Stable (Verizon) Tablet mode?

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).

Thanks. I thought I mentioned earlier that I am on AOKP 25 (actually I just upgraded to 27 to see if it helped).

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 took the framework-res.apk from there and here is a link to it.

I was doing the wrong option...

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.

[Q] Changing LCD Density

Hey Guys
I am just wondering how to make stock applications working with Density set to STOCK 240.
I love the 240 density but Dialer/Dock Screen/Email/Stock Apps doesn't fits properly on screen.
Anyone know how can we fix it ? or we have to wait for a ROM who supports Multi DPI ?
Thanks In Advance.

For contacts you can use Go Contacts or RocketDial. I prefer RocketDial because it much powerfull and have many many option to configurate it. Both of them works excelent at all DPI, even at tablet DPI. S Note looks ok. Other apps from Samsung\Google I'm not using and deleted them. For email I prefer AquaMail, it's working on low DPI and have many options too, like on PC email clients.

Does anyone tried to bring N2 into 213dpi? Just curious if they just passed into Jelly Bean something like NEXUS 7 "half-tablet" UI. Can someone report what stops working on 213? I know apps might look bad, but as soon their will working there will be matter of time when somebody will just mod them. But what will FC?
I am still on N1 i know what does not work on 213 N1 ICS - but N2 will be here in about 2 weeks so already curious.

then I try camera fx, very buggy with it. later camera didn't work. "echec appareil photo". I tried everything( factory reset,wipe all, format all) still failled to launch camera with stock and all other app.
Since I changed the note 2 in my store with an other.
I break the camera on the device but what is the reason????

Still want to change the dpi (so better) but I don't want to break the camera again and I am not really sure what is the probem...

Maybe you can try to download an other Camera app.

already did. the camera is defenitly broken on the first galaxy note 2. And other camera app are bad compared to the stock.
does it possible to modded the stock camera app for other density? If yes, what need to change in the apk?

I love 240 dpi as well...but most stock apps looks so stuffed up.....now I have revert back to 320....can't believe I have to be stuck with such a high dpi setting

Fired From My FireDevice.

Arf. This would be on the top lisf of the dev.
Don't know if it's possible but an app "dpi per app" would be awesome.
Paid for this app 10 euro... no 20... maybe more. Ahah
Like in the paranoidandroid but on touchwiz. Maybe possible...
I hope.... too bad this 320 dpi. look like a screen for blind man.

what app did you use to change the density?
was just wondering what app you guys used to change the density. tried editing the build.prop to 240 and i got stuck on a bootloop. wanna see if i can manage the complaints about the built-in apps not adjusting and the camera crashing.

Any info on it ? As Samsung is still thinking about the full documentation release , It seems PA will take ages to out...

I can confirm that neither 213 or 160 gives you full "half-tablet" mode for all apps. Camera looks messed up.
On 160 SystemUI crashes and the lockscreen look changed (time and date to the left instead of centered). SMS does not have "half-tablet" mode but the settings menu does. Google Chrome has got tabs. Didn't check calendar but I assume it's "half-tableteted".
On 213 SystemUI does not crash. Lockscreen looks like default one (centered). SMS does not have "half-tablet" mode, niether does the settings menu or Chrome. Didn't check calendar but I assume it's not "half-tableteted".
Conclusion, only way to get to "half-tablet" mode right now is to go 160 DPI and then everything's really small and SystemUI crashes :/

S8+ Touchwiz/Icons for Tab S3

hi,
I downloaded couple of APKs from Sammobile, especially from the S8 and install on my tab s3, it worked perfectly. No more Apps button, just swipe up, icons from the S8 ( some of it) but the main draw back, though its not significant to me, the icon becomes smaller if you change to 5x6. But, so much smooth now.

The version I downloaded from Sammobile would not rotate into landscape, which made my keyboard case useless. I had to to a full reset to get back to stock. Has anyone found a version that will work in landscape?

Any way to get this with landscape option?
I would also like to use this, as I HATE the massive icons on the stock launcher, but I almost never use my tab in portrait orientation.
Has anyone found a way to allow this launcher, but also allow landscape?
(Sorry, I know I'm late to this conversation, but I just got my S3)

Hi all...
very kindly, could someone give me the stock version of touchwiz for the s3 galaxy tab?

If you download a stock ROM from Samsung, you can just open it up using a zip program and get the apps out that way. IMHO that's the safest way to get stock files.

Help with Custom Font , Status Bar icon resize in Android 10 ONEUI 2.0

Hi,
First, if this is not the right forum to post this, excuse me.
Now the question, I just received my new S20 + and so far I love everything about the phone, you know it comes from an S7 until it gives up. The problem I have is that, on my previous phone (S7), I was able to changed the font size of my clok, Wi-Fi, LTG antenna symbol and the battery charge percentage indicator, in my new s20 + I can't find where to do this is no option, I spend a whole day, searching on Google looking for a answer that can help resize my icon's in the top bar to make them larger, the actual size is so small that I have to put glasses to see it. Do you guys have any solution to this or help?
Thanks in advance.

I have called "Samsung care", and they told me that, they do not have any solution as right now. They did recognized and mentioned to me that, the preview version had the option to resize font, but for some reason, it was removed from the new version..... go and figure that one out smh..

yeah.. samsung tends to remove features they "think" people do not use.
For me, i still miss the good old samsung camera on the S7 and my note 8 before the oreo update.. where u can zoom in or zoom out by pressing and holding the shutter button (the white circle), and drag it upwards (to zoom in) and drag in downwards to zoom out.
i have no idea why they removed it.. i loved it as i can zoom in or out using only one hand.. new camera app i need to use one hand to hold, another hand to pinch the screen to zoom in..
not to mention some old samsung apps that is very useful, like the snapbizcard.. snap a business card and everything is saved into your contacts, automatically. it was super useful. i tried to transfer the apk from my samsung note 8 to the s20, but the app crashed everytime i want to take a photo of a namecard.

What do you mean "android 10" ? all galaxy s20 are android 10 ! it is the same as screen zoom , higher value give you smaller status bar . i can get 480 but it dose not make any different .

Dark autocorrect bar

I have an A70... have to say it is one of the more frustrating Samsung's that I have owned. The most recent feature is that it has darkened the autocorrect bar so it is really difficult to see what word it is about to put in place of what you are typing. Am on android 9. Any clues on how to fix this would be appreciated. I'm on default theme with dark mode. The bar use to be fine on dark mode... just recently happened.
Tried to post a link to illustrate the issue but since I'm new, wont let me.
