phone works fine, its not cut. you're still running your old cached phone or something. as i wrote before, it somehow clings to the OS, i had to delete data and cache in the app manager, forceclose it, push it, wipe caches in CWM, push it again, ignore warnings, ...and at some point android finally accepted it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Upstreammiami:
Ok what lol clear data of the app push it root explorer then clear cache in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
dude, im stuck in f*****g smali code and my head pounds from being exposed to that stuff. its hellish. i adjusted the op text a little bit to reflect what i want to achieve with this thread. i can give support to some degree and i love to but im more interested in actual help right now, to push this thing forward. i understand that many of the steps outlined are vague, and if its too much just wait until a good soul sees the potential in this and cooks a readymade hybrid ROM. :)

btw,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Downloaded latest vending apk, deleted the old one, wiped cache and copied the new one to the system/app folder and in was finally able to download Google +
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
nice! right now i find all the stuff i've been trying to find for ages. asphalt 6, catlog, androzip, angrybirds, total pool, quipe, etc. and all of them downloaded flawless. weirdest thing is, the yellow boxes on plays web-frontend telling me that my nexus isn't compatible changed into green ones saying all is fine.country restrictions still do apply though, i can't access play/books/movies. i'll try to squash it tomorrow. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Thanks! There's still some apps not showing up for me like legendary heroes/ beautiful widgets/google plus etc. Also the newest nova launcher is still listed as 103beta2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Now using apex again, looks loads better with no dock to me, and app drawer scrolls smoother, not to ,mention 10x10 home screens. No landscape, but I don't use it anyway for my launcher

Out of curiosity, can anyone post the latest swype apk? I get the resolution error

Edit: got it from another thread, not sure if its the latest version or not but I'll give it a go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
Could i get that apex apk? i cant find it and i dont like nova to well. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mchj:
Nice

thx! works fine

Straight from market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
That works with tablet mode unmodded? I thought the screen was to small or something. ill try that one too

edit: Does any laucher besides Nova use the whole screen? i Thought there was a modded apk up here at one point. and why did they change launchers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Works for me. I've noticed a few home screen redraws, may be unrelated to tablet mode. In really don't mind though. All I did was set it to 10x10, set the transparency of my app drawer to my liking, and may force portrait as landscape is odd, but maybe that can be fixed with a different grid size
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
Im still trying to get my data and market at the same time lol

EDIT: solved that now i need to purchase apps haha. and cant use nova prime because market says invalid key, market also wont buy apps on phone.

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

And i have one more question. Is apex unable to have a dock bar in Tablet mode?

---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

And now my statusbar and navbar wont pop up. The system ui force closes every ten seconds. it was all working then poof. down the ****ter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
I have been following this thread for a while now as this looks amazing and i feel it will look just as great on the Note.. We are lucky, our tablet mode kicks in at 213 which is small but not unreadable or anything.

I just wanted to say thanks to the op and everyone who is working on this... I am trying to bribe any developer i can to do this for our Note. Great progress has been made and i truly feel this will be very popular on upcoming high res devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
apex unmodyfied looks like crap in tablet mode is how i see it. if you like shrunk icons, silly huge screen without a dock, overcrowded with icons, cut in half app drawer, well, what can i say - i made the mod as an optional part of course but this entire thing here has one purpose, to retain the aesthetics of a phone and ics of course.

im getting a little tired of this because it does not help. yes, go ahead and use it, make your tiny phone a tablet - but this is definitively not the thread for you because im trying hard to focus on hybrid mode, not tablet mode. i will recommend currentweb's threads, he's doing a superman job of unlocking tablet for all the famous roms out there. :)

try wiping your caches, maybe that helps

yes, first launcher that got hacked was apex. but apex gave much resistance and had many errors under tablet mode which nova did not have. i felt it is time to switch because i don't see myself bugfix a third-party-app that doesn't have a native setting for that. btw, please vote here, with luck nova gets one, who knows.

yes, it is unable to. you can make do with the old hack we made. say a word and i'll upload it, but bear in mind that nova works WAY better now, can show grids and stacks, etc.

you didn't hide your navigation bar. if one of the first steps is missing system.ui will complain. its not enough to make it transparant or whatever, it must go and the dpi must reach at least 192.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
hey, great to hear! 213 is awesome, i wish we had that on our nexus. but this entire thread is applicable to your note of course as it is. i wish xda had something like symlinks hehe, we could simply reflect it over there. all the hacks are apk's so they will work on any phone. if you like just replicate it and see who's willing to come aboard. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
make sure you wipe all caches, in app manager (play market: clear data & clear cache) and in cwm (wipe cache/partition & advanced/wipe dalvik cache). im getting gplus and i can download. i never could before. :)

beautiful widgets - check

legendary heroes - check
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
They do work but i get fc in touchwiz and the dock doesn't show up. Otherwise yes the launchers and apps work really well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
install aokp or cm9. afik its no ics anymore, they changed the framework for touchwiz so who knows how it will react to the changes that tablet mode introduces. whatever you do, keep us posted, it would be cool to make it a general mod since many high density phones are coming out and hybrid/tablet mode will surely become more important. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Yes and will do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
Would it be possible to get a dock without the giant icons...they look horendously out of place on my screen. ty for the great guide tho.​
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
screenshot?it should look like stock nova. look at the screenshots on the op, if somethings different it's a cache issue.

this is launcher2 on stock, hacked nova icons should have the same size

in comparisation they seem to have a tad less padding though, makes stock look more sleek. i'll see to it and update today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Thanks for the response. I did all that and still don't get those apps :x.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Phone app seems to be working at 160. Totally usable after switching the text to huge and all the apps I have been using seem fine as well....Some text is small but not a problem for me...

The advantage of this is you do not have to worry about a modded market and then every time it gets updated you need to worry about fixing it again.

Everything just works at this density which is great!

The one app that still won't recognize the device as a table though is Go Launcher HD which is built for tablets. Anyone have any luck with it? I would like to give it a spin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
aw man that really sucks. i seriously don't know what i can still do at this point as it works perfect now for me and i can't reproduce it. i suggest you try out a bunch of market-mods and -hacks, xda has dozens of em. with luck something will work. also try market enabler and unlocker.

minor update

fixed some spacing issues, better overscroll effect

https://rapidshare.com/files/1900383500/NovaLauncher_1.0.3beta2.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
No, and it seems to be compeletely the launchers fault, as in it works, but the launcher quits on purpose for no reason except physical screen size. Ive emailed the dev god knows how many times, comments on posts in website etc. People with ICS+Note have same issue cuz their scree is sub-7 inches too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
Im not sure how well you can tell with the screen shots, but attached anyways.

For easy comparison, both screen shots have an app drawer icon in the bottom left corner.

(The one with just 2 icons is the one with the mod downloaded from this thread, all the icons are the exact same size, so the icons from the other screenshot should be same size, but instead are a bit smaller).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Wasn't trying to step on your toes by posting it, I just prefer no dock and it worked fine for me.

Here's an old screenshot of mine, I'll probably do something similar so the minimal look helps me out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
are you on 192? its optimized for that value only. on 192 it should pretty much be the same as stock. although the nav tiny navbar does indeed make the icons look huge in comparisation. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
no worries, i guess i was a little grumpy because i sat a night in front of that play marked. :D

but what you have there doesn't look like tablet mode at all still - i see a status bar up there - do you get all the nice treats with that? 2 columns in your settings, etc.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
That was just an old screenshot, I plan on doing a similar layout in tab mode.

Also, would like to let you know your work is much appreciated. This is really nice change and you've put a lot of effort into making it work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
O no, i switched to 160 a few days back..that makes sense then. I found a phone.apk that works with 160 DPI, and i just LOVE the extra screen space. Although I keep missing the buttons sometimes (it sounds hilarious, but its true, i go to hit back and i hit home by accident).

That makes sense then. Still, would it be possible to either do only the dockbar stuff on normal nova, or tell me what the person who did the mod did? Since Nova Launcher from market works perfect except for dock...

OR somebody manages to hack GO Launcher HD..at this point, i've tried contacting the devs so many times that hacking it seems the only logical option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] o.m:
to bugi

can't add widgets from home screen like i use to...

i just hope some rom crew will add the status bar at bottom.

narf... back to my sweet aokp 31 :o

Thanks anyway for cool idea :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
made some shiny new snapshots on the op to showcase our baby. :)

sure you can. you probably installed nova as a user app - no ics launcher can add widgets just like that, they need to root rights. you'll have to adb-push it into /system/app. or if you mean adding them through that dropdown-list, that works aswell - look at the screenshots man, these are widgets. ;)

yeah that explains it. 160 is crazy, some buttons give me trouble on 192 even. a few pages back i posted what i did and even made a scheme. with this you can modify every ics launcher. including the dock in your case would simply mean you have to copy a file (res\layout\launcher.xml to res\layout-sw600dp-port\launcher.xml - that's it). the cut in half-appdrawer is harder to fix but its laid out in the scheme aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] o.m:
i just did..

i did it, put it in system/app use with root explorer even did the install from it.

even superuser approved it got root...

I'll be grateful to have more ways to fix it, thanks for the quick response :)

______________________________________________________________ _ _ _

thank you...now i know how important that wipe cache and data issue!

now i can calmly continue design it peacefully XD

but i hope some rom crew pick up the gauntlet and will add this option.

peace, 0ut :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
nej, you just drop it there and thats that. no install whatsoever. make sure the chmod restrictions are correct, should be rw-, r--, r-- . before all that make sure all old installations are gone. you might want to go to your app manager and wipe cache and data after you dropped it lest you run into layout issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duykhang524:
What is that clock in that image? looks so sick I've always wondered
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Alarm icon is gone... anyway to get it back?

Thanks for the mod!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
When I push the phone.apk and reboot my service goes away. How do I fix that? I'm using the one compatible with 160 dpi and using root browser to push it to system app. Anyone know why I don't get service with other phone.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
Also the other phone doesn't even seem to install when I push it then reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yeah strange, didn't even notice. alarm works though but i don't think we can do sth about that icon since its a rom thing for sure.

i haven't tried 160. 192 and it works. needs some good violence though, cache cleaning, forceclosures, double adb pushes. the steps outlined in the op work for me.

still, why 160? you all must have super good eyes and super thin fingers. i dont get it, how in the world can you deal with apps like skype when its so damn tiny. :D

could be chmod settings (must be rw-, r--, r--), could be caches still.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
I'll try when I get home from school. I can't seen to get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
i tried it but nothing changed. Im using Cm9 with Xperia Play
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
you need to find your threshold. 192 is for nexus only. you can calculate it, look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23575259&postcount=36
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
something strange, in the home screen, i am missing the "google" at the top left corner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
You need to make it so the searchbar on top its in the settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
nova settings/desktop/persistent search bar = always ;)

...

woops, tim was quicker - anyways, ive put it in the op
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tyrany:
Probably its around 120dpi but cant say for sure, try it if the system ui fc then its a no no only solution is compile, try the 120 dpi and post results
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
it has 480 short size dp, right? then it shoud be 128. a fc would be a good sign i guess. but i have no idea what to do then. i tried to unlock my gf's s2 recently but it has these damned hardware buttons and im not sure tablet mode likes that. her rom (aokp b31) allows me to enable the navigation bar but still i got fc's after rebooting with 120 & no navigation bar. im guessing it'll the same on all hardwarebutton-crippled devices. an option would be to study the aokp/cm9 source, we posted already the pieces of code in aosp that are responsible for it. they must have changed parts of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hyorinmaru:
When someone calls me I get an error saying com.android.phone has stopped.

I was able to call people before this but not anymore. I've installed the hacked phone.apk like 100times and cleared the caches everytime and still the same error.

I can call people until someone calls me. I dont get what I do wrong but it's seems to me that the phone.apk does not get installed.

I'm using gnex toolbox 5.6 to install it.

Help would great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
use adb or root explorer. make sure the permissions are correct! make sure it goes to /system/app, wipe caches in cwm, wipe cache & data in app manager, double push if you have to. try to follow all the steps outlined in the op.

it works 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniele223:
I need some help...I like tablet mode but I have a lot of problem...I have installed new phone.apk but it crash when call me and unfortunately i can't install nova launcher 1.0.3..I have nova launcher 1.0.2 with rom AOKP 31 and i can not erase this in order to install the 1.0.3

Sorry for my bad bad english... :-P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Should be related to your launcher. Are you using the latest nova posted here?

Oops, already answered..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Have you tried deleting it from /system/app? You can use root explorer, estrongs, or adb even if you want. Just delete the old nova apk from /system/app and then paste the new one there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hyorinmaru:
Here's what i did now.

1. Downloaded root explorer.

2. Installed phone.apk

3. cwm wipe cache

4. clear cache & data in app manager

5. installed again.

Result: the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniele223:
To delete the old phone.apk?i not found this in system/app...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chino0131:
I had this issue as well. I had to use on of the older phone.apk's that were on this thread awhile ago and didnt have the issue anymore. I'll see if I can load it somewhere for you to donwload and post a link. Cant gurantee it will work for you, but it did for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
the old one was straight from aokp Droid incredible b28. when 404 came it had this awful cut off though. I assumed the new one would just work no matter what but maybe this one is only friendly with b30 and 31, who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chino0131:
Been following your thread for awhile now, and first let me say I love this mod. I have downloaded two phone.apk's since I've been using this mod (now three counting the most recent one, unless its the same as one from several updates ago when you still had the modded apex launcher). Different Roms reacted differently depending which phone.apk i used... i would have to mix and match.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
Don't install the phone apk. Move it to /system/app and replace the one there already
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hyorinmaru:
I placed the phone.apk in /system/app/ and then installed it. A friend did this. Worked for him. That was with the old apk though. I'll try with what you wrote and if that does not work I'll try with the old apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
simply placing it there is enough :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chino0131:
What ROM are you running? 4.0.3 base, or 4.0.4 base? When I had the issue you experience, I had to switch between two seperate phone.apks depending upon the base of the ROM I was using
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I finally installed swype, but its tiny. Did I miss something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
cache cache cache, rotate it to landscape, etc. think of it, all these apps live under safe standard dpi, build their caches there, ..and you violently disrupt their peace by putting them into a strange context. all of them can act strange but once you get them working they'll adapt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inkdrink:
Sorry to be off-topic, but where did those off-center Androidify-looking wallpapers come from? I love them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rafa6571:
I'm not god at maths :P... So can anybody calculate the lcd density for a galaxy player 5?

800×480 px, 5.0 in (12.7 cm) WVGA TFT LCD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
I did it but my status bar still same ? And not bottom of screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
that is androidify, it comes with a super cool live wallpaper. they move in the background and you can tap them then they'll wink. :)

should be 128. but i guess that thing has hardware buttons so i dont know if it will work because i know for sure it is related to our softwarebuttonbar somehow. if it doesnt work the only thing you could do is study the cm9 source for your plattform to find out what they changed.

its only our guess that it should work but i have yet to see it. try lower dpi's or ask for devs in your subforum to help you with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rafa6571:

I have on-screen buttons activated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Tried rotating, etc... still small. I've been getting resolution messages telling me to contact swype.. no go so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
To be honest this tablet layout is useless apps that work on gnex normally are not available on the market anymore its stupid ... best example IMDB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duykhang524:
I think a mod in the build prop could fix it because the market shows apps based on infos stored there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
its a general issue with that market. everywhere on this forum people change their dpi and they all have to deal with it. you can either complain or do something about it. many issues got fixed through our combined efforts and many still exist but that's why i wrote in the op that this is an ongoing developer project. you cant download imdb? just go back to your old dpi then or live with it until one of use finds a way to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniele223:
Sorry how to set permission to paste the new apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
you mean chmod? root explorer can do it by tapping it. for adb it shouldnt be necessary. to be honest i have never worried about it. i just wrote it there to make people think twice before they say stuff dosn't work. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
do you have more information about this? or could you provide me with a link? i'd try fixing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
maybe try the ics themed apk that one of us posted a few pages back. all i can say is that i know for sure swype works and many people have confirmed it. i had an issue in the beginning, too - it was tiny almost, but it went away. now im using it for longer than a month and it works flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniele223:
I do this with root explorer (tapping) but nothing is changing...HELP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
btw, guys - im new to xda, is this even the right subforum for that kind of stuff? people seem to misunderstand and think this is some kind of ready-made pill for everything. my intention was to work on the problems that arise, nothing more, hoping that others would do that aswell for their devices. unless someone cooks it into a rom i dont think it will ever be stable for all since our foundations and roms are diverse.

um, longpress maybe? : D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniele223:
Yess...I tap and set also write but after i tap ok, nothing is changing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I'd say its the right subforum...just some people can't read, or aren't willing to fix something themselves. Can't expect everything to just be done for you now can we?

Anyway, I'll give the swype theme a shot. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fingerdance:
Ty for awesome tweak !!! But it make battery drain a little more, so nvm :D
