Running tablet versions of apps

What do you guys think about having tablet versions of apps installed, like the Chrome, gmail, netflix apps from the nexus 7 etc? I think some of those apps would be great for the note's 2 screen size.

If you are rooted, you can achieve this by editing a line in your build.prop
Screen density, i believe--- change it from 320 to 160, reboot, and clear your Play data and voila, your phone now thinks its a tablet.
I haven't tried this out, myself, but if you have any issues, just change the value back to what it was originally, and clear the market data again.

This is why im hoping someone ports paranoid over

The only problem with that it would be for all apps, I would like an option in stock kind of paranoid android, because not all apps look good in tablet mode

I tried to install an .Apk file for the tablet version of sketchbook pro. And while it worked the screen only showed the very middle of the window. So if there was a way to get the app to resize itself without changing the build.prop file that would be nice too. I'm not rooted either.

I installed SplashTop HD apk and i had the same issue, it worked, but only displayed the center of the screen for me.

My galaxy tab 10.1 had a mode where you could switch between "tablet/phone" modes but I haven't seen it since I got ICS. I wonder if someone could figure it out. lol

Hopefully there will be some way to get Sketchbook Pro running on these. I sold my old tablet (Lenovo ThinkPad) to order the Note 2 and for some reason didn't think about if Photoshop Touch or Sketchbook Pro would run on them. :C

I Been waiting For this for Some time now all these Stock roms Suck ass I Have Paranoid android on my i717

A few JB mod requests

Since I updated to jellybean my phones performance has been top notch and I am very satisfied except for a few missing mods. I'm currently on stock jb and I was wondering if somebody could make these mods.
1) skip track from volume keys when screen off. (on ics the exposed installer worked but it no longer does on jb)
2) Touch wiz inverted/themed gapps like the messaging app.
Other than waiting on the rom shop to theme my phone. I feel these 2 mods is all that stock rom needs.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Alot of others would like those features as well. I've been reading quite a bit for the feature and just might go with the easy route and purchase a music player with the mod.

I'm hoping we'll have it soon enough. I've been using power amp since forever and don't want to switch.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Found this but it doesn't flash for our device, I'm guessing cause of the script or something is for the international version... maybe someone can look into it for our phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770564

I'd also like to have that feature on the stock music player. I don't really care for any of the other music players. I would really like to see the AM/PM removed from the status bar on stock rooted 4.1.1 if anybody has a flashable zip for that

For the status bar you'll have to wait on the rom shop update by evil. He removes am pm and centers it plus you can pick the theme.

As per my reply to your question you asked in a rom thread, no probably not. Most devs/cooks don't want to learn how to smali edit and such which is needed for that to work.

I've had my share of smali, isn't that located in the frameworks of the ROM?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

We had it in a lot if earlier roms, but it never quite worked right so it was pretty much scrapped. I think it was flickering when you turned the screen off, or it would do the animation then flash the homescreen (or whatever you were just looking at) right before actually turning off.
To my knowledge, quite a few devs worked on fixing it but were never able to. Now that we are on official jb though...I dont know.

New google camera

I found this
http://en.miui.com/thread-4447-1-1.html

Thx ! Works fine on my Nexus 4

- Does photo sphere work aftr installing it?
- Is root required?
- Also, its written on various blogs that it will replace existing gallery.. so do we need to back up the existing images/videos etc?

Can we install this alongside pur stock camera app like a regular apk, or do we have to install it as a system app and replace the old one?

Yes, photo sphere works. Root is best because if you install as apk it will install to data/app, so you will need to go the system/app and backup & delete or rename as bak the previous version. Existing images and videos are still there.

I have not installed it yet as I am at work. I saw it posted on the forum and they all said it worked good so I thought I'd share

I installed it from someone who posted it in another thread on XDA earlier this morning.
Liking the improvements to both the camera and the gallery and at least to me the camera doesn't seem as sluggish as before.

What baseband/radio are you using? I found that version 33 and below break some of the sensors on both this new version and the current 4.2 camera software.

same on my phone, stock rom/kernel.
it takes only one hemisphere, definitely not getting the sensors right.
the rest of the dots that should be on the other hemisphere, just overlay the already taken pics.

I think this is something of what we gonna see in next android os
My S4 is on steroids!!!

Thanks, some good improvements, but with no simple way to cache maps and no way at all (that I can find) to add the Zoom Buttons, I've reverted back to the previous version. Hopefully these issues will be addressed.

Im pretty sure this is common knowledge at this point... but disable location aware and location history in google location settings and get much much better battery life.

This new update is junk
They removed my places, which gives a lot of useful info. Some stuff is still in app, but only some, and it's spread all over.
Removed offline maps feature. If course you can still somewhat save what you see on screen, but come on guys, the real feature us gone. Once you save you screen maps for offline use, there's no way to pick and choose to delete them later.
Plus removed a lot of other useful things.
Navigation has been changed, and not for the better. It's not separate app, but it's within maps now.
Some part are indeed better and more fluid,
BUT OVERALL, IT'S LIKE TAKING ONE STEP FORWARD, WHILE TAKING THREE STEPS BACK IN GOOGLE MAPS DEVELOPMENT !!!

You are complaining about a beta.. something that everyone knows is clearly not perfect. So by writing in all caps that this release was three steps backwards, was nothing but pointless. Im just trying to let you know that this isnt how its gonna be forever. In my eyes, this was a great step forward and a very promising lead in the right direction.

No, that's not entirely true
I was not complaining, but constitutional the facts.
I've tried nothing apps, old & new version, side by side on 2 phones.
And according to official Google post in blog about this new release, Google itself clearly states that things I've "complained" about, are gone from app.
And as soon as version 7 came out, majority of reviews on play store, reflect the same very negative opinion.

Multi Window within Multi Window. Pretty Sweet!

So I just figured out this pretty sweet feature.
If you have two windows side by side.
Then replace one window with another app (drop app from multi window bar on top of one of already opened multi window app)
do this a couple times with favorite apps
Now hit the blue dot between the two screens and hit the option on end that I thought looks like a folder
Now you can scroll threw all apps that you had open while in multi window mode.
If you haven't heard of this feature, thanks would be nice:laugh:

Can you make the guide more clear because it doesn't make any sense to me? The folder option only opens the apps that are already in the App, what's new here?
