actually just download this http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip

  add the required app(s) to system/apps like you have done already.. reboot and should be good to go...

 

I grabbed the 0429 the other day and just gave that a try. The Talk.apk works for chat. But, I had to install the videochat and speex libs from system/lib to get video and audio to work (lib/libspeexwrapper.so , lib/libvideochat_jni.so , and libvideochat_stabilize.so ). Does the 0317 work for you straight out?

For me, I used ConnectBot to get a local terminal ..

0) su

1) remount system ( mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/nandd /system ). You can see all the mounts by just typing mount.

2) change permissions ( chmod 777 /system/app and chmod 777 /system/lib )

3) use ES file explorer to copy the .apk and lib files ( because ICS doesn't have the cp command  and I didn't want to type a cat a bunch of times )

4) change owner to root for files ( chown root.root /system/app/* and chown root.root /system/lib/* )

5) clear out the app data from system for Google Account Manager, Google Partner Setup, and Google Play Store.

6) reboot

For Talk I needed to use headphones, because with the mic right on the speaker it couldn't keep up with feedback. Headphones solved that.

Please do update arctools for the 7 G3 (including Talk, GMail, and Maps). That would be awesome!

busybox cp 

should do it 

Cheers.

Gah. That shortens what I needed to do.

0) su

1)  mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/nandd /system

2) busybox cp [apkLocation]/*.apk   /system/app/   and   busybox cp [libLocation]/*.so   /system/lib/

4) chmod 644 /system/app/*   and    chmod 644 /system/lib/*

Interesting that they are using ext4 as the filesystem. Probably could put all the files in the right order and use "busybox tar" to preserve permissions and get a binary blob that has what is needed. And untar them to the right spots. How safe are the goo.im directory trees? Could just grab the entire system directory of one of those and dump it on a 7 G3.

Just got done talking with my son over GTalk (I'm at work and he is at home). Video and audio get a bit out of sync, but it looks good. Thanks for the help getting this to work.

I really can't imagine how much nice $100 tablets will change the education and game market. Pair it with open education like http://www.myopenmath.com/ and free textbooks ... wow. A calculus text costs $150 in comparison.
