So the nexus 7 clearly has a default dock on the home screen, but I cannot figure out how to create or edit it in JB. I'm using CM10, of course, so maybe that's the reason? Anyone know how to create shortcuts on it? Without using a custom launcher.

the reason that is because nexus 7 is a 7 inch portrait tablet, its LCD density is set so it is actually running the phone version of jb, henceforth the dock, you can try to mess around with you LCD density but just be careful

Hey man, have you had it where you go to install an App and the 'pop' up dialog disappears until you touch it? Pretty much any dialog of the type disappears on AOKP in tablet mode. (atleast the version I'm using)
This is 213 dpi in 4.3 stunner. There's no dialog problem what so ever. Yes I can make and receive calls without any problem. This is the most stable ics I've ever used on note just follow the download instructions carefully

download instructions?Where?
Sweetness indeed...
Can you put 5 columns of apps like in GB, it seems that your video shows only 4. Although plenty of rows.
Also, and although I think it's mandatory as per the ICS specs, can you avoid the 3 hoe, back and search buttons in the screen and instead use the physical ones, even in landscape mode?
Thanks.
Is the S-pen compatible with this ROM?
You mind posting the settings used? I changed the dpi to 213 but I can only use the middle of the screen. Not sure what else needs tweaking to be able to use the full screen...
Great little video
I used the tablet mode for a couple of days and it's a nice change! However, now i'm using the phone mode on ICS Stunner 4.3 and it's equally as awesome
What you guys talking about,...which rom ,what ,,damn did I miss something?

No I don't think we can put 5 columns in apex launcher. That came with the rom. I ain't sure about other launchers.
And I don't think you can remove those three keys from the navigation bar..

I disabled automatic grid size in apex launcher settings>home screen settings. And set the potrait grid size to 9*8. I like having many icons on the desktop so this grid size helps me. You can try 6*6 or anything else you find good for you

Is that just the button features you're referring to (ie. screenshot, quick menu etc)?

Problem getting into tablet mode
I apologise for asking this question, but I haven't found an answer within the forum anywhere and I am unable to post it in the developer section due to me being a new user. I've been using the ICS Stunner 5.0 beta ROM for the past two days now and I am unable to get it to boot into tablet mode. I have followed all of the steps in Euphoria Control to get it into tablet mode, including a custom DPI of 213. I performed a clean install with the ROM and my phone has full root access.
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

Post #145.may be can help you.
I was just wondering is there a way to change the number of Home screens on stock Jelly Bean? I really don't need five of them.
I don't really want install another launcher because each launcher (Apex, Nova) seems to F'up in some way or another -_-
Thanks.
No. you can't change the number of home screens in the stock launcher.

Hi!
Yesterday i bought an Nexus 7 an it's really nice but i wanted more screen area so I changed the dpi into 160 so I got tablet UI. But then the menu button had moved into the right upper corner and I want it down in the middle, and before I got an "dock" how to get it back.
I don't want to use roms because I want OTA without trouble.
Change your DPI back to 213.

Yeah, but then I don't got Tablet UI
Maybe try a different launcher and let us know how you go. the custom roms aren't that hard to deal with, updates worked a treat for me on both paranoid android (PA) and now rasbeanjelly. PA had lots of different view settings you should be able to find a cure that works for you.

You won't have tablet UI in 4.2 anyway so if it's really that important have a custom ROM. Else just deal with the way the stock UI is, changing the DPI makes apps too small anyway IMO.
Hey all,
Now, I have done the searching, and found the thread about getting tablet UI on my Nexus 7, It looks nice and I'll probably end up using it... However, I like the way the UI is laid out on the Nexus 10...
Now, I know that the 7 will switch to landscape mode and look similar, however, I want the App Drawer and associated buttons to be across the bottom and the google search bar to be across the top like the 10, as opposed to the sides on the 7.
Now, I understand that the N10's screen is a higher resolution, but I figure if anyone has figured it out, it'd be someone here at xda.
So, my question is, has anyone figured out how to do this yet?
Are you running 4.2?
If you're running version 4.2 or over and don't mind having slightly smaller icons, I would recommend changing your DPI from 213 to 160 in /system/build.prop
Of course you will have to be rooted to do this, but this would be worth trying and should give you what you're looking for .
If you're running 4.1.2 maybe try this this method also (as I can't remember the layout when you change your DPI on 4.1.2, and you can always change it back). If not, try some launchers from the Play Store like Apex or Nova.
Hope this helps.
I'd very much like the Nexus 10 landscape on my Nexus 7 as well. Right now, the Nexus 7 landscape looks like a hack for me. It doesn't even look tablet-ish. Anxiously seeking solutions.
I tried what Fuzone suggested and it worked just fine... Needed to adjust some widgets and whatnot but other than that it's good. That is if you don't mind the smaller icons.

Nova Launcher Prime paired with paranoid rom = profit... Lower DPI with paranoid and increase rows and columns with nova if you play around with nova launcher settings you can achieve this... make launcher horizontal instead of vertical in landscape mode too in settings etc etc
please try this patch. you can have the TRUE tablet UI like Nexus 10.

That seems to be for 4.1.2. I don't think it'll work for 4.2+

Possibly silly question. How does the N10 UI / N7 tablet patch differ from dpi switch to 160 on N7 ?
I am asking from a visual standpoint, not technical....

This worked for me on 4.2.1. Flash the proper file (odexed/deodexed) tablet UI from your favorite recovery. The launcher is messed up but Nova Launcher free clears it up. See post number 912 in the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780970&page=92
While you're there, grab the appropriate stock UI file because the Nexus will not OTA update with the mod installed. Also, if you're running an earlier OS, there are files like these for 4.2 and 4.1.2 earlier in the topic.
Does anybody know how i can get Nexus 6's launcher onto the Note 4. I install Google Now launcher and it gives me a 4x4 grid. But all the Nexus 6 vids show a 5x5 grid utilising the resolution properly. Is it some modified Google now launcher? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm not here to boast about anything Note or Nexus related. I just like that launcher and am just very curious. Thanks.
Did you long press on the screen and then modified your settings, if i remember correctly you can change it from there, another option its to use a launcher like Nova wich its my favorite, for some weird reason google now launcher drains my battery fast :-/

I know of XposedGEL I was looking thanks stefantumi. I was looking for a method that wouldn't require root though. Honestly I thought Google just made it dependent on the screen resolution really or if anything it's a different apk that could be easily extract-able and honestly I'm kind of surprised nobody else has brought this up yet I guess I'm just picky.
Nova launcher was my first thought too pikul, and I AM running it on a 5x5 grid. I'll try extracting the apk from the factory image of the nexus 6 and see if i can install that.
