDcard/stick
UI is very small but usable.
Looks very promising

Im finding the menu issue is present with my favourite skin... Neon. Although I can get the sideways ones to pop out sometimes. I eventually managed to get the movies into slide view.... After lots of swiping and button pressing. I still dont know what made it pop out. Havent managed to get the to pop up when the view menu is at the bottom though so I cant get out of slide view.
All my mkvs etc play awesome straight from my network drive smooth as hell looking great

List of "good" apps

My list from a few other threads, but very relevant here since everyone is probably wondering what "app" to get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnAJoa0-ynONdGJiVDRSQ0p4VGtCaklESmtEbkJzNUE
edit: you guys can add to it ^_^
Great list, a few I couldn't live without:
Badass Battery, 4.7
Mobi Calculator, 4.8
FX File Explorer, 4.7
N7 Player, 4.7
Gtasks, 4.5
DIGI Clock Widget, 4.6
Palmary Weather, 4.5
GasBuddy, 4.6
YouAreHere, 4.7
Navfree, 3.8
Widgetsoid2, 4.6
I've found some of the widgets by this dev are excellent and he supports them very well if you mail him.
The Pure Grid calendar widget has options for tablet size widgets, multiple calendars, colour coding etc.
Also imho HDR Camera+ should be up there with ZoomFX
OP - amazing list!
That is a very clean and comprehensive list of apps you have OP. Thanks for posting... I am definitely going to try some of them out.

Here's my Android tablet list of "best of breed" apps:
GTasks - syncs with Google Notes, has reminders, great widgets. Augments my calendar for many things. Free.
Dark Knight - good tablet chess app. Free+no ads.
AndroXplorer - first-rate file explorer with CIFS support. Free (minor advert), but I bought Pro with my Play credit. Better than all the others I've tried and has proper tablet interface.
SuperSU - fine-grained control of root permissions. Free+no ads, Pro has some sweet features, bought it.
AdAway - prevents ads from even downloading. Probably the biggest performance booster you can get. Free, no ads. This is one of the killer apps that will hook you on Android.
System Tuner - you won't believe the crap that starts up automatically. Fix it with this free app (minor ads). Pro is worth it.
AnkiDroid - Can't believe it's free w/o ads. Flashcards app to study nearly anything, many study decks available. Better than the $25 Anki iPad app which I bought.
Cool Reader - ebook reader, lots of useful features. Free and ad-free.
Aldiko Pro - slick reader, works with most formats, worth the $3.
Apps I'd like but which don't work yet:
Moon+ Reader (incl Pro) is broken on Jelly Bean, doesn't show text. When it works I'll buy Pro again.
Encore Learning Platform - free, no-ads, flashcards app.
If I could have clicked the "Thanks" icon 10 times for supplying us with this great database I would have. But I couldn't so THANK YOU X 10!

So, for some reason I can only pull this doc up at work. Now my problem is I can see where it's seperated into sections, but the apps aren't organized into their respective sections, they are in alphabetical order. What am I doing wrong?

Apps you must install on N7!

I have been playing with my N7 for a few weeks now and have just rooted it ( after realizing my cable wasn't fully pushed in after an hour of banging my head on brick wall).
Forgetting Facebook, G+, Twitter & Games what are the must have apps that should be downloaded to show off the N7.
I am thinking wi-fi killa, Pulse and any other apps that are truly used daily and really have the wow factor on the N7.
Thanks in advance for all the help I have got before joining the site.

Whatsapp - Obviously this has to be side loaded but its so much better than on a phone!
... well, I've got an 8GB; so I figure that the most crucial apps to me would be the cloud ones (i.e., Google Drive @ 5GB free, SkyCloud @ 7GB free, Dropbox @ 3GB, and the pre-installed Google Play Music @ 20,000 songs free...)
As a perk, GrooVeIP Free (tablet to phone) is a true Wi-Fi Calling experience on top of the Google Voice app.

Because Gameloft tend not to optimise for Tegra 3 devices and most of their games are laggy. I've got a few Gameloft games and the main culprit of an unoptimized game is Amazing Spider-Man! Incredibly laggy. But some others work fine (for me at least), like Where's Wally Now, Asphalt Urban 7...
