4.3 Roms and Tablet UI - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For those of you that have played with some of the new 4.3 ROMs have you seen any with tablet UI functionality?

Have any 4.3 roms even been released? I thought they were still working on everything
Waiting on PA personally

No, but one of them has expanded desktop, if you're interested, which works great with gmd gesture control. It's ratcav's rom.

How do you activate expanded desktop? I am running ratcav's rom but couldn't figure it out. Thanks.

That's exactly where I am. What's the point of a tablet without Tablet UI?

LOL..........+1

PA is out so I'm going to give that a try. Might wait a few builds as the first one has usually has a few bugs to work out. Running pure stock right now just so I can say I tried it.

Wondering if anyone has found a ROM yet with tabletUI?

[Q] Can someone do a vídeo with Nexus 7 with tablet UI mode?

Can anyone do that? Like a little review.
I would like to see the notifications and the lancher.
I was hoping for the same thing a few hours ago but couldn't find anything. Basically just wanna see how the notification expansions work and how fluid the os is in tablet mode. Probably comparable performance but I just wanted to make sure xD
I would also love to see this
so no one is able to do this? I came searching again and was disappointed
I would love a video of that too. Please can someone make one?

But neither of them have video reviews of it running stock tablet UI with the DPI change mod. They both have it running the 213 dpi, hybrid UI instead.
Aww seriously guys it can't be this hard to get something like this done. :s I'd gladly do it but I don't have the device.

I think you are going to confuse people.
The Nexus 7 does run in Tablet UI mode - only the home screen is hybrid.
What you want is a video of the tablet running with the DPI mod.

If you want to get technical then yes it is running in tablet mode, with a Hybrid Launcher BUT I still believe it's hybrid UI since even while in apps, you still get the hybrid/phone-like softkeys and notification bar.
Yes I would like a video of a nexus 7 running the DPI mod and showing a brief overview of menus, opening apps and notifications.
Sorry for any misunderstandings
bump.. again.. guess I'll have to wait til I get it myself

[Q]Does Rasbeanjelly have brightness slider?

Does Rasbeanjelly have brightness slider? I really like this feature and use it more often than i thought i would, now i can't live without it. can anyone out there using rasbeanjelly share a screenshot or just in words what kind of notification customisation options are available? thanks
No slider I'm aware of, just an option to toggle different levels of brightness in the notification bar.

I've been hearing alot about rasbean lately.
Could it be used as a daily driver?

I mean the AOKP style slider, but this should work. Is there a theme out there which has a percentage to indicate the brightness? I use to have one of these but then I lost it.

No. It has the cm brightness slider. And I don't think there are any mods that add a percentage to it.

I've been using it for just over a month trying both Franco's kernel and the trinity kernel with very little time on the stock kernel. I've had three crashes in the last three weeks. Two of which may have been my fault for not fixing permissions after flashing a new kernel.
Edit: fixing Sig in text issue.

And as YOU can see it has ROM control which is part of AOKP not CM and rascarlo only uses CM code which means no part of AOKP is available.

it has nothing to do with ROM control. this theme is built with the t-mobile theme engine, so in theory it works on any rom with that feature: pa, cm10 and most other roms. all i am doing is a proof of concept, it is achievable, even though most themes dont have them.

Softkey Button App?

I saw a screenshot somewhere of a soft key replacement app. The soft keys were red and appeared on the middle left side of the screen. There was home, back, and recents i think and they kind of went in a circle. I tried to draw what i remember it to look like. It also looked like it had a holoish theme to it. Anyway sorry for being so vague but i don't remember anything about it. If you know what its called I'd love to know! Thanks for your help!

Is there no app that can do that? Is it only in Paranoid Android?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
ParanoidAndroid has a feature called Pie that looks like that. If you're not using PA, then you can use an app called LMT which is a similar replacement to PA Pie.

I never said it wasn't. All I said was that ParanoidAndroid had a feature that he described in the OP and if he wasn't on PA, he could use LMT (on a different ROM) which is a similar thing to PA Pie.
It's better to use paranoid rom to get it becuase on paranoid its built into the rom. If you get a app like that i believe it consumes alot of ram and everytime you kill tasks you have to run the app again.( please correct me if i'm wrong)

Anyway to make the scrolling smooth?

I've had my Nexus 10 for 6 months and I love the crispy display and fast over all system, the only thing that intrigues me is the scrolling. I believe all sorts of browsing there's a delay when swiping from a page to another. Especially on the app drawer and Facebook app. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Hello there!
If you look in to loading a custom kernel such as Ktmanta (which I recommend and use personally) I believe you will find the smooth scrolling you are looking for.

Cleanrom for a rock solid experience and fluid system. If you want features you can try aokp by mr robinson, or team eos for a basic rooted rom but still kept pretty slim and smooth.

Full 4.4 KitKat experience

Hi there,
I recently purchased my nexus 7. I used to have an XDA account from years ago.
Basically, tonight I installed the AOSP ROM released for the nexus 7 on rootzwiki forums and I found that it had the normal launcher so it seemed like a jelly bean ROM with a white theme to it. Since then I discovered I was able to download and install Google Home and that enabled me to use the new UI with the transparent status bar and nav bar. So far I like it a lot. Its quite stable with a few bugs and it will get better.
And a video on YouTube of the ROM

I would add screenshots but the xda app doesn't let me

I believe it's the launcher. As you can see, the Search Bar is out of place too, I have the Google Experience launcher on my n4, and it doesn't look like that. I believe this launcher wasn't N7.2 ready.
