Tablet UI? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I must be missing something simple here, but when I fake out the density in my build.props (eg 250 to act as 9", 226 for 10", etc...) I see individual apps start drawing in tablet mode (eg dual pane in Gmail). However, the overall system UI never switches out of "phablet mode". Has anybody successfully gotten their n7 flo into full tablet ui a la the n10? (no top status bar, etc...)

What you are referring to as "tablet UI" was depreciated awhile ago. What you have now is the tablet UI.

That.

You'll probably have to wait for Paranoid Android to update for the old-style tablet-UI to come back.
Really, the only thing I miss about that tablet UI is the placement of the software buttons. The rest of it isn't anything too fancy.

Or every single custom rom which supported it too. 4.3 shouldn't be too different to not have the same options we had previously.

This is phablet mode. Tablet UI will still be available on larger tabs. Hopefully someone will make a flashable mod for tablet UI soon. Or custom ROM yay

Ah, my bad - guess I've had my head stuck in custom roms cherry-picked from PA for too long
As far as Xposed, I just got sdk18 running via manual install via bits & pieces from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43923460&postcount=2249&nocache=1&z=526156020350754 and all of its various linked posts.
The one observation I had was that even though I was setting dp/res to 800x1280 in Xposed, to my eyes the actual appearance looks more like it's doing the math against 1200x1920. It's not a big deal, just my impression when I was coming up w/ dpi numbers for various apps.

Maybe I worded it wrong?
To me this is phablet mode because that is what it has always been called. Many people still like tablet UI so I doubt devs will stop supporting it on larger screens such as the nexus 7 or anything without hard back and home buttons really imho. Hopefully someone will make a flashable mod for tablet UI soon. Or custom ROM yay such as cm10.1 or carbon ROM or the 10 or 12 others that include it.
Does that clarify? God I love grumpy cat

I understand what you're trying to say. My point is that that "tablet mode" you speak of was deprecated with ICS. What you have on your Nexus 7 and the old Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10 IS the 'tablet UI' per Google. What you're talking about is a mod now.

Its a mod for sure. I suppose I see why you could make a case for calling it tablet UI but really since there is only 1 UI and not split its just the 4.3 UI plus that would get darn confusing to my bedrock brain cause its been called phablet mode on so many threads for so many of my tablets. I have been playing around with android a bit myself though Im just a noob but if someone doesn't work it out that is better than me I might dive in head first and probably blow up my garage in the process since I kinda love what I call tablet UI a lot. All in what you get used to probably.

Anybody else try the latest builds for the Xposed FW? I was going great but then chrome started crashing whenever I scrolled a page. Gmail did it occasionally, too - this happened whether or not I had customized those apps, or even bypassed the custom settings module completely. I restored to a nandroid from just before installing Xposed FW & all is well. Guess I'll stick to system-wide dpi changes for now; was just curious if anybody else had tried w/ success.

Okay i installed and reboot the tablet ui module but when i click on it it says it doesnt have a interface so how do i enable the tablet ui?

Um could be way wrong but changing DPI doesn't change into old school tablet mode. I think it goes by screen resolution and size and its might be tied to the launcher

This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, and indeed it's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank.
Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. i'm calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.

Cyanogenmod Team
Franko, for his Kernel
20120521v0.9beta: P.A.L., PROBABLY THE MOST AWESOME FEATURE EVER
First time in Android history that Per-App-Layout has been realized
Comes with a better panel
Allows you to switch between Phone mode (with curtain and bear paw buttons) and tablet UI seamlessly. PAD & PAL work in both domains. That means you can have 3d Youtube in 320 dpi standard Phone mode or mobile Chrome without those horrible tabs in 192 Dpi Tablet mode.
Since PAL solved all scaling issues our Trebuchet fork is now obsolete. It comes with Nova 1.1.4 projected into mobile layout.
20120517v0.6beta: Bugfixes, new PAD panel, Fullscreen-toggle
Fresh cm9 repo
Franco Milestone 3
Bugfixes for PAD preventing it from screwing up some apps (notification icons were bigger for some apps, launchers would display icons bigger or smaller, etc.)
New PAD panel, lists DPI's, can delete values again
Powermenu Fullscreen-toggle, this finally allows you to play games without navigationbar!
20120504v0.4preview: Apps were too small? Problem solved!
First ever Android ROM with Per-App-Density feature, it once and for all solves the problem that was tablet mode. You never, ever have to deal with apps that are too small again since now you can decide how apps, systemapps, framework-elements and even widgets are scaled by defining their native dpi seperately from the system DPI. Its an experimental feature and for now these values are defined in your /system/build.prop - it has drawbacks (maily notifications can look a bit strange), but that will be fixed in time. Warning: Keyboards MUST run in system DPI!
A list of apps and predefined values is included, this should include most of what you need. everything else is blown up to 210 dpi per standard. if you still need apps to be bigger, get a build.prop editor from the market, edit and reboot.
Trebuchet fixes: Folder Name cut-off, landscape name cut-off, divider bars
Please set your Font to "Normal" in the System Settings, you won't need "Huge" anymore and all this does now is provoke overlapping.
20120430v0.3alpha:
Freshest CM9 Repo
Forked Trebuchet and rewrote its layout and parts of its code to adapt it to tablet mode. I went for stock look plus tablet controls and changed the number of icons/widgets shown in the drawer. It's butter-smooth aswell. It has kinks left, those will be solved in the coming days!
100% fixed android standard keyboard
Better Bootanimation
Fixed Gapps package based on 20120429 including Gmail and a working Market
20120427v0.2pre-alpha-gapps:
Fixed Gapps package based on 20120422 including Gmail and a working Market
20120427v0.2pre-alpha:
PARANOIDANDROID custom bootanimation, still has some kinks - first sketch though
crystall clear thumbnails in the recents window, pixel mush no more!
brightness setting easier accessable
ICS toggle button fixes
20120425v0.1pre-alpha:
freshest CM9/nightly repo build (25/04)
recents window way nicer than before. close to stock. i only need to get rid of that darn gradient
keyboard looks like stock now
new bootanimation
camera works
comes with cm9 repo kernel, no color tint
notification clock is smaller, won't overlap so easy
20120425v0.0pre-alpha:
freshest CM9/nightly repo build set to tablet mode
Hacked Nova. I know 1.1 is out, but this one is still closer to stock
Androids keyboard reacts hellish in tablet mode. I fixed it but its still too large, tomorrow i'll fix it proper
I was trying make to recents window look more like stock. COULD be the thumbnails are a tad bigger than before but i'll get to that don't worry
2 notifications icons max in portrait for now to prevent overlapping
Settings comes as the first item in the notification panel, hated to scroll down every time
ALOT will follow, please be patient, i made all that stuff blind because it needed ~13 hours to compile. now compiling is alot faster and i'll see to it that we will have true hybrid mode very soon
im currently uploading a test version for you guys, i cannot guarantee that it'll work, im doing it blindly as i have maguro. if you dont wanna put yourself into a risky position, do not flash. although it really should be fine.
This looks epic

please report back if its working, if not i have to take away the link and try something else. thanks!
This looks pretty crazy, I definitely want to check this out, probably wait until I hear something/anything though.

This does look nice.. I'll have to do a how to install and review video
does that mean it works? coz that would be super!
About to flash will report back in a few.
Thank you for working on this/ bringing it to us
Edit: It works xD
And BTW The Bootani is awesome haha
Looks awesome, I've been running tablet mode (the other way) since last night and have noticed some likes and dislikes.
I love the all in one bar at the bottom but don't like the button sizing in some of the apps and other places and I like how the settings menu and gmail are split like a tablet
Might try to flash this when I get home to see how it compares
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
yeah i know what you mean. i've done that before and tablet really has alot of kinks. thats why i grasped the idea to do something about it. im only sitting on it for four days unfortunately so many things need more work. but heres a list so you know what to expect
screwed launcher: partially fixed
screwed phone, incall crashes: fixed, needs layout fixes aswell to look better
market incompatibility: fixed 100%
overlapping clock: fixed
overlapping notification icons: fixed
ugly as heck recents window: partially fixed
screwed android keyboard: fixed 100%
UI elements are too small: soon
apps are too small: i can make some hacks, but i'll look into a more general solution like per app dpi. no idea though if i can pull it off

Any interest in having this Rom ported over? I have no clue how to do it but would love to see it ported over as it is and or ported over with AOKP as the base.

Haven't really gotten into the tablet roms much but this one looks SICK!
I'd definitely rock this.
HyDra Rom looks pretty much the same except for some theming and the wallpaper maybe check it out
Yeah u gotta love that dpi per app feature and evidently it is being worked on for the galaxy s2, which I am guessing is the international variant. And I do like the hydra rom. Just not that Mega blue theme. Lol I'm sure I could apply a different theme but I'd prob end up breaking something but hopefully someone will port this to our device. Looks good

just need two things
1. cyanogenmod or any stable aosp rom. aokp does not test their tab related code and you get a whole bunch of broken things that come with it, its not a good base for paranoidandroid. cm works out of the box.
2. a dev whos willing to port paranoidandroid and help us making the hybrid features better.

as far as i can tell its plain tablet mode. paranoid is hybrid mode. we do drop systemUI into tabmode, but do our best to not trash your device by doing so. you'll get stock look on most of your apps, can even decide if bigger or smaller.

th feature we're working on right now is called per-app-layout, you decide if your apps dress in mobile or tab dress, all without reboot:
we forked trebuchet from source and optimized it to run in that mode, its the best possible launcher for tablet mode
hacked a whole bunch of apps that normally crash on you or give you problems: market works 100%, keyboard doesnt stretch, gtalk doesnt stretch, etc. in short, this entire rom is made to support you in that mode because we know it gives you hell normally. in that its very different from tablet mode roms.
Yes the per app dpi is what makes it stand out than just a normal hybrid tablet ui mod. No need to deal with small fonts. No need to select large fonts. So this is not the same as Hydra as some seem to think.

Paranoid Android and ICSorcery are what my girl runs on her Verizon Ynez. They are simply beautiful works. I worry how they would work on the e4gt without kernel source, though.
I've ported this before everything worked except for the keyboard. I know that I'm cooking up something tonight with a fresh start. I'm pretty sure I can get the keyboard to work this time.

}
Work in Progress
Before you go any further, 4.2 still has a quite a few bugs that need to be resolved by Google.
Please make sure you have backups for anything you don't want to lose.
Google apps are not official, this is a community hack, we have tested all apps but you could still encounter issues.
This is still a work in progress. we are working hard to tame 4.2, which brought significant changes and bugs.
Do not ask about CyanogenMod features. We will add more features in version 3.x, when we have a 100% stable base.
Installation
Update your recovery to the latest version. Pre 4.2 recoveries can mess up your sd card/storage. We recommend TWRP.
Download pa google apps: http://d-h.st/Do8 Updated 15-JUL-2013
Download rom: http://d-h.st/N7z Updated 18-JUL-2013
Follow PA on Google+ for changes and other info
Perform a factory reset in recovery, unless you are already on PA 2.99+
Flash ROM first, then gapps
Wipe dalvik & cache
Reboot and wait, first bootup can take up to 5 minutes, it will also restart once
Enter your Google account info, press home when you encounter the black screen
After the quirky bootup (thanks to aosp) is over, the rom should work normally
Do not restore system apps, system data and Google apps. This can cause bootloops and other problems due to mismatches from CM to AOSP and Android version 4.1.2 to 4.2.x
Previous jellybean versions: toroplus
Features
Hybrid engine ported, Per App DPI and Per App Layout
Tablet UI back from the dead
Per app color
Quicksettings -> Quicktoggles (first draft, more to follow)
New recents implementation
We fixed the aosp lag in the recents view, well, most of it
New SystemUI Icons that can cope with transparent bars, thanks go to John Xionidis
See through Lockscreen is back
Transparent bars + Launcher2 modified to cope with it
4.2 Walls and Sounds
Google stock apps
Extended Desktop
PER-APP-DPI/LAYOUT
This is not tablet mode! Hybrid engine allows you to target apps individually. You get to pick their actual layouts which can tranform content drastically. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with build.prop hacks or DPI changes. We list all layouts an app brings, you choose one, its as easy as that. It does not matter if your device runs itself in Phone-, Phablet or Tablet-UI, your apps will always look as you like. On top of that you can scale apps, to fit your screen, that way you can even bring full fledged tablet apps and make them run perfectly. Nothing will break, nothing will shrink, your market will be fine. Additionally we have rewritten many parts of the android framework and fixed countless of AOSP bugs to make way for these modifications - our "tablet mode" runs better on a phone than on a real tablet, that is guaranteed.
PER-APP-COLOR
ParanoidAndroid's newest invention. Define apps in your regular hybrid panel. See your phone fade into the color definition of your current app, press home or go elsewhere and it fades back. Create as many combinations you like, you can even dabble with opacity. This feature is made possible by our hybrid engine, which is unique to this rom.

pa-toroplus-1.97-06AUG2012-173410
New option: "large" to trick an app thinking the device has a real big screen. some need it, like amazon kindle to jump into tabUI. some even react on it, gdrive will slightly adapt its layout - makes only sense if you give it a small dpi though.
The algorithm to extract the actual layout containers from apk files works more precise and can reveal more than before. there will still be a few apps left who do that layout stuff in java - we will add an override button for that, but in the meantime you can edit /system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf .layout=360 for phone-like UI, 600 for phablet, 720 = tablet, 1280 = super huge tablet
Several bugfixes from us and cm

New Hybrid code, keyboard troubles should be gone, apps that crop images or display weird, that should be gone aswell
PAD/PAL work in phonemode 100%, no weird toggles and stuff like that. you get full tablet apps without caveats
Settings cleanup, most of the garbage dpi options are gone, should be more intuitive - i ask you to not bring your old pad.props though some things changed. if you know what you do take a look and edit by hand
Trashed our LatinIME repo - not needed anymore

You know what annoys me about this ROM? All the customizability! I am spending a lot of time getting everything where I like it and I love it. Noticed on other ROMs that allow me to hide the nav buttons that most games would screw up their orientation when I did hide the nav buttons so it was largely an unusable feature. But not on Paranoid! Really nice to play Max Payne is FULL full screen And again, thanks for sticking with the CM kernel.
EDIT: Only feature I yearn for is the ability to disable lock screen rotation.
Nice, getting this now. This is a great rom.
do we insatal the hybrid or the 201205211 gapps or both ?, also any ideas when horizontal cali might be fixed / added?

Hybrid.
Anyone know how to scale the lock screen? A couple of my shortcuts are cut off at the bottom. Its not a huge deal, only cosmetic but I'd like to get it right if I could.
Edit...
Nevermind, I figured it out. I just needed to adjust the framework dpi.

Real Multiwindow mode?

Is there a way to enable MultiWindow apps like we can on the Note 10.1? I mean real windows, like the cascading type.
Its really an awesome feature, and for some reason I thought the Note 2 would have the same thing since it came out first and advertised Multitasking so much, but then I buy it and it has this silly window sliding thing that can only run 2 apps like cornerstone did.
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the phone, I just thought it should have had this from the beginning?
Could there be some dpi mod or tablet mode modification that could enable this feature?
Here is a screen shot of how it works on the Note 10.1

Thank you for the link.
I don't really need it anymore since I switched to more AOSP 4.2.2 roms.
I just wanted to have the info out there if someone else needed it.
Why would you switch to AOSP, out of interest? :/ If you can't stand touchwiz, use project AOSP, have you tried that?
As for multiwindow, probably owing to the smaller screen size IMO. Still yeah, I prefer windows - at least would've nice if they'd left the option for us to choose

Nice, I didn't realize there was such a good looking themed TW rom like this. I will give this a try, there are a few things I miss from TW.
Thanks for the info.
And yes that was one of the main reason I switched, Touch Wiz is hideous and I got tired of trying to theme it and themes being half broken.
But now that I switched AOSP just feels like a breath of fresh air, nice ui for multi density configurations, less ram usage at boot, 4.2.2 lockscreens and widgets, a nice navbar (I disable my hardware keys). CM Theming engine. AOKP/PA/CM10 features.
And whole bunch of other little things I'm forgetting.
And soon we may be getting some Window Management.
Yeah multi DPI + 4.2.2 lockscreen widgets is definitely cool. That said, battery life is sub par on almost all AOSP roms, and you miss a hell lot of touchwiz features. IF it's mainly the touchwiz layout, Project AOSP should pretty much fix that for ya as I was on the same boat as yourself before

Its not so bad tbh. I'm using Slimbean 4.2.2 atm and I get screen on time of about 5-6hours almost the same as most of the touchwiz ROMs here. With aosp it just feels lighter and changing dpi without worrying about broken layout, incompatibility, etc is no longer. Even if battery performance is slightly lowered its still worth it. At least you don't have to pay anything for a complete customization as oppose to Simplistic framework that you need to buy in order to have that ease in customizing touchwiz ROMs.

I get 6 hours at worst and mostly around 7-8 hours on average. Oh and I get almost everything without simplistic on Project AOSP, but bought it anyways to get the full AOSP look. What incompatibility issues are you talking about?
I see no point in missing out on Touchwiz features and my favorite kernel Perseus (including, but not limited to the color calibrations and enhanced video playback) for those. I love AOSP on my Nexus 7, and have PA on it, but highly unlikely that I'd put on an AOSP rom on Note II.
If you really like it, good for you then

Well you see ive developed a habit of always reducing the DPI to around 240 and ive gotten use to it, and i like to heavily theme the rom. On the Sammy based roms, when applying a flash-able touchwiz theme and reducing the DPI through Build.prop editor/ xposed fw, the theme is suddenly absent in some parts of the UI such as the power menu. You need to download a theme thats been modified to work for a lower DPI. Basically the problem is it feels bloated after flashing so many different mods to get the result i want, whereas, on the aosp its all there and centralized into the Settings menu.
I cant help but think why the huge difference in size between an aosp and Samsung stock rom. My slimbean rom is only about 200-300MB with gapps and extras whereas the stock rom is around 1 - 1.2GB.

Well if you're that into modifying DPI, then yeah. As for bloat, you could choose which samsung apps to install while setup, so no biggie for me

[GUIDE] Dual-Pane/Tablet Layout On Just About Any ROM/App

(Above is basically a clean CM10 rom with dual pane in Settings)
Recently discovered after finding and using azoller's CM10.1 Fusion ROM for a day or two.
This method involves using Xposed Framework and basically requires installing 2 apks, then changing some settings for it to take effect.
NOTE: None of this will affect your notifications bar or navbar, it just changes resolutions/layouts, except you can make specific apps fullscreen if you want.
1. Install this apk (from the main thread), click Install/Update, and reboot.
2. Install this apk (a module/add on for dpi/resolution change) and reboot a second time.
3. Go into Xposed App Settings which is the 2nd app installed, and any app that has Screen (dp,px) set to 800x1200 will act as if it were a tablet app. This includes Settings, YouTube, anything that looks different with a tablet.
If any graphics are too big/small, you can change the DPI, but 160-190 is pretty good most of the time. It's pretty simple and mostly cool, and should work on just about any rom.
The attached screenshots show my settings for the Android Settings to have a dual pane and some examples of YouTube looking more expanded than usual.
Again, none of this is my doing, I just figured it out recently and thought a simple step by step would be nice for people who haven't tried it yet and/or aren't running stuff like AOKP and ParanoidAndroid (built in tablet UI roms).
thanks for your tutorial, it works.but we can't get a full working Tablet UI here. the status bar and notification are still on top even though I set the "Launcher" screen to 1280x800. also we need to set the app one by one in order to enable the tablet layout, there is no way to adjust the whole apps by a single setting.

Sorry, maybe I should've had a step 0 where it says to read the thread.
NOTE: None of this will affect your notifications bar or navbar, it just changes resolutions/layouts, except you can make specific apps fullscreen if you want.
It says that right above the instructions, none of my screenshots show a tablet UI, and I specifically talked about resolution and layout instead of the notification/navbar UI.
Hmmmm. Is the tablet UI just like it is on PA?

The screenshots show what it does, and it doesn't change the notifications/navbar. Just like I told the other guy, it's pointed out in the NOTE above the instructions, and my OP isn't even that long to begin with...
This is for people like me who like dual-pane mode and tablet-ized apps, but who also don't like the whole tablet UI on the bottom. It's basically a tablet layout with phablet notifications/navbar, like how ParanoidAndroid can do by itself in Phablet mode, but it works across most roms and that's the benefit really.
You're right. Really sorry, I missed to read that part.
BTW, when I used PA and I choose phone mode, I was able to make the layout of opera mini the same as it appears on my phone (the navigation buttons located in the bottom). Here, I tried to change the setting of opera mini, but the app layout didn't change at all. Is it possible to simulate the phone mode (layout) for opera mini using those software? I need this because it's more convenient to have the buttons on the bottom when we're in portrait mode.

First thanks to the op for pointing me in the right direction. With this app, i was finally able to get opera mini phone layout (navigation bar on the button) on nexus 7 running CM10.1
Under settings for opera mini, i just increased the dpi to 600 and resolution to 800x1280 and voila ?

Might be a stupid question but will this affect OTA's/manual install of updates??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
So, uh, will this work with stock ROM? (not indexed/deodexed, etc.)
Thanks for sharing the specific resolution settings. It would be nice to keep DPI for large text, and just have dual pane fit like a tablet app

You can change the text size with xposed app settings. Its next to dpi
The xposed framework has been a lifesaver especially since paranoid android has been a buggy mess since it went vanilla aosp instead of cm based. AOKP plus xposed app settings is rock solid and stable.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Its exactly what I've been looking for.
