One thing that bugs me about the iPad and Nexus 7 is that the notification tray does not cover the entire width of the screen. In all honesty, it makes the tablet just look it is running a phone OS.
Is there any way to make the tray go the entire width of the screen>?
no, not in its standard form, that's the new tray, if you have tablet UI, it only takes up about 1/4 of the width of the tray and jumps up from the bottom. I'm sure some custom rom or hackery could get you what you wanted but nothing that is available to go right now.

Strictly speaking your nexus 7 IS running a phone OS, as the interface is in phone mode and not tablet mode. If you root your device you can get it to run in tablet mode and them the tray goes to bottom right of screen.

A strange thing to say considering that, on Android phones, the notification tray is full screen! Making it so on the Nexus would make it more like a phone OS in my opinion - each to their own of course!

Re-reading what I wrote, you actually make a valid point lol. I was just referring to the actual, literal size of the notification tray being virtually identical to a 4" inch phone leaving the extra space on the sides.
I know all about rooting, custom ROMs and such (major in Computer Systems) and I wasn't meaning that I wanted the Tablet UI experience. I like the stock 4.1.1 Jellybean (for now) and just wish the tray at the top was the full width of the screen. I am sure that someone will do it with a custom ROM so I am not worried about it, just curious if it is already out there.

Sorry, my post wasn't very clear. I know it "works" in landscape mode, but that's not what I mean. On a 10" tablet, in landscape mode, you get 2 panes. The left pane shows a list of articles, and the right pane shows the selected article that you're reading. As you know, on the N7, it just lists all articles. It doesn't efficiently utilize the extra space like on a 10" tablet.
Honestly I don't think it's ever used dual pane. I used it on my flyer and I don't remember it looking any different. I could be wrong, I dunno I can't remember how it looked. If it is supposed to use dual pane than then the tablet models tricks should do it

Thanks. Maybe I'll look into it, but I think I like the "phone mode" in general on the OS. It's just Reader that I really want to change.
I downloaded Google reader just to see if I can get it in dual pane mode. It may be the options I'm setting but when I configure it to tablet UI, it remains in one pane. I'll play around with it more to see if I can get dual pane.

See since I've dealt with honeycomb the past 6 months on a 7 inch tablet, I would agree there was room for improvement. And honestly I live the split bar, but I don't like that the whole system favors the tablet being held in portrait, nor do I like that the recent app menu takes up the whole screen, or that dual pane has been eliminated from many apps. It needed tweaked yes but they over thought it, or maybe they didn't think hard enough. Yeah really I like the split bar as it allows for less clutter and keeps the buttons from being bumped by accident, everything else shouldn't have changed imo. The nexuses default launcher quite frankly sucks. It's pure rubbish! A freaking dock on a tablet, and a search bar that's 6 inches long wtf?

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.

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.

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.
Any custom rom that can re-size the navigation buttons, so we can have more screen?
I want to keep them in the same place but make them smaller. They take up to much of the sceen.
search dev forums and if they have it, they'll say it under the list of the many features

I have tweaked the necessary files so you can update the stock ROM with a thinner nav bar, however you need a rooted device and unlocked boot loader, so you might as well go the full custom ROM which will give you more options over the nav bar, such as choosing your own size.

It's a custom ROM, and you have to be rooted to install any custom ROM.
I highly recommend PA over other custom ROMs. I just recently decided to see the status of CM10.1 and immediately restored my backup of PA. There are some nice things about other ROMs (AOKP retains the old 2.x behavior of selecting which app to launch such that you don't have to make 2 presses to open with an app only once), but all of them are pretty early in their development. PA can be modified the same way the other ROMs can, but the underlying ability to select both the dpi and layout of an app is invaluable.
I'm stuck with PA, and glad for it!
I'd throw my hat in for AOKP, it's got more customisation than any of the other ROM's and to be fair is now on milestone stable releases.
It depends on what you call customization. Apps are where you hopefully spend 95% of your time using your device, they are what makes your phone worthwhile. Curiously here you have virtually zero customization although the potential is the largest that android has to offer. Buttons and tweaks pale if you could see what's hidden in your everyday apps, if you have a way to tap into it that is.
ps. here's an example
this is how a normal rom uses the screen: http://www.abload.de/img/2013-01-04-15.02g2z5f.jpg
this is how pa can use the screen (and the hidden capabilities in any app): http://www.abload.de/img/n4-product-heroe5z5z.jpg
pa does that optionally. you can switch between UI's app per app. also tab-UI is optional and separate. you could run gtalk like that in any interface UI.
now literally hundreds of apps can do that, pretty much all google apps, tons of apps coming out everyday making good use of the screen now where nexus7 and 10 have established a market for bigger displays.
Hi all,
Has anyone successfully obtained the tablet UI on 4.3 yet.
I have just updated from PA and gone back to stock but really miss the tablet layout
I am also interested in tablet ui. I know custom Roms will be eventually updated and provide tablet ui but it is nice if we can have a workaround for stock ROM.

Tablet ui code was removed by Google in version 4.2.2 as they wanted a single unified interface, in previous versions some devices on stock could be tricked into one mode or other by tweaking the build.prop values. Since 4.2.2 the code for the (old) tablet mode needs to be put back into the ROM (As in P.A for example) this means it's not a simple quick task, Once the 4.3 code has been merged with the 4.2.2 sources I am sure we will see all the ROM's on xda updated soon.

The Nexus 7 comes with a tablet UI, unless you are talking about the old UI from HoneyComb that was depreciated a while ago. I don't understand why people are still hung up on legacy layouts.
"It's very clear what Google is doing - keeping users' attention on two general parts of the homescreen UI. The search / voice / notification area, and the app drawer / nav button area. Just like a modern Android phone. It makes sense - the experience across all [stock-ish] devices is now extremely consistent."

Except that that is simply not the case.
On phones the navigation buttons never leave the short side of the screen leaving them easily accessible with your right thumb while in landscape. On tablets the nav bar is terrible with the buttons spread out across the bottom while holding your device in landscape. The centred buttons are barely reachable on a 7" tablet like this. On 10" devices unless you are some kind of mutant, bred to be a piano virtuoso, good luck getting your thumbs where they need to go while cradling the tablet in 2 hands. Similarly the top-of-screen based notification pull down is simply not an ergonomic solution to something that you will be doing thousands of times with your device. Again this is not so bad on a device of this size, but is seriously ridiculous on large tablets.
It is all well and good for Google to say that they want users to have the same user experience across all devices, but they do not deliver on that. Given no other option, I would far rather use this tablet in full phone mode, with navigation buttons that never leave the short edge of the screen, than use the new "Tablet UI". I have actually clicked the DPI up to 340 and find the phone UI much easier to use than the default one, with the obvious exception of the full screen notification shade (which just looks ugly on this device). At least though, this configuration would be more condusive to one handed landscape navigation.
So, for me, I am going to keep using the old tablet UI as long as Google leaves the code in there for me to use and hope that they come to their senses one day over at the AOSP and realize that they've actually taken a step backwards in terms of user friendliness.
No need for nay-sayers to jump in when someone asks for a customized user experience. That's the beauty of Android! It isn't a one size fits all, apple-corer OS. The only limit is your imagination, and how much time you want to spend learning and tweaking. I say tweak on, young man, tweak on!

The new UI is much better looking, to be fair. And the notification area on the old one felt a bit rushed - for example, if a notification came in, it hijacked the entire notification area so you couldn't get to other notifications until it was gone - or at least, that's what I thought until I figured out that (for whatever reason), notifications could be cancelled by pressing somewhere else on the navbar (in other words, that 'feature' was a nuisance and user unfriendly in many ways).
I had plenty of moments where I went to get an email by opening the notification drawer when something else suddenly notified me and I ended up somewhere I didn't want to be like Appy Geek instead.
Also, the fact that it was a tap to open instead of at least a swipe upwards made no sense at all.
I get that you power users are happy to have to practice using your technology like it's some sort of art form, but please save the rest of us the bother.

Agreed, it was a very inconsistent experience. Also, trying to get expandable notifications to work properly with gestures was a pain.
That's what's great about Android on a Nexus device. You get to choose what you like and everyone will be happy.
No one option is better than another. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean someone else should not be using it.
