I've owned the N7 for a week'ish now, and been running SR4.4 for a few days, with Franco kernel and tablet UI mod. The ROM is just a fantastic piece of craftsmanship - an impressive blend of performance, stability and battery life. Much thanks.

I have a few questions. The ads blocker doesn't seem to be working, at least fully, as I am having ads popping up on a few apps - MX Player being the most notable. For now, I just installed AdAway, but was wondering if there was somewhere to access the ads blocker, or update it, or some solution I'm missing which would allow me to uninstall AdAway.

One other thing I was wondering about is if it is possible to install a different version of YouTube on this device, running SR4.4 with tablet UI mod?

I don't like this version of YT, and not to mention when in landscape parts of the UI are just cut off entirely. Having the 3D wall version would be paradise, but even short of that, I'm just curious if there's any options here.

Thanks again.

You can find the tablet version of YT here on xda. I have it on mine and it's fine. There are small pieces of the descriptions cut off, but who cares. It's much better than the phone version of YT

It is a real tablet ui, not a launcher settings, right now it uses ADW Launcher but the Launcher has nothinf to do with the Tablet UI ;) however, I've mostly dropped support for now on the Tablet UI ;)

Ahhh, thanks. I was hesitant about installing the tablet UI mod, but I got the sense everyone was using it. Oh well, no bigs.

On getting rid of it, can I just wipe cache/dalvik and reflash ROM, or do I need to full wipe and clean reinstall?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] papaschtroumpf:
On my 2nd attempt, tablet UI works fine.

As to why use it, my thumbs don't stretch comfortably to reach buttons in the center of the screen, especially when using the tablet in horizontal mode. Also you gain screen space since the status bar is at the bottom with the navigation buttons.

I use Nova Launcher with my customized home screen and the tablet UI works there too, so I can confirm it's not done through ADW.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] hasenbein1966:
AW: [ROM][Feb 09][4.2.1] SmoothROM v4.4-Smoothest ROM-Deodex-Zipalign-Tablet UI-Stabl

It should be obvious why:

1) because of screen estate, especially in landscape mode; not only have you more room for the app, but it's almost crazy to waste space on such a small device with a black bar that is just black with 3 tiny buttons in the middle!

If it had auto-hide (and would reappear by swiping up into the screen) then it would be ok, but this is even not possible, with no trick!

2) The placement of the buttons on the side is more ergonomical because you can easily reach them with your thumb. Buttons in the middle are just plain un-ergonomical, period.

Google placed then in the middle because that looks better on a smartphone (and on a phone you don't have the thumb reaching problem anyway).

They just did the same on the tablets because they want to unify Android on all devices, not because it makes particularly sense for ergonomics or user experience!

But this (the unification) is BS anyway, because the OS is different on each device anyway and has to be individually adjusted (thus always that "will device XY get 4.2 or not?").

Bottom line: What actually is hard to understand are the people who defend the phablet UI. Because there are simply no real arguments for it.

Not sure if it's just me, but I have trouble changing from 4.3 CM10 kernel to 4.4 Franco.

Re: [ROM][Feb 09][4.2.1] SmoothROM v4.4-Smoothest ROM-Deodex-Zipalign-Tablet UI-Stabl

I'm entering this conversation a little late...this might not be relevant...but I have always gotten my tablet UI by editing my DPI to 160. That gives me full tablet UI including my dual pane screens and so on. Otherwise it's not really tablet UI in my opinion, just a hybrid, and that's okay if that's what people like - I'm sure it works just fine that way; I just like the full UI experience. I hope changing the DPI will continue to change the UI like it always has up to now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hdale85:
Just an update, I'm feeling it's gotta be an issue with the rom as I installed a different rom and it worked fine, even with the same kernels I was trying with this rom. Would really like to install this but just not sure what the issue is.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
I don't understand what your issue is :P
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hdale85:
Well as I stated it seems like the UI is crashing or something. As soon as I boot the device the screen is black except for the multitask, back, and home buttons are on the bottom. Rest of the screen is just black. If I let it sit until it locks it self and I press the power button the lock screen looks just as it should, but when I unlock it it's back to the black screen. I've tried cleaning and reflashing several times with different kernels and what not and it's always the same. MD5 check is fine, and other roms work no problem.

It is not an issue from SmoothROM. Do you have a Nexus 7 3G just in case?

Try to wipe your device properly using JROMFlasher. Do not flash Stock rom thinking it cleans the device then flash SmoothROM, Stock ROM doesn't clean your device at all and it's not going to work

Well still no go, still getting the same issue after install even with JROMFlasher. I tried with tablet mod mode, without tablet mod, a couple different kernels. JROMFlasher didn't partition the SDcard partition so the first time I tried to copy over the rom zip it didn't work. So I formated it from CWM and then copied it again and it worked but again after installation I just have a black screen with nothing there other then the back home and multitask buttons at the bottom. Lock screen works as it should. I guess I'll try and download the zip again even though the MD5 matches up perfectly.

To those who are having a battery drain, try checking the Settings>Performance>Processor. Change the Maximum CPU frequency to 860 Mhz. Your device will slow down a little but not too noticeably.

Coming from Omega Kaos's rom, and downloaded the recent 4.4 release of this. Tried both lean, and franco with no luck. Followed JFlash, if that means anything. Either it'll load up once, and get a message saying "system ui is not responding." then when i try rebooting it, it'll stay in boot loop. so sad :( will keep trying different kernels to see if that works. cheers, can't wait to see what all those hard workers/donators to make this rom!

Re: [ROM][Feb 09][4.2.1] SmoothROM v4.4-Smoothest ROM-Deodex-Zipalign-Tablet UI-Stabl

If you would like to hide your Navbar, just make one simple addition to your "build.prop", file located in the System folder of your Nexus7. Add this under the last line of your current build.prop, save it, and then reboot your device:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Add that and reboot. Your Navbar will be gone.

Want your nav.bar back? Simply erase that line and reboot again.

Really works.

Just make sure that you have Lmt enabled first so that you have home and back buttons.

I use LMT off and on. But it hides the statusbar, that's annoying. An auto hide feature for the navbar will be awesome. ADW launcher is great for swipe-up to hide statusbar and swipe-down to show/open statusbar. ADW + the hide feature will be great. I'm still on 4.3 atm because I'm just not in the mood to wipe and restore, especially since 4.3 is already perfect for me lol
