Anyone have a Galaxy Nexus? Chrome has the new gestures/tab management on it and yet on the nexus 7, same version of chrome ... i don't have the same features...
see my screenshots... landscape you see the tablet version, looks like desktop chrome... the regular screenshot shows a little icon with a "2" in it... if you click that on the nexus you can swipe away tabs, etc... but that's not available on the nexus 7 and i'm 100% confused why it wouldn't operate the same on both...

Hi guys,
Just want to bring a question here, so what do you guys think about the stock 'PhoneTablet' UI vs Pure Tablet UI in nexus 7?
What do you think are the advantages or disadvantages?
I personally quite like the stock UI and with how the hybrid UI looks like. The only thing that i'm missing is the bottom right notifications and settings bar in the tablet UI.
So how about you guys?
I actually like it as i have used 7' honeycomb and ICS tablets and it always seems squished down at the bottom with the buttons and notifications, it doesn't feel squished at all on the N7
I would prefer landscape mode- because most of my apps run in landscape- so I wouldn't have to rotate the tablet after launching, but I'll wait it out till Google officially offers a rotation option for the home screen- hopefully in an OTA update.
I really like the pull-down notification screen in JB over the old pop-up box in ICS, etc..

Agree. I guess that is one of the reason why Google decided to use different UI on Nexus 7 than on previous uniform tablet UI. And i found the placement of the three bottom buttons in the center instead on the left corner was quite convenient too. It makes the bottom bar much cleaner and easy to reach with either thumb.
I'm just waiting for Chameleon to be released
I'm still using the stock UI but I've locked it in landscape, so everything runs in landscape mode, can't see any reason for me to want the tablet UI.
Hi,
I remember i could go full screen (hide the address bar) with S3 but it dont see any option to do so in S4 browser.
Any one know if its hidden somewhere or samsung removed it?
I really like the air gesture so would like to stick to samsung browser but its annoying to have the bar eating up the space....

Also there were another feature on S3 i'm missing, when i had scrolled down allot i could tab the top of the phone to jump back on top. Is this removed as well?
I noticed that the camera shortcut is not present in the lock screen (I still have to swype left, like regular 4.3)
For some strange reason, when you go to the Settings -> System Info and tap Android 4.4, I don't see the big K that rotates, it's just gray, and if I tap I eventually get the Red Android Splash screen.
And of course, no HDR+ nor that battery saving audio mode Nexus 5 has. (possibly hardware limitations?) Still, not a major complain since Google DOES state those are Nexus 5 exclusive features, but would've been nice to share across the GPE line (after all, wasn't that the point of a GPE Device? Enjoy Nexus features on other OEMs?? and correct me if I'm wrong)
I DO like to see Smart Dialer was included, as well as other features such as Tap and Pay, a revamped GPS setting, and with GEL, phone feels entirely new. Loving that music widget in the lock screen. It's beautiful.
Overall I'm liking Kit Kat so far, it does feel lighter, and battery has shown some improvement. Sadly I won't enable ART since it screwed up Whatsapp and I had to do a factory reset.
Have a Kit Kat!
So far its very smooth. Which music widget are you speaking of specifically?

That is only for devices with soft keys.
I'm not sure if it is just me but the status bar on the lockscreen is not transparent, it was on the pure AOSP builds.

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my Nexus 6P's OS to Oreo. I am using Google Now Launcher. After the upgrade, I noticed that applications that are parts of Android System, such as Chrome, Youtube and Drive have a white square as the background of the real icon, looks ugly as hell.
I am really disappointed that as it looks ugly and somewhat hopeful that this is a bug or something.
I attached a screenshot. Notice that Docs application, installed from Play Store by me looks just fine. But pre-installed `system` applications such as Youtube, Gmail, Photos, Camera etc. have that white square. Please tell me this is a bug and not a feature. :/

Just installed 8.0 last night on my 6P as well and have the same thing. From what I've seen the Pixel launcher actually allows you to change the icon shape, but I don't believe that is an option on the Google Now launcher. I would be really happy if someone told me otherwise because I agree, the white is really ugly.

Nova launcher has Google Now on swipe to right (with a small helper app) and adaptive icons. I don' use any icon packs but like stock round. I love the flexibility and desktop backup capability.

Its real really full screen as far as I can tell
The very top of my screen is the Twitter bar. The punch hole is centered on that but obviously the screen cap won't capture it so I drew it.

You could also use Monument Browser which has had the same feature for a while, has a desktop application for windows and has a lot of features that are difficult to find. However it's a nice step for the Samsung Browser
most of the browser will make a black broder where the punchole/notch ist, so this is nice
This is an irregular practice, yet it makes the telephone simpler to deal with, while keeping that Infinity show looking sharp.

This doesn't work with all apps. If the app has the capability the OS won't Force the status bar, otherwise the apps will continue to performance like they have before. Most apps don't support a full immersive mode because in previous versions of Android it was built into the OS and apps didn't have to support it.
Edit: I should rephrase that because I'm not taking into account the knotch area that didn't exist when immersive mode hit android. It seems immersive mode ignores that.

This is what i mean... The statusbar becomes a black border and the screeb behaves like before so no more screen area to use
Samsung browser beta just became my default browser again. Wish edge would implement this. I was pissed when they removed it so now I'm a happy camper that they've returned the feature.
