RootzWiki has a full blown tablet rom for the Nexus. I was almost tempted to flash it until I reflashed an updated Axi0m (and wiping) to get the navigation bar to display.

I really think this is cool but even using the "huge" font mode, everything is almost too tiny to use realistically. My Nexus is my work phone so I need to be able to operate it fast and while driving sometimes. The tiny buttons make this real hard.

If the DPI could be higher to something like 240, it might not be so bad, but at that DPI the nav buttons, signal, clock, etc would probably be overlapping. The cool thing was that all of the Axi0m hacks still worked in tablet mode, like the battery icons, centered clock, and all the various status bar toggle settings. I would also use the MIUI style battery bar and hide alarm icon to make room (leaving clock, wifi and signal). Would help to make room for a larger DPI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kbrian:
What's the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
Axiom crossbreed V6 SHO AOKP 4.04 hybrid. flash and go everything works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrkrabs:
so just to clarify, can i turn phone into landscape mode without the dock with this hack?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
the thing is, ics does tablet by itself, a rom could help you changing the dpi and hiding the navbar and that's easy to do. in aokp it takes 10 seconds to make these changes by yourself. and once you're in there most if not all your mods will work, circle battery mod, toggles, whatever. so tablet mode really isn't the problem. but as you say, it's more of a novelty. a rom should NOT go straight into tablet mode, but drop into some sort of hybrid operation, cherrypick the best parts of it while retaining the phones functionality.

the apex hack, for me personally, is the only reason im still in tablet mode, for a week now, because it helps to get along with it. it would need many other adaptions, changing the dpi threshold would be one way to go but for sure this brings other problems, like you said, overlapping items in the combi-bar. so it would require bringing the curtain back, etc. i hope a rom-cook sees the potential in this and puts something together that really makes sense on a smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yes you can
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meelouw:
nice job man !

issue : i have icons on drawer who are so big than other, it's games... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I hope AOKP will pick this up and integrate into its ROM!:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mehrsau:
this is great! keep it up man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
Has anyone tried 160 DPI yet? the hacked phone.apk actually ONLY works with 192, and not 160 for some reason. I assume hacking it for 160 too would not be that hard, can someone tell me how the phone.apk was hacked then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FuzionNL:
I'm running it at 182 DPI and I've got no problems at all.

Guess 160 would be better cuz it's supported by the Play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
Is there any way to make the bottom bar any bigger/taller as the nav buttons are hard to hit some times

I also struggle with the keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
160 is too small i think, makes the phone unusable. things like skype, rootexplorer and just about anything that works with lists is getting quite hard to operate under 192, i set the fonts to huge now and it helps. but 160, tapping out items will become very difficult. but if you need it, just install a market hack. i wanted to hack the latest version myself but haven't found the time recently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i think we've already market the spot in the code that could be manipulated to get it, but it would introduce new issues. if you run alot of services side by side right now you have surely noticed that items can overlap at times. if you make the bar bigger, they'd overlap pretty much all the time. i would love a navbar that is a tad bigger, if the good old curtain could be hacked back. cross your fingers that a rom cook or any person that has the hardware to compile aosp/aokp/cm9 sees this and helps weaving our finding into something fit for daily use, as we all know by now, simply switching to tablet is not enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
it wasn't hacked at all. it came right out of the box, unless of course team kang did something to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikey:
I have both options menu button, ics style and clicking on the thread.

Coming soon....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellydroid13:
navbar keys are still screwy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballaz:
if that is the only problem will this fix it and everything will be good?

Hold your phone in landscape.

- Go into Rom Control > Navigation bar

- Set a custom icon picture for at least the first softkey

- Navigation button quantity > change it to 1

- Navigation button quantity > change it to desired value and the distance will be 'normal' in both landscape and portrait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
it says "fix navigation buttons for tablets" - sounds good to me. report back after you've tried.

these were the things i noticed on aokp 33, are they fixed in 34, can you check?

1 install app crash

2 add wallpaper crash

3 custom dpi 192 crash via romcontrol

4 incomming phonecall crash

5 button spacing

6 rectangular glow

7 menubutton disappears or appears unasked for

8 no auto fullscreen like in stock dpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellydroid13:
yup all of those r there except 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballaz:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
On 34 and still borked navigation buttons
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Okay so Ive been reading through random pages for last 45 minutes and Ive come up with this.

Im going to install latest cm9 plus gapps package. Then I will download gmail, youtube etc.. Im not sure If I have to do this first but I might as well do it before the tablet mode.

Next I will change the dpi using root explorer as well as get rid of the nav bar through build.prop.

Then all I have to do is drop the hacked market, launcher, and keyboard and that is all of it?

All should be in order after all that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] david279:
Nova launcher is tablet UI ready so you can skip that step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Ohh one more thing. The hacked market and the keyboard. I drop those after the tablet mode is activated right? Not before?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] culaponk:
You can add more button ex. Menu button, search button, or custom app buttons. Add more button on nav settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h22man:
Does anyone know why cm is so far behind compared to aokp? I mean. Cm was 1# in mods and everything for so long. What happened?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ajj915:
Tap the thread and a dialog box pops up to reply, quote etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
Yea I don't know, I'm on CM9 cuz its were tablet mode is more flawless ... Btw on cm9 flash the cm9 zip if not you won't have a status bar on tablet mode... The zip is rootzwiki thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
Does anyone know how to change the snooze duration on the alarm???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
On the contrary, I switched from aokp to cm. Though aokp is feature rich, it is unstable (I tried B33 and got 3 reboots in a few minutes). cm is the best so far. I have sticked to cm for more than a month. No reboot observed.

edit: I flashed aokp b33 to my GN. I tried aokp in my last NS too. similar unstability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hosmsdos:
can you share the link plz

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slick_rick:
Any update for build 34 tablet mod for legacy devices? Take your time Xylo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abhi021:
help on keyboard

I am on AOKP B31, installed the hach version of nova launcher, swift key 3 keyboard. I selected the swift key3 keyboard from settings. However I still facing the same default stretched out keyboard.

How do I make changes to keyboard ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
want to try cm9 mod.

Is this file what I need? "TabletUI_MOD_CM9 (flash via recovery) "

Do I need wipe factory default? Or just cache+dalvik cache?

pls advice :D thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
are you on nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
yes

edit: gn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
dont make it too hard for yourself. tabletmode is just a tiny tweak in build.prop, nothing more. it does not matter when you drop what. you could just switch and see if you need anything at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
then why do you want to install that zip? just install cm9 and its done. it was made for legacy devices, you know, people who aren't as lucky as you are because all you need to do is follow the instructions in the op and you'll get tabmode + status/nav-bar. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angelossssss:
Thanks.

I'll wait for the packet :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
are you gsm or cdma? im building the first baseversion today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
ic ic. thx!

I thought the zip replaced the steps in the OP.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

I am using the 0423 nightly. When your rom is done, can I flash it over my cm9 without wiping data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fabrizioo2007:
I've got a s2...is this zip compatible with my device?I'm running cm9 stock nighly 23-4....so i have to flash this zip and I don't set anything in the rom?(like changing dpi to 128 before flashing the zip)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
you should use his topic for questions. support him by supporting his topic. its getting really confusing right now, i can't be sure whos on nexus and whos not, guy above you almost flashed an s2 framework. ;;]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i guess. but you just try and if it crashes you wipe. i always do it like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
For cm9 you need the zip if not you won't have a status bar in tablet mode... Change dpi then flash the zip right after... I was on a mission cuz cm9 doesn't the controls in the power widget
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
Cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
Tablet mode for B34 is up on rootzwiki..

I agree and am very sorry to make a mess of this thread...

That said... maybe this is better for the general section for that matter.. There is just so much good ingormation here..

Will think about it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abhi021:
I did try B34 in tablet mode and there is still an issue with soft navigation key.

Here's the screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballaz:
molesarecoming or Xylograph im sorry but i do not know who made the modded 2.3.6 market apk. i wanted to know can i jus extract the vending.apk and put in in my system folder or do i need to flash it through recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
both. watch out though, vending in 4.0.4 is now called phonesky. i'd do it by hand to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
sucks :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
stupid virtual box, its compiling forrr evvveerrrrrr. i have already begun to rewrite ICS/CM9 to adapt it to our devices. over time i plan to do alot, iron out all the little layout kinks and more. if this thing goes through today i'll upload it later, maguro though because tuna will take another night to bake. well, IF it goes through that is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
Disable menu button and add a custom menu button in the nav bar. It'll be there all the time but it works well.

Anyone else having issues with Nova Launcher_1.1.2beta2. I am getting "Unfortunately, Nova Launcher has stopped"

I'm on CM9 Kang April 25.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
What is that clock/weather widget?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
today's rom will have:

- based on freshest cm9 repo

- tab mode by default, no more build.prop editing

- probably fixed original android keyboard

- probably fixed recents window, bigger, hopefully closer to stock

- larger notification area

- fixed clock size, overlaps no more

- 2 notification icons max in portrait to prevent them from overlapping the menu button

- weird gaps between notification panels should be no more

- settings comes as the first entry in the panel, i hate to scroll down to reach it

all of these changes were made blind because its still compiling (8 hours and still going, holy crap!!!), please wish me luck that this won't grill my nexus as i'll first test it before i release it into the wild.

and im still looking for partners. this has potential, dont have to tell you right? i need help with all the git stuff, i know code but i dont know linux and all those tools. i'd also like to know more about the emulator.

delete it from /system/app restart and install it like a normal app. i couldn't just drop it aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
Fancy widget
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chiensibut:
i cant wait still the CWM flashable rom, mayne i'm so noob i can't even do it myself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seakins:
Thanks for this! Has seriously changed the look and outlook of my phone!

Only issue I find is some games eg: Temple run force close.

Also thought cornerstone would be quite a laugh if it could work in tab mode on the phone :D

Also theres an app on the play store called LCD density modder that will fix your market permanently. That's what I use. Just follow the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
compiled through, first test without changes applied works but the screen has a horrible greenish tint. i could fix it in settings/advanced - but does anyone know why this happens?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
Has there been any word yet on a release for a finished CM9 from the original devs?

Also, in the Nighly builds can you toggle the navigation bar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
its up and running, in the dev section. i guess we can pretty much end this topic then. there's nothing more we can do. with real code i have alot more options than before and can actually shape tabmode into something that makes sense. keyboard does not work? no more looking for alternatives on the market, we can just recompile it and fix those bugs. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
If you guys want tablet mode with no problems get cm9 full screen YouTube and all its flawless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballaz:
no CDMA love?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h22man:
OK now I'm confused? Where is the dev section? If we are ending this topic then were do I go to look for your roms and tab mode updates?

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

Never mind. Link is is op :/.. but not toro??.. cdma needs love.. considering most are cdma.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
coming. but building takes a looooooooooong time on my machine. for this one i've sat 13-14 hours, or longer. i do not yet understand this linux b/s, its horrible. i wasted several nights because of a wrong keypress and it deleted my repo or started to compile again. im a little afraid that when i choose tuna from the brunch menu that he'll trash everything again. so i'll have to try it at night or a days work is wasted. it will come for sure though, don't worry - tomorrow or a couple of days.

and as i wrote in the op, we came quite far but all our endeavors are limited if all we can do is play around with smali or fishing alternatives from the market. code is way more powerful and can actually enable us to really make a difference. i invite everyone to help or build a team.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwayman:
I love this mod. I have an att gs2. Xylo thanks for your awesome mod to enable us non gnex owners capable of this. Been using this for a while now too. 1 weird thing for me though is I'm on aokp 34 now. Was on 33 and 32. The only mod that works is the 32 one. I get this weird start process thing that I can't get passed on the mod for 33 and 34. But I flash 32 and all is fine. Oh well. As long as I can run tablet mode I'm good. Thanks again for making this achievable on other phones.

Phone FC

Hi everything works fine exept i keep getting FC's with the phone.apk. I push the one in the OP but it doesn't work. I'm on ARHD 4.0 with de lastest build. Can someone help me plz?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
Can you tell me more about the 'start process thing' and what phone you are using the mod with ?

Be aware that with aokp b33 & b34 you can hide the navigation bar in tablet mode which means if you have the Navigation bar disabled in phone mode.. you won't see anything regarding the Navigation/Statusbar when switching to tablet mode ;)

Just make sure you to enable 'show navigation bar toggle' in the power menu settings.

Have you checked out rsalinas1 thread ?

It's a mod..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
Dear moles,

is it possible to provide a single mod for combo bar? The combo saves spaces.

Can the nav keys be customized? Let users to select what to be included? I missed the menu and search keys of my nexus s.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
customizing the nav keys is something that maybe could be made in future but i'd need help with this one because i have never written android code before and it will need some sdk knowledge.

my plan is to pull this thing through in three stages:

layout, make tablet mode fit into our phones. this will include fixes like standard keyboard, phone dialer, recents window closer to stock, better looking notification center without the glitches like overlapping elements, etc.

system, at some point i will try to get that per app dpi thing going, this would heal normal apps which then could run in their default configuration without shrinking. maybe i'll look at that treshold aswell to bring it down a bit so that we could have tablet mode in dpi 240 instead. i fear though that this will kill tablet layout in most apps, so this is just a consideration for for.

interface, something like rom-control, with settings to play with. this i wouldn't start alone because i dont have the time but if people want to help out we could start a small team and get to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
Thx! Congratulation to u for being a rom Baker! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lemonspeakers:
Does not work on AOKP B34.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] udhhay:
can this be ported to nexus s

i love this mod it looks so cool :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwayman:
@xylo. I'm using aokp 34. I have a galaxy s2 but the att version. The start process thing says something like go to settings, manage applications, enable. When you try to do it it just goes back to the same thing saying enable first. Can't get past it. Won't let you. So since your mod for 32 worked on aokp 32 I flashed that over aokp 34 and it works. Don't get that annoying enable this message thing. I will try and be a little more specific next time it happens. Tablet mode is working fine right now the way it is.

need special ROM, not really surpport.

wish NOVA really surpport GOOGLE FACTORY ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
every rom can drop into tabmode. some do better than others though, aosp and cm9 do really well, aokp on the other hand does really bad. just configure your rom and see what it does, maybe youre lucky. nova can of course run everywhere, doesnt matter if stock or not. the only limitation is that it needs root if you want that widget drawer, but thats not their fault at all but googles. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neuteboomt:
I tried tabmode on my Rooted Sprint Galaxy Nexus using Nova launcher(stock ROM). Everything works minus being able to make calls until I push the phone.apk in this thread to the phone. When I push the phone.apk and reboot I receive the hidden menu error and no signal. When I try to go into phone settings it crashes. I tried it also on winner00 CM9 Kang rom with the same issue.

Has any Sprint Galaxy Nexus got this to work on their phone?

is ls based on aokp? they seem to have the same issues then. use cm9 or use paranoidandroid with whatever kernel you like, gives you a better experience for tabmode.
