[Q] Anyone using Phone UI w/ 160 DPI - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the Phone UI with a DPI like 160 or 175? I prefer the Phone UI to the Tablet UI, but have no clue how to force Phone UI.

Not with stock. But possible with some modification. Check out the dev section.

Does it require the UI to be changed to tablet UI? or will it work with the normal DPI and stuff?
Thanks.

It works as is, although there's a few things not working, not sure if that's because of non tablet UI or app itself

Tablet UI ?

Are there any custom roms that have true tablet UI. I've tried three or 4 different ones and there all the scrappy stock UI

Paranoid Android does. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29418878
Have you also tried changing the DPI to 160 in build.prop and changing settings/system/font size to make text readable?

Have you tried Paranoid Android? It allows complete customization of UI's for different apps including system UI. It's not a tablet mode ROM but it allows you to put systemUI in Tablet UI. Read up on it in Original Development. Version 2.0 should come out soon so if you are interested, I'd just wait for it to be released.
SGT7, EOS, PA*, Stock with the mod. Any ROM at 160DPI

So I got phandroid it's awesome but is there a way to get quick dock to go away and have the app drawer icon in the upper right hand corner, or am I missing something?

What's wrong with enabling it on stock?

Using keyboard on other device

If I extract the keyboard from a ROM, can I use it on my n7? I prefer the layout of stock phone keyboard over tablet but I'm loving swipe and don't want to give it up!
P.s. yes I'm rooted so I would just push it to the right place, just making sure it would be compatible

I'm pretty sure the 4.2 keyboard was ported to 4.1 already.

That's not my problem, I'm on 4.2, but I prefer the phone's keyboard layout over the tablet's keyboard layout, and someone made a keyboard for the N7 with phone layout, but I'm wondering if this works too

(Q) Touchwiz launcher?

Is there a Touchwiz launcher for a rooted Nexus 7? One that doesn't replace the default, but an added option so it would match my SGSIII? If this is possible...

[Q] Any way to get tablet ui?

Ib seen you can get tablet ui on the nexus 7, ib look around for like mod for the navbar so its like tablet ui but no luck.
Does anyone has a way i might have missed to move the navbar to the side?
Its not comfortable where the home button is located in a big tablet like this one :\

If you're up to flashing a ROM, try paranoidandroid. They've brought back tab ui and also allow you to set the ui and DPI for each app independently.

FWIW... I'm on Thundercat from 12/27/2013 and it has a Nav Bar Left/Right/Center option. The ROM performs perfectly for me, too.
