just try it, its just two build prop edits away and you can see for yourself if its worth it, youre not destroying anything. :)

first, do not use aokp b32. it has big fat tablet bugs. right now they are fixing them. the real tablet users couldn't even use it - take a look in the aokp forum, galaxy tab for instance, it made quite some buzz. b31 is ok, zaph said those bugs will be fixed in 33. install hacked apks as writen on the op, just follow the instructions. :)

aokp issue. setting/storage/.../usb computer connection/media device (mtp) = check ... now it'll work. tablet mode changes nothing dont worry. :)

rom doesnt matter on nexus. its ics itself that has that capability. its getting problematic if youre running crippled ics for older devices, they had to rewrite parts of it to adapt it to hard-buttons. those devices needed hacks to run tablet mode but we're all lucky pricks, especially us aokp users who can kick it off in the settings. don't know if liquid allows you to change dpi and hide the navigation bar, if yes then thats all you need. if not read the op, you'll have to edit your build.prop.

btw, push your rom builder to implement that stuff. if liquid does not make it easy for you, bug them with requests and show them a few snapshots maybe. youre always allowed to take mine, i dont care.

thanks man! it already exists on your note, but in a barebones version. tablet mode is really just two settings in your build.prop. if you find here hacks and fixes that help making it more usefull to you, go into one of those note rom topics and tell their creators they're always invited to take whatever they need from us. would be nice though if they'd link to us. its not for reputation or some b/s, but the more attention it gets the better the chances that devs will implement more than just the drop into tab mode which really can be done by hand in a matter of seconds.

the things we're collecting here are plattform independent, they should work on all phones (hopefully, not sure about nova though because i hardcoded some dpi's)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
will be done after tonights movie! i'd be interested to work together aswell. i had some ideas for per app dpi settings - next week i'll try setting up a build environment but my linux skillz are close to none. you think we could like get together on this somehow?

i know but its super hard to close them because the x is so small. in the old version i could swipe them out. now its terrible, never had good patience. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
Thanks! So should I just completely delete Nova Launcher, before I go into tablet mode, and use stock AOKP launcher when I do go into tablet mode?

Or, should I go into, say, SBP Shell 3D (another launcher), delete Nova, and then go into tablet mode?

PS: I know it says in the instructions not to install the modified apps, but do I do that with Nova too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Yeah. I don't have much experience with it either, but it doesn't look too crazy to do. Reading:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373117

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348707 it looks like a few things have to be decompiled and edited, but I have experience doing that.

aokp issue. setting/storage/.../usb computer connection/media device (mtp) = check ... now it'll work. tablet mode changes nothing dont worry. :)

Sorry but i dont use AOKP im on bugless beast
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
nova and all the other ics launchers too need root rights, thats why you "install" them as system apps. but installing a system app means simply dropping them into /system/app and thats that. if you had nova before delete it. yes, if you want to make sure nothing happens might not be a bad idea to install a second launcher - but really, make a nandroid and you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
try it nonetheless, has nothing to do with the rom, aokp just missed to check that one by default thats why people called it a bug. if it doesn't work change your rom, its probably the troublemaker. tabletmode cant and wont break anything but your phone and your market, for that we have fixes. everything else must be something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yeah i did that with nova, its easy actually if you know some assembler and markup code. apktool is a great thing, i love that about android.

but what i meant was rather rewrite ICS, the real aosp code, and then compile it again. the one thing that really sucks about tab mode is that normal apps are too small. im thinking someone should implement a hook with which we could define the dpi individually for each app. this is gonna be no easy fix, it'll mean all the linux hell is dropping on my head. i'll waste countless of hours setting up a build environment and figuring out how the api works. im not yet sure if i really wanna do it when im sure that theres many devs out there who could do that kind of thing with ease - but haven't seen the potential yet unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
could be another bug, not sure... but i cant get PDAnet to work anymore.. the app on my phone works, but my mac isnt showing it as being connected to the computer. also, doesnt seem like android file transfer works anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smjfosho:
where in build.prop am i suppose to add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Anywhere you want I believe. Just make sure it's on it's own line with nothing in front of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
I just realised something. Google Chrome, now assumes this is a tablet, consequently goes into tablet ui, which is the ONLY case which is WORSE than phone ui. Instead of making it like Firefox's tablet ui, which is way better, they make it without cards/visual representation of tabs, and just have a tab bar like on a regular desktop, which sucks..even on a 7" tablet i can barely click on the little x to close the tab most of the time.

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

didnt see this post...yea, this SUCKS. anyone figure out how to get the regular chrome back (strangely enough, restoring chrome 0.16 from my TiBu backup gives me back regular ui even in tablet mode, but chrome 0.16 doesn't have history).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i just tried to hack it but its complicated. i've got the old layout back but the buttons do nothing. then i tried to delete the highres-layouts and killed every mention of in in the smali files but earned crashes. guess this goes into the long que of apps that suck in high resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
not that i know of, file transfer is fine. see if you have the same problem with pdanet in default dpi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I'm not sure what happened. . Not working in regular dpi either. Sorry to post here, I kinda jumped the gun. Just don't remember doing anything else that should affect it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Added a download link for GSM, also added the keyboard in both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
thanks, i've put it up! :)

today i installed linux, downloaded the repo and now im trying to compile aosp. with some luck it'll work. in the coming days i'll try to tinker around a bit, see if i can do something about the dpi per app issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
hey moles u updating this baby to AOKP b33?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already, but the admin for Nova Launcher has responded with questions for the Nova Launcher Feature Request that was put in for this. http://feedback.novalauncher.com/fo...tting-for-tablet-mode-on-high-density-phones-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kizaros2g:
yeah, that would be so good! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
Sorry for asking so many questions with set up, but I'm still a bit confused:

1) I'm on AOKP B33 now.

2) I replaced Nova Launcher with the modded version while in tablet mode. I don't think anything happened. How do I get the normal view back with my dock (or without)?

3) Is the Play Store messed up on 33? I can't access it and I wiped before coming...

Also I moved the updated Play Market to the system/app and I have the tablet market... is that right?

EDIT: SBP Shell 3D is working quite nicely, no problems with that as far as I can see... although I still personally prefer Nova if it is possible to get it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
didnt know b33 is out. did someone laready try if the bugs are fixed? the manual stuff is not dependent anyway, just follow the steps and you should be good.

ever better, kevin wrote me and he said they were surprised the request grew so large in just a couple of days. they've already made an inofficial beta with lots of tablet related stuff in it. he invited me to test it and it has all the things we were asking for - still some bugs but looks good. when 1.1 becomes official i'll take out the hack from the op.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prking07:
Same thing here!! This kills my radio with the phone.apk from the op.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
You need a modded store. Easiest way is to just download LCD density modder paid version) from the store and change it to a supported dpi.

Tablet mode is cool... but the status/nav bar targets are just too small.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
Verizon did have network issues in the morning... could it have been bad timing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i got this trick with phone.apk from the internet somewhere. i tried and it worked, but i have no idea yet if it works in the longterm. right now i have a signal and i didn't notice any drops. if it were the case it would pretty much kill this project until someone finds a true remedy. the apk was taken, as written in the first post, from aokp's droid incredible build. maybe taking another would do. could be helpful to clear dalvik cache aswell, after it's been exchanged. btw, it's not patched in any way, i found no explanation whatsoever why it works. after switching back to the old dpi and coming back it crashed, too. so i guess it rather has something to do with caching, could even be the old one works if the cache were clean.

last night i tried to update the hack to apex-latest but im starting to think that it is such a hassle to do this, it costs hours of searching a needle in a haystack. dennisxl from apex wrote me today and they are maybe considering putting a setting in there. as he said they haven't done much testing with changed dpi's, but who knows, maybe they will in future. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemulen:
How do I completly hide my nav bar? Tried several different "combinations" without success.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
in aokp its a setting. you can enable it in the powermenu options. you press the power button for a while and the menu comes up, giving you navigation-bar comtrols, including an option to get rid of it. this has to do done before you reboot, combine that with dpi 192 or less and you'll get tablet without fc's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
UPDATE

i compiled a new fix. based on 1.0.2beta: https://rapidshare.com/files/2566886197/ApexLauncher_v1.0.2-signed.apk

landscape mode works, but don't forget to switch off auto-sizing in the settings. it needs a fixed grid, try 5x4, even if its already the default, tap it and hit OK anyway. i excluded the dock in landscape mode. the first time you launch it it could hide the icon names, go into landscape and back to portrait and the names should appear. i don't know yet why it happens, could be it's because of old settings somewhere. this apk is also optimized for large fonts (under settings/display/fontsize) under dpi 192.

if it doesn't look like the screenshots on page #1, you're doing something wrong. there shouldn't be any waste now. could be your apex is still on auto-grid-size, it'll shrink the workspace-pane to a tiny box. check your apex-settings and set both grids to 5x4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
I doubt it's because of AOKP M4. I am using that rom and everything worked perfectly fine for me using the files from OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
I must use 192dpi? can I use higher dpi because the words are quite small to read.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
Well the idea is that dropping the dpi tricks ICS to think it's a tablet. I'm not sure what the breakpoint is however when it thinks tablet/phone.

Anyone know the highest dpi while still in tablet mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I believe it is 192.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qamrij:
hi uys i have just tried the mod its fantastic i have only one problem when i try to install youtube from market it sayd my device is not compatible with this app.

any guess????

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23575259&postcount=36

192 is the last possible value to kick off tablet mode. a rom cook could probably change those thresholds easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
follow the aokp instructions in the dpi tab. or try this: set dpi to 320. reboot to cwm. wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. reboot. forceclose market. delete its data, delete its cache. start market and accept. close market normally. set dpi to 192, hide navbar, reboot. that helps alot.

many apps still won't be "compatible," probably youtube will be one of them. this is because an app has to define in it's manifest for which devices it can function. vending.apk reads these attributes and excludes apps if non-applicable. it's all written in the SDK, read about it here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/market-filters.html

you can try market hacks though. if you look for it and find something please report it here, i'll write it up in the first post.

and in the very, very worst case, just download your apps back in normal dpi. all it takes is a simple reboot to switch between phone and tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
Thanks for the link, very helpful explanation. The blog also has some other interesting reads/posts. And I agree, def seems like a rom cook could change it pretty easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i just figured apktool can decompile/compile jar-files, too. i will attempt to change that value. if that works i'll try to cook a readymade framework that can be installed without all the hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I already tried replacing all 0x258 (600 in hex) values with 0x140 (320 in hex) in the .smali files containing "0x258" from android.policy.jar, core.jar, and SystemUI.apk. It booted, but just caused SystemUI to crash (at least in my case). Let me know if you find anything different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
ya i tried that aswell. biggest problem right now is i don't find PhoneWindowManager.smali ... 0x258 comes up only in Downloads and DOwnloadManager. is it perhaps in System.UI.apk? and can you compile it without changes and see if it crashes still to eliminate apkt issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2.0t03speed:
is anyone else having the clock force close on them anytime they try to open it? if so how did you go about fixing it?

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

also anyway to resize the keyboard to make it shorter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
tried it with 0x240, shortsized-threshold 576, dpi-threshhold 200. it boots up ok, but i get gapps crashes. as soon as i touch the powerbutton it reboots. it seems to be in tablet mode though, i see no statusbar. unfortunately no navigation-bar either.

clock works fine here.

install another keyboard. try swype beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
normally you just drop that stuff into /system/app - eventually they both need their cache & data wiped in settings/apps/all the market is the same as the old one, i just killed some restrictions in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonzorizo:
I'm running everything fine on B33. I dropped everything in system/app. And then deleted the stock vending.apk, phone.apk(kept fc'ing) Had to do a battery pull, all was well upon boot and phone works. Then I deleted novalauncher.apk, and clicked on the hacked nova launcher and installed it. Oh and I was running apex at first so had to go into settings, apps, and clear defaults on apex. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
Thanks! I'm going to restore a backup and follow those instructions. So your screen is normal in Nova?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonzorizo:
Yep all is well. Woke up to a couple system UI fc's though I'ma clear cache and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
Alright, so here's exactly what I did:

1) Made a Nandroid of stock AOKP 33

2) Went into Tablet Mode

3) Put the modded Phone into system/app

4) Deleted the Telephony Provider apk

5) Put the modded Nova Launcher into system/app

6) Deleted the Nova Launcher apk

7) Did a battery pull

8) Upon restarting, I got a message that Mobile Data had stopped and I couldn't do anything as I kept getting a non-ending message that Nova Launcher has stopped.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks everybody for helping me out btw, it's a very cool mod!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
why did you delete the telephoe provider? you just push over Phone.apk, maybe wipe caches in cwm and app manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
there should be no fc's whatsoever if everythings alright. make sure the navigationbar is really gone before you reboot, like, vanished -not just transparency.

is that b33? i'd be sad if it was because the buttonbar still looks f-d up. as long those buttons are so close to one another because of that bug im staying on 31. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saintsmmx:
Yeah, they are still close and still has that bug that makes the three primary buttons tiny when Menu appears :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
Oh okay haha, when I restored it came back. That was stupid of me :p

Anyway, do I delete the Nova Launcher apk, or just put the modded version over it in system/app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ajj915:
Nooooo.... I was hoping that the nav buttons weren't so close in B33. Crap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
just save those apk's. nandroid is great and you should at least have one but after you did that you can just backup the old apk's, rename them to apk.bak if you want. this you can also do with nova if it existed on your device before. then simply drop the apk in that directory and youre set. no install, just dropping. sometimes he doesnt acknowledge and needs a reboot but most of the time hitting homebutton will bring it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
great. :(

can you please make bug reports in aokp's threads on rootzwiki? im fearing we'll be stuck on 31 for longer maybe...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jijonhyuni:
I like tablet UI

Thanks~:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawe_ewahs:
molesarecoming have you any source repo like git for this work? I've a friend with a Galaxy Note and your work can be very interesting for he can try to do the same on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
the rom is from zer0_cool but for now i think its aokp b31 with the apk's dropped inside it. so theres no git, your friend can take the apks of course and use them if he wants to. tab mode has been realized on your note already, i think i saw it on xda's news page, so take it and make it better.

we WANT to have a rom that adresses all the troublesome issues, and i WISH we had nexus devs that were interested in it. but until now no one has stepped up. i compiled aosp yesterday sucessfully but im such a damn newb - its a pitty, i don't think i can do much, i'll try anyway. if your friend knows how to do all these things maybe he'd like to get in contact. i am a programmer but i know nothing about linux and git and all that stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
Settings FC on liquid 1.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
YES! I got it working :D

Thanks molesarecoming! I just have one more question:

I'm still on tablet mode for the play store. How do I fix this (I put the vendor apk in, do I need to rename the old one-- what's it called?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Medic97:
Anyone tried this on AOKP b33?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Read the thread.. It doesn't work after 31
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
I'm pretty sure it works on B33, but yeah 32 has issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j7899:
I found having the menu icon show for b33 fixed the issue of the tiny icons in several apps. Settings -> Rom Control -> Navigation Bar and change quantity to 4 and set the 4th button to be menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slick_rick:
First off this mod looks amazing and yes I understand its for the GNex. What would. It take for this to get ported to the Epic 4G Touch? I and probably a few others would be willing to donate something for the cause if this could work with say CM9 alpha 3 rom. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
You should start by asking your Rom developers just know the dpi will have to really small for your device to hit tablet mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slick_rick:
Oh Im fine with low DPI, I'd run my phone at 129 dpi (the lowest we can go before system ui crashes) if the phone.apk wouldnt crash. What would the rom developer have to do first?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Send an aosp dev the link to this Rom and ask them to implement it to it. Actually you might be able to just follow the instructions here to get tablet mode yourself. Try it!

Follow instructions in first post. It should work for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
If you search this thread a bit I've made a mod for legacy devices running AOKP build32..

Otherwise check here.

Will update it to build 33 if people appreciate what I am doing.. not much response yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slick_rick:
I will do so sometime in the morning, thanks.

Will the mod work for cm9 roms? If not, we have an aokp build 32 from I will try. So I set dpi to 128 and then flash zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
It's made for AOKP roms so probably will not work on CM9..

You can set your dpi before or after installation of the mod.. doesn't matter.. you can switch when you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slick_rick:
OK I'm going to give this a shot now on the aokp build, after I do a nandroid of course. Will let you know how it goes.

Edit: It works and looks pretty good with no fc's so far. I will try the hacked nova launcher even though its made for the nexus. Iapreicate your work and donated a little something, but im just a poor college student lol. Confirmation number: 6UB5965735808681Y. Would it be ok to post this on the e4gt forums?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qureshali:
Pls update it to Build 33! Counting on you. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slick_rick:
Hey Xylograph, when you have time could you make a hacked nova launcher that works with our tablet ui? I tried the nexus one, regular nova and neither work well although the regular market one does do better. The app drawer looks decent but the desktop grid and desktop windows dont fill the whole screen. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yeah some people on rootz said that. but i find it ugly like that and the buttons are still way to close. that menu button is getting obsolete anyway. i'll still wait but good to know, maybe i should write it on the op so anyone who needs 33 can adapt.

theres a good chance nova 1.1 will be tablet ready when it comes out, we already got a response from them. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
Thanks, much appreciated and I am doing this for fun in the first place ;)

Yes you can post it in your device forum, but please also link to this thread since it's got a lot of usefull/additional information !

Working on it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Xylograph, is there a topic you'd like me to link on the OP? i think its great what you did, don't know why its getting little attention as you say. noticed the same on rootz though, its been overlooked.
