Looks good OP. Nice job. You should use a newer Apex Launcher. v0.8 is 2 versions behind the latest 'stable' Apex version. I'd like landscape as well ;).

You need to use a hacked version of market/play store. I'm pretty sure there's a thread around here on xda with the necessary hacks for free or you can buy lcd density modder pro on play store which gives you access to a hacked version (both 'markets' accomplish the same thing from what I've read).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleachedgin:
I'm excited for this one. Once this is easier to implement, i'll switch to this right away, best mod i've seen so far :) congratz!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilerseberle14:
Great mod also I just used spb shell 3d works great in tablet mode using this it uses the screen space well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SwiftLegend:
Anyway to get that camera change without changing the DPI?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XanSama:
Here... I just applied OP's mods to the latest Apex Launcher; seems to work OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gdjackychen:
cool!!!

suport codename 1.5?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
every launcher "works," well, except trebuchet. but nova wastes space, shrinks your icons and hides the dock. if you can live with that, yes then it works. ;)

go back to 320, force close market, delete cache and data, start it and press OK. go back to 192. it works, well, better but you still get that stupid message every now and then. but really it's their fault. it's easy to mod though, and there's been solutions for this.

install swype. it's the better keyboard anyway. :D

yeah i was wondering, in m4 the option was ... missing? weird. it's in my poweroptions now anyway. the problem was, system.UI crashed if i didn't disable the navigation-bar before reboot. it always did, so can it perhaps be they fixed it in m4?

in the hack at least landscape kills it, the dock gets punched out by the divider.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
hey, thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i dont know, its actually a feature of ICS - it does most of it by itself. can cna hide the navigation-bar? if not you can hack your framework. here's an instruction: http://baroqueworksdev.blogspot.com/2012/02/launch-tablet-mode-android-403-on.html but don't go to 160, it's way to small man. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i guess it can be modified, why not. trick it into believing the dpi of your device is 192. if you want you can have my apktool project (it took me days to figure out how to compile/decompile ics apk's without getting a crapload of error messages). with apktool you should be able to do this quickly. but as i wrote in the first post, if someone would invent a root-app that could individually set dpi for apps, it would do so much for us. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smohanv:
Is there a way to increase the keyboard size.. In tablet resolution the keyboard is very tiny..

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smohanv:
Hi

I am trying to install "QuickPic" from "Google Play". This app is free. It is saying that the item I am attempting to purchase could not be found (see screenshot). I am able to install this app in 320 resolution.

Has anyone experience the same..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
No way as I know. I use Swype.

Clear market cache and then try again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
no, not that I know of. I asked some devs before if it could be done but got nothing back. the phone is usable though, I'm using it for a whole month now or longer. set the fonts to large or even huge and it's fine. some buttons can be quite hard to tap but as you get used to it you'll tap more carefully. when in switch back it just feels wrong, it is such an enormous waste of space, they made buttons and tappable objects so big a bear could operate it with its paw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] o.m:
OMG, Thank you!

superb!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smohanv:
Thanks.. It works after clearing cache..

Can this be made into a flashable zip for CWM?

Thanks

N
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
phone and apex sure, but everything else would trash your framework. this mod will not trash your rom and you'll be able to go back any time, simply by changing dpi and navigation-bar visibility. i personally wouldn't bother too much making it a perfect flashable solution because im waiting for a rom-cook to incorporate our findings into a real rom. btw, adb is a simple tool, its even easier and safer to use than cwm.

I'm struggling to install some of favourite apps from the Play Shop and some apps don't show such as Facebook. I'm obviously doing something wrong or missing something or a process.

Thoughts anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
When you change your dpi, you mess up market. You can either find/modify the market apk to hardcode a dpi value, instead of having it be read from your build.prop, use lcd density modifier pro which I think comes with the option to use the modified market, or change to a standard density and download your apps. Using the last method and changing back to a non-standard density will make it so some apps don't update as it breaks the market again.

here's a thread that probably has some play/market apk's already modified in it, as well as lots of other info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tweezydak1d:
i just want the camera
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kepz:
Makes alot of sense now. Thank you!

We're being really sneaky and tricking Android in other words.... not nice, because I really want to be friendly to Andy. :)

iOS is probably sitting there laughing at us tricking Andy to be a tablet when it's not and then breaking something to make something work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
By the way we wrote about it above) Use LCD Density Modder Pro - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23908947&postcount=155

And besides you can simply push modified Vending.apk - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24067966&postcount=172
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
its not a trick, changing dpi is part of aokp's functionality, many roms can do it, and should. tablet mode is part of ics itself and it simply reacts to lower dpi.

the market is probably badly written, i dont know what's the deal with that app. im getting tons of problems no matter if dpi is set to 192 or 320. wrong country, wrong device, wrong density, blablabla. they are relying too hard on the manifest entries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
is this confirmed? if it works, we should put it on the frontpage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I did it. And methinks smohanv did it too. This is the app that modified using LCD Density Modder Pro.

But you can always redo it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Tried it after much procrastination, looks brilliant but I wish I could leave downloaded apps at 320 DPI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Do you mean main interface (homescreen, menu etc) in 192 dpi but apps in 320?

I think it is not possible or almost impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
Right.

All gravey BUT...

The screen size isnt quiet right. I cant add icons to the top or bottom of the screen. Its like my screen is a square so i cant place icons either at the top or bottom of the screen

Does that make sense

anyone else getting this issue?

This is on FoxHounds 4.0.4 rom

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:

OP, Thanks for posting this. Been running this for a few days now with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
just switched to aokp b29 4.0.4.

hacked market works, no more problems, i've updated the fron-page, thanks for that!

apex, works - simple restore and it had all its settings and homescreen-configs back

phone, does work, but the layout is off. it really, really sucks. i have no idea why it happens. it happens for incomming calls, the receive/cancel-switch sits too low.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
There are some bugs includ dialer issue on b29. I think it is similar problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
thank god its usable, only a visual glitch. i tested normal calls and voip, all ok.

I'll test later. Now in normal mode. I'll revert to my tablet nandroid and update it.

It does work on those even nova just not well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Medic97:
Yeah mine does. Im on AOKP B28 and have the same issue but it doesnt bother me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danwguy:
Last time I tried it on aokp m4 I lost all phone signal. After I got rid of the phone.apk that was posted in the op it worked, but someone told me Verizon had issues that morning so it might have been that. That and Nova launchers app drawer was only half the screen so I didn't know if nova had to be modified to work with this like apex was
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Nova will do fine, no dock though and wastes a bit too much space, the only launcher that didn't work at all was trebuchet. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yrref:
using BAMF, my on-screen keys, such as back, home, alt-tab are just GONE. How can I fix this??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
your navigationbar, the one down there, needs to completely disappear before you reboot. couple that with a switch to dpi 192 and it'll kick off tablet-mode. AOKP has settings for this so that it can be done by hand without hassle. if your rom does not allow you to do it you'll need framework hacks. you could contact CurrentWeb, he's compiled new frameworks for almost all CDMA roms by now and is currently doing the same for GSM. and if you really need to have it right now, i'd probably suggest you install AOKP. think of it, these roms give you nice abilities and customisations, but this one, tablet mode, actually makes life easier - i could never ever see myself going back to old phone mode with silly one-column settings, unusable email client and huge navigationbar & tap-buttons, so i stay on AOKP until there's a rom that especially adresses tablet/hybrid mode and then i'll switch to that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 99problemz:
All goes well for me until I try to install apex launcher then it gives me error not installed existing package by same name with a conflicting signature already exits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Delete installed non modified Apex and then install modified.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 99problemz:
Just now tried and still no go. Still get same error even when I delete it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Reboot and then try again. Also you can try to clear market cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 99problemz:
I'll try that thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rafi300:
I think maybe it happens cuz in the new Aokp b29 there is no option to disable and power off the navbar before we change dpi to 192 tablet mode and reboot like in the previous AOKP builds . Thus the navbar is still on making some sort of framework area unusable.

Sent from my gNexus using a swyping thumb!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] incredulous:
Loving this mod! I love the notification popups, the big clock in the status bar, 3d YouTube, 2 columned Gapps. However, I hate Apex. I prefer Nova, it adapts well to DPI change and you can change the amount of dock icons and various other little tweaks.

I am going back to 240dpi for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
you dont install apex. you push it via adb into /system/app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
240 wont give you any of these things. 192 is the highest you can go, higher and you'll loose tablet-mode. no launcher i've seen adapts really well under tablet mode, including nova, but that depends of course on what you expect. our hacked version has fixed dpi + dock, it looks almost 1:1 the same as under normal dpi, but yeah it's pretty buggy, you can't really change grid-sizes and such, that's quite annoying. just tried 10x10, oh man, it implodes. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 99problemz:
Doh!! no wonder:eek: working 14 hour shift at the hospital has me thinking crazy right now. Nice mod btw I wonder if DT would incorporate this into one of his patient zero roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Medic97:
Any chance we can get the new Apex 1.0.4 launcher hacked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Hey guys, as someone who's spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get tablet mode working for me, I thought it my duty to update.

192 DPI

AOKP M4 (not updating to b29 until the kinks are worked out)

360 Launcher (the BEST - I was stuck on Nova before but this is perfect)

BG from the huge wallpaper post within Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps

Top toggle bar and cool ass settings button are included in the launcher

Calendar is Simple Calendar (It shows more than one event, I'm off today)

Profile widget ("Norm") is Profile Scheduler

ze elefant is obviously Evernote

the girly T <3 R is me messing about in UCCW

About the launcher - full grid support, mine is on 9x8, dock works perfectly in both landscape and portrait. Only cons are the fact you can't disable the dock, which I would like to do at times to have the whole screen (but you can just delete the icons), you have to use DV or similar to change to custom icons, and sometimes maybe 3 out of 10 times, I'll go 'home' and my wallpaper will be gone, but will return in a few minutes. However the pros far outweigh the cons. The app drawer is perfect and very very quick in vertical mode. It does add the menu nav icon though for quick access to add things, launcher prefs, settings, etc. but I got over it. I try to keep my status bar under control anyways. *edit: looking at the screenshots, I don't see the menu icon, but it's definitely there all the time while on the home screen. Not sure why it wasn't picked up in the ss* The extra bit of black down in the dock is due to the theme I chose, not the launcher.

Anyways other than that everything works perfect. Plus if I ever get a headache or something I boot into 320 and it feels like a brand new phone lol.

Great work i absolutely love this mod! I was wondering though, after reading through all these pages with no answer...When I watch a video through NetFlix or the Gallery the buttons don't disappear like the did before.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chino0131:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Medic97:
I think you need the HD version floating around here that might help. Personally i dont mind since the line is so small i never notice it. It blends in with the screen itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
did you notice any bugs in 1.0.2? right now the only thing that annoys me is a popup telling me to update. but if i hack 1.0.4 it'll crop up again when 0.5 is ready. i'm not sure this is the right way. keep in mind this is just a dirty hack and probably we'd be better off asking in the official apex thread for a setting. i did ask myself, but one request amongst hundreds won't change a thing. maybe two people wanting this ain't much either but it's a start. the real dev's out there should notice that tablet/hybrid is something great and work something out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokomoto:
But before I did this mod it would go full screen. So this just started happening after I did this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jyabor91:
I appreciate this mod. It is awesome and makes my phone almost reach its full potential. My one and only gripe would be with the launcher. I decompiled and edited it myself but i cannot recompile for some reason keep getting an error. But as I was saying, If you could upload the newest 1.0.4 with a few more mods I would definately appreciate it :D mods which would put this over the top IMO are 5x7 app drawer, customizable or 7 app dock, and apps being sized right. Right now there way too big. If you use nova the apps are normal size. On the custom apex they are almost like zoomed it.

EDIT: Also if you use any folder other than stack style, you can see what i mean by them not being sized right. they are off center and huge lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
newest apktool cannot compile ics files, you either need to use an older version or a fix. try this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/405475/working-apktool.zip or study this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23482373 and make sure aapt.exe is in the same folder as apktool or else it wont work.

the smali changes are simple then, just look for displaymetrics and hardcode densityDPI and density. i think the latter was a float, so you need to watch out, its IIIE574 standard. somewhere i needed to kill a switch to get something else working, i need to see if i still have the smali lying around somewhere.

it would be awesome if several people could like work together on this. xansama once ported the first hack to 1.0.2, i took his version then to fix further bugs (working landscape). since that's the nature of apk files we could pass them around and fix bugs on each others versions. although forking trebuchet source and working from there would be better i guess.

ps. youre saying apps are too big and zoomed in? i don't have that. look at the picture in post #1, looks perfectly alright. i think novas icons are a tad smaller than stock phone-mode. folder icons in apex are too big, though. i never used it before but yeah they overlap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jyabor91:
Im going to attempt to edit and fix the issues that im seeing but keep in mind im a newb lol i emailed the dev of apex and requested an option to change dpi of launcher in apex settings

EDIT: and i didnt mean the size of the apps. i worded that wrong lol i meant the size of the apps when they are in folders
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
lol, then we're two. i had no idea what is dalvik-opcode, smali and apk before. just wanted to run tablet mode and started to read into it. :D i'll look up my code later. just write if you need something.
