Is there a way to get the tablet UI on the 2013 Nexus 7 yet????

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rmkilc:
The Nexus 7 comes with a tablet UI, unless you are talking about the old UI from HoneyComb that was depreciated a while ago. I don't understand why people are still hung up on legacy layouts.

"It's very clear what Google is doing - keeping users' attention on two general parts of the homescreen UI. The search / voice / notification area, and the app drawer / nav button area. Just like a modern Android phone. It makes sense - the experience across all [stock-ish] devices is now extremely consistent."

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Caldair:
Except that that is simply not the case.

On phones the navigation buttons never leave the short side of the screen leaving them easily accessible with your right thumb while in landscape. On tablets the nav bar is terrible with the buttons spread out across the bottom while holding your device in landscape. The centred buttons are barely reachable on a 7" tablet like this. On 10" devices unless you are some kind of mutant, bred to be a piano virtuoso, good luck getting your thumbs where they need to go while cradling the tablet in 2 hands. Similarly the top-of-screen based notification pull down is simply not an ergonomic solution to something that you will be doing thousands of times with your device. Again this is not so bad on a device of this size, but is seriously ridiculous on large tablets.

It is all well and good for Google to say that they want users to have the same user experience across all devices, but they do not deliver on that. Given no other option, I would far rather use this tablet in full phone mode, with navigation buttons that never leave the short edge of the screen, than use the new "Tablet UI". I have actually clicked the DPI up to 340 and find the phone UI much easier to use than the default one, with the obvious exception of the full screen notification shade (which just looks ugly on this device). At least though, this configuration would be more condusive to one handed landscape navigation.

So, for me, I am going to keep using the old tablet UI as long as Google leaves the code in there for me to use and hope that they come to their senses one day over at the AOSP and realize that they've actually taken a step backwards in terms of user friendliness.;)

No need for nay-sayers to jump in when someone asks for a customized user experience. That's the beauty of Android! It isn't a one size fits all, apple-corer OS. The only limit is your imagination, and how much time you want to spend learning and tweaking. I say tweak on, young man, tweak on!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] csrow:
Because it's functional. The notification area is always visible even when apps are running full screen.

I can see the clock. I can see if the downloading is finished. I can see if a new email has come in.

The new Mod for tablet UI is working nicely.

The ipad has a tablet ui too and its really useful. Less pressing on the back button when navigating thru the settings ap
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Kookas:
The new UI is much better looking, to be fair. And the notification area on the old one felt a bit rushed - for example, if a notification came in, it hijacked the entire notification area so you couldn't get to other notifications until it was gone - or at least, that's what I thought until I figured out that (for whatever reason), notifications could be cancelled by pressing somewhere else on the navbar (in other words, that 'feature' was a nuisance and user unfriendly in many ways).

I had plenty of moments where I went to get an email by opening the notification drawer when something else suddenly notified me and I ended up somewhere I didn't want to be like Appy Geek instead.

Also, the fact that it was a tap to open instead of at least a swipe upwards made no sense at all.

I get that you power users are happy to have to practice using your technology like it's some sort of art form, but please save the rest of us the bother.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rmkilc:
Agreed, it was a very inconsistent experience. Also, trying to get expandable notifications to work properly with gestures was a pain.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] csrow:
That's what's great about Android on a Nexus device. You get to choose what you like and everyone will be happy.

No one option is better than another. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean someone else should not be using it.

I have experienced this issue for a LONG time.

So while in the stock browser for a little bit I locked and switched on the screen revealing the browser bar on top which is transparent.

So today while on the terminal I got a image burn of the keyboard and it was fading away slowly so I took a screenshot and that's when I found out that the screen was the issue.

Does anyone have this issue?

I didn't get what do you say exactly but I am having some transparecy issues too.And I thought these are related to UI.

Hey guys,

I want to get my son involved with programming/linux/how things work! Does the Pi actually do this, or is it just a bit of a toy?

Also, because its so cheap, do you think its worthwhile putting them in schools to teach EVERYONE how things work?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The Pi does it all ! You have the Linux to tinker with, and Python og whichever you choose for "advanced programming". For the young learners there's Scratch programming. Its a graphical programming language. And with the GPIO port you can connect a diode for example, and program it to flash or light up depending on you program or choice.

It is a good and simple platform to learn programming on since you have all the choices in languages, but also the GPIO port for seeing a result on.

thanks for your reply

i've been using quickpic also, which is a great gallery app, but i slightly prefer the stock one. I've tried pushing a stock secGallery2 apk to system/app and changed to correct permissions but it just wont install.

I've tried the note 2 hidden settings app, but that doesn't alter anything either.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawngmc:
Silly question...

I have a few Android devices and I play around with them quite a bit - flashing ROMs, etc. - and there's one thing that tends to irk me: When setting up my Google account on the device, there's the following checkbox:

Bring apps, settings and other data that you previously backup up to your Google account

Is there any way to limit this to settings and other data? I've used a TON of Android apps, and there are many, free and paid, that I have no desire to use again.

I know a more robust solution (Titanium Backup, etc.) is better, but I'm not always running with root and I'm not looking for extremely-fine-grain control. I simply want to skip installing apps I haven't used in months!

I know I could simply uninstall the apps, but there are a ton.

I'm willing to uncheck the box if I can get a clear understanding of what I'll be missing if I don't sync. I don't have much time to experiment with it at the moment. For example, I don't remember if known wi-fi networks are synced (compare to Windows 8, which does - if I remember correctly - along with tons of other data)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyrois:
As for the first point, backup doesn't bring back all the apps you ever downloaded, but -- if all goes well -- just the ones you had on your last install.

Regarding your second point, wi-fi networks; yes, they are backed up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawngmc:
Hmm... that doesn't quite seem to be my experience, but it probably doesn't help that I have multiple android devices active at any given time.

Either way, yeah, still need to figure out if there's a good way to make it selective.

hi

I got the dreaded unable to scan for networks. but I found if I flex the phone near the top or drop it from around two foot i can get the WiFi to work.once working it stays working for a good while.its trial and error.ive taken the the cover off around the camera and straightened the pins

but i still have to flex or drop it.I know how crap HTC WiFi can get.Is this a common complaint.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
Mine locks pretty easily. Could it be that your wifi source is far?

Is it the same with every where or just one particular wifi?

FromBeyondThisWorld
[HTC Desire S] bandit4:
It works ok once on.top edge drop is the most effective at getting wifi on.
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
Bases on how u describe it would seems like it's hardware related. There is a thread where they discuss about placing foil to enhance the signal, some gave good review and some were skeptical and discourage it. U could try to experimental with it.

I did had wifi issue but the problem lies with the router. I am running a bridge repeater where I would loop on obtaining IP address, setting static ip solved it.

A few troubleshoot I would suggest, setting static IP or trying different rom(cm and sense).

But if it's hardware related then there isn't much u can do.

[HTC Desire S] bandit4:
Thats the road i started on.rooted the phone and many versions of android.renamed the file in the wifi folder also.does look like hardware.

Hi all! I have a question that someone who knows about electronics may be able to answer. Now, I know that a regular 2.5mm to 3.5mm audio jack converter won't work for the BA. I also know that I could (theoretically) buy one that will work. However, I have a spare XDA2s handsfree kit I can tinker with.

I want my XDA2s to play through an FM transmitter in my car so I can listen to it on the car stereo (like an iTrip, but not iPod specific, and externally powered). I was thinking how I could do this by just cutting the adapter off the transmitter and replacing it with the one off the spare handsfree kit.

Then I had a lovely idea. What if, I could simply wire it up AFTER the microphone of the handsfree kit?!?! Would this mean I effectively have a proper car kit that I will be able to talk through using the car speakers and handsfree microphone.

This picture should explain:

I think if this is possible, with a bit of tidying up it would work a treat!! However, I have no idea about electronics. Would it really be this simple?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cruisin-thru:
Those wires are almost impossible to solder but it can be done. I use a car baby transmitter, it clips over the speaker on the phone no connections are made, and transmits to a spare channel on the radio, the car baby is rechargeable and very cheap.

I only just got my XDA IIs and wasn't keen on buying an expensive 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor cable. All I did was bought a 2.5mm plug from an electronics store for $2 and got an old 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable I already had and cut one end off and put the 2.5mm plug on the end.

Works a treat in the car when I plug into the CD input on my stereo (3.5mm)

The only thing is that there is a little bit of "noise" on the line when the charger is also plugged in.
