Hi!
While the Nexus 7 UI is a disappointment for many people, I think it would be a great alternative for our Galaxy Nexus!
Has anyone got an idea how to get that UI on our phones (of course only with the leaked version of Jelly Bean running)?
Just changing the density doesn't work. But maybe it would work to replace the framework and SystemUI.apk with the ones from the Nexus 7 system dump?
Regards

do note.. that nexus 7 does not use the tablet UI, it uses regular phone ui. The notification bar on the nexus 7 is on the top not on the bottom i have no idea why...but that's the way it is.

u mean 192 no longer goes to tablet ui..looks like the changed the formula then...wonder what tablet mode is for n7 (theres a formulae, usually, which has the devices resolution and native DPI as the variables)

I tried 192 dpi. I think that's not the same. First Nexus 7 uses 213 dpi, that's not that small.
But a big difference is that on Nexus 7 the navigation bar always stays at the bottom as it seemed on the keynote. On my Galaxy Nexus it is always on the short side of the display. Just one difference.
The main point is that Nexus 7 runs the apps in Tablet mode.

n7 also has some important differences like notification pull down being only a portion of the full bar (which happens with Gnexus with 180 or 192 DPI), and also if you turn n7 into portrait (to be confirmed it turns 2 pane apps (like people) into 1 pane only). EVEYRTHING else works in 180DPI on Gnexus, even the new UIs for youtube etc, EXCEPT the pane switching.

I just downloaded the Swiftkey 3 Beta and it doesn't work properly with 240 dpi.
I want to know if anyone can patch the apk for 240dpi or if theres another way to get this working.
the galaxy nexus has 320 dpi not 240
I set it to 240 because it just looks better. That's why I want it to be patched (I'm sure I'm not the only one).
im in agreement with this. i tried going back to 320 but DAMN everything is huge.
It's working well for me at 241 dpi, if that's an option for you

what doesnt work at 240? Mine seems to look fine at 240
Don't forget you can change the key height in settings

I was having issues with dpi 240, do I went ahead and switched to 241 and it is working well. Tried to adjust the height in the options, but it still came up as a garbled mess.

Are you using lcd density or the one built on the rom
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Works fine for me. I adjusted the keyboard height to large in it's settings menu. I'm running AOKP 30 at 240 dpi, changed the dpi using density modder app. Strange that it's not working for you.
Try using the tablet beta? That might work. The only difference should be the additional layout. I haven't installed it on my transformer yet but that should be it.
If I can get to a computer I can upload the apk for everyone.

The first time I launched it, it said something like "wrong version, try tablet version bla bla", but I set the key height to large and I am having absolutely no problems with it. I manually changed the LCD density in the build.prop to 240dpi, if that matters.
How do I downloaded the swiftkey 3 Beta? Thanks

Google for Swiftkey VIP forum. You have to download it from there..
Have a GSM Nexus running AOKP Milestone 4 with Franco Milestone 2.
My Icons are a bit small, definitely smaller then all of the Widgets. What is the best way to increase the ICON size, do I increase the DPI? I just switched over from a HD2 running HyperDroid CM7 and increasing DPI on that platform was affecting market/Play functionality. Or is there another way in Ice Cream to achieve this functionality?
My eyes are getting old so bigger ICONS means more viewing pleasure. Thanks in advance everyone............
Hello again friend just wondering do you want to do this because of vision problems, or just because you want to?

I want to make the change for a few reasons:
1. I am using the Nova launcher and have configured the screen to have 4 rows and 4 columns. There is a lot of free Real Estate between the Icons
2. The Icons are smaller then the Widgets they sit next to.
3. I basically need to use my glasses now for most functions on the phone. But for the larger Widgets its easier to see them then the smaller Icons.
This request/desire is more a function of age then anything else
Increasing the dpi will definitely make the icons larger so thats the easiest thing for you to try. I believe you can do that directly through the AOKP settings or you can use the GNex ToolKit to do it. If it affects the market then just change it back to 320 while using the Market and change it back again after.
Mark.
Anyone know how to disable Tablet UI while running ICS?

If your rooted you can change the screen density to 180 or more ...the only thing is you'll have to run nova launcher or other launcher cause the stock will fc
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA
If by UI you are talking about the system bar. If you rooted you can use gesture control from the play store to make it hide. It works well, but some times reset the wallpaper but the dev has a simple fix in the description.

Thanks for your input guys. I will change density and report back
Sent from my A100
unfortunately changing the density does not force cm9 into non-tablet mode. icons did seem to get a bit smaller but the phone-style navbar never showed up. I see there are a lot of threads on how to force a phone to use the tablet UI but nothing about getting a tablet to use the phone UI.
A toggle in the settings to enable/disable tablet UI would be awesome
I did it on my a100 running flex .....when I did it I set it to 180 or 200 .....the stock launcher fc I then launched nova and bam the phone status bar appeared ....not sure why it wouldn't be the same in cm9

Rom toolbox offers density control and I know there's another in the market but I've never used it. Like density control or modder or something like that.

So, it works on cm9, but how do I get the on screen button for the phone UI????

I never did get this working :'(
Flex Rom: after I changed the density and restarted it gets tuck in a bootloop
CM9: density change works but the bottom Nav buttons don't show up
I'm gonna ask some one I know who devs for the Xoom and see what he has to say.
In the meantime if anyone has any concrete answers or recommendations please post.
Someone that is willing to try, can try to get us on screen buttons for the cm9 with this....

OK...I may be missing the point not here but let's see.
You want the phone status bar and pull down, right? But I assume keeping the nav bar at the bottom for back home recent and menu?
If so then yes the framework will need to be modded for it. Are you trying this for cm9 or stock or what, it'll be rom specific. I can see about doing it on cm9 but stock will have to wait until I reflash flex reaper.

lol well while I appreciate that, I just build from source, the team is doing the hard work.
I'll see about getting it going on CM9, if I can get it figured out on there, it'll be pretty straight forward for stock based ROMs. Since flex reaper has so many mods, it may or may not interfere with those mods, meaning if you apply a mod, then apply the status bar mod, it may overwrite the FR mod. Make sense?
I managed to get a touch CWM working, so I have some spare time to throw at this too.
Nice! If you need a tester....

If you mean CWM Touch, [email protected] also got one going, posted in the thread about that, I got mine going a few hours ago and PMed him the link, but my xda is all scrambled so I never made a post for it.
If you mean this status bar thing, sure no problem I'll put it up when/if I figure it out.

Hey all
As anyone got a multi density play store? I'm running liquid ROM and I've changed the density to 180 but now I'm missing most of my apps?? I use LCD density modder pro but I don't think it supports jellybean

Market senses your resolution and determine if you need this or that. What is your goal for 180? Small phone mode?
Won't you use EOS rom and choose tablet mode to save some screen space.
Eventually they'll have the navigation bar height mods that make the navigation bar thinner. Its too fat in phone mode but tablet mode it feels right.

What he wants is a modded GSF.apk and Phonesky.app with a hard coded DPI value of 213 so changing your DPI won't affect market compatibility.

Like in nexus 10 or paranoid android rom. Status bar with nav bar in one place. For stock 4,4 or cm 19,2 stable. Thx!
As of now there is no way to get tablet ui on kitkat. Google apparently removed the code. In previous versions the tablet ui was still there just not being used.

What about cyanmod 10.2 based on 4.3?
Even the new 4.2 for nexus 10 doesnt have tablet ui anymore
Apex launcher, and no doubt Nova, allow you to combine the Nav/notification bar for a slightly tabified ui. They also allow other config options like being able to disable the dock and/or the notification bar for a full screen display.
You could look into Xposed modules for changing DPI, but I have no idea how those work with kitkat.

Sorry, I forgot that setting in Apex only disables the dock and puts a persistent search bar at the top. Not very tablified.
Since I accidentially updated to a newer CM10.2 I miss my TabletUI and even more since I saw the new ipad mini retina this weekend. I would do it on my own, but I don't know how.
Please somebody who did it in the past post an TabletUI update for the stable CM10.2 or give me some hints how to make this patch on my own.

Just would have include all the the code google removed.
But the best would be to bid farewell to this relict of the past.
(Tablet UI is now dead for more than 2 years so let it rest in peace.)

Ok, I understand. But I don't want to give up! Why should I buy a tablet with super high resolution and then waste the space with useless notification bars? I made a tabletUI Update for the stable CM10.2 for DEB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48538860&postcount=104
We will see what the next Android Update brings...
You know that Android 4.4. introduced the immersive mode.
Developer just need to use it in their apps.
