[Q] Tablet UI - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi xda
I just want to ask about something, coz I've already search everywhere, and can't get the answer
Ok, here it is. I'm running stock odex DMB2, rooted, and happy with simplistic, xposed, etc. Now I want to try something different, like Tablet UI mod.. I had try xposed app settings. Changing the apps DPI.. Yes it worked, but the TouchWiz didn't get the bottom navbar.. Can you guide me the steps to make my Note 2 look like this (see attachment;most preferably the bottom notification bar..it's interesting..), while my Note 2 still running stock odex DMB2 (because I'm quite satisfied with the stock rom;didn't want to change to custom rom )? Thanks

Adding a line to build.prop (at the end) will enable sofykey navigation bar(virtual key)
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
But, I'm not sure whether it'll be as in the screen shot.

Oh.. I don't have any experience in this. the Nav bar might be like the one in screen shot only if it's dpi is decreased. I think there is Xposed MOD for this but you may have to search for it.
Again I have no clue on how to make it work. We might have to experiment for some time.

I've already tried that to (Xposed Tablet UI). But my status bar is gone and there is a pop up saying: unfortunately system UI has stopped. :silly:
I just read a message from rovo (the one who created xposed framework), he said that it all depends on the ROM itself. In some case, there are ROMs that can handle that xposed tablet UI, but some ROMs can't. Unfortunately, my ROM can handle all kind of xposed mod (greenify, icon themer, sms delivery, multiwindow, etc), but not for this one (xposed tablet ui)

~~~calling all techs~~~

I DO NOT want a lockscreen on my HTC EVO. I already uninstalled the htc lockscreen then I was left with a transparent vanilla lockscreen that you slide from left to right. I dont want any lockscreen. please help.
Did you perform any Google searches at all? I found this in, literally, 5 seconds:
Bye Bye Lock Screen
all of these no lock apps work only half the time, so I'm so tired of dealing with lock screens. I have already used no lock app, and it worked 60% of the time then my lockscreen kicks back in. just want to uninstall all lockscreens even the vanilla one
Switchpro has a toggle that disables the lockscreen. It's in there as "auto lock screen". Works just like it's supposed to.
so I dont want to use anyones half working apps to block my lockscreens. I want to literally go into a file on my evo and uninstall all lockscreens, HTC and Vanilla
Switchpro works great and works 100% of the time.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Go get a flip-phone.
No, really, I'm dead serious. Go get an old flip phone and use that.
well this sucks

lol.........lol
You would probably have to decompile the framework and find the file.....probably the services.jar file....but that's just my guess.
come on I know some of you are tired of having an app that trys to block your factory lockscreen only to have it kick back in sometime. For example if you have LockBot pro lockscreen running, it does a ok job trying to keep your factory lockscreen not to kick in. So I just dont want any kind of lockscreen running. that way my lockbot pro can run without any issues

this has been hell for awhile now, all people keep saying is to install some half working app from the market...everyone of those dont work all the time, I've test just about every one, and my factory lockscreen shows its ugly face after a while
Like I said...No HTC or Vanilla lockscreens... this is the vanilla lockscreen I'm talking about that kicks in after the uninstall of HTC Lockscreen I'm left with this:
and dont have Tmobile I have sprint this pic is the only example I can find of the vanilla lockscreen

Yeah, It will require some code editing. I don't believe that there is a simple uninstall. Try decompiling the services.jar and see if you can find the lockscreen call.
No Lock app from the market, works like a charm.

Are you running a task killer? That could be killing the lock apps.

REQUEST - MIUI Lockscreen PORT

i wonder if its possible to pull the MIUI lockscreen into a sense rom. i dont like the "click-on-colored-babyish-iphone-icons-style" of MIUI but the lockscreen is awesome!
Any ideas if there is a way to do this?

Run launcher pro with MIUI and you won't have to deal with those "colored-babyish-iphone-icons"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they still show that style on the app drawer or if placed on the homescrens?
I like a lot of things with the MIUI interface, but the thing that drives me away is the iphone-esque menu when you hit the menu button. I love the phone/dialer though.
MIUI should be enjoyed as a whole product, not in bits and pieces. But I'm sure someone could do it for you.

Laucher Pro will let you replace the icons with whatever ones you want when you put it on the desktop - there are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to change the look of the homescreens - but if it really is the menu system you don't like then hopefully someone can try and port the lockscreen for you
(FYI - here's my Incredible running MIUI and Launcher Pro)

i was thinking of making this exact thread. it would be great to get that lockscreen but I was reading somewhere that it is non-trivial to port it to CM6

Non-trivial? So you're saying it's important to port it to CM6?
If that's the case, it could be ported to MIUI as well, since they are both AOSP roms.
Unless of course you mean trivial, which makes more sense...

Non-trivial in this sense means not easy.From what I have read,the lockscreen is pretty tied in to the Rom.

Yeah, this would be incredible if this was possible. I enjoy MIUI, but it has its pro's and con's. I really LOVE the lock screen, but on the other hand I really am not a fan of all the white/light grey system menus. With the number of people that are obsessed with theming their Android devices I'm surprised there isn't any option to change all those menus to a darker scheme.

[Q] Scrollable Dock (TouchWiz)

A few days ago, I started modifying my stock launcher on my Galaxy Tab3 (GT-P5200). I've focused on the dock.
Till now I've managed to modify the launcher so far, that I can store up to 13 icons on the dock.
I also managed to remove the text from the icons. This is how my screen looks at the moment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I want to continue modifying the dock by making it scrollable (like the homescreen or appdrawer).
And before anyone suggests me exactly, what I do not want, I'll explain briefly what is important for me.
I don't want to use a different launcher (like Nova / AWD / Apex / or something like that).
I also do not want to use any other app, which modifies my launcher.
I simply want to modify my stock launcher (TouchWiz) by modifying the code itself
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me or at least could explain to me
where the scrolling of the homescreens is defined in the code.
.
Wonder how you get 13 icons in the dock? Wish I had that option.

Well, ... I just modified SecLauncher3.apk. But I recognized that these 13 apps won't survive a reboot.
When I reboot my device, the system/launcher (or whatever it is) resets the dock, so that only 10 apps
will be shown after reboot. I still have the possibility to put up to 13 apps on the dock, but after reboot,
only 10 apps will be shown.

Oh, yeah...thanks! I had never concidered (with my limited knowledge) that the launcher is also just an apk running on android. big ah-ha moment for me there. Thanks for the eye opener.

Change height of on screen buttons/area?

Like my title says I'm curious if there's a way or an app to easily change the height of the on screen buttons maybe make him half as short as they are now
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm interested in this too. Hopefully there is a way. Waists too much screen space
My suggestion is to just root the phone and install GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys... I did that today, and it's amazing being able to use the full 5" screen for all my apps. Navigation buttons are just a touch/swipe away too.

I tried about GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, but I don't like having to swipe up to show the keys. I wouldn't mind making them just a little bit shorter.
However, if that isn't possible, I wouldn't mind GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys if I could use the stock HTC Sense 6 system icons for the navigation bar when using GMD auto hide. Is there a way to extract them and do this?

anyone try gravitybox? that works great. change size and colors
Gravity box is the best
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
If you have see no sense in the overload of Gravity Box features and just want to set height of the Notification bar, I would recommend "Dimensions Editor" for Xposed Framework. You can even change the position of Toasts with it (also the Height of Notification Bar).
Trying still now.

HTC Browser hides navbar, but white space is shown instead

Hello, don't know if it's a new feature from the recent update or not, however I never noticed that before.
HTC Browser after a while hides the navbar.
That would be great, but it's useless for me since the page is not resized, i attached two pictures to let you see that.
Is that normal? I'm using InsertCoin ROM with ART and it may be a ROM issue, but I don't know.

Maybe worth using GMD hide softkeys from the market place. I use it and its brilliant!
This doesn't solve the issue, I'd prefer keeping the navbar than hiding it if the extra space is white.
No it hides the navbar and gives you the extra screen space. Very awesome app. I used it on my previous phones.

I just tried the free one and it gives you an alternative bar with different icons. It doesn't hide the stock one (i can do that from build.prop file, but since the only issue is with the browser I don't want to use another whole bar)

That's what I'd like.
Can I ask which Rom do you use? And do you use art?
Immersive Mode (99cents on Google Play) hides nav bar without needing root.
Same issue here, I'm using Renovate 4.4.3 on ART as well! I'm using chrome beta now, it just keeps the navbar without going immersive.
