over at rootzwiki i just learned that ICS can go into tablet mode, so i did switch and i find it perfectly usable. some apps are even more useful than before like settings, mail, etc.

my only gripe right now is the launcher, it wastes space. i use nova with a 7x7 grid but in portrait mode its too small and in landscape mode i'd like to have more icons in the app-drawer.

does anyone know which launcher will do better? also, is it possible to get back stock launcher2? im on aokp b27 and it had trebuchet (which crashes) and nova.

thanks! :)

ps. for those who don't know it yet, try it out:

0. make a nandroid. should your launcher crash you are screwed

1. get latest aokp

2. change dpi to 190 in rom control

3. add hide-navbar option in powermenu

4. press powerbutton and hide navbar

5. reboot

trouble-shooting:

market trouble can be resolved by following the steps indicated in the AOKP dpi changer. i still had to manually delete its cache and data plus force close it until it finally shut up and let me download.

phone.apk will likely crash. it can be fixed be exchanging it with the one from AOKP's droid incredible build: http://www.file-upload.net/download-4168356/Phone.apk.html

i used adb, can also be done via root-browser i guess

ADW Launcher Ex works fine...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
looks like what i needed, thanks!!! will now download and try :)

btw, i had problems using the phone app, it crashed. i read pushing the Phone.apk from aokp droid incredible build into /system/app works. and it did. now it runs perfectly, no fc's, no crashes. i uploaded it here in case anyone needs it: http://www.file-upload.net/download-4168356/Phone.apk.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea I was going to say, ADW is my choice for my 10" Tablet.

My Setup:

Hide Dock Bar

Hide Status Bar (top part with App Drawer and redundant menu icon)

Hide Desktop Icon Text

Create a Drawer Icon coupled with whatever desktop icons.

Crank up the desktop Row/Column

This gives you a pretty large work area that is edge to edge. I don't use the dock bar but rather hide it and place my own icons. This removes the restriction of a 5 icon dock.

However I've never done this on my Nexus so I don't know how small the icons would be.

Hiding the statusbar is tricky because it doesn't work via the options checkbox. You have to create a gesture to hide/show statusbar. Go to the desktop and perform the gesture to hide it. Then go back into settings and delete the gesture. Now you'll gain access to the top bar.

With the Status bar gone, you access ADW Settings via the App Drawer like other ICS launchers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
why hiding the navbar? it's only initially since tablet mode brings its own, and i really like it so far. i find it more useful than the one in stock ICS even.

i installed adw and sadly i really don't like it so far. it feels like gingerbread and i hate having to theme ICS when im on ICS. but function-wise i got tiny icons in portrait mode and they seem to behave kinda strange. for now i got nova back, wastes space but i find it optically more appealing.

what i search would be a launcher that can stretch icons. i'd like it to behave just as before, if i use a 4x4 grid it would be cool if it could use the entire screen and not just a tiny fraction. nova comes close using a 7x7 grid but 49 tiny icons look kind of cluttered - not really nice for a homescreen.

btw, look how youtube reacted to tablet mode, never used a tablet or owned one, so my jaw pretty much dropped when i saw it running. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
APEX launcher does the job. uses 100% screenspace and icons are big enough. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Also, check out Go launcher Ex. Make the icons larger in the settings menu. I manual set them to 80 and they look great. I also remove the top bar in the launchers setting menu. Set the screen to 6x6 and it looks perfect. Of course running an ICS theme but I don't mind a theme when I am actually on ICS. it is when you are on GB running an ICS theme that makes it feel cheesy!

I wish we could run the density in 160 but it seems like no phone.apk will run in that density. While running in 190 you need to use a modded market but it still seems like the market causes issues with certain apps while trying to download them. 160 would be native so we wouldn't need a modded market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i still know it from my gf's phone, but must say i never liked it much. i guess im pretty happy now with apex in tablet mode, looks almost stock without the dpi changes, as it should. if i had the 5-button dock back and the notification-curtain (don't like they way they implemented that for tablets, it sucks) yeah it would be perfection but that can't be done unless the rom gets rewritten. im using it now daily, can live with small kinks and the new gapps/settings more than make up for it - would never ever want to revert to old mail/youtube/contacts/callendar, etc. :)

btw, are there rom's out there making dedicated use of it? i guess could care less about the newest tweak that gives me 5 minutes more battery power. but something that transforms the entire UI/IX into something more useful...

Go Launcher HD is made for tablets. I haven't tested it, but you can get a beta on their site.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Man that thanks button is in a bad spot. You just got a freebee.

That launder does not work with the densities that we can use. It does work at 160 in portrait but not landscape.

Wish someone implemented this as a stable and full functioning ROM..

Worked well with AOKP until it went into airplane mode and never got out. I then rebooted and my cellular data was gone all together. Guess it really thought it was a tablet.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Good call on Apex Launcher, looks good:

Yeah, data seems to be a little weird. I downloaded a file then it just stopped and wouldn't connect again and I couldn't make a call either. It was still showing full bars and 4G though. A reboot fixes it. I was running Franco's kernel so thought maybe it had something to do with that so I am back on stock kernel and going to see how it behaves. I so don't want to give this up. It it pure awesomenes!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
thats terrible, i better make a nandroid before i try it. a custom rom would be great though, im getting really tired fixing this up.

the thing is, i really dislike the new tablet notification center, and the launcher. i wish it would behave just like before, if it could perhaps be tricked into ignoring the fake dpi. and i reaalllyy miss the notification curtain and the dock-bar. i tried hours to find some replacement for the old dock, the only thing that came close was desktop visualizr from the market, it creates resizable launcherbuttons with or without label and let's you set icons/images.

i love the new apps and settings, but the homescreen looks kinda long and dorky. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yea at least it fills up the screen, nova wouldn't. would be great through if it could do 5x4 icons + dock, everything in normal size, like before. :)

btw, your widgets look nice, could you share their names?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Let me know if data is still a problem after reverting back to stock because I'm currently on Franco's kernel, also.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:

So far so good on stock kernel after a few hours. Will continue to test.

Edit...Data just stopped working with stock kernel. That really sucks! 4G still shows and so does the data arrows but no data works...

guys, i modded apexlauncher with apktool. made some changes in dalvik code to trick it into getting back the old dpi and brought back the dock through changes in the res files. icons are back to normal size aswell. it craps its pants though when it goes to landscape and the appdrawer shows only half of the screen, definitively needs more work. if someone could help with this i'd really appreciate it.

ok so this is really cool! when i change my denisity to 160 or 190 it boots and i have the tablet mode! BUT then my system UI crashes and i losse my navi bar! could it be because i the PCB theme?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Your systemUI crashed because of the navigation bar. You remove it in ROM Control.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i asked dennisxl, the creator of apexlauncher, if he could include a dpi setting that would allow his launcher to withstand build.prop density changes. i hope he says yes or allows modifications. if not, i guess i'll set up a build environment and rewrite launcher2 oder trebuchet. one thing is for sure, tablet mode is great, but it makes no sense without a launcher that fits the dimensions of the phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Apex Launcher fits the dimensions of the phone. You just need to add more rows to the screen. The only thing I find that does not use the entire screen is the app drawer but not really a big deal as I don't spend much time in the app drawer anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
I actually like how tablets handle notification more than how our phones normally do. Instead of dragging down the status bar, I'd much rather tap on the bottom area. More so because constantly reaching for the top of the phone gets tiresome.

Secondly, tablets allow you to tap on the notification the instant you get it to launch into the app. This I absolutely love and should be a feature for our phones. I hate seeing a notification when I'm using my phone and having to pull down that damn bar (I think you get where my attitude lies in regards to the top bar ;)) in order to respond to it.

In regards to the mod, how did you gets get over the distorted keyboard? Using a 3rd party one?

Oh and I think a thread should be made in the Themes and Apps forum. It will be seen more there and a lively discussion will help with making this mod more capable to use overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
must say i don't like it like that, it clutters the screen with a whole bunch of icons. on a tablet it sure works, but on a phone it looks odd to me, also i miss the dockbar. try the mod with a 5x4 grid, i think it makes a difference. :)

portrait works nicely now, automatic mode still throws it off though. im still having problems with app drawer, i have yet no idea which res file is responsible for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
the tapping worked also before, just tried it with my gf's s2 on ICS. tapping opens the app. i somehow like the curtain, the tablet thing could be nice but as it is in aokp its still clunky and unresponsive. i made a swipe-up gesture in apex to bring it up without trouble, works neat.

im not using a standard keyboard, im using swype-beta, it has no problems. if you need the android one i guess it can be modded pretty easily to fit the design. i take a quick look, maybe i find something ...

and yeah, i think in the beginning i had just a question about launchers but it quickly evolved into something more. new forum and new title would be pretty cool but im new to xda and i have no idea where and how. if you could ask the right person who administrates these matters i'd appreciate it. :)

btw, anyone tried the camera?? how cool is that! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i modified latinIME:apk and for a second or so it displays correctly ...and then crashes. i only changed a single line in values.xml, it compiled without errors. no idea what's wrong. :confused: sorry, i guess just use another keyboard for now. i never use the standard one so i dont want to invest too much time in this but if you want to try, here's a working build environment for windows pc:

https://rapidshare.com/files/3134466816/projects.rar

steps:

1. copy your apk and the framework-res.apk from your rom into the tool-folder. on your phone you find it in /system/framework

2. start a console and navigate to tool-folder

3. type: apkf // this will install the framework

4. type: apkd YourApp // decompiles your app. no .apk needed, just the name

5. modify

6. type: apkb YourApp // compiles everything back into an apk. you find it under YourApp/dist/YourApp.apk + YourApp-signed.apk (signed with apksign, which is a must)

copy it onto your phone, needs adb which can be downloaded from google, its part of the android sdk:

1. connect your phone via usb

2. type: adb mount

3. type: adb push YourApp/dist/YourApp-signed.app /system/app/YourApp.apk

If you're still running stock, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Doesn't replacing any component of your ROM kill OTAs (kernel, recovery, image etc.), or so I hear... If it does, then no, all you'd have to do to keep OTA capability is to remove CWM by flashing the stock recovery. You can still keep root though (depending on whether the OTA breaks your root).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Clockwordmod kills it. It may download but without the stock recovery it has no way to be flashed.
