Is it just me, or is touchwiz on a tablet actually really nice :L
i know it slows the tab down, but the widgets icons and notification bar r really minimalist and generally not bad looking!
And the fact that stock touchwiz hc roms come with polaris office and a pen memo means that i dont really mind the occasional lag it has :L
Im also looking forward to the ics touchwiz build aswell.
Does anyone agree with me?

Wow dude. This is bold. I don't totally disagree with you (in fact, I don't have much of an opinion one way or another), but you're definitely in the minority around here... I'll apologize in advance for the nonsense flames you'll get for posting this.

Yeah that's the thing though, a while I understand touchwiz on a phone is ugly. On a tablet its actually nice. :L they (samsung) havent done that much in terms of looks with tw, which is gd.
So yeah, bring on the trolls
I don't really see it. I have been using touching HC 3.2 for as long as I have the tablet. I just recently installed touchwiz-less ICS and now never want to go back to touching. I do not miss polarised office at all since it doesn't work with swiftkey tablet x, and ihave replaced pen memo with quill, which was only 20 cents. But I guess tastes are different...

Well, there are a few things I didn't like about TW:
1. Bright settings menu. The whole tab felt that it should have a dark theme and in most places it did. But then there was the settings menu that feels out of place.
2. The statusbar is annoying. I don't know how often I accidentally made a Screenshot when I didn't want to. Or brought up the pop up bar which contains alps I never use.

Having a Screenshot function available is nice, but I agree. But I prefer the way the ICS Rom I am using implements it: hidden in the power menu. I mean, why would you need it readily available at all times?

Honeycomb is a very good concept but a "beta version" software: slow, laggy, unstable and incomplete in several ways... I got my G.Tab 10.1 in January and 2 weeks later I flashed (and kept updated ever since) ICS KANG and loving it.
That said, I do like the added Samsung apps and functionality (on both my Note and my G.Tab 10.1) so as soon as it comes out I will flash Samsung's ICS update.
The Note is already great as it is on the latest LB1 Gingerbread ROM so I don't mind waiting a little more for ICS BUT I really can't wait to get Samsung's ICS ROM for the Tab 10.1 and pretty pissed off that they can't seem to be able to give a less vague date.
I hope they make it up to me by adding the split screen funcionality shown off on the Note 10.1 and a revamped note app which syncs across my Note's S Memo app and Outlook notes..
I think touchwiz on 3.X is amazing, really improves the experience. I cringe whenever I see the stock notification bar (I have to open it, hit settings and then hit settings again to actually open the settings compared to open it and hit settings once in touchwiz).
If touchwiz is that amazing, what's HTC sense? Sense is great on both phones and tabs. Look at the HTC jetstream, HTC did a much better job then Samsung.
I don't mind Touchwiz. I like some of the little extras, etc. Stock Honeycomb is still fugly so TW helps a tad, but since it's so light, not much. ICS is a huge improvement on phones, but not so much in tablets. It's bascially what Honeycomb should have been in the first place.
I'd rather have HTC Sense, but since HTC never had any good wifi tablets last year, it just wasn't in the cards. I will say, the GT 10.1 has been a good tablet and does everything I need it to do, but I won't be buying anymore Samsung products like.... um.... Ever. My next tab will be W8 and probably from Asus or something.
I have never liked HTC Sense at all, Touchwiz is a great compromise between adding functionality and staying as close as possible at the "Android experience" (which keeps on getting better and better). Ideally I would like to have a consistent experience across all Android devices with, at best, "touches" added by the different makers and design and hardware to differentiate among them. Sense goes totally against this.
I've just upgraded to Android 4.2 and noticed the lack of tablet ui when I changed the DPI.
Is there any watt till get it back or has it been fully removed? I loved the old UI.

Yeah, WTF happened? Just did the same. 160 dpi with the 213 dpi gui? No thanks.
the update has unified the tablet UI... look at the nexus 10 and you will see you are now running the "tablet' UI. there is no split in UI like there was before (ie. no tablet and phablet difference)
Of course there are changes in 160dpi. It's not the same as 213, Youtube is still totally different, market, gmail. Just navigation and notification bar are splited. But Yeah, old ui was much better. There is too much wasted space in new UI
Hopefully some custom ROMs will add this in. Its a shame, I used to be able to operate with almost one hand and now I need the other to use the notifications. Some things were added tipi the top right quick settings but I really want it on the bottom.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
That's exactly what I suspected, no tablet UI included. I am definitely won't update to this. Let's hope the community will fix that.
They're doing away with the old tablet UI to unify the devices.
-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-
Yeah, and that is dumb as hell in my opinion!
i dont think it is necessarily dumb. i believe it is important to not have a split experience when it comes to your OS. If you want something different that is what custom ROMs are for. But for what google is putting out they want everyone to have a similar experience no matter what device they are on. that way going from your phone to a tablet is more natural
Using Tablet UI, I experienced accidentally pressing the Nav buttons and expanding the status bar while playing games. I think keeping the buttons away from where the fingers will accidentally press them is not dumb at all. I hope they find a better way to implement Tablet UI.
When I saw that the Nexus 10 had the new UI, I feared that this would happen.
Just flashed 4.2 and it was such a pity to discover that there's no tablet ui (( I liked it so much

Now we can have multiple user accounts on our Nexus 7... I'm wondering if it's possible to have one user running at 213 dpi and another at 160 dpi, so have different resolutions per user?
I read it's a change to the system build properties file in a thread about tablet UI, so I imagine it wouldn't be that hard for some savvy person to write a script to swap that at user logon, like in a .profile or similar, if android has those. I guess it must run as root, which is surely achievable on a rooted device... :fingers-crossed:
Key Lime Pie
Hopefully Google will figure something out for Key Lime Pie, unified UI is good for noobies but power users like us want something more and that's why we went with android.
I've been reading through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350&page=39 and I found out that the .62 version of stock Gingerbread cannot be rooted so easily as .42.
I'm using AOKP Jelly Bean now and I'm tired of its lagginess and unstableness. So I'm switching back to GB.
My thoughts are, what if I flashtool GB .62 and install a pre-rooted kernel, will it work? Which kernel?
My main objective: have the latest stock GB rooted.
Thanks!

Gingerbread is much faster and camera is awesome, but geez, If I had never used ICS or JB it would be ok, but it's just when we use a previous version that we realize how much things have improved since GB. I can't use it. I'll probably try Jelly Sandwich tomorrow.

What exactly is this BIG crucial thing you are missing from ICS? I also used ICS for almost 2 months, and get back to GB with no problems at all. I just realised how MUCH more this phone is productive and usable with GB.
And I can name you few big things ICS lacks compared to GB.
Gaming performance is ridiculous, as well as overal smoothness, compared to GB. HD recording is better in GB, and wi-fi is better. Battery life is better. Every single app is faster. Browsing web is better.
When you see this things, it turns that every thing crucial for an smartphone is better, so someone is willing to abandon all this, just for the sake of having "new" fancy software, even it's crippled quite a lot, compared to "old" one.

In fact, I miss small improvements, such as status bar. I'll try to numerate somethings I miss:
1) In JB I could read my new email right from Status Bar, without the need to open gmail;
2) I could just swipe to remove some notifications from the status bar;
3) Roboto font-family looks better in ICS+ (but I could live without);
4) Gmail has more features in ICS+, yeah I know it's google's fault;
5) I had toggles (wifi, gps, rotate, torch) right from the status bar in JB AOKP - this is what I most miss;
6) Battery percentage with circular icon in status bar;
7) Ability to access camera faster through lock screen (I installed Holo Locker, but sometimes it doesn't work).
I also tried Jelly Bean Statusbar (from play store), but it lacks all features above.
mr_torture, if you could point some ways to bring these items back to GB (I'm using GB yet) I would be very glad , especially item 5 (status bar toggles).

Each to their own, I don't find ICS to be that bad, especially when it's been tweaked a little and from what I've read on here GB is only really better for those that like to play a lot of games on their Phone.
Yeah, I know there are some small fancy things which holds you from going back, and they kept me also for almost two months.
There's no doubt that fully working ICS is much better than fully working GB, noone will argue that.
I'm just saying that ICS implementation for this phone is not among the best, mostly because of crappy performance. Everything else could be lived with, but those lags are just pain in the a.s.s.
Yes, gmail is very limited in GB, and yes, the Roboto font is looking better, and yes, ICS user interface is sleeker and coherent...
But when you balance all good vs bad things, somehow it all comes down to speed and usability. And GB is clear winner there.
Regarding this bulleted number 5, there are at least three options I can think of:
1. Notification Toggle

2. Power Toggles

I'm talking about stock GB vs stock ICS.
Yeah, it's better for those who would like to play games from time to time, who would like to have better WiFi coverage, who would like to from-wake-to-capture photos fast, who would like to record unchoppy videos, who would like to perform multitasking without phone going almost unresponsive, etc etc...
Yes, ICS is more fancy, is having small improvements, is looking better, is "new" software, etc etc... But in terms of actual performance and real life usability, it's uncomparable with GB.
I installed Notification Toggle and it's running fine! Thanks!

This will add icon on left edge of status bar. But it's not free, and your top right battery icon will remain there. If you want to replace battery icon then search for some custom status bar mods in "Theme & Apps" section.
There are some other apps in play store capable of adding circuar battery icon, but I'm in lazy mode currently.

Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
For me ics is unasble on our devices because of the horrible multitasking. I get better batterylife on ics and i think the interface looks better plus there are some nice features like swiping notifications and using the notificationbar in lockscreen. but if i start switching between my apps quickly (Whatsapp, Browser, Xda, Messages, Facebook, IMDB) every app has to load from start everytime i switch. this doesnt happen in gb and thats the main reason for me to stay on gb.
Hi there,
I have been stumbling across some awesome CM10 themes and it's something I'd like to have although they are only for CM9 and CM10. I'm currently running rooted stock nexus 4, whats the benefits of having a rom like CM10 - does CM10 run 4.2.1? which is what im currently using?
Whats are the positives and negatives to switching?
If i switch, can I convert BACK to stock?
1. Use the search feature. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35521539
2. CM10 = Android 4.1.X....... does not support Android 4.2.X and does not support N4 (mako)
3. first link. no negatives. its like reformatting your computer. If you go to Windows 8 and don't like it, go back to Windows 7.. what are the negatives? none. just reinstall apps... use titanium backup to backup/restore apps (buy pro version)
4. Yes you can revert back to stock. Nothing is permanent on android.
......... next time, do some research before just straight up asking these questions as they are already answered.

a big positive with AOKP is the ability to add in and customize the on screen nav bar buttons. i came from a gs2. so setting this phone to have the same layout as my gs2 capacitive buttons is a real winner. you can also rearrange the order of and how many toggles there are in the quick settings drop down. there is a whole list of features that you get and the devving has only just begun.

CM10.1 (Jellybro) already has Navigation Bar changes. It's better off getting used to those three buttons IMO, menu is useless for me. I prefer having it as a touch button somewhere on the app. If not then I'll use the bottom right one.
You can arrange toggles on quick settings drop down as well on CM10.1.
CM10.1 is a ongoing project and is developing really fast without dirty hacks that AOKP does. Very clean code.

Pull down notifications -> Tiles -> Settings. Guess I got accustomed to it on my Galaxy Nexus where there wasn't a tile button. It was just pull down notifications -> settings. It takes some time getting used to it, but it's pretty good imo. But that's the best part about android you can do it the way you like it, traditionally or the new way
I used to like AOKP but felt it was too bloated with unnecessary crap like AOKP Wallpapers (Swagpapers), unnecessary unicorn stuff etc. I prefer CM as its cleaner code and more optimal whereas AOKP does things in 'hackish' code and just like what the name implies, it's kanged from CM sources anyway.

edit. that is pretty cool. does that also mean the phone never sleeps? and i dunno how you managed to get that video to load at 14s. but you the man for doing it.

Ah I don't need arrows, I actually prefer them to be normal size. AOKP probably has this feature already, CM has a feature in which if you are on a entry field (typing) you can use volume keys.. up and down to move left and right of your words if you choose to (can be disabled).
the phone does sleep, it's built into a kernel module and uses very minimal battery life. I've used it since I saw it on the GN apps forum. if you use light flow, it probably uses the same amount of battery (or less). lightflow barely interferes with the phone's battery life.
oh that's easy.. just go to any youtube video and right click the video and click "Copy current url at current time" I figured I would save you some time and get to the point

Don't try using it on N4. Not supported yet. Will most likely cause problems if you try it.

1. Use the search feature. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35521539
2. CM10 = Android 4.1.X....... does not support Android 4.2.X and does not support N4 (mako)
3. first link. no negatives. its like reformatting your computer. If you go to Windows 8 and don't like it, go back to Windows 7.. what are the negatives? none. just reinstall apps... use titanium backup to backup/restore apps (buy pro version)
4. Yes you can revert back to stock. Nothing is permanent on android.
......... next time, do some research before just straight up asking these questions as they are already answered.

Asking people for their opinions is different to research. I would have to search soo many cm posts to find opinions or I could ask. This forum is q and a so please stop.

I'm trying to figure out which ROMs have it so I can try them out and see which one of them I like best. Thanks in advance

Install LMT launcher and you will even have it with the stock or any other rom (root required). Available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150.
if you want to see pie grow use pa, this is where it comes from anyway and this is where it gets better almost daily. rootbox is developing it as well in their own way, which is cool.
lmt on the other hand is almost a carbon copy, but lacks function where it matters and lacks badly. even bringing it up is silly - on the nexus plattform, where almost all rom have pie because its open source. except cm.
why'd anyone wanna make do with a hack. you know, you dont have to see android progressing, but getting the newest and seeing ideas take shape and form is so much more fun than taking substitutes. thats why we're on nexus, no?

Well put, thanks for your hard work but I was under the impression that pie on paranoid didn't have the last app button or am I mistaken?

Not all rooted users choose to install a custom rom, for those users LMT is a nice solution PA offering Pie control is a well known fact i presume.

By that I assume you mean multitasking right? Then yes, yes it does. If it's not enabled by default (which I'm pretty sure it is) then it'll almost certainly be somewhere in the settings.

Not the recents button, there's actually a button which switches between the app your on and the last app you were on. Think of like the alt+tab shortcut on windows. Where you switch between two apps back and forth. I know AOKP does it but they don't have pie. Carbon and xylon both seem to have it with pie implemented, I was wondering what other ROMs have it. I've attached a picture of xylon with the last app being the one furthest to the right

Ah my bad sorry. In that case, unfortunately I think not.
Try rootbox, the latest nightly runs great on this device and has a lot of customizing options for pie control.

Personally I use paranoid android and the only reason is that I like the extended desktop feature which hides the soft keys and whenever you need it you just swipe from the bottom and you get pie

OP, I THINK E.L.E. has the last app button.
+1 for RootBox.
