Plenty of tethering data call on my tfp, file sharing between both devices, and when i can, i'll unlock my tfp, flash cm on it, flash cm on the nexus, and then i can adb either on the go! adb over network is a beatiful feature indeed.
Hey guys.
Have anyone found a way to change only one specific app (youtube and Gmail) to be put into tab mode????
I've searched everywhere and there isn't tool that allows this. There is a tool built into Paranoid Android that uses CM9 with a built in DPI app changer, but I don't want to flash a different Rom.
I want to keep my AOKP Milestone 5 on a Sense Theme I've installed.
Thanks in advanced for helping.
If you don't want to flash paranoid android you won't have this option.
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
Well I can change the LCD Density on my AOKP Rom, but it would turn my entire phone into a Tab, making it useless.
So there is no way I can change it??? Surprised no one has yet since the Tab apps are better then the phone app.
Example: Camera, Settings, YouTube.

There is no way to do it for one app without paranoid Android

You should highly reconsider flashing paranoid android. The rom. Is absolutely fantastic and the pad settings are exactly what your looking for I swear

I know I've tried it on Thursday. The reason why I went back to AOKP M5 is the Sense theme(it has stuff the Market version wouldn't have), features, and stability.
Also the market had alot of apps claiming they are "not compatible" to my phone.
That specific Rom inspired me to go out and find an app or program that allows the DPI to be changed. App Changer tool is AMAZING!!!
If not I guess I'll be the first to develop an app for android that does this task.
I love tablet mode. I used lcd Density modern provide and the market fixer, and then bam BOOM kalamazoo, and I have had only one problem, and and that was Chrome beta
BOOM.
Is it possible without needing to install a ROM? What I basically want is the ability to have the dockbar move to the bottom of the screen when I rotate it to landscape instead of staying on the short side like it currently does. I want my dockbar always along the bottom edge of the screen no matter what position I'm holding the tablet. Currently no launchers that I know of allow this as an option. Any ideas that don't involve ROMs?

This should do that until a new mods gets released .
You have to be rooted for this mod to work.
Hope that helps.

I don't think real tablet UI has a dock. And a launcher like apex would give you the option to disable the dock like in larger tablets.
if you want true tablet ui, buy an iPad mini
What exactly do you mean with real tablet UI - the failed UI experiment from google in the past?
The N7 has the current tablet UI.

The current N7 uses the phablet ui. He means the honeycomb like ui. Whether you consider it failed or not does not matter some (me included) prefer it.

I prefer that tablet ui too... would love some insight if tablet ui is possible at all in a CarbonRom.
I like the Honeycomb look better as well. My biggest issue is that all of the apps from the play store are downloaded as the phone version, not the tablet version. I bought a tablet to have tablet apps, not phone apps - I don't care that the screen is only 7".
Honeycomb ui works fine for a tablet all operations takes place below the screen. Unlike this new ui were you always have to reach the notification area
Most other android tablets ( like galaxy tab, acers and others) Have the tabletUI (honeycomb or whatever the hell you wanna call it)
Why? Because with the way you hold your tablet, its way easier to hit the buttons and swipe where you need to with that setup.
At least it would be nice to have the option to change it.
I use guest profiles and what not so i cannot use the method posted above
Hopefully we will get tablet UI on stock somehow working good....
hmm... the older I get, the lazier i get to mess with roms
I would install ParanoidAndroid if I were to flaSH....

Also a lot of wasted screen real estate on the N7 between the forced search bar and top & bottom bar.

You can flash pa and get the tablet look but that doesn't mean you're gonna get the tablet apps - that's what I'm wanting.

Email the devs of the apps you buy and state your want to get a tablet version. easy peezy.
Revieww apps on the play store, state your opinion.
When people don't buy apps that devs spent lots of effort on, its discouraging.

It's nothing to do with the devs. It's the way the play store sees the nexus 7. USA today has a tablet version of their app. Directv has a tablet version. On the galaxy tab 8.9 for instance, I could get those. Maybe it's something to do with build.prop?

OOoohhh I see I'm so sorry I misunderstood.
I saw that the USA app though says its for both phones and tablets. the direcTV one though , says not compatible with my device... of course we can always download the APK from somewhere but i think this calls for a petition to google to make sure we are getting the maximum experience on our devices.
the Wallet app I can understand, with the security thing and whatever but this? this is recidulous. and Now that You've mentioned it, I actally had a few apps on my nexus 10 which i cannot install on my nexus 7 (tablet apps)
weird right?

Do you think we can edit the build prop or something to fool the play store into thinking we are using a nexus 10?

He's not talking about the launcher tablet ui. He's talking about the honeycomb style combines bar.

You DO get tablet apps if you want. Changes in DPI determine app layout. PA lets you choose DPI on an app to app basis without trashing your market. Meaning modifications to build.prop are broad and make your market think you are a tablet which for some apps is bad, so they don't do that.

In most cases yes. However (for whatever reason) some companies/developers choose to publish two separate apps to the Play Store - one for phones and one for tablets, and unless your device is identified as a tablet the tablet version of the app is marked as incompatible (and the phone version doesn't include the tablet layout so it isn't available by dpi/layout changes).
Again, however, this is something that the app devs should be sorting - provide one apk that contains all layouts and the problem is solved (because then you can use PA or whatever to use whichever layout you like).

I think there was a patched playstore apk that removes country/device restrictrions.... I don't remember if it needed Xposed or not.... I forgetbut im pretty sure i used it before on one of my old phones
I want to give my Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) to my youngest son as a wifi only gaming device. I don't want him to have browser or direct Internet access. I basically want restricted user mode like there is on the tablet versions of Android. I have been trying for 2 days to find a way to make that happen. I have multi user setup but the second profile never loads. Has anyone else done this and had success? I am running Cyanogen 11 but I just want anything that will work this way. I have tried Parental control apps but none of them work as well as the restricted profile on tablets either. I don't care what rom I need to run to make this work.
Vanir rom has multi user support like tablets. Should work

Thank you so much mrgnex!! That works perfectly.
I am new to this type of work, I recently just followed a guide to unlock, root, and install 4.2.2 on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I used the WugFresh? tool and it seemed to go pretty smooth.
However, now my phone will crash several times a day. I get messages that bluetooth has stopped working, or the lockscreen has stopped working, and sometimes it just won't turn the screen on and I need to pull the battery.
Can someone recommend a good ROM that I can push to the device that is tried and tested? I don't know where to find ROMs, how to compare them, or what is best for me. I just want the latest version of stock Android on my almost 2 year old Galaxy Nexus.
I was looking at this page:
[Can't post link as I am a new user...]
and I think I would want the ROM under:
Factory Images "mysid" for Galaxy Nexus "toro" (Verizon CDMA/LTE)
called '4.2.2 (JDQ39)'
I have attached a couple images showing the 'About Phone' so you can see what I currently have.
Thanks in advance,
David
I recommend Shiny ROM. It's pretty much 4.4.2 without any modifications. For me, it's been the most stable of KitKat Roms.
