You can edit on the phone, some changes require reboot and others do not. If you make a change and nothing happens chances are you need a reset. Good question though, I'll update OP.

Ok seriously time for me to get off the computer, I'll be away for the next few hours so have fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Copying my sd card to my Mac and hen will be flashing. Will update with an issues I find...not that I push this thing to the limits. Thanks again.

Can a kind individual explain what DPI settings should be for tablet mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Can't remember exactly but I thought it was 160 or 140. I thought it was right around there. I'll look back and see if I can moles post where he gave the different dpi's.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

"Tablet mode can be achieved on JB by changing the DPI to 160. I have been using it . Its the hybrid mode that I miss."

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

FYI 7 minutes and I made it to the Welcome screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Thanks for this! I'll be flashing it when I get home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
Took a while to boot up but it is up and running. Now I just need to figure out how to get it into tablet mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
I found the pad file but not sure what to change in it. Haven't ever modified it before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
Same here I changed the preference DPI to the 160 and system ui to 160 but did not see framework? Did not look right. Restored back to bug less beast until more progress is made but it is very exciting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
I don't understand it at all either. If someone could briefly explain that would be great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
What were the line items actually listed as. Never been in this file before.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

Think we need the Jellybean su. Just guessing we need that to make\save changes to pad. Is that right?

Gmail crashing for anyone else? I can open it but can't open any emails. That's when it crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
That would be dope if we good get the notifications in the middle just like the nexus 7.

And will the inverted mods work on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
I loaded one of my gmail accounts into the stock email app and could open one there. I cleared the cache and the data from the app and still no success. Thinking about deleting the app and reinstalling. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mao04:
Pretty sure you can. I think you just have to change systemui to =2 in the padprop. there's a link in the gsm thread from moles about it. I haven't been able to try it yet, but I will soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Anyone else having issues with Gmail. I can open emails from one account but not another. The main one crashes. I cleared cach and dalvik and it's still happening. Removed the account and added it back in and still same thing. I can open emails from that account if I load it into the default email program.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I've tried to make some pad.prop changes and they're just not being recognized. Changed MMS.apk to 200, its still in 320. Rebooted as well. I'll try clearing caches and report back.

FWIW, no gmail issues here. I had a browser FC, but its all good now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
bill - I've seen the same with the pad.prop. It just won't save the changes. It's weird with the email. I can open the app and see the list of email but as soon as I attempt to open one it force closes. If I open the app and select the other account that email opens just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
No problems viewing individual emails here, but clearing caches didn't work either, also tried setting it to tab mode, didn't work. Any changes I make to pad.prop are being saved, but ignored by the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Delvien:
Awesome! Dling now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
I must be doing something wrong. May try wiping and flashing again tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
Try checking the MD5, plenty of free programs out there and it only takes about 3-5 seconds to check the file. Could save you some frustration and time ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brmayhem:
So far, the only two things to report are a FC for browser and a FC for YouTube after my first boot. Cleared them and it's running perfectly well now.

Also, I had two Browsers after installation. One in tab mode and one in phone mode (android.browser and Google.browser) I deleted Google's (phone mode one).

Skusa, a billion thanks man. This is one rocking ROM and I feel like if Toro support was abandoned then I'd promptly sell mine and get a Maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
How do I check that for gmail. Also I just discovered that if I hold it in landscape that I can access the email. As soon as I rotate it back to Portrait it force closes. Very weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I think skusa meant the md5 of the entire rom zip you downloaded, which if it installed correctly should have the correct md5.

Skusa, any idea what's up with PAD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
Sorry I went dark for a bit, had to drive home and then needed to rest a bit, long day.

I did indeed mean the whole ROM. I only say check the MD5 because nobody else seems to be having that particular problem.

As far as the pad goes it is working fine for me. I have only just begun messing with it but I changed the DPI and mode settings for systemui and they are working fine. Going to try and mess around with adding in specific apps next.

I'll continue to play around with it and post my pad.prop so you can replace yours and see if it solves your issue.

What exactly is it that you were trying to change in there that wouldn't stick?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
do not change build.prop dpi. do not even touch it, better yet forget that it exists. that was a really really silly thing and we worked hard to get around it, as everyone knows, build.prop will f up your phone. i worked weeks to hack playmarket, launchers, phone, this and that to make things work again, now we're finally free of it and i threw away all hacks since nothing will break as long build.prop stays untouched.

what you call "tablet mode" is simply an app, systemUI to be precise, displaying in its higher layout container and thats all there is to it. SystemUI displays the navigationbar and the statusbar. in pad.prop edit com.android.systemui.mode=3 and you get tablet mode, 2 and you get phablet mode, 1 or 0 and you get phone mode. you can scale it via .dpi to anything you like.

com.android.systemui.mode=3

com.android.systemui.dpi=200

for instance will give you a slightly bigger version of tablet mode. its not polished though, it needs the PA extras to prevent overlapping of notification icons, etc. that will come soon. you can define every other component in your system like that and all your apps of course.

btw heres a preview of the new panel that will soon be ready: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjIbKHSYgG0

all the other extras that we had before, like number of notifications icons, show clock, hide navbar, layout fixes, etc. that will all be merged over the coming weeks. when this is done you can even switch between phone mode and phablet mode without reboot and it will be visual and less complicated. but yeah, jellybean is drastically new and it feels like writing things from scratch because everything changed. it'll take some time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
When I try and edit it via Astro and save the changes Astro crashes.

Here's how I installed.

Originally on PA 1.5

Cleared cache

Cleared Dalvik

Data Wipe

Installed 1.6

Cleared Dalvik

Cleared Cache

I am very new to this ....as in PA .8 or .9 was my first flash ever. Anyone able to tell the new guy what he's doing wrong? I will look up how to do the checksum.

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

moles - I went back and read a previous post which is where I found your values. I also saw your previous warning...guess I should have posted the warning too with the values. Apologies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
astro probably crashe on its own accord. remember, this is JB, many apps are not yet compatible. apex for instance crashed and they fixed it now. another thing is that your explorer will need root to perform its action. i use solidexplorer, it was my favourite but the one from the market is buggy as hell. to navigate it through the folders is a pain. its sad but rootexplorer, which costs, is the only one until now that never ever made problems. when solidexplorer came out i trashed it as SE worked flawless. then i updated and heavens they screwed it up... i think the new panel will be out soon so its up to you if you wanna wait or take it up with these editors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Thank you sir. I will probably be holding out until you put the new panel out...then again I may tinker so I can learn. Can I mod the pad.prop file on my pc and move it over? If not then I will wait. Will definitely be shooting you a donation so you can get some adult beverages to keep the madness of this all at bay. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edwinr29:
This is sick.... Moles, u da man!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Just made a quick check and I only have -r- read rights to that document. No wonder the changes didn't save.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Got mine working. Just as above, permissions weren't set correctly. I had rw - - but for some reason after I set them correctly and rebooted, permissions went back to that. Fixed permissions in recovery and rebooted and it seems fine now. Thanks again moles and skusa!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Thanks Bill!!! I forgot that we can change permissions in Recovery!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Yeah, I spoke too soon. Looks like I have to fix permissions on every reboot, it keeps defaulting back to old permissions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Do the changes at least stay or does it revert to the original settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
Can't wait for the next build. This has always been my fav
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Mine kept reverting. I'm editing pad.prop with ES file manager, so when I'm done making changes, I save it, then check permissions and make sure they're correct. Then reboot recovery and fix permissions there also. Not sure if both are necessary, but I just fixed permissions in recovery once and I think permissions reverted back when I only did that. Kind of a hassle, but its definitely a start on Paranoid jelly bean.

As moles said I've noticed some stuff overlapping in tab mode, and also even in phone mode. Other than that really no issues so far.

I may end up using mode 2, the "Nexus 7" notification style (centered, but still on top) Seems pretty cool..

Edit: Seems like setting permissions with just a file manager should be good enough, on every boot it gets set back though, so I'm still having to do it on each reboot, but no need to boot into recovery and do it there too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeymad:
Can't wait to try out the Nexus 7 notification style. I'm going to stay on stock 4.1.1 until the Paranoid settings panel is complete though. I don't want to bother with editing the text file. Great work though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Teaser shot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
^^^^My body is ready
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Can you do a screen shot of the settings you made? I am able to save the settings and change to 3 for mode and 200 for dpi and didn't see a change.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

I went down to 160 and got to tablet mode. I had to reboot and all was good. Think I am going to try 190 and see how that looks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Everything I am reading indicates that this ROM extends the capabilities of our device more than any ROM I have ever seen. Paranoid ICS was awesome enough, but Paranoid Jelly ensures my GNex will live out its contract life comfortably. Thanks for the hard work guys!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
bill - not sure what I did but I don't have to mess with the permissions after each rebott. I gave rwx to everything on the pad.prop and now all I have to do is reboot after the changes and I can go right back in and make more changes. I have am running the notification bar set back to like the ics pa and I have the user settings to mid and it looks pretty good to me.

Only thing I haven't figured out yet is why the home screens don't rotate to landscape though...must be missing something simple though. I am using Apex launcher btw.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

Yep my dumbass didn't have aut rotate on. Much nicer!!!

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Take that back. It messes up the keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
I was able to get a pad.prop setup that uses tablet UI but does not ruin the keyboard. Unfortunately I have not been able to get third-party keyboards to work yet, but the stock one is scaling nicely.

Also added in a line for Apex (my favorite launcher) and it is working. I currently have it running in tablet mode and 192 DPI. This lets you have a huge 9x7 grid on the homescreen yet does not look too small.

Working on getting the third party keyboards to scale correctly right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
Thanks a lot for your dedication and hard work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaskru:
looking forward to the next... thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
So you added in a line for Apex? How does the syntax for that go?

I'm using Swype for the keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
Ok for all those who are wary to edit their pad.prop files I am uploading mine.

It will put the phone in tablet mode, launcher at 192 DPI and will also correctly display Swiftkey. But, be warned, the stock keyboard is massive under these settings so I would not suggest using it. If you have any specific app requests just post and I'll try and get them working.

Just download, unzip then overwrite your current pad.prop :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
Where is my current padprop? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
Oops, probably should have mentioned that.

It's in /system :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
Yeah and it just says "pad" right? Do I delete it and then paste the phabletzip? Cause when I try to paste, it just says some bs and won't let me lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
Something about the file being read only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
You'll need to unzip the file first.

Then open /system in Root Explorer and look near the top of the screen. You should see something that says "mount r/w"

Click that button then go ahead and delete pad.prop and copy the one you downloaded into /system.

Then do a reboot and all should be good :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
And I can do this through my phone? I can't find that mount option is astro file manager
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
Oh root explorer. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mao04:
Ohleo,

You may have to try a different file manager. The one I usually use didn't work on this ROM. Could be because of Jelly Bean. Anyway, I can confirm that "Root Explorer" and "Root Browser" both work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brmayhem:
Skusa,

Thanks for posting your file. Looks really good. One thing I noticed however, is that I cannot bring up Google now by long pressing the home button. Long pressing it brings up the recent apps menu.

Also, I now get a stretch to fill screen notification icon. Can that be disabled? TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Try Es File Explorer. It's free and in the market. That's what I used today and was able to modify mine. You will have to go into the settings for it and change some settings. I think that is what bill is using too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
That stretch to fill icon is obnoxious, I am not sure how to disable it though. I am getting Google Now by holding the home button, but if I "long hold" it then it goes to recent apps.

Going to post another pad.prop here and on the OP. This one will give you the "Jellybean Tablet" look with the narrow notification bar, I think this is what everyone is referring to when they say the Nexus 7 UI.

Here is a screenshot to show what I am talking about, if you prefer this notification menu then use this pad.prop instead :good:

View attachment 1196450

Sorry for the oversized image, tried as an attachment and they seem to only work half the time for me with the new XDA layout.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ohleo:
I am in the nexus 7 mode. How do I make the the soft key and notification icons a little bigger? It looks great just a little small for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blckngldhwk:
You don't need to hold home to get Google Now, just swipe up on the home button and it will go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
No way to do that yet, don't think you can adjust them. If you look up a screenshot of the Nexus 7 UI it looks just like the one on our phone now, but obviously twice as big because the screen is 7"

You may be able to look into some softkey modifications, there are plenty of threads here on how to make custom icons and you might find how to enlarge them, I do not have any experience modifying them though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mao04:
I was able to make mine bigger by changing the SystemUI DPI to a larger number but it offset them to the right and made the notification drawer wider. So, >>> semi-fail. I guess I'll see if I can find a happy medium.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Mode 1 is regular phone mode

Mode 2 is Nexus 7 mode

Mode 3 is traditional tab mode

Edit: here's Nexus 7 mode at 320 DPI. It can be made bigger, but obviously 320 is way too big. at that point I don't see much difference between that and phone mode though. But, it can be done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I'm working on something to get rid of that. Doubt it will work, but I guess I'll find out soon.

Having trouble unpacking a system.img file. Never had to do it before, and so far I'm not having any luck.

Edit: well, no surprise here, I failed. For now at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anastatow:
This has been by far my favorite ROM... downloaded and flashed the jb version... took a while to boot up but it did and I got stuff setup and put in the nexus 7 pad.prop... restarted and the phone set on the paranoid boot screen for about 20 minutes. Thoughts? Should I wipe dalvik and cache after changing pad.prop?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
You shouldn't have to. I made several to it and never had to clear anything. I put mine into full tabe mode with dpi of 190 if I remember right and like it. I need to make the nav\notification bar a little larger but I can live with it for right now. I like having everything at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
I've noticed JB takes a LONG time to reboot after certain system changes, but shouldn't take that long. If you can't get it to boot, you can try pushing the stock pad.prop to /system and see if it boots, or restore a backup. Just check permissions on pad.prop, should be -rw-r-r. I guess no one else is having problems with it but I notice mine sometimes resets permissions to -rw- - - and sometimes it doesnt.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried decompiling systemui with apktool? mine isn't working, I thought I already did it but I guess I'm wrong.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm dumb lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaskru:
I would like to see this turn more in the direction of a flashable zip that writes the framework/layout changes and installs pa as a system app. It is nice to see it as a rom, but I think that it just needs to be the framework/layout changes and a launcher app. The more it can run smoothly on the base aosp, then the better chances of it working with all the other roms out there. And the more customizing can be done with it.

I really like what is going on with pa, and I hope that it continues to rock.

edit:

I just read through the [PARANOIDANDROID 1.5>] [CM9HYBRID] Developers only: Porting, Support and Maintanance thread and I now understand why it has been based mostly on cm. Looking forward to more info about jb and pa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m4gkman:
does anybody know if the franco kernel will work with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
There are framework and systemui changes that make Paranoid what it is, it couldn't just run as a launcher..

Just flashed the newest nightly (220) 512 GPU version from franco's app. So far so good, but I'll let you know if I have any issues. Boot took a minute, but its running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mao04:
This thread also has a lot of good info and the developer is more active on it, so if you follow it you will get all the breaking news much quicker.

I don't think changing the pad.prop does it. Mine didn't start doing this until I restored apps. Some people in the GSM forum report fixing it by disabling the boot animation. I will be trying that next.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
If you haven't seen moles latest post with screen shots you have to go see the gui for the settings he is working on. It will make configuring super easy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Definitely looking forward to it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
can someone inform me on what it means by editing the file? Do you just download the one he has linked to and replace the old one with that one? if so which one do i download, the first or second?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
Depends on what you want as they do different things, Phablet will look like ICS tablet mode with the notification bar and softkeys on the bottom. The Nexus 7 version will look, well, like the Nexus 7. Softkeys on the bottom and the skinny notification menu on top.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
So far so good with francos kernel, haven't noticed any reboots or performance. Battery life is ok, not as good as the old RC1 build w/linaro kernel though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skusa93:
Weird, mine is much better.

I know the controversy behind it and that a lot of people think it's useless but try downloading Battery Calibration. Charge to 100%, then use the app to delete the battery stats file and then use it until it gets to 0%. Seems to work awesome on my phone, I'm at 91% right now on 3hrs of battery and about 30min of screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Will do. I haven't even been on it for 24 hours yet, so its a good possibility. I was at 61% with about 4hrs and 15 min of moderate usage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolshock1:
Do you have gps on? I Did yesterday and today and battery life hasn't been very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
I've been playing with pad.prop and the ones posted in the OP, but still haven't found a way to change the size of the homescreen with it.

all the mods I do change the navigation/status bar and the apps. is there a quick fix to change the homescreens to tablet mode? like where the apps button is in the top right and the Google search is at the top left? I know I could change columns/rows with something like Nova launcher, but its not the same.

I know I'm being picky, and 1.7 will hopefully be out tomorrow, but I feel like there's an easy fix that I'm just overlooking...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
You'll need to change the DPI of the launcher app. Since there is no per-app-layout feature yet, I assume you'd have to set it to a tablet DPI (try 192, or 160) You'd add something similar to this to your pad.prop:

com.android.launcher.dpi=192

That would change depending on the particular launcher your using, just substitute the "com.android.launcher" for the package name of your launcher.
