Tablet ui....force closing app replacements...smaller icons/more space

for those of u who prefer tablet ui or would just rather have the items on the screen appear "smaller" please listen up...first i advise EVERYONE to download an alternative launcher (i use apex) since touchwiz is known to force close at certain dpi settings. Next...u can simply lower the dpi in the build prop (i personally prefer 134 although i own a tab plus which has a smaller screen) which shouldnt break anything or u can take the better route and install the xposed framework (which i will link to below) along with the tablet ui & app settings module. As the name suggests...the tablet ui module will allow to use the device in tablet mode with almost any dpi setting (while using the note 8 mode switcher only sets it to a certain value) and the app settings module will allow u to set individual dpi settings to any app including "android system" & "systemui" which will allow those of u who dont like the "large" look to customize the screen to your choosing and enable phone/tablet modes for each app as u see fit.

i have put together a package of a few stock samsung apps which need to be replaced...u guys are probably having issues with them because of the new multiwindow feature. The zip below SHOULD be flashable although i would manually make the changes just to be sure (dont forget to set permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r--)...included in this collection is a messaging app which has been modded to enable/disable the split screen option as well as increase the video sending size limit so no more error message. Also...the included video player is improved from the stock app because it now shows live video previews for the thumbnails (it will take a few minutes to create the moving pics after u flash). As [MENTION=1357155]lomniom[/MENTION] has suggested...the camera force close should be related to the missing gallery but if not then i will upload that apk upon request. Please keep a watch on this post as i will probably need to update it a few times...also the calculator app is not included in the zip below but will likely need to be replaced (the stock one usually wont open in multiwindow for whatever reason...can someone please test this an report back)

PLEASE BE AWARE....U WILL NEED TO MANUALLY DELETE ANY OF THE APPS THAT ARE NOT NAMED EXACTLY THE SAME AS THOSE INCLUDED IN THE ZIP! (which is another reason to do this manually or wait until it has been baked into the rom...i see that gallery & video have already been removed)

[MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION] (i knew i should have read your last pm before posting...lol. this is a newer gallery so users may still prefer it plus it i think that the images link when trying to add pick a person's pic in the contacts app is broken with the old gallery)

As i stated in my pm...the video player is improved over the regular one that comes in the stock rom but in order for live thumbnails to work u MUST add/replace the files in the "system/lib" folder with the ones i have included in the zip (one of them is actually for the gallery to function properly). If u read the above paragraph then u MAY want to include the modded messaging app as well...just a suggestion ;)

^XPOSED THREAD (for more info for those who may not be familiar....the app settings & tablet ui modules can be downloaded from within the xposed installer so i will not attache those)

^FORCE CLOSING APPS+ (this zip SHOULD be ok to flash...i still advise copying/replacing maually however)

sort of off-topic but i actually replaced the files on my tablet with the note 8 files and now the allshare cast actually scans for nearby devices although i admittedly havent had a chance to test it...if someone has a dongle and would like to try it out i will upload the nessecary files that need to be added/replaced. Although it is somewhat hardware related it has in fact been modded to work with other devices that didnt come with the feature by default....still may not work but definitely worth a try
