again, tablet mode is a natural feature of asop. ics has tablet functionality by itself, part of which is exclusively broken in aokp right now. all they wanted is to make things better and a couple bugs are normal. they'll probably be gone in the next milestone.

for this thing here though, which serves as a showcase and source of inspiration for devs out there, i tried to make the instructions as general as i could, i won't focus on a rom anymore. that warning in the op is simply meant to lessen a wave of incoming errorreports that are not our fault at all.

i'll recommend a rom though. a good one for tablet mode is my experience cm9 (and i say that after having spent a long time in aokp). cm9 compared to aokp in tabmode:

no crashing phone

no app install crash

no add wallpaper crash

no trebuchet crashes, you can't lock yourself out

no tablet related quirks like spacing and sizing

no weird workarounds like stuffing obsolete buttons into the navbar to make something work

no trouble to go automatically into real fullscreen (gallery, youtube, cam, probably netflix, etc.)

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slick_rick:
I will let him know if hes in the irc chat tonight.

Xylo: the cm9 zip worked thank you very much. No FC's whatsoever
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Loop:
Yep, I agree with you. Changed icons with zipthemer and everythings now spot on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myrdog:
Gave it a try.

1. used the prepackaged rom and the keyboard kept crashing.

2. used last night's CM9 release and the Gapps package. No gmail, and a few others missing.

Back on LiquidSmooth.

I'd really love to try this out soon. Just want things to be more stable and a bit better explained. Hope you get this packaged into a nice stable ROM at some point soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
you dont need to switch roms. why not trying it on liquidsmooth? its an extremely simple edit. is it that build.prop stuff that puts you off? then search on the market for a build.prop editor, there are many that'll do the job. installing the apk's is easy too, at least if you know how to deal with either adb or root explorer. gnex toolkit can do it, too.

the newest google apps packages from goo-inside never come with gmail, thats completely normal and expected. they actually exclude everything that you can download in the market. it takes you a second to go into play and download these apps. this will be the default for all roms now, probably including LS. :)

about the rom, yeah im doing my experiments currently. even right now im compiling cm9. but im just gathering experience, do not expect something too soon if anything at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
Wallpaper size

For density = 192 on the galaxy nexus

The wallpaper size is 2260 x 1440

The home screen size is 810 x 1440

I've attached a template for the size
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
awesome! i'll put it up, thanks so much! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prouden:
works it on the SGS II with Resurrection Remix ics v1.5 aokp 33
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myrdog:
Gave it a try on LiquidSmooth. "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". I can get into it as long as I don't launch it from the App drawer it seems though.

Also, the nav buttons don't space out nicely like they do on your screenshots.

Opening Facebook crashes SystemUI. It does the super miniature nav icons, adds the normal size menu icon, then just dies.

All that aside, it looks really sharp. I would like the nav menu to be a bit taller, and a few other things. But that's all just in an ideal world. The three things I mentioned above are what's gonna force me to revert to 320 for now though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] area4689:
will this work with AT&T i717 Note? If so, I want to know if it will work if I FLASH A ROM BASED ON AOKP B31? I understand there are three download links maguro, toro, gapps. should i install them in order? or are there any differences between the three whatsoever? thanks for the reply.

sorry for the question, but i appreciate the help. this Hybrid Mode looks really great and I want to try it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Night Galaxy:
I installed the phone app, but it is not working. Also the modified market isn't. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
hm thats weird. i had none of it on aokp and cm9. except the button spacing on aokp. i'd suggest you give it a last go with cm9 then. really all that was missing from last time was an additional gmail download from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
both need some heavy cache wiping. cwm + settings/apps/all/everything that looks like market or a phone/wipe cache + wipe data + forceclose. then maybe push it over again. the market has kinks, i never got it to work perfectly, but then again, no market hack i haver tried has worked perfectly. so better make backups. if that's no good go with cm9, everything will work right away, you install two apk's there: market & keyboard (< from play) and you're good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h22man:
Ok. Right now I'm using aokp 31 but I here moles talking about using cm9.. well I have a question. What cm9 are you using? I downloaded the latest nightly. And it gives me no option to go into dpi settings or to remove the dock and notifications bar. And when I user my dpi app and changed it to 192 my dock and notification bar disappeares all together. So how exactly are you going into tablet mode on cm9? And what cm9 are you using and can you post a link please?.. and I don't understand what build prop is lol. I'm a noob. But I want to change from build 31.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saintsmmx:
Tablet mode should work with the Galaxy Note, but you will have to calculate the right dpi to toggle ICS's built in tablet function, and the original post has a link to a formula I believe.

No matter what you do DO NOT flash Maguro or Toro roms on your Note, those are simply ICS Roms for the GSM and LTE Galaxy Nexus, respectively. To toggle Tablet Mode on your note, make sure you have root access (your phone is rooted), and edit your build.prop file if your ROM is not based on AOKP and dpi cannot be changed in Settings.

Once you have set the right dpi, reboot and Tablet Mode should be turned on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
download the latest nightly + latest gapps package, install both, wipe data + cache + dalvik. now all you need to do is edit a tiny little file that is stored under /system/build.prop. on the market you'll find editors for it. the instructions are on the op. aokp allows you to do that in rom control which is pretty cool but since 33 that does not work anymore so i took it out of the description. build.prop is a more general way that should for for most roms. still, b31 works fine, you might aswell stay there.

i guess i'll try setting up a rom as fast as i can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saintsmmx:
How's your experience on CM9 so far? You've mentioned that you're pleased that there aren't as many crashes and such, but Cyanogen is really lagging behind now on the feature front, although they have AOKP beat on Fullscreen in tablet mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i thought its just a bunch of empty stubs but you can already customize alot so its quite nice. the things ive seen so far: statusbar mods, battery styles, volume panel, quiet hours, brightness levels, volume wake, color tweaking, cpu tweaking and some other things. its not as featurepacked as aokp but it runs well and handles tabmode exceptionally well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinos3:
[REQ] Make flashable rom for crespo ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Have you figured out which combination of apk's you need for it to work with your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
Nova Launcher got updated with the tablet/phone hybrid-mode fixes. Now we don't need the launcher hacks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] {ROn1N}:
yup I upgraded to 1.1.1 earlier and so far so good! the added options for the dock and having a functional dock in both portrait and landscape are really nice.

I also thought I'd give CM9 a try and it's looking good. As molesarecoming said, it's not as feature packed and tweakable as AOKP but it seems like a real solid ROM and doesn't screw up the soft keys like AOKP or others do in tablet mode.

that being said I've hit a couple of snags already... nothing major though. whenever I try to access the "access point names" menu I get an error, and some of the menus in settings don't follow the tablet's 2-pane layout.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] david279:
Anybody having issues with chrome while running this? Mine keeps FCing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ajj915:
OK so I just switched from aokp to CM9. Gotta say...smooth with not one problem. Thanks molesarecoming for everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
i've cm9 too.

is the tablet mode have no problems on cm9?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chardd23:
there is no auto hide on latest cm9 build. is the auto hide necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
Great !

Have fun with it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hosmsdos:
any updates regarding playing full screen mod in videos and youtube?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Sure, read the last couple of pages, it works. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Oh yessssss! Thx again to you guys and everyone who helped voting! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Nope, must be something else. Chrome even got itself a complete tablet overhaul recently. Deinstall, install newest version from play, maybe wipe data and cache in settings/apps/chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Well, it has less. You find a list a couple of pages back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
It probably appears only in tabmode, it is not necessary but better if its there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinos3:
yes but im on cm9 , and not have many free time :(

anybody try this on crespo ?

and after flash this mod on 128 dpi will i need to flash modificated apps (i have 240dpi device) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
if you have unlocked tab mode see what works and what doesn't. the apk's should be plattform independent. you dont flash them though, follow the instructions on the op to install them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
i'm on cm9 (galaxy nexus) and i can confirm i have ZERO problems and it runs smooth!

when i had aokp i had so many force close and bugs.

i'm more than glad i'm with cm9 for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hosmsdos:
nice you said that its working fine on CM9, any idea if it works all good with Skankwich GSM Kang.

Thank You.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
no idea, probably not, but you're two build.prop edits away from finding out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
for those of you who haven't noticed, nova 1.1 is out and oh yeah it is tablet mode ready, thanks to your votes. ;)

here's an impression:

for those of you who like more space its perfect. throw 6 icons in there instead of 5 and its nicely padded out.

so whats left are just small blemishes, already made a writeup in their thread. i guess until the icons are still smaller than stock i'll keep the hack myself but i'll link nova on the OP later this day and take it off when beta 1.2 comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
Ok another addition to this for the users still on AOKP with the buttons crammed together..

I found out that if you leave the icon picture of the first button set to default the trick doesn't work..

Try this :

- 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.

Great news and it's getting better already ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kizaros2g:
i can confirm that this mod does not work with latest skankwich. i dont what mess it up, but system ui is fc and there is no nav bar/notification bar at the bottom :)

flash lastest cm9 and my phone become hybrid :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Loop:
Haha, awesome dude! You nailed it. This worked perfectly :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
way cool - i'll put it up in the hints section! :)

btw, does that also fix the weird rectangular buttonglow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xylograph:
unfortunately not :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
this is how it looks on mine:

well, let's see how 34 turns out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Loop:
It looks distorted at first, but when I rebooted my phone it looks good, exactly like in mole's screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] david279:
Don't know. Tried that but it still fc. Its like it doesn't understand to switch to tablet mode.

On the other hand I have a older version that does work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] david279:
By the way I'm on the crespo 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
so you're on nexus s, maybe it has something to do with that? and have you tried going back to default dpi looking how it behaves there? i know that my girlfriend had some trouble with it, chrome would crash on her s2 pretty often but i have no idea why and how.

works just fine me, only thing that sucks are the new tabs up there, hate them, especially that tiny little x. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] david279:
I know its alot to ask but can you upload your current chrome apk to a drop box link or something. The latest version. I want to see if that works. Maybe it default to tablet mode. My chrome only seems to go to phone mode. I'm also on cm9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
That's what I need. Was wondering go or not go. Thx for sharing!

What should I do if I want to try? Just flash the mod? Need factory reset?

I am using cm9 latest nightly.

Edit: using gn too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h22man:
Does cm9 not have an option to sync fb contacts? I love cm9 in tab mode but no fb sync is killing me. Anyone know a way around that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
never tried dropbox sharing before, does it work?: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mcng1q40f29btja/com.android.chrome-1.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
what do you have, gsm? are you brave enough to try my compiled result? i'll include everything, apk's and set it to tabmode by default. :)

otherwise just install the latest nightly, then gapps. factory reset is a must if you're coming from another rom, cache & dalvik wipe of course afterwards.

yes, haxsync. haven't tried it but heard its better because it can sync highres images aswell, not that mush we had before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] david279:
Thanks but it didn't work. I'm guessing this is either a CM9 issue or a issue with my device being the crespo 4G and it not being authorized for chrome tablet UI. But the old chrome API works so oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h22man:
Just tried it. Works great. Only downfall is that it doesn't sync phone numbers. Maybe future updates it will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaF1974:
I'm using AOKP beta 33 with 192 dpi. I use ADWlauncher and SwiftKey instead of the patched apps in OP. Almost everything is running fine except for Play Store. I installed the version mentioned in 3.2 in the OP and followed the instructions regarding rights, formatting cache and deleting old App settings.

Initially I could see all my installed apps, however, after a few restarts I can only see about half on the main tab and the rest in random order on the All tab. I'm getting App updates and can open and install new apps.

I have downloaded the application and copied it over again and also deleted cache and settings a few times. Any idea what else I could try? Are there other application versions which might work?

Any help is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i have some mixed experiences with it. theres still something that goes beyond what market hacks can do. they store something on their servers that prevents apps from showing up. i tried just about each and every hack that exists on xda, all will at some point do down and show only half of what i have. the the only solution i have right now is using either a fresh gmail account or trying to

kill the old one and set it up anew. we'll see, maybe some day we'll have something better but for now thats a major gripe, that stupid damned market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hosmsdos:
finally installed CM and everything is working great, just when i click on auto hide in system setting everything becomes full screen which is great but the camera app stays hidden any work around for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaF1974:
Ironically all apps are showing up now. I just let it settle for an hour and they were back. If you say that it also happens to you and might change over time we just have to keep our fingers crossed that Google decide to make it compatible when changing dpi settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
Tapping it means setting focus. You get out by longpressing the powerbutton instead. The navigationbar will then appear, press home and youre out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hosmsdos:
thanks:D do you know if there is a theme or something that can change the recent app look, its very small
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
I can compile cm9 now and started hacking away. Unfortunately i made an error and now hes compiling again for hoursssss. Expect the first rom in the coming days. I'll try solving stuff like that recents window and other things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinos3:
Cm9 mod not working on crespo 3g . After flash dont have open boot animation..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] david279:
try this. Worked for me on the latest night on the crespo 4g. Just set dpi to 128 and run nova launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
yes, using GSM. will try your compilation later. thx! It's 4am in HK now. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellydroid13:
is there anyway to get Youtube to had the navbar when watching videos like it does in phone mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Switched to cm9 and all is well so far, but in the xda app I have no way to hit the menu button. on aokp, I could use nav buttons from the power menu, is there an option like that in cm9? Also... does the status bar seem just a little taller than in aokp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angelossssss:
Thanks for the reply but i'm new to android. I just started developing apps.

If you could please be more specific on what to do exactly.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gamefreakgcb:
This is cool. I have CM9 up and running. My apps restored fine from TB and only the dialer looks slightly weird. Getting a Note in a few days and I can't wait to try this mod on there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tyrany:
Somebody experiencing phone FC with modded app? Tried with 2 modded apks all the cache clean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
can you make screenshots? apps that use the menu button should be supported still, i see three dots appearing down there. status bar is the same size as far as i can notice. i made some screenshots with aokp and cm9, dont see a difference. :)

...

i just installed it, does this thing even have a dedicated menu, and what does it do? i see none ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i'll fix that stuff soon, with a real rom. but for me its hellish right now, all that stupid linux stuff, i hate it. now when i finally figured out how to build for the emulator to test my code, after two nights of compiling, i reached the size of my virtual box and can do everything again - duh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
edit a file called "build.prop" that lies in your system folder. im also new to android, but its really simple, just follow the instructions in the op. all you need is a root explorer or a build.prop editor, both are abundant in the marked. or wait until next week and you can flash an all-in-one packet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gamefreakgcb:
Are you taking about the Note changes?

The posted AOKP Rom would keep crashing the keyboard without which I was helpless to do anything. I finally went over to CM and its been smooth sailing ever since. I'm trying to figure out some way of adding a dedicated menu key somewhere though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
As you can see, I can't reply within the app. Maybe it doesn't have a dedicated menu button, because I do have a menu button in other apps. This was.a problem on aokp also, but I had nav controls in the power menu so it was ok
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saintsmmx:
The XDA app has been updated so that you can click on a thread to bring up options, including Reply, Quote, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I'm not sure why I haven't been doing that, Im sure I've noticed it before...problem solved for now I guess lol

I do miss some of the rom control options from aokp though :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h22man:
Yeah if you just press on the screen everything will come up. Tapatalk 2.0 is the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yeah i know, its hard to turn back on it once youve been there. kind of had to giggle when i saw cyanogens's warning in romcontrol not to touch a damn thing in the cpu-settings dialog, its clear they dont want tweakers. most of their settings are more grown up and actually make practical sense, quiet hours for example - i like that alot. its different but i'll stay for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Just stumbled upon this. Why are you guys all running thus mode?

Because you can?

Looks better?

Any true benefits or just another cool thing you can do cause you can?

To me looks pretty cool so I'll five it a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barrist:
yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
try it and then go back again wading your way through confusing 1-column settings with buttons made for bear paws, trying your best to operate that crappy mail client, deal with apps that have been laid out for 160dpi, on a 1280x720 320dpi display. then you'll see the difference. it has (still) many drawbacks of course, but weigh for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Are there any main apps that benefit from it? Gmail, YouTube, Facebook?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barrist:
did you look at the OP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Lol I was about to edit my question out. I plan on doing this so I'm just gonna sit down through thread and read it.

Sorry!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballaz:
there is a new AOKP out (34), has anyone tried it and have reports or should if not i can take the plunge to see hw it runs with this mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prking07:
Can you try setting de dpi threshhold to 241 dpi and see? Or maybe 280?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2.0t03speed:
well i went and wiped cache and re flashes aokp m4 & gapps and clock works hooray
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brb123:
Is there any possibility to remove the dock in portrait mode?

Because I'm having problems with the app drawer; I see my dock behind the app drawer...

anyone else having the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cd78:
Watching the progress of this mod intently - looks great!

Looking forward to a full blown ROM with tablet mode built in or switchable even! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
there's a transparency setting. do not use it, make it black and the dock will be gone. if i could change the real code it would be nothing to make the dock invisible while being in the appdrawer, but hacking smali is a pain in the ass and for now it's better to take compromises.

i had no luck until now. but i'll try. 240 would be good for the market, it takes 160, 240 and 320. these are the three standard dpi values. although im afraid the tablet-notification center will blow over at 240.
