the shrunk icons in the drawer are better for me. More icons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HBSN11:
Hey guys. Everything is working well with the tablet mode. But for some reason the clock app is force closing. Is this happening to anyone else? I am on AOKP 30 with Apex Launcher if that means anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chino0131:
Did you go into recovery and wipe cache and davlik? If not, try that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prking07:
Can youtube,gmail,email apps etc. be tricked the same way? I mean for people that dont want minature fonts everywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
well, you have the apk so you can pretty much do to it whatever you want - but it's some effort and each update would trash it i guess. 192 is still readable and in the settings you can try the huge fonts settings. for now i see no other way at least. :o

edit:

i tried it and it works fine, settings / display / font size = large/huge

it works for all apps. apps that didn't handle the new dpi so well like skype are perfectly readable.

unfortunately the apex-hack doesnt like it too much. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
No dock on a ICS tablet is normal. I just searched to see what ICS looked like on the Xoom and it does not have a dock either. So it is not like something doesn't work right with the launchers, tablets for ICS just don't use a dock like the phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
didn't say it's a bug. but the galaxy nexus is not a tablet, it's a phone, and it should be usable as such. now in my opinion some changes really work well, and some others don't, like the launcher that goes full throttle into tablet mode, disregarding the phones aesthetics.

i hope this thing here works out in such a way that we can actually cherrypick the good and exclude the bad stuff, make phone/tablet hybrid into something stable and useful. i just felt it needed some attention and care as it is not perfect by lengths. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Now running this at 182 dpi. Anything lower and phone.apk craps out. I'm running it that low because I find the texts below each icon in the app draw display better, this is with font set to large. At 192 some of the texts were cut off... this looks better imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i noticed it aswell, it sucks. it can be fixed though, maybe this evening i'll do it, maybe i can get landscape to work, too. do you know how to use apktool? maybe we could swap changes, like what XanSama did. nicest solution would be to fork trebuchet though, and if someone has the knowledge to pull it off, man that would be great.

Too bad this doesnt work on CM9 for devices that dont have ICS available. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
works well, for the most part. GTalk is pretty much unusable in portrait at 192. Anyway to trick it to using the normal phone density ux?

FYI, the Apex launcher in the market works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I can't get my nav bar to be displayed... I'm running Axi0m from RootzWiki which is AOKP. It has majority of the options discussed here with changing the DPI, clearing market cache, and all sorts of tweaks... One step I'm stuck at is "hiding the nav bar" which in the OP says it's under Power Settings, which is false. That option enables the navigational controls in the Power Menu (which saved me when trying this).

Basically when I change my DPI, I don't have a status bar (normal) nor a navigation bar and I think it's throwing everything off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
OP is talking about the ROM AOKP which has the ability to hide nav bar in the power settings.

Your GN is no longer a phone once it becomes a tablet! lol

Anyway, I don't mind no dockbar. I just set one up myself at the bottom. I do like your mod though. Well done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
are u saying market-apex has a dock and can display 5x4 grids without icons getting too tiny? it would be great!!! :D

lol, yeah i guess. btw, i used nova for a while and i did like you say, faking the hotseat by putting icons down there. but they weren't persistent of course and switching from screen to screen would swap or wipe them out. i think i really like what the google design team has done with ics, well i love it, i'd try to come as close as i can. im seeing using nexus as a standard tablet more as a novelty, but nothing i'd personally prefer daily. but as a hybrid ... totally dig it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P4rtyboy:
Does anyone have an alternative link to this? i cant seem to get this to work.. thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
Thanks OP for sharing. I installed this myself; I think the text will def be too small for some people (even when increasing font to "Huge").

Click the little green arrow (has download w/ white background on the right)? Don't click those other download links; they're just ads. Took me a second to figure out.

Edit: Is there anyway to get pattern unlock/pin unlock larger? On the lockscreen it's pretty small.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i think it should work, on cm9 and on any device applicable.

this is a piece of code in ICS which decides if tablet or not:

int shortSizeDp = shortSize * DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEVICE;
mStatusBarCanHide = shortSizeDp < 600;

full description here: http://baroqueworksdev.blogspot.com/2012/01/phone-mode-or-tablet-mode-in-ice-cream.html

nexus has a width of 720 and a density of 320. shortSizeDp = 720 * 160 / 320 = 360. lower than 600, phone mode.

now put the dpi to magic number 192. shortSizeDp = 720 * 160 / 192 = 600. tadaaa, tablet mode.

just imagine how ridiculously low you have to go on a s2 for instance to reach 600. if im not mistaken that should be 480 x 160 / 128, that's 128 dpi(!!!), it would surely drop into tablet mode, but it would become unusable. i have tried to put mine to 160 once, texts shrunk to mush and buttons became so tiny that i couldn't press them. yet, a nexus can still handle 192, setting a large fontsize in the display-settings helps, though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I figured it out eventually. I updated the Axi0m rom while performing a FULL wipe. I then flashed [Tablet Mod] Here

First boot and I had everything in order. The stock launcher hates it, but I used ADW and maxed out the icon size to 175. Did a few little changes to the ADW settings (standard tablet setup) and alias!

Just need to get rid of the MENU bar at the top of the launcher (its only on the launcher and drawer). Now that I have a working setup, I will try to uninstall the stock Apex launcher manually and install the custom one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Wow, That launcher is a mess in tablet mode, the dock is total mush. Try the apex hack and see if it's better. Just Follow the instruction on page one and make sure you're not using auto grid. adb is included in the Android sdk, if you need help write back. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
Does anyone know a way to get pattern unlock on lockscreen larger?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HBSN11:
Yea I did. Its still crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Couple issues, no menu button in xda app, so I have to use menu button from power menu. Not a huge deal.

Any way to disable the dock? Couldn't find the option to in nova settings. Also, any way to get default ics keyboard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
I'd also like to know, mine looks the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sureal:
running cm9 nightlies directly from cyanogen, with franco kernel nightlies, unable to change font size, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
it must be some strange cache quirk, mine looks perfectly alright. :confused: try rotating your phone to landscape and back and see if that does anything, or play around with the margins and let it re-calculate. if nothing works i probably screwed up. its weird though i just installed aokp 31, pushed the apks, wiped caches and all was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
changing font size is something you even get under stock so i dont think cm would prevent you from changing it. maybe they reallocated the setting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xOneSainTx:
Keyboard

I use AOKP 31 last time I flashed tablet mode the keyboard was really off and weird. Has this been fix? Sorry if its been answered.

Nav bar

Is it absolutely necessary to hide the navigation bar?? Plus if I were to hide the nav bar, lets say I were to reflash AOKP the nav bar would return once again correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kipue:
Woot, thanks a lot :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
I like the concept behind this, but the things are too small to use :( even with huge font and "large font" in accessibility, its too small.

I'll try again later on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sureal:
ha haaa, figured out how to get dock to look right, you have to go back to normal 320 density, and turn menu back on, go back to nova launcher and set the dock margins to none, then change back to tablet mode and the dock looks right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sureal:
now the question is, is there anyway to make the overall system font larger
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Motasap17:
people try "360 launcher", look fit it on Android development on this forum... It looks, different lol

Just a suggestion.

The icons on the app drawer are too small, and the wallpaper don't fit right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoCalSpecialist:
is this Tablet Mod better than the other one floating around?

the other makes everything a bit too small for my fingers..so although it may look badass...not really something i can mess with
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
a bazillion times even. ;) swype beta. better keyboard, perfect sizing in tablet mode.

yes, you need to or otherwise your system.ui will crash. if you reflash aokp youre back to normal, but you can always go back with a button flick anyway, its a setting in aokp.

thanks man

its getting pretty small thats true but i can live with it. the thing is, going back to normal its getting very big and that i find worse to be honest. using that crappy gmail with one column or navigating through these ridiculous settings - no way man.

great! but what is meant with turning menu back on. sorry i had a rough night, maybe its that. :p

i've used it for the op, but i hope its getting easier in time. its weird coz it just worked here right away, i have no idea why it screws up on other peoples phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeathMetal_i9000:
Really appreciate this mod and also like how it works, but I have problems with the market / play store. Although I'm using the vending.apk from OP on my Nexus it only shows 36 from formerly 75 installed apps to me and I can't even update them (Box and Titanium Backup should be ready for an update). And yes, wiped cache / dalvik and cleared market data of course.

Is there a fix for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
try the whole package, rotate to landscape, define a new grid, re-set the margins, do this, do that. at some point it has to disregard its caches and create new ones. im still trying to figure out what sets it off so much but as it is right now i cannot replicate that behaviour so i pretty much depend on your findings.

ps. the old apex hack had that problem, too. i think it went away after re-defining the grid from auto to a fixed value (5x4). in your case try setting it to some boogus value, load it up by tapping the homebutton, go back to your settings and set it to a value of your liking.

market is such a strange thing. i always had problems with it, on stock, on custom roms, under custom dpis, on tablet mode. that hack made it better but many apps won't show. the weirdest thing is that even the internet play store on your desktop browser will say "incompatible for nexus." try it, navigate your browser to an app that won't show and you'll see. the only explanations possible are that either the apps manifest was blown by the developers hand at a later time or somehow our changed dpi found its way onto googles servers. if the later case were true we'd be pretty much f*ked. i personally think their entire manifest system is seriously flawed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcb123:
You can use the normal market in 160dpi. It's kind of small but it's better than having issues with market. I couldn't get the modded store to work either :/

zet,

thats just how a tablet handles it. nothing we can do about it. image burn in, isnt that a thing of the past, i havent heard that term for like 10 years. you mean a modern screen can burn in???? that would be terrible news since i have -screen on while plugged to usb- checked all the time, i havent noticed a burn-in even after hours and hours, once by accident it had its screen on all night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeathMetal_i9000:
OK, this is nice, simply copied "normal" vending.apk to system/apps, changed dpi in AOKP ROM control to 160, updated my apps and changed dpi again 192. Should do it until someone finds a smarter solution.

UPDATE:

Now the market aka play store shows everything as it should, also with 192 dpi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Some people have stated they have image burn in on their Nexus'. I'm not sure if they were just defective screens, or what these people were doing with their devices. So far I haven't noticed anything on mine yet, could just be their displays were defective. I know the older amoleds could have image burn in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krijs:
This is pretty funky. I'm using it now, however I'm not really happy with the size of the icons on my homescreen. Is there any way to make them smaller? I've been running with 240dpi for a while so these icons look pretty freaking huge to me and I don't like it.

Here is a pic of my homescreen. Didn't want to use an inline image as it's come out pretty big.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
well hacked nova is running them in standard size again, as if you were on dpi 320. at least i think it does. when it comes to ics im sort of freakish - i like what they did mostly and i wouldn't tinker around so much. if they saw it fit that way so do i. tablet mode is an exception, i think they missed out on that one. what you can do is grab yourself apktool and mod it to your liking - i made a scheme for that a page or two back but really all you need to change is a single value in res/layout600/dimens.xml. im not sure what was the name exactly, something with "app_size." its on 96 dip now, make it smaller and your icons will shrink.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
Pm me I can seen you a theme ics Swype
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
The GN in the Verizon store had terrible burn in of icons on a white background. Almost scared me off from buying the phone so I would be careful about leaving the screen on all day. Otherwise normal wear and tear should be fine.

Does anyway have a working phone APK for 160 density that will work on AOKP 31. The current one floating around closes when switching between 3g and 4g service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
could you share it? we'll put it in the op. i think it should be okay since on xda you find millions of themed apps, whatsapp, facebook, and so on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
To fix that just go into settings > Apps and select Nova Launcher and Clear Data. The dock icons should be spaced out properly, make sure to set your desktop to 5x4 or whatever you want , since it defaulted back to 3x4 for me. Good luck!

guys, i need your help. i hacked google play 3.5.16 and ****ed up their policy-check. it now shows all apps that i have, i can finally find things like catlog again and apps that wouldnt install before do install fine (androzip for instance). but before i put it on the op you better test it: https://rapidshare.com/files/1678437563/Vending.apk if everything is alright it should never EVER bug you with incompatibility issues, even if the app is incompatible per se---

instructions:

go to your app manager, find google play, wipe cache, delete data, forceclose

overwrite it via adb or root-explorer

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
So is this better then the one from LCD destiny app ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yesssss, lcd density modder hid many apps from me and many couldn't install. i think what they did was hardcode the dpi, same thing i did with apex and nova. but this time i screwed up the function inside vending.apk that checks whether or not an app is valid. it took a while to find it but now it gives back "true" by design and even the most impossible stuff that should never run on a nexus goes through.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
Hey, been trying this with aokp . Thanks for the phone apk ,got it working now. Just to let you know I find apex launcher much better to use as it gives you more customization options in terms of rows and columns.
