Tbh if someone could just take the tablet mode bottom bar and put it in phone mode. I would love them forever! Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Any fix for this?

edit: well not fix, because I know its meant to be that size but is there an alternative keyboard which scales smaller?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
o..i see, but why does it ONLY work in 192 then? or rather, the tablet mode only works with 192, i suppose it weould work in regular phone mode at 240 or 320 or something, but why 192?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
explanation here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23575259&postcount=36

192 is just the magic number to get 600 short sized device pixels which is the exact threshold to kick in tablet mode. you can go lower, but not higher, unless of course the threshold is lowered inside the firmware.

i personally use swype-beta, which is a nice keyboard all around, no sizing problems under highres is a bonus. its not in the market yet but you can get it off their page - but i guess you must go back to 320 dpi to fetch it or the installer would tell you your device is not compatible blabla, but it'll work just fine when you switch up again. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipskang:
I am using AOKP M4 and had Nova Launcher already

1. made Nandroid

2. Hide the Nav Bar ( Rom Control->Power Menu Options->Uncheck Show navigation bar toogle)

3. Pushed Phone.apk using adb

abd push c:\phone.apk system/app

4. Rebooted

5. changed fontsize to Large

6. Installed Apex Launcher( your link) using Galaxy nexus toolkit

7.Apex Settings: Auto Grid deselect and 5x4 for landscape and portrait

getting error"System UI has stopped"

Any idea what I am doing wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
My phone continuously crashes, even after pushing the new phone.apk file (phone launches fine, but it continually pops up phone.apk has crashed.) Flashing back my nandroid until this is fixed/explained ):.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
Thx for the link. It was insightful. HOwever, my question stands, why doesnt phone.apk (the one that works in 192 DPI) work at 180DPI?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemulen:
Is there another keyboard that looks like the stock one to use instead of the Android one? Keyboard is kinda big and annoying to type on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
system.ui normally crashes when there's still a bar somewhere. it must be totally gone before you boot. its not enough to simply check that entry, you need to go into the power menu and hide it. this crash had many people believe that tablet does not work on a phone - there's many webpages which state that nexus can drop into tablet without navigation and no further. but some guy somewhere found out it's just because of the bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
dude, i have no idea. its a mystery. i dont get what dpi has to do with anything, it should work just fine, evenything else does, too. i'd say its a bug in phone.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
are you under dpi 192? maybe go and do some cache/dalvik wiping after you exchange the phone. it does work 100%. everyone experiences a crashing phone, but this fix has worked for us all, so it should work for you, too. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
dude, right above your post. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
I'll try it later today, thank you for this ( I dind't know a wipe of dalvik was needed)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
well i didnt wipe anything. i swapped the apk and it worked right away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthkillszz:
correct me if im wrong but to restore back to normal we dont necessarily restore a nandroid. all we have to do is re-flash the current rom we are on and wipe cache and dalvik. re-flashing the rom should overwrite the custom build.prop framework and phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
way easier, you just put it back to stock dpi (320), reboot, and there you go. switch on the navbar, too. your phone.apk should work just fine, i dont believe it will give you any trouble, but if you feel like it just restore your backup.

the only thing which will give you hell is the apex hack. this one cannot (properly) work under dpi 320 for now. eventually i'll find the piece of code which causes this. but you can always just push the old oone over and you wouldn't even lose your settings.

btw, i switch back to phone mode often, for instance when the market does not allow me to download something. its a matter of seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
i wish there could be a way to just have the tablet navbar and the little popup windows that show notifications without having to change DPI cause everything looks so small

great hack btw!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceo.mtcl:
Yes I agree

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipskang:
In the rom control's power menu, there is option to uncheck the show navigation bar toggle but not to hide... Are you referring to something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
when you check that you get a new entry in your power-menu, the one that pops up after you press the powerbutton for a little while. and this entry allows you to hide the nvbar. simply checking it in romcontrol wont do anything. if you see the navbar disappearing, if its completely and traceless...ly gone you know you did it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
Awesome little tweak.

I am using this on AOKP with launcher pro and it does not waste space at all. So if anyone is looking for a little bit of a different launcher you might want to try launcher pro out.

Thanks OP for the mod looks awesome.

Edit:

Spoke too soon, some widgets behave erratically on launcher pro. YMMV depending on what widgets you may or may not use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
This is awesome! So functional, probably never going back. If I have another go at rom making, I may try to make be default set for tablet mode, and I read something about changing specific dpi for certain apps the other day. Best mod to date :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipskang:
got it what do you mean...I restored the phone and started all the steps again

Everything went ok , Tablet mode was displayed, I can see the navigation buttons in the apex but after couple of minutes, its giving same error"System UI has stopped"

1. I changed the DPI to 192

2. Hide the nav Bar

3. Pushed phone.apk

4. Reboot

5. font changed to Large

6. Installed Apex ( attached file with thread) using Gnex toolkit

7. Changed Apex settings

8. Landscape & Portrait to 5x4 and OK

I had Nova Launcher & Launcher installed before installing Apex on the system

I am using AOKP M4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I have no system ui error. Also had nova launcher installed and I'm also using aokp m4.

My steps:

1. hide nav bar in power menu options

2. change dpi to 192

3. reboot

4. change font size

5. clear market data

6. open market

7. push phone.apk

8. install apex

9. change apex settings: landscape and portrait to 5x4

10. go to homescreen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
how many times we need to beg you to do it? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:

btw, aokp b28 came out, just installed it, wiped cache & dalvik, pushed the phone and it crashed. i had to wipe and push again ... now it works. i have no idea what the heck is wrong with that thing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
So if I re flash the rom I need to do everything again for getting the tablet mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i reflashed b28 today. it overwrote den properties. but it costs a minute to set it up again. but this of course could be made so much easier if we had a dedicated rom that would deal with all these things. to be honest, as much as i like having a round battary symbol and blue controls instead of white ... tablet makes me more productive and i'd prefer a real tablet that deals with all the issues we're getting with our hack right now over a standard one with a few extras. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Yes if you flash rom with cache/data wipe or flash new one rom. You can always make backup Apex settings and restore it after changing dpi and installing modified Apex version.

Probably (I didn't try it myself with this mod) you can simply flash new rom (update rom) without wiping but it's really no good way. As experience shows you will have bugs, lags etc. etc.

I have a lot of apps without compatibilities in the play store, can you help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaF1974:
Same here with 240, 192, or 180 dpi and AOKP M4 and Franco's latest kernel. Only 50% of my installed apps are shown although I can run them as usual with just few display issues. Only the original 320 and 160 dpi show all apps as compatible in the market.

I use ADWlauncher which is compatible with all these dpi and deleted the market settings for a fresh start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
in short, you have three options:

1. go back to standard dpi and install there, dpi = 320, reboot, thats that

2. make sure you follow all the hints under roms controls dpi section, helps a little

3. install a market hack from xda

the market was written in that way. there's not much we can do about it. it reads an apps manifest and and blocks it if thinks its non-applicable. it's documented behaviour. it likes 160, 240 and 320. when you find a good hack, please be so kind and report it back here, then we'll put it into one package, together with phone.apk and apex and everything else that might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipskang:
I did the same thing exactly same steps, I am still getting error

I am using Franco's Kernel M2, I guess I am using three Launcher's, is it true? ( Check Image)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Check "Use by Default for this action" and use Apex Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Guys, if you want to have all apps stayed compatible with your "tablet" in the market try it:

1. Change LCD Density to stock value (320--xhdpi)

2. Reboot

3. Clear market data

4. Open Market and hit accept

5. Change dpi to 192 and reboot

6. Don't clear market data

It works fine for me. I use last gapps - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip

Anyone know whats going on here, and/or how to fix it? Using tablet mode ofc, in regular mode this works fine.

I had no this one yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josehg88:
When y change dpi to 320, i have incompatibilities too, help please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
You must change it in ROM Control > General UI > LCD Density > Change LCD Density to stock value > 320--xhdpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rechinica:
I love this mode!

Is there any way to make the navbar transparent?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Thank you for your work on this!!

Custom icons still look like crap, unfortunately, which is why I went back Nova in the first place :( There must be a way to fix this...? They are crisp and clear with Nova but in Apex they are ugly pixelated.

Also, the dock doesn't work in landscape for me but I can deal if the icons could be improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
I tried using Nova,..but theres a limit of 7 Rows/Columns which is not enuf and the icons are too big for me. But I tried regular Apex, it looks pretty nice, no docks though.

I must not though, that Go Launcher HD looks wonderful, AND has nicely spaced icons etc. However...they look at your physical size (which still is 4.657 inches for us) and exits, am trying to contact the go launcher people to get them to give me a way to ignore the warning as it exits regardless of wether i say cancel or okay to the warning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
hm? icons are perfect on mine, crisp and clear, no pixelation at all. don't know what you mean with custom icons, though. icon idgets like desktopvisualizr could indeed screw up again but hacked apex will for sure show icons proper.

landscape without dock was sort of intented. it wasnt there to begin with but i didnt bother bringing it up because i thought landscape is nicer as it is. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yeah i tried it, too. but on ice cream sandwich i'd prefer real holo launchers. i guess i'd hate using something that must be styled to look like holo. on gb it was my launcher of choice though.

the hack has docks, normal sized icons and those cool tablet status-controls in the upper region (-:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
How did you get it to stop exiting? for me it tell s me to use the regular go launcher and then exits
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HandOfReform:
Does anyone know whats up with the download links for the modded phone and APEX? I'm unable to grab them, due to: Download parameters invalid - please try again later.

Anyone got dropbox or can anyone email them to me?

Another issue I'm noticing is my Market, everything is displaying as non compatible, and it looks like all my purchased apps, even though they're under my apps, are showing prices again implying I need to rebuy...what do? I cleared the market cache before switching to 192...do I just try again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ipskang:
It's a default launcher, I will check the gapps today and will try again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
links should work, i just tried and it downloaded just fine. for your market problems read up on the recent pages.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminal 7:
brilliant

great stuff this ..

if anyone has market app compatibility apps you can download

LCD DENSITY MODDER PRO

it lets you modify the play store so apps are usable and updatable at any resolution

this tablet mod isnt complete but its well on the way, personaly i have good eyesight and i find the screen res of the galaxy nexus to be fine setup as a tablet, just what i wanted from the device :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Yes it's a simplest way. And we can change the screen resolution from 320 to 192 and back without any manipulation with market data in ROM Control.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
thats really cool! could you try extracting the market apk so that we could use it without buying the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I think it's no good idea to use warez... Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
wait, im talking about vending.apk, the play market. the modified apk that lcd dpi modder distributes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Sorry I misunderstood you.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Vending.apk - link
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
I guess its just happening when I try to create them in 192, which I do all the time as I'm constantly changing my layout. If they were already created in apex when I was at 320 (the top icons), they look great.

If you or anyone has an idea about how I can get it to set properly in apex, that'd be awesome. Oh and I'm not using Desktop Visualizer. I'm just long - pressing and hitting edit.

OK about the dock - makes perfect sense ^_^

Uploading the SS to XDA really reduced the quality. Here's a better shot - http://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-CQrhptN/0/X2/i-CQrhptN-X2.png
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
strange. i guess it depends a little on the application itself, which res files they include. here's a screenshot i just made: http://www.abload.de/img/screenshot_2012-03-22giyy7.png you can see that the dock is sharp, facebook & gmail aswell. whatsapps getting a bit mushy, skype doesn't provide highres icons at all. i guess tablet mode has not much to do with it, could be in standard-mode it would look the same. i have no idea how it really works, but from apktool i learned that an app provides different settings, layouts and graphics for different densities. make sure your icons are present in all the variants, especially xhdpi.

btw, i like your homescreen, looks pretty cool with that background. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I have same issue with some apps: e.g. AnTuTu Benchmark, BetterBatteryStats, Flash Player Setting. As molesarecoming wrote the problem is in applications that do not support this screen resolution.

With most apps I have no problems.

I used for this standart aokp themes. Icons always will have a size that current screen resolution provides.

Try to push phone.apk later after rebooting.

1. hide nav bar in power menu options

Molesarecoming,

Thanks for the MOD. It looks amazing on the device. Does anyone know how to change the grid size in the app drawer?

Right now it's set to 4x7 and I think it looks a bit goofy. Wish I could have it at 5x7. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smohanv:
Thanks for the steps. Will try following the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i hardcoded it 4x7, at 5x7 icons began to cross each others margins. it kind of sucks having to mess with smali and res because you hardly know what does what so i didn't bother too much about some details. im still crossing my fingers for an actual apex-setting that would ease our pain. if you like ask for it in the official thread, the more attention it gets the more probable will be a real fix that allows us to use apex in either phone/tablet or hybrid mode without loosing space, dock and iconsize.

Hi guys, just getting into the gnex game.

I was wondering if it would be possible to set DPI per app. I'm actually not that much interested in having tablet mode since it still has to be usable as a phone, but I do very much like the idea of some apps (gmail, 2 column settings...) being in tablet mode.

Thx in advance

If I unlock my phone, can I go back to stock for warranty? I read forum a lot but I can't find a proper answer to my these questions;

- Is there anyway to temp root without s-off?

- Can I go back to sense 2.1?

Only problem I have is the ram. Sometimes phone get lags, even in the puss in boots (fruit ninja) and I hate it. Sometimes Go launcher does that. I waste a U8800 huawei for rooting, installing roms and service want 200$ for mainboard. I don't want to go that position again.

Please guide me :)
