[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ZaphodAK42:
Hmm... I think I see what you're getting at. You're bugged that we're not using our Google Android devices the way that Google intended. Android, of course, was only created as an open project so that device makers could create their own Android-compatible OS's, and it is entirely inappropriate for end users to modify the devices that they purchase for hundreds of dollars. Google's famously brilliant UI team is always right all the time, as proven by the fact that they never change anything even remotely related to their UIs company-wide, only adding improvements which are never reversed or depreciated. Samsung's UI team is equally gifted, and Touchwiz is the perfect variant of Android for anyone who purchases a tablet or phone from Samsung. Also, we should all immediately buy a Prius, invest in gold futures, and start typing in Dvorak.

Thank you my friend. I see the error of my ways. I will immediately un-jailbreak my iPhone, un-root my Note 8, pay Marvel for all those Deadpool comics I read while at my friend's house last weekend, and never, ever do or say anything contrary to what a faceless major corporation tells me to do, because major corporations are never wrong and always have my best interest at heart.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] con_oner:
Lowering the density seems to mess up the multi window function where the second window hovers over the first instead of snapping to the side of the screen. Is this happening to anyone else? Any solutions?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kable:
A lot of the stock apps will have to be modified to use the new density.

Check the Note 2 forum for an idea of what it involves.

As for the PlayStore, Yes your device will be detected differently in 'tablet' mode and some apps will no longer be compatible and visa-versa.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] elmwood:
Had this issue too. I did a CW backup, then I reverted my device to factory defaults. I re-did the entire unlocking/recovery/etc. process using the All-in-One Toolkit. When I restored via CW recovery, the windows began "snapping" again. Not really sure what was wrong, but this did fix it for me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Bladerunner1825us:
To elaborate on what was said here, TW is extremely picky about DPI changes. On the GN2 the TW dialer, calculator, keyboard, launcher etc would all FC at dpi of 240 or below. Youd have to decompile each individual APK IOT to adjust for multi DPI. you can use replacement programs for each and be able to use a low DPI but youd have to configure all of that BEFORE changing DPI. Another alternative is to use the multi DPI module for Xposed framework and make sure all the default sammy apps are at normal DPI.

As for the google play store only certain DPI's are recognized. I think they were 480, 320, 213 & 160 but dont hold me to that. selecting other DPI's can cause errors with app compatibility. There is an app for the market which bypasses the restriction but I cant remember what it is.

hi

been searching for this and didnt find

tried mybackup pro, titanium, never found a way to restore just the widgets

im on LSZ rom 4.1.2

any way to do it ???

thx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxtus:
Widgets depends upon your launcher. You need to backup your launcher using TB. But you can't restore the TW launcher app as it is system app but try restoring just the data from TB.

Better, use third party Launcher from market set your home screen widgets and backup using TB and when trying other ROMs just restore app and data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiplex2012:
i tried with titanium backup, it restores all the icons, but never the widgets

and i kindda like TW so using it, not other launchers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optiplex2012:
ok got it ....

ok well, been reading here and there and found that NOVA launcher is quite good and still uses the TW features like the S pen and Air View

and can backup and restore the android screens and widgets, so its a good solution

just upgraded to JON 7 rom and got back everything like it was

thx :)

Can someone kindly help me with how to flash this? The instructions in OP seems broken.

Few questions, GAPPS on download link in OP is for 4.2.2 What version of Gapps do we need? Since it is KK, I'm assuming we would also need KK Gapps?

Also, if I do flash, is it just, Reboot Recovery -> Full Wipe -> Install ROM -> Install Gapps -> Reboot?

Does it retain root, or does it break it?

Tried reading this in OP but does not clearly show stuff related to my questions.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alx31:
bro just get one or two pages back op posted kk gapps link

All aosp roms are rooted

Some need to flash a super SU fix to get it back but not this one,

If u already on kk rom u can dirty flash it by wiping dalvik cache and cache partition but make a backup as well in case

By flashing this way u keep home/widgets/data...

But if u comming from different android u wipe data factory reset/cache partition and flash rom and gapps.

Compatibility issues with DooMKernel?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else has had compatibility issues between this ROM and DoomKernel? (ie. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2172888).

I ask because when I try to install the kernel in conjunction with this ROM, it always results in a bootloop.

I've tested the kernel on the stock ROM plus PAC and BOKP ROMs with no issue, it only happens with the Avatar ROM.

I've also tried going back to a previous version of the Avatar ROM to no avail.

Factory Resets have been done many times as well, no dice.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this? I tried searching through other threads but haven't seen anyone with a similar issue.
