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

Just installed Hashcodes rom and it is ultra smooth. Before that I was running MoDaCo's rom and that was great also. Although I like Jelly Bean, I find the look a little boring since I've had Android phones for years already. Since I'm not very creative I figured maybe some people would like to show off some screen shots of their setup.

Yeah, I am one of the few that find vanilla android rather boring. I am not that artistic and so things end up looking odd and mismatched. I have a htc one s, and I love sense. I liked the amazon look so even though there are bugs, I am sporting the amazon launcher.

I actually prefer the new phone-ish UI to the proper-tablet version. I don't use the default launcher though, I use Apex—but keep it portrait-only like the default launcher. I like my screens in a certain way, widgets and all, and it's just a pain in the ass to try to make them work in both modes. Anyways, these are my screens, from leftmost to right. Number 03 is the main homescreen.
Here is mine. It's the same as it was on 4.0

Like the stock rom if the app is in the amazon app store they show up in high res. The only exceptions are kindle fire only editions which don't show up as available from the appstore and I guess they aren't pulled properly from the server. FYI, I used Titanium backup to restore my apps, and even then the high res icon from kindle fire editions do not show up.
Only wish the prime videos could be played on roms other than the stock..

Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I use Tablet Mode. It's better suited for a larger display and I like it, mainly because I don't like the Phablet mode.
The drop down notification bar is nasty. Why is it not full screen?
I like the combined Navigation bar with the Status Bar. It saves space on the screen because there is one less bar.
I have a Galaxy Nexus. Using phablet mode makes me feel like I'm just using a large phone.
There is a reason I like having a TABLET and a PHONE separately. If I wanted a phablet, I'd just get Galaxy Note, where this Phablet mode would actually make sense. Leave the 7"+ tablets to the tablet mode.
IMO.

I like both modes, what I don't like is that my notification bar, I can't change any settings like WiFi, Brightness and etc.
All I get mostly is crap ads from leadbolt

You can use Widgetsoid for the settings in notification bar, and Adfree for the ads(must have root).

I don't know why people are wanting to root and mod their N7s. I did my Galaxy S 1 because Samsung had abandoned it but I can't see a need to do anything to my N7 when it's running so well and on the latest stock firmware.
There's only one minor thing that annoys me and that's the inability to control how many home screens the launcher uses. Very odd that Ginger Bread allowed this but not Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean. But that's not enough for me to go away from stock.

Apparently it's going. I will really miss it. I don't think there is any need for two thick black bars on a 7 inch device. I like having the extra space and I like the aesthetics of the tablet UI, especially with a reduced nav bar. I don't know why they are removing tablet UI and if the devs can do anything about it. I hope they can! Will you miss it too or is it just me?
Edit: Turns out it's just a rumour, phew!
Most will miss the 10" tablet UI but honestly, I don't expect that I will. The centered buttons are not that big a deal and the "Odd" way the Nexus 7's notification system lurks around, unobtrusive enough that I probably won't care.
I will be more interested in things like Miracast support and web browsing performance than I will be in the UI changes.

I thought I would hate it when I first saw it
But honestly, I like it. I was forced to use it for the first month before I rooted my n7, and I got used to it. Then I installed a tabui ROM and imo it doesn't work properly on a 7 inch screen. I know a lot will disagree but I am just sayin
I use the normal phone ui now, its just more consistent and easier to use for me. If I want more screen space, I will remove the bars with 'expand desktop' on the ROMs I use

things i hate about standard nexus 7 UI
no quick access to brightness. in tablet UI i can quickly tap the time in lower left hand corner and adjust brightness on the fly.. cant do that with nexus 7 UI
i hate how i dont get Tablet APPs and instead get the phone app for youtube gmail etc..
those are the only things that make me to to tablet ui..
if i could have quick access to Brightness AND native tablet youtube and gmail apps in the standard nexus 7 UI then id be fine.
i really do love the expanded youtube app in tablet UI 4 nice rows in portrait mode compared to phone youtube app. yuck.
Yea the tablet mode is supreme. If it doesn't "work" right then it isn't implemented right. EOS has it so stupidly simple that it is a godsend. You can enable/disable it on the fly and it doesn't screw with your other apps. Just combines the bars into 1.
The notification pulldown menu on the stock UI is horrible. Needs fullscreen or something. Looks tacked on like an afterthought.
I will be disappointed once 4.2 hits and it goes away. Remember tablet UI has to be present to unlock it. Google may remove it completely to streamline their OSs.

I just keep thinking if there was something I could. do to this phone to make it as cool as the galaxy s4 I'm just not impressed.

Its basic human nature that they get bored after using the same thing again & again for many days. After a month of usage, I was bored with my S2, then I started trying out new ROMs, I used to change ROMs once every 2 weeks.

Try out different ROMs, try different software tweaks, or different apps from Play Store atleast. Otherwise just find something/someone other than your Nexus 4/10 to remove your boredom......

You can do anything with this app
What you need is to change the way you interact with your device. Remove the nav bar and use pie (learn to use gestures) , nova launcher (and many roms out there) have the option to remove the notificatiom bar. Use dashclock with the extentions as a homescreen widget. Use halo for notifications. Use icon packs to change the way your UI feels, change the wallpaper more often. If you're on google+ take a look at the communities, people are doing some crazy stuff customizations, try to replicate those themes.
Buying the s4 won't solve your problems.
