[Q] 4.2 True Tablet UI? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to patch the true tablet UI back into 4.2? I'm LOVING the new features, enough so that I'd put up with the phablet UI, but, I still loved the old one. I know it JUST came out, but someone has to have some idea at the least. Would it be possible to import and merge the old UI somewhat? Taking the old tablet UI, and merging it(even manually) with the new phablet UI, to create something that looks and functions like the tablet UI, but is usable on 4.2. Any thoughts?

Breath and sit tight, someone will get it figured out

No way so far?

No way on stock I don't think. Custom roms have had Tablet Mode as a select-able option in settings, for a while now. I've been running SmoothRom for MONTHS using Tablet Mode.
From my understanding, Google removed the Tablet UI mode from the newer versions. The old code is still there, supposedly, but it requires custom coding to remake the connections for it to work.
Just remember:
Stock + Modifications = Custom
Sounds like you are wanting to use a custom rom anyway.

In the Apps & Themes subforum there is a thread for a flashable way to add it. Requires root obviously.

I just found a flashable zip for CM. But I'm on stock 4.2.2 with root.

A 2 second search in the subforum yields a thread with the title " [06/04/13][MOD+ROM][4.2.2][Stock Mods for odex and deodex][Reboot Menu and TabletUI]"
How much easier can it be?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2

I have searched for an hour - I found nothing. Maybe I was just to stupid
But thanks a lot for your help.

I knew what I was looking for so searched for "tabletui" so perhaps that's why it was easy to find. But honestly there's tons of useful things over in that subforum just browse through the titles and don't stop after the first page. The Nexus has been out almost a year now and some of the apps and fixes just worked so the last post may have been awhile ago simply because there's nothing new to say.

Or SmoothRom or AOKP or many of the several others that support Tablet UI out of the box. I've actually found PA's Tablet UI to be buggier.

Mine has always worked well. I don't see a difference in the two.

SlideScreen Pro based ROM anyone?

Starting this week, hopefully, I wanna begin work on a 2.3 ROM for X8 featuring the SlideScreen Pro setup, but improving on a couple things, such as:
1) App interface Clean milky-white interface all around, with classic gray and orange colors. GingerBread (etc) options integrated into SlideScreen style
2) Gmail notifications to main screen Revert Gmail notifications from StatusBar onto main screen
3) Revamping looks, feel, and functionality Improving overall menu-ergonomics, giving it a SlideScreen-MIUI feel and look
Anybody wanting and willing to collaborate is more then welcome.
I'll post some preliminary interface pics after Tuesday, March 6th, since I gotta get a separate laptop running Linux, due to daughter needing play games on the PC . Once I do some basic mods to the SlideScreen interface, I'll test it on GB. Once I get the appropriate performance, I'll post Alpha.
like it
i like slidescreen
i like ur idea
may i give u more idea..
can you make it more ICSish..
ill wait..
maybe i can become the first tester..

So...How Do You Like the 4.0.4 OTA on Your VZW Xoom?

Thread title says it all. What do you like? What do you hate?
For me, I'm generally very happy with it. I love the speed and responsiveness as compared to Honeycomb. I love the ICS user interface as well. It isn't all that different from Honeycomb, granted, but it's the little things. I love the page transition effect on the app drawer, the Roboto font is much more readable, and I love being able to swipe away notifications. Honestly, the notification swipe is one of the only things I truly missed about running CyanogenMod in years past. Did I mention I love being able to run Chrome finally?!
As for things I don't like...mainly aesthetics. I'm annoyed that it didn't come with the default ICS "Phase Beam" live wallpaper, but it's alright. I just ganked it from a deodexed stock Galaxy Nexus ROM and it installed fine on the Xoom. Ditto for the "Adara" notification sound.
How about you?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
Meh so far. To me battery is worse, 3g signal seems worse, pulse lags just as much.
Need to root and go to an OC'd ics rom.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Pulse lag is most likely the app. At first, I actually thought battery life was better but now that a week has gone by, it actually seems the same for me as it was on Honeycomb...and for me, the new radio seems better, though admittedly I live in a 4G market so I'm not sure how the 3G reception is vs. Honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
Radio is definitely better for me. Batt life seems marginally better, too, though I'm back on EOS nightly since they have the new radios... def improved batt, with all the addtl features and smoothness EOS brings.
I wish it didn't try to launch an app every time I put it in a dock. There are dock controls in Settings on my Galaxy Nexus but not this?

Otherwise, runs good, better 4g connection, and I am a little more than pissed Verizon didnt include SMS/MMS with the ICS upgrade.

I just installed this app called Docktor, which cancels the launching of an app every time your dock your Xoom, since it bugged me too!
Instead it just gives you a little pop-up so that your default is overridden.
Hope this helps; it certainly got rid of my annoyances
I eventually came back to stock because I wanted to be able to watch google play movies. Plus the app I Ned to use no longer required root to work. I am enjoying the ota quite a bit and have noticed my battery life extended quite a bit from EOS 2.0

You have to be running Android 3.2.6 HLK75H in order to update to 4.0.4. It's odd that you didn't get an update to 3.2.4 or 3.2.6...Is your boot loader unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

I was on CM9 but completely restored my Xoom to stock because non of the 4.0 custom roms would work with my Xoom. Its like no matter what rom I was on something hardware related would always malfunction. As of now it is locked and back to stock but aprently stuck at 3.2.2.

Just to make sure, you ARE using a Verizon 4G LTE Xoom and not a Verizon 3G CDMA or non-Verizon model right?

[Q] What ROM are you running

Since the DX is pretty old now are there any dev's still making new ROMS for this device? Also what are you currently running ROM/Kernel wise?
Developers are very active with the Droid X.

Once the source code is released, developers will probably start work on porting it.
My guess is it shouldn't be incredibly difficult for them, since it's just an incremental update.

Help needed: Looking for a rom

Hey All,
I'm looking for a rom and having trouble figuring out which one will best suit my needs. Typically, I would just download a bunch of roms and try them out, but I'm stuck in China with a low data ceiling on a very slow connection for the foreseeable future. I really need to be like 80% sure before I download.
I've been running CleanRom since the summer, and that has been a great experience, but CleanRom is no longer being developed, so I'm no longer up to date.
I want something with integrated tablet mode, and I would like something with a volume slider in the notification tray. Wifi toggle switch would also be ideal (I prefer not to use apps for these features). Aside from those features, I just need the most stable rom possible. Additional customization isn't necessary. In fact, pure stock outside of the features I listed would be great. And I'm obviously not looking for nightly builds. I want something to throw on here and leave on until the next Android update.
Does anyone know a rom that meets this criteria? If you have suggestions, I would love to hear them, and then I'll go read some threads.
I really appreciate the help.

Check CM10 with Tablet UI, it should fit the needs you are looking for.
I have been using it since last 4 days and its been stable.No issues yet.

I've been running this rom since 1.1.2 and have been very pleased with it. My current setup is Glazed JB 2.0 with the included Franco kernel, and Nova Launcher Prime for a launcher. I'm also using Pimp My Rom 2.0 for additional tweaks, but from the sounds of it you may not even want that.

You want a solid rom? Team EOS is going to be your best bet. Very minimal isnt loaded with a bunch of crap you wont use. Has its own toggles however are kind of an eyesore IMO. You could just use an app to do the same thing i recommend "Extended Controls" Its a dollar.. but well worth it. LOL reread your OP oops.. :S
Also if you have the pull down.. and swipe in the middle to either the right or the left.. it will swap the Date and clock to a volume slider on the left and a brightness slider on the right .
The only problem I've had with this rom is the oft mentioned error about invalid glazed 2.0 init.. and it's more of a minor nuisance than anything. Functionality does not seem to have a problem, and I'm sure the message has something to do with Glazed being based on a CM nightly.. a bad integer table entry perhaps. Either way, my overall experience has been great with this setup.. buttery fast, and buttery smooth.

Google needs to put it in aosp as soon as possible. I wish they didn't kill off cornerstone as that was originally going to be part of cm but google told them to cease and desist.
Google would have to develop that from scratch, because that's Samsung-proprietary code.
Also, I hope that Google does NOT clutter up Android with stuff like this, for this we have ROMs like PA (which is already stuffed full of features that it barely works as a daily driver).

Paranoid android was great when it was based on cm. Its in 4.2 when they tried to go aosp and make their own tweaks that it became a mess. They need to go back to cm or switch to AOKP(uses CMs main code).
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement multi window. The cornerstone code would be a good starting point and android apps already scale to different resolutions without an issue.
