I rooted my Note 2 (amazingly easy via Note toolkit, thanks), then installed Rom Toolbox and set the DPI to 180. Guess what - NO TABLET MODE! Yes, some apps were with split screen interface, but I saw no navigation bar and no unified notification bar. I am sorely missing the nav bar to the point that I might go back to my beloved Galaxy Nexus.
I guess Samsung have thrown stock Android tablet mode completely out with their Note 2 ROMs.
I can see that Paranoid Android is a ways off, and despite myself I like the S Pen and its associated features, so I was hoping to switch to tablet mode and have the best of both worlds. No luck.
Anyone have any idea how to improve this situation?
It seems like its your first time using any non-nexus phone
There is no tablet mode in stock touchwiz/sense etc if you lower dpi...
They just decrease in size, and apps like keyboard which dont have a "tablet mode" in them FC.
However in Note I there WAS a way to introduce navigation bar for stock rom too...ill post it here so please tell me if it works
Ill be awaiting your feedback :good:

This is the mod...
You just made me remind it
How dare you , just look at my signature! But yes, after Android 4.0, I have been using Galaxy Nexus only - in between I bought a Galaxy Note, flashed stock ICS ROM on it, and enjoyed the tablet benefits. But its horrendous battery life on that ROM made me return to the GNex. I bought Note 2 on launch and am already regretting it because TW is so FUGLY compared to AOSP JB. Thanks for sharing the mod, I will try it and report back

So you are willing to go back to nexus to have the navigation bar that you miss on the Note 2 with 180 dpi? Sure ParanoidAndroid is a solution.. but that means losing S Pen functionality. Then again.. so does moving back to nexus. Might aswell stick to Note 2 legends.

Actually that's why I am kind of torn. I love the S Pen functions, and NOTHING ELSE, on TW. And I love EVERYTHING on AOSP JB .

Why not use the Nova Launcher then ? Sure, it's not stock JB, but gets rid of TW and keeps the goodies intact.. (except for the buddy pages, but these are not that significant...)

bro can i know if the mod worked? so that i can add it to my jb mod collection
Stock ROMs does include some of the TW tablet roms components - for example, minimode-res.apk - is responsible for running tablet miniapps on Samm tablets. It has no reason to be on phone ROM but it is included. (Is also included in JB stock rom) Only reason why tablet mode do not work well, is some of the NOTE apks are HDPI+XHDPI, but as soon as you lower your DPI, android will start to recognize apps as LARGE/XLARGE MDPI/HDPI and there is no programmed layout for the apps to be running this mode.
See my signature, there is a hacked ICS SystemUi.apk from Tablet 7,7, which is running fine on Note1 with 213dpi and 160dpi(160dpi breaks call functionality) - mod taken from US Note1, thanks Dagr8, Wanam might be there also included, Qaazi76 for posting.... Thank to them, hopefully there will be also interest to run tablet mode on JB Note2 from devs.
After i just replaced that SystemUi on Note1, you have "microtablet" on 160dpi, with miniapps running from Note 10,1, some apps, Splanner, Email from Tablets are running....but there are some gugs. 213dpi works fine, also calls work just Contacts.apk is broken but still usable as a Phone for daily in TW tablet mode. Anyway, this is NOTE 2 related so...i believe that stock JB rom is capable to run Tablet, just needs some hacking.
So, as soon as some samsung tablet gets JB, hopefully some of the previous hackers (dagr8,etc...) will work on tablet UI for stock TW rom. Or, they may take the previous hacked systemUi as a sample, or somebody might just try to replace the systemUi from the thread just to try.
Hopefully they will work on it as i still keep N1 cause tablet mode. Sorry Samsung, but i see no sense to have big screen with big fonts, icons etc...Your stock UI for NOTEs is wrong!!!
Layout after setting to 213dpi - is very OK for the screen size (I mean Note1)
160dpi - is too small

This is a must feature that I NEED.
Does anyone know how I can make it easy to toggle it???
If that option is not available, is there a way I make it go away??? There are a few Roms I wanna try that doesn't support this feature.

That's not exactly what I'm asking. I know it does do that though. I have tried CM9, APEX, AOKP(current), Paranoid Android, Codename Android, and JellyBean.
I just want to know how I can do this(like remove the Softkeys entirely or create a toggle) when I find a Rom that looks interesting that doesn't support the feature.
I dont own the Nexus but on my Galaxy Tab I have Galaxy Task 14 rom and it comes with an called "Hide Bar". It hides the Honeycomb soft keys. You should give this app a try and I think you have to be rooted.

you named more or less all custom ROMs you will need to ask the dev to implement it, i think. don't that there is an app solution or sth like that.
Am I mistaken, or is this a feature that is readily available in certain ROMs? You're talking about getting rid of the Back/Home/Recents, allowing full 720p glory, right? I'm trying to remember.. I want to say it would definitely be a feature on Paranoid Android, where you can hold the power button to enable/disable the soft keys (it was one of the icons at the top). Hopefully this helps.. Paranoid Android is the way to go if you absolutely need some certain kind of crazy/abnormal setup. (I really want to use it more than I do.. until this phone no longer is my primary contact number.)

There are many ICS Roms that I wanna try(not switching to JB yet. tried it and I'll let devs toy with it more) that doesn't support it to "maintain" the experience of stock.
And I have seen that honeycomb app. It only works for Honeycomb.
On the LMT thread there is a full screen toggle app that let's you hide the soft keys with one cluck. Its called fullscreen. apk.

OK I found it but it doesn't seem to work for AOKP(I Know, it already has a toggle, just testing before I switch over).
Does it only work when there is no toggle built in???
EDIT1: NVM I figured out that u must reboot for the toggle to have any effect.
It works though.

Yeah it needs a reboot to work. But its the only option that works on jelly bean for now. If you are still on aokp then why don't you like the built in feature?

I'm getting irritated of all features in AOKP.
I don't know why but the features are really irritating me.
I've decided to go stock and move with the fastest and most battery efficient Rom.
The Redemption Rom.
And lemme tell u it's fast.
And actually I do use the built in softkey mod feature. Just fed up with the lags and many features(dunno why, I was getting mad though every time I used my phone).

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Tired of the wait and the reviews coming back that the battery isn't all that great compared to the Galaxy Nexus (which I have and totally sucks haha).
1. I saw a screen shot with on screen buttons, is this a ROM feature or something that can be flashed?
2. Currently I don't think any ROM has multiwindow and wifi calling together but when the official multiwindow update comes out, we should see both features included in a ROM right?
3. I saw the phone in person and it was just HUGE. I don't mind the physical size but everything on the screen just looked big, like it was blown up. Is there anyway to include more on the screen?
4. If i install a launcher (Apex Launcher), will I lose any S-Pen features?

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!

If you install paranoid android or PAC ROM which supports hybrid properties, you can enable tablet UI which combines the navbar and status bar in one. Navigation buttons on the left, status on the right.
Google images of paranoid android tablet UI to see what I mean.
Check out full!screen and PieControl...works on stock, just need to be rooted.
Ill give those a look.
Not particularly in the mood to play rom switching just yet on it. Id like stockrom with that. I saw a tutorial on it, but too much hassle of mixing files and breaking stock launcher.
Already rooted, no issues with that.
I really fail to see how having the buttons spaced out, center aligned has become the accepted norm.
I'm indifferent on status bar on top, consolidating is fine, not important.
But jeez, my left thumb is killing me from stretching over.
I really like Pie. I have it set on the left edge, non centred (so it appears directly below my thumb). Even less movement of your left thumb than you were asking for!
I use the one in the ROM, not the standalone app. Anyone tried both? The app seems much more customisable, but does it lag much because it's an app?

I run both full!screen and pie at the same time, and no performance hit at all. (N7 2013 16gb 4.3 stock/rooted)

If you install paranoid android or PAC ROM which supports hybrid properties, you can enable tablet UI which combines the navbar and status bar in one. Navigation buttons on the left, status on the right.
Google images of paranoid android tablet UI to see what I mean.

Also unless I'm smoking crack again, I dont see a paranoid android or PAC rom available for the 2013 model.

What you smoke in your spare time is up to you. Do you have flo or deb? I've heard deb doesn't work too well, no modem support, but the focus is on the 4.4 build right now rather than getting it to work on 4.3.

Many thanks. Ok, WTF am I smoking. I saw the Android Development thread and was all in there, tried an AOSP, etc.
I saw the original android dev thread but some reason associated it in my head as original Nexus 7.
Yea I believe I have Flo, that should be the 16gb wifi only.
No worries. Yeah flo is the wifi only one. I have the same model as you, and am running PAC. Word of warning, the last 'stable' RC is actually unstable. Go with a nightly.

I was reading that Paranoid Android was leaning to go away from the tabletui, so I would guess PAC would be similar.
Any big differences so far with PACs 4.3 vs Kitkat?
Since I just got it I put the rooted stock KitKat in first thing so I don't know what I'm already used to vs going "down" to 4.3
Do you have a link to this? The hybrid properties has quite a few settings, tablet UI mode, dpi settings etc. I'd like to know what they're talking about. I have the navbar hidden anyway.
I haven't tried 4.4 yet, so I can't give an opinion. But from what I've read, most of the UI changes are in the google experience launcher not kitkat.

Its as if they dont anticipate people holding the tablet in landscape with both hands and doing mostly thumbs.
Maybe it's because I'm a gamer from the NES/Nintendo days and treat it like a controller.
Are we really supposed to hold with one hand and stab away with our index?
Enable Pie. I just re-enabled the navbar for a little while to remember what it looked like. Even with the buttons aligned to the left, it felt so far away in comparison to Pie. If you're likening this to a game controller, it's like the buttons are right under your thumb.
I'm disappointed Google's removing tablet UI. It's not just the navbar, but a different layout to a number of apps such as Settings.

It does since its a new firmware near to vanilla kitkat with more customisation.

to vanish the touchwiz lag, simply stop using touchwiz and use Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher
Yeah no lags on CM

The TouchWiz lag absolutely vanishes on CM. I also wanted to get rid of the Samsung bloat, so CM was great for that as well. I didn't have much use for the Samsung apps and TouchWiz features, and did not consider them value added. I don't miss them, with the sole exception of MultiView.

I agree with everything you said. For MultiWindow on CM, use XHaloFloatingWindow. It works great!

Will have to check that out. Actually looks like better interface than MultiView, as the method of pulling up the MV bar on the right side resulted in me accidentally opening the MV bar a lot, when simply swiping in that area.
You should stay on the beautiful lagfree stock

XHFW is a better interface. The windows can float anywhere, not just two tiled windows. I ran it in stock for awhile with MW disabled.
