i lose connection to Google Services a lot. it's pretty random. last night all downloads, even through the web browser ended in 'download unsuccessfull' instantly. then the icons went grey. this was on my Kindle Fire running ICS. i didn't check my phone but i expect this is just a common event. it is one reason i use email.apk instead of gmail, (also because it does all my accounts in one place, vs. having separate apps for yahoo, gmail, etc) and why i use other contact apps because i don't have to rely on Google Sync
EDIT: Disregard bug report. i got the play store working again...BTW even with 1/3 the apps i had before on my own ROM, i seem to be left with little over 15MB left. the low disk space icon can't be disabled, my SQlite trick doesn't work here. so now that bloody icon is up top and my sync is dead. i seem to have had half the internal storage i had before. good news? i can install apps below the 15MB threshold without the 'insufficient storage available' error.
quick suggestion, is there a way to incorporate the swipe-away notifications menu that is part of ICS in the notification area? i'm starting to get used to that on one of my tablets which runs the real ICS and having some of its features. i am not sure if that is possible but it would add to the authenticity. also, i added ICS Locker since it is more true-to-ICS IMO, also ICS Launcher too.
