This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, and indeed it's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank.
Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. i'm calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.

Franko, for his Kernel

20120521v0.9beta: P.A.L., PROBABLY THE MOST AWESOME FEATURE EVER
First time in Android history that Per-App-Layout has been realized
Comes with a better panel
Allows you to switch between Phone mode (with curtain and bear paw buttons) and tablet UI seamlessly. PAD & PAL work in both domains. That means you can have 3d Youtube in 320 dpi standard Phone mode or mobile Chrome without those horrible tabs in 192 Dpi Tablet mode.
Since PAL solved all scaling issues our Trebuchet fork is now obsolete. It comes with Nova 1.1.4 projected into mobile layout.
20120517v0.6beta: Bugfixes, new PAD panel, Fullscreen-toggle
Fresh cm9 repo
Franco Milestone 3
Bugfixes for PAD preventing it from screwing up some apps (notification icons were bigger for some apps, launchers would display icons bigger or smaller, etc.)
New PAD panel, lists DPI's, can delete values again
Powermenu Fullscreen-toggle, this finally allows you to play games without navigationbar!
20120504v0.4preview: Apps were too small? Problem solved!
First ever Android ROM with Per-App-Density feature, it once and for all solves the problem that was tablet mode. You never, ever have to deal with apps that are too small again since now you can decide how apps, systemapps, framework-elements and even widgets are scaled by defining their native dpi seperately from the system DPI. Its an experimental feature and for now these values are defined in your /system/build.prop - it has drawbacks (maily notifications can look a bit strange), but that will be fixed in time. Warning: Keyboards MUST run in system DPI!
A list of apps and predefined values is included, this should include most of what you need. everything else is blown up to 210 dpi per standard. if you still need apps to be bigger, get a build.prop editor from the market, edit and reboot.
Trebuchet fixes: Folder Name cut-off, landscape name cut-off, divider bars
Please set your Font to "Normal" in the System Settings, you won't need "Huge" anymore and all this does now is provoke overlapping.
20120430v0.3alpha:
Freshest CM9 Repo
Forked Trebuchet and rewrote its layout and parts of its code to adapt it to tablet mode. I went for stock look plus tablet controls and changed the number of icons/widgets shown in the drawer. It's butter-smooth aswell. It has kinks left, those will be solved in the coming days!
100% fixed android standard keyboard
Better Bootanimation
Fixed Gapps package based on 20120429 including Gmail and a working Market
20120427v0.2pre-alpha-gapps:
Fixed Gapps package based on 20120422 including Gmail and a working Market
20120427v0.2pre-alpha:
PARANOIDANDROID custom bootanimation, still has some kinks - first sketch though
crystall clear thumbnails in the recents window, pixel mush no more!
brightness setting easier accessable
ICS toggle button fixes
20120425v0.1pre-alpha:
freshest CM9/nightly repo build (25/04)
recents window way nicer than before. close to stock. i only need to get rid of that darn gradient
keyboard looks like stock now
new bootanimation
camera works
comes with cm9 repo kernel, no color tint
notification clock is smaller, won't overlap so easy
20120425v0.0pre-alpha:
freshest CM9/nightly repo build set to tablet mode
Hacked Nova. I know 1.1 is out, but this one is still closer to stock
Androids keyboard reacts hellish in tablet mode. I fixed it but its still too large, tomorrow i'll fix it proper
I was trying make to recents window look more like stock. COULD be the thumbnails are a tad bigger than before but i'll get to that don't worry
2 notifications icons max in portrait for now to prevent overlapping
Settings comes as the first item in the notification panel, hated to scroll down every time
ALOT will follow, please be patient, i made all that stuff blind because it needed ~13 hours to compile. now compiling is alot faster and i'll see to it that we will have true hybrid mode very soon

im currently uploading a test version for you guys, i cannot guarantee that it'll work, im doing it blindly as i have maguro. if you dont wanna put yourself into a risky position, do not flash. although it really should be fine.

This looks epic

Looks awesome! Will def try it out! Tks for this!

there you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?rdejrqkw6oc5r7q
please report back if its working, if not i have to take away the link and try something else. thanks!

This looks pretty crazy, I definitely want to check this out, probably wait until I hear something/anything though.

This does look nice.. I'll have to do a how to install and review video

does that mean it works? coz that would be super!

About to flash will report back in a few.
Thank you for working on this/ bringing it to us
Edit: It works xD
And BTW The Bootani is awesome haha

Looks awesome, I've been running tablet mode (the other way) since last night and have noticed some likes and dislikes.
I love the all in one bar at the bottom but don't like the button sizing in some of the apps and other places and I like how the settings menu and gmail are split like a tablet
Might try to flash this when I get home to see how it compares
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

yeah i know what you mean. i've done that before and tablet really has alot of kinks. thats why i grasped the idea to do something about it. im only sitting on it for four days unfortunately so many things need more work. but heres a list so you know what to expect
screwed launcher: partially fixed
screwed phone, incall crashes: fixed, needs layout fixes aswell to look better
market incompatibility: fixed 100%
overlapping clock: fixed
overlapping notification icons: fixed
ugly as heck recents window: partially fixed
screwed android keyboard: fixed 100%
UI elements are too small: soon
apps are too small: i can make some hacks, but i'll look into a more general solution like per app dpi. no idea though if i can pull it off

Where did you get those awesome face wallpapers? They look great!

I'm using SwiftKey 3 Beta and the keyboard is ridiculously small but other than that I love this tablet look!

i believe it has a hight setting to adjust it. keyboards that work perfect are fixed android one from this rom, skype, thumbkeys, and yeah well swiftkeys so i heard - but i cant type with that thing, makes me dizzy to type and check type and check type and check, so i havent bothered to try it in tabmode.

Thanks for this awesome rom

Real Multiwindow mode?

Is there a way to enable MultiWindow apps like we can on the Note 10.1? I mean real windows, like the cascading type.
Its really an awesome feature, and for some reason I thought the Note 2 would have the same thing since it came out first and advertised Multitasking so much, but then I buy it and it has this silly window sliding thing that can only run 2 apps like cornerstone did.
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the phone, I just thought it should have had this from the beginning?
Could there be some dpi mod or tablet mode modification that could enable this feature?
Here is a screen shot of how it works on the Note 10.1

Thank you for the link.
I don't really need it anymore since I switched to more AOSP 4.2.2 roms.
I just wanted to have the info out there if someone else needed it.

Why would you switch to AOSP, out of interest? :/ If you can't stand touchwiz, use project AOSP, have you tried that?
As for multiwindow, probably owing to the smaller screen size IMO. Still yeah, I prefer windows - at least would've nice if they'd left the option for us to choose

Nice, I didn't realize there was such a good looking themed TW rom like this. I will give this a try, there are a few things I miss from TW.
Thanks for the info.
And yes that was one of the main reason I switched, Touch Wiz is hideous and I got tired of trying to theme it and themes being half broken.
But now that I switched AOSP just feels like a breath of fresh air, nice ui for multi density configurations, less ram usage at boot, 4.2.2 lockscreens and widgets, a nice navbar (I disable my hardware keys). CM Theming engine. AOKP/PA/CM10 features.
And whole bunch of other little things I'm forgetting.
And soon we may be getting some Window Management.

Yeah multi DPI + 4.2.2 lockscreen widgets is definitely cool. That said, battery life is sub par on almost all AOSP roms, and you miss a hell lot of touchwiz features. IF it's mainly the touchwiz layout, Project AOSP should pretty much fix that for ya as I was on the same boat as yourself before

Its not so bad tbh. I'm using Slimbean 4.2.2 atm and I get screen on time of about 5-6hours almost the same as most of the touchwiz ROMs here. With aosp it just feels lighter and changing dpi without worrying about broken layout, incompatibility, etc is no longer. Even if battery performance is slightly lowered its still worth it. At least you don't have to pay anything for a complete customization as oppose to Simplistic framework that you need to buy in order to have that ease in customizing touchwiz ROMs.

I get 6 hours at worst and mostly around 7-8 hours on average. Oh and I get almost everything without simplistic on Project AOSP, but bought it anyways to get the full AOSP look. What incompatibility issues are you talking about?
I see no point in missing out on Touchwiz features and my favorite kernel Perseus (including, but not limited to the color calibrations and enhanced video playback) for those. I love AOSP on my Nexus 7, and have PA on it, but highly unlikely that I'd put on an AOSP rom on Note II.
If you really like it, good for you then

Well you see ive developed a habit of always reducing the DPI to around 240 and ive gotten use to it, and i like to heavily theme the rom. On the Sammy based roms, when applying a flash-able touchwiz theme and reducing the DPI through Build.prop editor/ xposed fw, the theme is suddenly absent in some parts of the UI such as the power menu. You need to download a theme thats been modified to work for a lower DPI. Basically the problem is it feels bloated after flashing so many different mods to get the result i want, whereas, on the aosp its all there and centralized into the Settings menu.
I cant help but think why the huge difference in size between an aosp and Samsung stock rom. My slimbean rom is only about 200-300MB with gapps and extras whereas the stock rom is around 1 - 1.2GB.

Well if you're that into modifying DPI, then yeah. As for bloat, you could choose which samsung apps to install while setup, so no biggie for me

Tablet UI?

I must be missing something simple here, but when I fake out the density in my build.props (eg 250 to act as 9", 226 for 10", etc...) I see individual apps start drawing in tablet mode (eg dual pane in Gmail). However, the overall system UI never switches out of "phablet mode". Has anybody successfully gotten their n7 flo into full tablet ui a la the n10? (no top status bar, etc...)

What you are referring to as "tablet UI" was depreciated awhile ago. What you have now is the tablet UI.

That.

You'll probably have to wait for Paranoid Android to update for the old-style tablet-UI to come back.
Really, the only thing I miss about that tablet UI is the placement of the software buttons. The rest of it isn't anything too fancy.

Or every single custom rom which supported it too. 4.3 shouldn't be too different to not have the same options we had previously.

Ah, my bad - guess I've had my head stuck in custom roms cherry-picked from PA for too long
As far as Xposed, I just got sdk18 running via manual install via bits & pieces from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43923460&postcount=2249&nocache=1&z=526156020350754 and all of its various linked posts.
The one observation I had was that even though I was setting dp/res to 800x1280 in Xposed, to my eyes the actual appearance looks more like it's doing the math against 1200x1920. It's not a big deal, just my impression when I was coming up w/ dpi numbers for various apps.

Maybe I worded it wrong?
To me this is phablet mode because that is what it has always been called. Many people still like tablet UI so I doubt devs will stop supporting it on larger screens such as the nexus 7 or anything without hard back and home buttons really imho. Hopefully someone will make a flashable mod for tablet UI soon. Or custom ROM yay such as cm10.1 or carbon ROM or the 10 or 12 others that include it.
Does that clarify? God I love grumpy cat

I understand what you're trying to say. My point is that that "tablet mode" you speak of was deprecated with ICS. What you have on your Nexus 7 and the old Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10 IS the 'tablet UI' per Google. What you're talking about is a mod now.

Its a mod for sure. I suppose I see why you could make a case for calling it tablet UI but really since there is only 1 UI and not split its just the 4.3 UI plus that would get darn confusing to my bedrock brain cause its been called phablet mode on so many threads for so many of my tablets. I have been playing around with android a bit myself though Im just a noob but if someone doesn't work it out that is better than me I might dive in head first and probably blow up my garage in the process since I kinda love what I call tablet UI a lot. All in what you get used to probably.

Anybody else try the latest builds for the Xposed FW? I was going great but then chrome started crashing whenever I scrolled a page. Gmail did it occasionally, too - this happened whether or not I had customized those apps, or even bypassed the custom settings module completely. I restored to a nandroid from just before installing Xposed FW & all is well. Guess I'll stick to system-wide dpi changes for now; was just curious if anybody else had tried w/ success.

Okay i installed and reboot the tablet ui module but when i click on it it says it doesnt have a interface so how do i enable the tablet ui?

Um could be way wrong but changing DPI doesn't change into old school tablet mode. I think it goes by screen resolution and size and its might be tied to the launcher

Nope. But the first thing I did was go through and disable/uninstall every bit of bloatware that was possible. Phone is smooth as butter...

nah mine is nice and smooth. only typing lag I get is with swiftkey on hangouts bc hangouts is a horribly coded lagfest.

I had the very same issue. I discovered my fingerprint scanner didn't work and no one could hear me during phone calls. I also had what i thought was high battery usage (probably a bad fingerprint module). I exchanged mine for a new one, and that one works perfectly. Hope this helps.

I had that problem when I went to art runtime but switched back to dalvik and perfectly fine. Even on art my phone would turn on the screen for odd reasons and find myself calling someone but not even an issue on dalvik.

yea sorry to tell you but you def got a defective device... this phone is the smoothest and fastest device I have ever experienced... go get a new one before it is too late!

Everything has been pretty smooth for me. Only thing is the delay when using the recent apps button.

Wipe first then post..
Wipe first and then post. Being a new phone I really didn't think a wipe would help. After resetting it appears to work correctly the typing lag is gone and scrolling seems to transition fluidly. I'll play the rest of the day and see if it reverts or stays like this.
So to the developers. . What on a fresh , new phone would cause it to act laggy ? And how would a data reset correct it? We are not flashing roms, and the os is untouched during a factory reset.. it's not like I Odined the system over to replace a corrupt system file. Any thoughts ?

Mine works fine. Disabled a bunch of apps and slapped apex launcher on it. So far I'm happy just wishing for root still.

Is it laggy with battery saving mode on or even with normal mode?? I found my laggy and froze with battery saving mode on. I have tried to factory reset and do a rom recovery, disabled all the bloat but no help. so I request for a new one. If suggest if anything is not normal, just get a new one while you're under 14 days warranty period.

Yeah I just might.

Yep, mine has froze and reboot issue, I called VZ and they you should get it in 2 days. They will put the charge on your account (no need for credit card), once received the new device, just ship back the old one and they will credit back 312$ to your account. You must call VZ technical support, not customer service. Tech support has the power to do anything with your phone. Good luck!

The only time I've come across stuttering/lag is playing Sky Force 2014. This game will just not play smoothly on the Note 4. It's very fluid on the S5 however. Maybe it's the upgrade in resolution. I don't know.

Getting ridiculous lag in Hangouts and there is a bit of delay on the recent apps.
I chalk it up to Hangouts being crappy and Samsung being lazy with the recent apps impelentation.. everything else is butter.

Well here is the weird part about mine, it was lag free until i tried flashing a rom. N910w8 model. Then went to tri finger scanner and the app dont launch i get an error, just my luck

I am also getting lag in hangouts and it doesn't scroll down when I type a message and send it.
Also - Put the note 3 and note 4 next to each other, home screen, say "okay google" note 3 beats it by a full second every time.

I'm on art and I have no lag whatsoever it's as smooth as my m8 was and way smoother then my g3 was.

omfg that's the worst! my tab s does that. since day 1 it won't scroll down which lags it even harder. my note 4 does though, as did all my phones. but the tablet refuses to. I don't get why the hell it doesn't scroll automatically!

Did you turn off animation under the developer tab? It has to be at at least .5

Nova Launcher

I've been running TW since launch day and I've been considering using Nova Launcher. Has anyone been using Nova if so is it smoother? Have you noticed a difference in battery life? Do you lose any S-Pen and Multitasking functionality? Also could you share screenshots of your setup. Please feel free to share your experience with Nova and if you'd recommend it

I'm gonna answer the following questions; no, no, and no. Nova makes the phone more customizable not smoother; ie make folders for apps on the home screen. Battery life is for the use of the phone and how you use it; ie having many apps running, eating the crap out of your battery, or simply having that dreaded battery bug. The Spen does not have an impact on a launcher. I had pulled the SlimRoms launcher and installed it on my phone and worked fine with the Spen, no issues.

For me it's a little smoother. Battery life is about the same. S-pen works fine. I believe it uses a slightly less ram. Nova is very customizable. You won't be able to use some tw stock widgets such as calender. I use apw widgets as a replacement.
Here's a screen shot. Nothing special.

its all personal preference, really. Nova is very popular and is far more customizable. The only thing that you lose (that I can think of) is the ability to 'pin' S Notes to the homescreen as well as some TW widgets

I've been using Nova since 1 week after I got my phone. It isn't smoother (from what I've noticed), but you can speed up Nova in its settings, so it may become smoother if you play with it a bit.
No difference in battery life and no changes in multitasking. You do lose the ability to pin Action Memos (as mentioned in above post), and you can't use the Spen thing where you hover your pen over a folder and it expands so you can preview what's inside. Also, the stock weather and calendar widgets don't work right (just get a third party one like 1weather).
FYI, I'm using a TouchWiz theme in my screenshot lol. So it looks like TW, but is actually Nova.
I do recommend Nova due to its customizability, and especially because you can create multiple tabs (and folders) in the app drawer. Try the free version, and if you like it, buy the Prime version. That's all I can really say.

Think I might just take it for a spin and see if I like it.

hmm that's not too bad. I don't use s note so I doubt I'd lose much functionality

best thing about alternate launchers is that you can uninstall them and go back to TW. There really is NO reason not to try them.
