I have searched high and low here and elsewhere; the answer to my question becoming as elusive as my grad degree. Any gnex7 owners having difficulty with the font color when long pressing the screen and pulling up the "select widget" menu? My menu appears with a dark gray background and black font. It is near impossible to read it. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
My gnex7 is not rooted and using holo HD launcher.
Thanks

Have you tried a different launcher? Maybe yours is bugged and the dev needs to update it. Also, it's not a gnex7 because it's just a Nexus 7, not a Galaxy Nexus 7.

1) Use ES file explorer as root and edit build.prop LCD density to 160.
2) Not that I know of.
3) 100%
4) Works perfectly.

I prefer portrait for most things, but like to use landscape on the homescreen when exiting a landscape app, so I will most likely use a launcher that supports rotation.
I just tried the Nova beta that supports JB, but on my Tab 2 7.0.
I'm starting to see why people are wanting the tablet UI back. I can only imagine it will be worse on N7 with the nav bar on the right side / notification bar at the top when in landscape.
What I would really like to see is a mod that will:
1) Resize the nav bar to 35dpi (47px) while keeping the notification bar 33px. This will give a usable screen of 800x1200 in portrait.
2) Move the nav bar and dock to the bottom of the screen in landscape (rather than keeping them on the right side of the screen). This would yield a usable screen size of 1280x720 (with the notification bar at the top).
For me, this would be the best mix of Tablet UI and Jellybean portrait only UI. So basically, the way ICS worked, but with the notifications moved to the top. And hopefully this can be done without editing the device DPI and causing all sorts of issues.
i used 170 dpi....loaded the go launcher............ gorgeous!!!

170 will not see all apps after cache is cleared from Google play.

i dont understand... what does that mean and how do i prevent it???
I'll be waiting until devs get their hands on their N7's and build a modified navbar in roms, perhaps like in ParanoidAndroid.
On Scott's stock 4.2 ROM with Apex launcher. But I can run Nova if that is the solution.
It's there a way to have a different wallpaper from the home screen on the lock screen? Or do I need to wait for some custom ROMS to get this. I've never tried two different backgrounds but I happened to come across a background that I really like on the lock screen but not so much on the desktop.
TIA

I was able to do it by using wallpaper wizzidri and Go locker (which meant go launcher)
I hope there is a different solution. I'm not much of a fan of go launcher especially on the tab.

So I'm running a cm10.1 nightly and they seem to have changed the transition animation going from an app to the home screen from the jelly bean one to some other weird animation where it flies out then into the home screen and its really bothering me. Any way to change this other than another launcher?

I was referring to when you're actually in an app and hit home, the transition to the home screen is not the jelly bean one.

Yea your right it has changed, but I like it

I quite like it actually. I'm not sure where you can change it though, if possible. Sorry for not being able to help.

Fixed it, enabling the wallpaper hack in trebuchet enables this animation. Turning the hack off makes it behave like it should.

Enable it and find out? Or do a super simple Google search that would have taken less time to find out than create this thread.

PIE is basically a fancy set of soft keys. It is activated by touching a trigger area. It is mainly used in place of a navigation bar so that you can use the entire screen.
You are able to adjust the trigger area to the top, either side or bottom.

Oic. I get it now. Tq.

You can set up something similar in the AOSP browser (SETTINGS>>LABS>>QUICK CONTROLS)... and with EXPANDED DESKTOP enabled (in CM based ROMs), you have 100% of your screen given over to what is being displayed... so no nav or status bar.
Everything is controlled via the PIE touch selection, usually with your thumb.
I'm not a big fan to be honest... I can see the attraction with a 'phone, where screen 'real estate' is at a premium...
...but on a tablet... ???

HI, I'm scissors_cut_paper. I have recently taken a disliking to sacrificing my home screen real estate for a dock. I am currently using slimkat, which has the ability to assign a long press function and custom icon to navbar buttons. To that end, I have created some dual use navbar icons, based on stock kitkat, but representing both functions of the navbar key. Now i'm no themer, but paint.net is pretty easy to use. If anyone has good ideas or request I may entertain them, though I would recommend having a play yourself.
To set these keys/icons in slimkat use settings/navigation/navigation bar/buttons.
The current icons I have made are-
Notification pulldown/longpress Quicksettings (Never reach for the top of your screen again)
Back/longpress kill app
Home/longpress application draw
Recents/longpress menu
Filemanager/longpress ?

All credits to slim for implementing the functionality, all i did was make some buttons.
Video of implementing (not everyone will need this, took me a while to figure it out though) http://youtu.be/ist7kSStb9k

any videos on you using it? Im interested...
YouTube link added in OP. Can do a quick video of how to implement (in slimkat, anyway) if anyone needs? Also did some cleanup, changed file explorer icon to better match stock theme.

Very nice man...your wallpaper is taking many threads by storm now too...
Slimkat also has navring features for those who don't like docks.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with my ring.I've got shortcuts set up in the QS, combined with the pulldown button in navbar means they appear right above where your finger already is.
