Anyone Feel Like Sliders??

Scratch that last about not being able to get this back!

To get back your volume pop filled slider you must do this:

1.

Using newest version (0.2 now) of Xposed Application Settings; Set

System UI

to 134 DPI and set Screen (dp,px): to 800x1280 and Save. (you can tick xlarge res also, not sure if it makes a dif. and not necessary)

2.

Use Xposed A.S. to set

Android System

to 134 DPI and Save. (xlarge res optional again)

3.

Reboot. (With the option to wipe cache/dalvik)

Just be prepared for the regular TouchWiz nonsense, but I think I avoided it:D!

Now the "cost" of this change is that the Mini App Laucher Dock ends up looking like this in landscape:

Weird spacing and shifted right and cut of 3/4's of the way across the screen.

Plus the Mini App Launcher arrow that resides on the nav bar shrinks

I actually see this as a positive though!

Also as a result of setting System UI to 800x1280 you will get the following improved appearances (in addition to the vol slider):

Improved Portrait Mini App Launcher appearance;

and Improved Notification Shade appearance (larger text/better icons);

Now, for my next trick...;) Every Other Filled Slider I could find!

There are a couple in Settings. First Settings/Sound/Volume:

and Second, Settings/Display/Brightness:

To get these back you need to use Xposed A.S. to set

Settings

DPI to 134, Save and reboot(/kill settings)!*

And, Last but definitely not least Task Manager has a filled slider in the RAM manager tab:

(and 2 other ones in the Storage tab, not pictured, that this fixes too!)

To see these bars again use our best friend Xposed App Settings to set

Task manager

to 134 DPI and Save. Done.*

*As a side note you could set Settings and/or Task manager anywhere from 134 to 160 DPI, if you prefer the larger "stock" appearance, and still have the filled slider bar.

Enjoy! :victory:

Split/Floating Keyboard from 10.1"!

So this ^ is great! But the actual full keyboard is pretty messed up in landscape and a little in portrait too.

This of course is not an issue for me as I hate the stock keyboard and haven't used it since day 2 with this tablet anyway!

Here is what the full keyboard looks like:

OK, so you know what you are getting!:)

I'm lovin the split keyboard (this whole post is typed using it!) And the floating swype-style keyboard makes one thumb typing a breeze. It works better than I ever would have thought!

In the screen shots you see the button to the left of the keyboard like a "T". That opens a handwriting recognition panel that does not work, it gives an error about no license. When appropriate the voice input icon replaces it on that key too.

Okay, okay. So, how to do this:

1. Download the attached SamsungIME.zip and rename it SamsungIME.apk. I extracted this apk from shakatu's deodexed stock p5113 rom, Thanks shakatu!!

2. Install/Already have another keyboard installed and set it to default by Settings/Language and input/Default.

3. Using your favourite root file manager (ES in my case!) go to System/App and find SamsungIME.apk and rename it SamsungIME.apk.bak Do the same for SamsungIME.odex if present, SamsungIME.odex.bak

4. Copy the SamsungIME.apk that you downloaded here to that same location, and be sure to set the permission to rw- r-- r--. (In es thats Properties/Change)

5. Reboot.

6. Open Xposed Application Settings and use it to set

Samsung keyboard

Screen (dp, px) to 800x1280 , tap Save and tap Yes in the popup.

7. Go back to settings and set Samsung Keyboard as default. Then find yourself a text input so the keyboard will open.

8. Ignore the ugly, damaged keyboard that opens and Pinch Together on the keyboard (I recommend doing this in landscape mode first because the button in the selector window gets cut off a little) and select either the floating or split keyboard and enjoy!

A few pointers:

For swype input you have to have enabled in samsung keyboard setings Continous Input.

To drag the floating keyboard around the screen and to slide the split one up and down the sides tap and hold the keyboard with 2 fingers then move around.

One caveat: The dropdown that shows you more suggested words is off the screen in split keyboard. Too bad you can't disable suggestions for only one keyboard.

:silly:

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] umbrella android:
you rock man thanks :D i may but it in my next stock rom
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Sweet!:good: I would like to see that.:laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Mmmm... PIE!!

So with all the customization and control that Xposed gives us over stock its starting to feel a little like a Paranoid Android rom.

If you want to carry this one step further you can install the great LMT Launcher from here and you too can have your slice of PIE... Controls! :eek:

I have used version 1.9 and everything I tried worked great. Don't forget to thank noname81 while you're there!

(image from noname81's LMT thread, Thanks!)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] invalidpoint:
I tested it yesterday and it worked fine :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] karaern:
that pie thingie looks really good, but is it usefull in gt2 :confused: i mean if anyone can write here his/her experience..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
I guess at this point it is more of a novelty since we have our action bar at the bottom which is almost always visible.

But I am hoping:fingers-crossed: that in a future version Tungstwenty could get the "Fullscreen"/"No Title" tick boxes in Xposed App Settings to work for tablet users, allowing you to hide the bottom bar, letting all your apps use the full screen. Then you could basically use LMT as your only nav control!:D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
I am now using LMT together with the free version of an app called full!screen from the playstore and the results are just what I was talking about in the previous post: All applications are running full screen, with No Bars Whatsoever!

This is pretty cool. I am going to have to play around a bit and get used to the way everything works now.:p

FYI: full!screen lets you toggle the nav bar (aka system bar) on and off and it actually has some pretty neat controls of its own. These tiny (toggle-able/resizable) buttons that reside in the bottom corner(s) of your screen are very unobtrusive and usefull!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ketut.kumajaya:
Thank you for this but I am not comfortable with 133 DPI setting (especially in the phone application) and finally use Xposed TabletUI with Xposed framework 2.1.2 + renamed minimode.jar .
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Yes, that is definitely another option, much easier for anyone who just wants Tablet UI. I found Xposed TabletUI mod a couple days after using 133 dpi and I didn't like it, even though it is just like stock ICS, I was already in love with the smaller graphics @133dpi.

If anyone wants the Xposed TabletUI mod by TB_TB you can download it from the link to "Other Xposed Mods" in post 1.

Thanks ketut, didn't know about minimode.jar to get rid of the mini app launcher, looks nice in your shots, and keep up the great work on KK-boot!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] karaern:
in my case that tablet ui didnt work also or it worked but i didnt like it ;) anyway with custom modifications i have amazing tablet...

and with kk kernel 0.4.5 (hehe i wont stop insulting him till he decide to start improvement of this kernel not the 0.5.2 version).

that thread is so helpfull to get full from gt2

tnx

Re: [HowTo][7"] Tablet UI (and MORE!) on Stock JB Based &gt;&gt;Get Xposed and ROCK STOCK!!

Can I use this in Cyanogenmod 10.1?

Enviado desde mi GT-P3110 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
No.

CM uses its own kernel, not the samsung one, so I don't think the Xposed framework will work for you.

However... I cannot confirm this because I have never tried... If you REALLY want to try, just make a full backup in CWM (or whatever loader you use) first! And if you do try please report back. But seriously, my gut says your chances of success are very slim.

(The longest odds do always yeild the greatest rewards.:fingers-crossed:)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Does changing DPI for com.sec.phone and com.android.phone with xposed application settings have any effect? I am just curious what the call screen looks like because I have no calling on my tab. :o

Also, I added your mini app mod to the first post! Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ketut.kumajaya:
Sorry, DPI 133 is not my way for now.

alarm clock its better with the default 160dpi

Re: [HowTo][7"] Tablet UI (and MORE!) on Stock JB Based &gt;&gt;Get Xposed and ROCK STOCK!!

Hi I can u give me some clarification, in step 6 u mention quick launc soft key! What is that? And also in step 7 u mention changing the dpi. Can u not keep default? I want it to look just like ics ui! Thanks

Press thanks if I helped!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Quick Launch softkey is the Screen Shot button that in next to the 3 standard system buttons. The option to hide it does not show until you are in tablet mode.

If you don't want to mess with dpi's then the easiest way to acheive Tablet UI on Stock Roms is install the Xposed Framework and then the Mod for it here. Rename the file you download from .zip to .apk, install it then launch Xposed Installer, tap the Moodules tab, and tick the box next to TabletUI Trigger and reboot.

Hope that helps.:laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DarkStryder:
Re: [HowTo][7"] Tablet UI (and MORE!) on Stock JB Based &gt;&gt;Get Xposed and ROCK STOCK!!

So to install framework do I follow these steps?

1° - Install this:

Xposed installer ---update 14/02 version 2.1.2

2° - Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"

3° - Reboot

4° - Install this: Xposed app settings -- update 14/02

MIrror1 - by jnr21

Mirror2 - by ThilinaC

5° - Reopen the installer Xposed the Modules tab and enable Xposed settings app

Press thanks if I helped!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
No, sorry. You need not install Xposed App Settings if you are going to use Xposed TabletUI Trigger.

I am at work now on my mobile, but if you don't mind waiting 8 hours I can post a thorough step by step guide for you. Please let me know if you figure it out in the meantime.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
OK, So the quickest easiest method to acheive TabletUI is to use Xposed Framework with Xposed TabletUI Trigger. I will describe the steps to make this modification: (Your device must be rooted for Xposed to work.)

1. Download the Xposed Installer, attached to the first post here.

2. Download the Xposed TabletUI Trigger here.

3. Install Xposed Installer then launch it and tap Install/Update, then reboot.

4. Install the Xposed TabletUI Trigger.

5. Launch Xposed Installer again, tap the Modules Tab, and tick the box next to TabletUI Trigger. (it should be the only module in the list)

6. Reboot again and then start enjoying Tablet UI!

Hopefully this helps, I'll probably link to this in the first post to make it easier to find! :p

One small question what about the menu button and google search at the top of screen?

Press thanks if I helped!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Google search is Gone. If you want to launch google search then slide your finger up from the home button.

Launcher shortcut is also Gone. If you want to access the app drawer long press the recent app button (the one to the right of home that looks like 2 rectangles).

As a bonus though, both of those actions will work from ANY screen, not just the home screen!

Re: [HowTo][7"] Tablet UI (and MORE!) on Stock JB Based &gt;&gt;Get Xposed and ROCK STOCK!!

If you change the lcd density how come it all changes to tablet?

Press thanks if I helped!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
The pixel density (dpi/ppi) value is used in a calculation by the android system to determine which graphical resorces to load. As it is a denominator in that particular equation, as DPI decreases the output increases and the larger the resource folder android looks in.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kenundrem:
Thank You!

just wanted to say THANK YOU! This mod is exactly what I have been looking for! I can't stand the phone ui on my tablet - especially when it came with a tablet ui to begin with. Anyways once again thank you for your time/effort in figuring this all out...much appreciated. Running smooth over a week now on GT-p3113 with Stock 4.1.1 and Agni Kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jaydaman:
I have tried both Xposed Tablet UI trigger & manual DPI mod as suggested in this thread.

My overall experience is that some elements of normal Tablet UI simply cannot fit the 1024x600 7" screen of Galaxy Tab 2, which probably explains why Samsung switched to the Phablet UI. One example is the notifications panel of the home screen, in landscape mode, it keeps running off-screen with only 2 or 3 notifications.

I am curious though as to how previously the tablet UI on ICS worked before Jelly Bean, as it seems strange that now Jelly Bean Tablet UI is no longer optimised for Tab 2.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jaydaman:
Anyway, forgot to add that I've thanked the threadstarter for the great effort in experimenting & sharing these wonderful findings with the Tab 2 community. :good:

I do hope that maybe the threadstarter could verify if there are indeed quirks with using the Tablet UI such as the notifications panel "running off" the screen due to 2/3 or more notifications or if it is due to my own inaptitude in applying the settings? :p

Thanks once more. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Thanks for your kind words. It's not just Samsung doing this. In the newest builds there is actually no such thing as TabletUI anymore in android, on any device, regardless of screen size. Every device looks like a phone. In this particular stock build, 4.1.X, TabletUI was removed from the smaller 7" devices but was still present in the larger 10" models. All of these mod's/tweaks take advantage of this fact by telling the system to look for resources which are intended for the larger devices but (luckily for us) still present on ours. So this explains why the notification shade extends beyond the visible area, because the systemUI thinks you have 720 vertical pixels, not 600. If I remember correctly this problem only occured when the most recent notification is one of the fancy expanded ones, like Gmail preview, or Screenshot preview. I think when you have enough notifications the list becomes scrollable as well. And again if I remember correctly it is just the clock that gets cut off, and the dismiss all button. You can still dismiss individual notifications by swiping them away.

I was using this right up until a month ago when I switched to CM, and I found the couple of "quirks" to be outweighed by the advantages of the single bar UI. I hope my answers helped to satisfy your curiosity.:p
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jaydaman:
Thank you for taking time to reply & explain all these :)

In my case, I use Juice Defender & some battery widget/app so I have 2 constant notifications in the "tablet UI" mode.

- In Xposed Tablet UI Trigger, this is already enough to cause the notifications panel to run off.

- Using your DPI mod, it fits with the above 2 constant notifications. The moment I receive any new notification, I'm back to square one with an ugly notification panel.

By the way, under Android development sub-forum, someone tried a TabletUI mod which I feel is somewhat clumsy & with mixed results when your own DPI mod is easier. However someone reported the same issue as me and that modder offered a solution as follows:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36846344&postcount=22

I don't think a non-programmer like myself could modify the files/values referred in there? :confused:

Anyway, I guess I am sticking with the Phablet UI for now as I can be picky with these quirks :p
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jaydaman:
Just to share some small findings on my part after fiddling with Tablet UI mode:

Using the Xposed Tablet UI Trigger combined with Xposed App Settings to force System UI to 130DPI, I can get the Notifications panel to fit nicely within the screen resolution of Tab 2 7.0

However, the only downside is the bars in the panel do not 'light up' since anything lower than 134DPI does not produce the 'shade' effect as tested by the threadstarter originally. At 134DPI the panel will get cut off at the top edge as reported previously.

I think I can live with the 'unlit' buttons & slider until someone can discover a better solution.

Overall, still two thumbs up for the threadstarter for a very convenient way to acheive Tablet UI without the need to go through ODIN, CWM, custom ROms & the like :good::good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Thanks for this! I knew I had read that somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. It's not usefull to us for this stock mod, (unless you want to decompile your SystemUI.apk, change that and recompile it, but a large pain if you are odexed) but for the CM10.1 mod I need to implement a change like this. Thanks again man, you just saved me having to either scour xda for the thread, or scour all the value .xml's in SystemUI!:highfive:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tsjoklat:
Thanks for this.. it works really well. The only problem I am having is that the Video Player will not play videos. I can open the Video Player application, but when I select a video, the application closes. Is there something I need to set to DPI 160 that I am missing?

Regards.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ketut.kumajaya:
Stock video player need minimode.jar :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Could that be it for you Tsjoklat? When I used this (on 4.1.1) I didn't have any problem with the stock video player or floating video (something Samsung deserves at least a little credit for, I feel). I used the mini apps when I was on stock. Failing that look for SecTabletVideoPlayer.apk if you haven't already, but I didn't need to set anything of this sort myself.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tsjoklat:
That was it.. Thanks KK. Hmm.. but now I want to get rid of the "arrow" on the status bar. Also, every time I reboot, the minimode.jar is leaving an orphan in the dalvik cache for some reason. I wonder if we could just hack the Video Player to remove the minimode.jar dependency instead.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] maRRRco89:
So, is this the easy way to get rid of the Phablet UI ?

I see the screnshoots in the first post and they look great, but are they releted to your guide or to six steps up?

I mean, your first guide is more complex then quoted one, which is the difference, how could appear my home after the simple mod ?

I'm sorry but I dind't understand well :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Yes, exactly. Those 6 steps are the fast easy way. But your tablet won't look exactly like the screenshots. That easy way looks OK, a lot like stock 4.0.4, but just seems sloppy all over, to me. That is why I stuck to the other more involved method while I was still using stock roms. Your home screen will look pretty good still with the easy method. My advice is try thy easy method and see if you like it. Then if you don't you already have the Xposed framework installed so its easy to go the other DPI method. ;) Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] maRRRco89:
Thank you so much.

I'm going to try your original mod but is it reversible? How could I come back if I don't like the look?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
To revert to stock appearance all you need to do is disable the Xposed App Settings module in Xposed Framework Installer (Or Xposed even creates a flashable zip on your sd card which, when flashed in recovery disables the whole framework. I just state this as a different option). Then edit your build.prop back to the original lcd density of 160 and reboot. I think that is all you need to go back. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] maRRRco89:
You are the Man, thank you so much !

I did the mod today and I love it, I also love the new 133 dpi look, very nice.

The only graphical problem I observed is releted to TomTom app, because the mini app arrow covers partially the contestual menu button in vertical mode. I can live with it, but would be great a possible solution.

Anyway I have back the screnshoot button and I don't see it in your screenshots, good news absolutely, but why?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Thank you,:) I am really glad that you are enjoying this!

To disable the screenshot button, or Quick launch softkey, see Settings/Display/Quick launch.

I think that should take care of the contextual menu overlap. (At least it did for me, on stock 4.1.1, thinking of es file explorer's menu in my case;))
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] yudicihuy:
in my case i always got my 'setting' app force close. when i go to setting >> app manager >> running

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] mykalbrock:
I keep getting touchwiz fc when I install tablet ui after reboot, I have to reinstall rom and start over. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
Did you try this, from the OP?

"I don't think you should have any of the issues i did with Touchwiz. But if you do have it FC repeatedly you can do like I did: used Search gesture from home screen (swipe up from buttons back/home/etc) searched for Nova Launcher and installed via Play Store, opened, tapped "Just Once" when asked about default launcher. Then killed Touchwiz App, wiped its cache/data and rebooted then set Touchwiz as default again."

Just have another launcher installed to fall back to temporarily if TW screws up. And you certainly did not have to reinstall the rom. If you are following directions to the letter you should not have any issues that you can't deal with.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tsjoklat:
It it working very well with the stock 4.1.2 ROM that I just posted. I'm trying to determine exactly what the best DPI is for the SystemUI. I use both the Tablet UI module and the Apps Settings module in conjunction. The Apps Settings module lets me fine tune the size of the navigation bar by adjusting the DPI. I noticed that you cant go below 134 DPI while the Tablet UI module is activated. That would probably cause a conflict in determining what UI the system should default to.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Vishesh:
Can anyone provide me the Xposed tablet ui trigger.. Link has been suspended.. Please..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Caldair:
