[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ShiNLiew:
Some of you may have heard of tablet mode and if you have tried it you know well that it smashes your phone. Apps are small, their layout is screwed, things overlap, crash or stop working, Google Play forbids you to download, if you tried AOKP you cant even use launcher and phone. In short, it is a mess.

PARANOIDANDROID changed that. It does not "heal" tablet mode, it obliterates the boundaries. You define how big or small apps are, you define in which UI they display, no matter if your phone runs in tablet or phone mode, which also you can define. Customize every single entity on your phone, lockscreen, navigationbar, system-components, widgets, apps. If you prefer stay with your three bearpaw buttons + drop-down curtain or switch to a combined navigationbar + drop-up notificationcenter, enjoy Youtube in 3D, Gmail and settings in 2-columns, Chrome in its better mobile UI, etc. Nothing overlaps, nothing crashes, everything works as you'd expect. This is completely new ground and has never been realized before, it is lightyears from tablet mode.

We created it to establish the idea that tablet/hybrid mode can indeed work and that is was an error on Googles side to use the same layout for high resolution devices that is used on tiny little things like htc wildfire. We saw how badly build.prop tablet-mode was milked so we decided to remain closedsource until the codebase is mature enough to publish. Our first repos went public last week and the rest will follow soon, i will personally commit the hybrid sourcetree into CM9. Until then, do not ask us for sources, we have good reason to do it like this and when it's out people will know why, they will see something that works, not features for show. We are still fully open to ports. As long as they stay true to our vision and base on CM9.​

TIPS AND TRICKS​

HOW TO INSTALL

-If you are on cm9 rom then you can install directly without wipe so that all your data will be safe but to remain on the safer side i suggest to do a complete wipe before flashing this rom

You need to wipe all things if you are come from any other rom except cm9

HOW TO APPLY ANY SIZE THEME FROM THEME CHOOSER(MDPI,HDPI,XHDPI,WVGA AND OTHERS)

-Download the theme you want and install it and then go settings\paranoid settings\hybrid settings\list of apps\all and select theme chooser and select a phone ui and lower the dpi from 160 if u want to apply bigger themes than mdpi and put dpi 160 if u want mdpi theme.hurray! now u can apply any theme on this rom.1st rom to feature this.thanks to darkknight for pointing it out.There are still many hidden facts.Maybe u can find one

SIZE ISSUE

-Some apps in tablet mod are too big to fit our screen like camera so change its ui to phone ui and also try to use some 3rd party lockscreen because the built in lockscreen a little unfit to our device.

you can change dpi of any apps so change it that you find suitable

HOW TO

*long press power button and select toggle statusbar to hide\unhide the statusbar.

*overclock or set the default governer to performance to have a better experience.

*check softkeys under paranoid settings to have softkeys on statusbar

*DON'T REDUCE THE DENSITY OF ANY APP LESS THAN 120 OR THE APP WILL FORCE CLOSE

*u can switch the ui from tablet ui to phone ui under paranoid settings\hybrid settings\list of apps\select app and change the ui and density\hit apply.u can change the density and ui of all system and downloaded apps here.

*report some major bugs and do leave some feedback
