Can someone please point me to a ROM or mod that enables a stable, usable Tablet mode on my verizon galaxy nexus?
I know that I can change my dpi to 160 but I always get that system.ui crash.

Stick with 241 and you will be good to go. If you use something like NovaLauncher you can essentially get a nice tablet like UI going.

SystemUI crashes because you have navigation bar enabled (which tablets don't have). You can modify your framework-res.apk to hide the navigation bar (thread HERE) and use something like LMT launcher or button savior to get home/back/etc. keys. Then it won't crash anymore. I've done this and it works fine. If you are on the 4.0.4 verizon ROM, you can find the modified framework in the thread HERE (and you can find simple instructions to do it yourself) or flashable HERE.
Alternatively, I've read (but not tested) that adding the following to your build.prop will stop it from crashing at 160 dpi.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

I have the Kang ROM with the latest Nova launcher. What settings do I need to enable to make it tablet-like?

Yes, I have that but it must be used with the right ROM in order to fully function like a tablet (landscape mode)

Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant then. I am running the 4.0.4 ROM with Franco's kernel and have Nova Launcher has my default. I have my LCD Density switched to 241 and can auto-rotate into landscape mode as well. Hope this helps.

How would I get my menu buttons (back, home, open apps) menu on the bottom in tablet (landscape) mode?
They seem to always be stacked horizontally on the right side while I am in landscape mode. I want them to be on the bottom (just like on a tablet).
This is what I want

I gave you your answer. Read my previous post. You just need to hide the navigation bar. I messed around with it on my phone running verizon 4.0.4 by just making the required change to framework-res.apk and changing the screen density to 160 dpi. It's simple and you don't need to be a 'developer'. You ask for help, but don't give any specifics on what ROM version you have. I linked you to 4.0.4 version. If you're not using that verizon ROM, post your framework-res.apk and I'll mod it for you. It literally takes about 2 minutes to do (counting the time to upload it as an attachment here).

I'm pretty sure aokp has the ability to hide the navigation bar already. Look through the settings. Hide it and then switch to 160 dpi.

Looks like AOKP 27 is on 4.0.3.

I was doing the wrong option...
dumb me...
Thanks for all the help.
I finally got it working on my own.
One thing that remains and it's a biggie. I can't make or receive calls. The phone app crashes every time.
I did a lot of google searches and all the other devs are stuck at the same point.
However, I did find one dev in the Galaxy Note forums that made a ROM that supposedly works in tablet mode.
Any ideas?

Yeah unfortunately I haven't seen anything yet that forces the buttons onto the bottom. The likely reason for this is that the buttons would take up .25-.5 inch of screen real estate in landscape which would not be desirable at all.
I got it to work.
Here is what I had to do.
- Hide the nav bar using AOKP (builds 25 - 27 work)
- Change my dpi to 192 or less
-- This brought out the tablet interface (menu buttons on lower left). Notifications and time on the lower right etc
- Phone app would keep on crashing and I was unable to make or receive calls
-- Fixed this by downloading AOKP build 27 phone.apk for the HTC Incredible and replaced the phone.apk on my nexus. The reason why the phone app would crash was because of the dpi, so I had to find a lower dpi phone.apk.
Was then able to use all the basic functions of my phone including the market. However, the entire thing seemed a unstable (would have rom manager or systemUI crash randomly).
I'm giving it up for now. Hopefully some dev will see the value in getting this working and create a complete ICS rom for it.

Yes, I confirm that adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to build.prop works as well.
I figured out that 180 dpi is the lowest you can go and not have the phone app crash. The launcher lags when running landscape though.

You can replace the phone.apk with one from another device send have it working. I don't remember which device, but I read it in the tablet rom thread in the CDMA galaxy development forums at rootzwiki.

NEWS
Looking for a flashable ROM that does more than dropping you into tablet mode?
With little manual hacks and fixes we came only so far ... true hybrid mode with actual fixes and ICS-framework rewrites is being developed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582
UNLOCK HYBRID MODE IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS MANUALLY
Note: If you followed all the steps and you get something else than what is shown in the snapshots above, please search the thread, many things have been answered a dozen times already. Also make sure you do a full backup before you attempt to change anything!
1. Change your DPI
Edit this line in your /system/build.prop: ro.sf.lcd_density=192
192 is for Galaxy Nexus only! You can calculate the magic value for your phone, the formula has been explained here.
2. Hide the Navigation-Bar and reboot
Add this line to your /system/build.prop: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 and reboot
We have collected no experiences with hardware-button devices yet, if you're on such a device check out Xylograph's efforts
3. Drop a couple of apk's
They all belong to their respective owners
3.1-3.2: Use ADB or Root Explorer, do not install, just drop it into /system/app
If you encounter problems, go to CWM and wipe cache/partition & advanced/dalvik cache. Also wipe cache & data in Androids app manager (Settings/Apps/All/...) and push the apk's again
3.1 Nova Launcher: 1.1beta (still has some small blemishes) or our Hack (for now its closer to stock): Rapidshare, Mediafire
ICS launchers do have some issues with tablet mode, all except Nova
If Nova was already installed pre-installed, delete it before you push. In that case you might want to backup your Homescreens in Novas settings
I suggest you use a sane grid like 5x4, small margins for both width and height and persistant search bar on always
3.2 Hacked Play Market: Rapidshare, Mediafire
The old market gives you compatibility issues
Just backup the old one before you drop the hack (rename it to appname.apk.bak, appname can be either Vending or Phonesky, depends on your gapps package)
3.3 Keyboard: Play Marked
Androids standard keyboard has a weird sizing issue, it looks quite awful in tablet mode
1. download & install
2. rename /system/app/LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk.bak
3. Keyboard Settings/Advanced/Vibration Setting/10ms
More working keyboards:
Swype Beta
Swiftkey 3 Beta
Thumb Keyboard (paid App!)
HINTS
Go to Settings, Display, Font size, set it to Huge
AOKP: Uncheck the IME Switcher in UI Settings
CM9: Check "Auto Hide" in System/Statusbar to finally get real Fullscreen
Correct Wallpaper size + Template
You're on AOKP, troubled by button-spacing issues? Xylograph has found your fix
You're on AOKP, troubled by a crashing phone? Try this one: Rapidshare, Mediafire
CHANGELOG[/SIZE]
2.0: flashable ROM thanks to Zer0_Cool!
1.9: new keyboards up + IME switcher hint, thanks go to bill12690!
1.8: new google play fix, seems to find apps that it didn't find before, imdb for explample
1.7: nova spacing issues, better overscroll layout
1.6: nova optimized for "Huge" font settings / new experimental Google Play hack
1.5: fixed folder grid size / fixed app drawer layout / fixed dock divider height
1.4: nova 1.0.3beta instead of apex / app folders work! / grids/stacks work / no fixed grid, configure as you wish!
1.3: new phone.apk which works under aokp 4.0.4, thx to faunh for finding it!
1.2: market fix from lcd desity modder, thank you raubkatze for extracting it! ::]
1.1: apex v1.0.2beta / landscape works, dock excluded / optimized for settings/display/font-size: large
1.0: dock / normal sized icons / set apex into hybrid mode / phone.apk from aokp/droid incredible
This MOD looks awesome!
Thanks buddy!
I was looking for this since I ve got a taste of it on my Note
Good job
Cool! How is it in landscape? Data drops? More info on stability would be very helpful! Thanks!

no landscape in the launcher for now, just deactivate it. landscape for everything else is fine. i guess i'll fix it when i find the time. the dock has to be glued to the right side then, it should, in theory, not be so hard.
i did not experience data-drops until now. i can be reached just fine. i have to get back to my original country first and see if its an issue, sure hope not though. are you dead-sure it's not a radio/kernel/rom issue? by no means im an expert but in my naive mind i couldnt think of a reason why changing the dpi would make your signal drop.

No problems here with that. Did you push the phone.apk in the OP?
molesarecoming, no need to disable your navbar. Tablet mode does this automatically. I don't even have the option with Milestone 4 of ASOP and everything is just fine. And if people want even more room, all they gotta do is disable "show persistent search bar" in apex.
Also, imo no need to set your phone to always portrait. The app draw or home screen doesn't look perfect in landscape mode, but it's not all that bad. I have mine set to default which makes it only rotate in apps, never on home screen or app draw. (Not sure if that's what you meant) That's how I usually have things set anyway so it's perfect for me.
Been running this all day and I'm loving it!
Thanks again.

Technically it works, but not well. If you plan on using this, trust me use his modded apex. Most everything else looks like crap. The exception being ADW EX, that looks good as well.
not compatible apps
So I wanted to try this out cause it sounded awesome... now I have it installed and I am loving the look... but when I try to download my apps again most now are saying not compatible with my device... and suggestions?
Also is there a way to get a stock looking keyboard on this cause mine is like half the screen....
Thanks
Looks good OP. Nice job. You should use a newer Apex Launcher. v0.8 is 2 versions behind the latest 'stable' Apex version. I'd like landscape as well .

You need to use a hacked version of market/play store. I'm pretty sure there's a thread around here on xda with the necessary hacks for free or you can buy lcd density modder pro on play store which gives you access to a hacked version (both 'markets' accomplish the same thing from what I've read).
I'm excited for this one. Once this is easier to implement, i'll switch to this right away, best mod i've seen so far congratz!
Great mod also I just used spb shell 3d works great in tablet mode using this it uses the screen space well

every launcher "works," well, except trebuchet. but nova wastes space, shrinks your icons and hides the dock. if you can live with that, yes then it works.

go back to 320, force close market, delete cache and data, start it and press OK. go back to 192. it works, well, better but you still get that stupid message every now and then. but really it's their fault. it's easy to mod though, and there's been solutions for this.
install swype. it's the better keyboard anyway.

yeah i was wondering, in m4 the option was ... missing? weird. it's in my poweroptions now anyway. the problem was, system.UI crashed if i didn't disable the navigation-bar before reboot. it always did, so can it perhaps be they fixed it in m4?
in the hack at least landscape kills it, the dock gets punched out by the divider.

i guess it can be modified, why not. trick it into believing the dpi of your device is 192. if you want you can have my apktool project (it took me days to figure out how to compile/decompile ics apk's without getting a crapload of error messages). with apktool you should be able to do this quickly. but as i wrote in the first post, if someone would invent a root-app that could individually set dpi for apps, it would do so much for us.
Hi all,
Have been having a play about with my DPI settings, I understand now that there by doing this it can have an adverse effect on the battery life of the phone, after having a tinker with different settings I've come to the conclusion that certain settings simply don't scale right.
The ones that I've found are OK but are just a bit out. 440 is what it is now, but I find the icons and widgets, even the text is too large..
I did have it set to 400, which I preferred but a portion of the password / pin was missing, if you go any lower than that you risk cutting off the bottom of the screen on the lock screen at least.
Please could anyone who's changed their DPI post their results here and any anomalies that might occur if else follows suit.
To alter the DPI I've been using textdroider_dpi from the play store.

ya at 400 dpi i got locked out could not use lock screen (just had the digits couldnt see the OK). also on Titanium backup some part of menus not shown on 400dpi (xml or snapshot button only part menu shown i think) . so had to restore from a backup (lucky i had a backup). now using 420dpi. seems ok so far...

400 with the pin works, i've not tried with the pattern myself. 440 obviously works fine.
I gone thru the same issue. I think 400 cut me out of the numpad "OK", and i actually had to restore the sys image. (Didnt know about the recovery method).
Does anyone know of something that can set a per-app DPI? Can i control the DPI of the lockscreen, dialer etc separately?

After rooting the ATT 810 G4, I figured I'd go ahead and change the DPI settings through the build.prop. This has been a great improvement of the UI experience, however it looks like the QuickCircle app becomes unusable. Just wondering if anyone else has changed the DPI setting and knows how to keep the normal DPI setting for the QuickCircle app. It seems like per app DPI would be the way to go, but I'm not quite sure how to achieve that right now on the G4. Many thanks in advance!

I've found that if you use a digital clock for it just the white circle is off Center (accuweather one works fine)
The weirdest thing about this is that the call handling part of the quick circle (I.e. if you are on a call, the phone is ringing etc.) fits absolutely fine.
The circle highlight swish (technical term) doesn't line up either, but the call stuff does. Very odd
Has anyone figured out how to get the circle highlight light working the correct way?
I got the clock aligned correctly but i didnt find the app responsible for the light circle.
/edit
Got it
These are the apps which i changed to stock DPI via App Settings:
com.lge.lockscreensettings
com.lge.provider.lockscreensettings
com.lge.sui.widget
com.lge.smartcover
com.lge.clock
1. Settings.
2. System
3. About
4. Tap Build Number 10 times, until you are a developer.
5. System - Developer options
6. Drawing - Smallest Width #.
There are several guides on which DPI settings to use if you search, but I prefer around 600-640 to take advantage of the big screen. I hope this guide is helpful for some of you who weren't aware of this option. :highfive:

I noticed today that I hadn't set the sizes in Display Settings first, to a smaller font, and then in developer options the DPI. The smaller font made a big difference, but is easy to overlook. I'm at 600 now, and everything works and looks fine. :cyclops:

I like 600 too as it sets it to tablet mode and since we are in tablet territory on screen size why not.

My dpi change keeps resetting back to default... How do I stop this from happening?
It will reset every time you reboot the device. Also when you change the display settings it may revert back to normal.

Because even with Display Size at it's smallest setting it's still pretty big.

Definitely not! I keep the font at large, but set the screen width at 540, which is good for me.

This is where Huawei neuteres Android. Change the smallest width setting and it is reset every time you restart the phone. The Android System and some of the SystemUI elements don't even change when setting a higher number. Once you're rooted you're better off editing the build.prop in vendor and adding the qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx line in to get everything to change like it's supposed to. Be careful not to go too low on the density or else EMUI glitches out to the point where your lockscreen will no longer function. It's one of the things about EMUI that really irks me and instead of Huawei fixing the issue they just seem to ignore it. That and not being able to move the wifi and data icons to the right where they should be.
We need root soon. Changing the width in developers options messes with some apps. Also, the navigation bar at the bottom doesn't change which blocks the exit button in my trading app. Quite annoying.
