[POLL] Stock vs tablet workspace

I would like to start this to see how many people use tablet workspace since it seems only a few roms seem to be embracing this. Please state what rom you are using and what you use to trigger tablet mode.
I am using PA 2.1.1 with small tab ui

PA 2.1 tablet ui (mid).
Don't like roms that shrink the nav bar too much either!

I'm using tablet ui, liking it a lot
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Stock, rooted 4.1.1 here.
Used the local.prop DPI setting to get it into tablet mode and use the app "Set Orientation" to force the last remains (like lockscreen) into landscape for total tablet experience to my likes
Also I'm using GoLauncherEx, which works fine for me landscaped.

Alot of you are using a depreciated method of forcing tabUI by using dpi hacks. IMHO only sgt7 and PA are the only seamless roms that do this well. PA also lets you choose the navbar height independently.
Personally I would never run phabletUI on my tablet. That sounds funny

I wouldn't call it "depricated", I'd call it "the savest and most less intrusive way".
I don't want to flash a different ROM and I don't have to edit any system files - #1 way of doing it for me. And it works just fine

It may seem like its working fine but when I did it that way many apps were gone from my market (google play music, wallet off the top of my head) and the copy/paste bar was nowhere to be found when editing text.
Of course I could have messed something up and yours could be fine.

About the apps, maybe I just got lucky so far and the ones I use on my N/ don't set the compatibility stuff in the way that makes them appear to be incompatible with the N7.
About the copy/paste bar, I just tried and yes, it's "gone" like you say.
But I use GoKeyboard and that has copy/paste buttons as well, so I can live with that for now

[Q] Can anyone get NBA Jam® to work on the N7?

I'm rooted with CNA installed and using Franco as my kernel. If you did get it to work, what was your setup?

Doesn't work on mine, I'm using motleys kernel

Works on stock unrooted. It may have to do with DPI if that's changed.

Works on mine. EOS tablet mode with Trinity kernel.

I'll try EOS. Thanks

I'm stock, not rooted. Works perfect for me. Are you sure you're using teh latest update? It just got updated about a month or so ago to work on Nexus 7

Yea, I downloaded the latest version from Google Play. It must be the cna. Once I get back from work, I'll install EOS and give that a try. I really hope it works. Its one of my fav games on android.

You guys rock! EOS works perfectly with NBA Jam! I'm now a very happy gamer

boomshakala!

any help?
i have an unlocked and rooted nexus 7, but i changed the dpi to get the tablet mode and notification bar.
what do i have to do now to play nba jam?
what is EOS? do i have to go through a lot of trouble to install a custom rom?
all i want is the tablet style notification bar, as i use nova launcher anyways.

Set your dpi back to the original dpi. That was causing the issue for me not launching.

I have no problems with changing the dpi, except I want to keep the tablet taskbar..
any easy way to doing so?

i'm on paranoid android, i used all the dpi settings, and none of it works for me.
when i load the game, in the beginning it loads the screen on the upper left corner
then the big screen comes on, then it shuts off.
i've changed my dpi from 160 to 213 to bigger, none of it works. any help?

Anything like Go Locker?

Is there other apps like it? Widgetlocker is so old and outdated that the stock lockscreen works better then it. I just mainly want something I can customize and use as a lock screen.

MagicLocker.
How about MagicLocker? It's pretty easy to use and works well. I tried Go Locker, Stock, even Widgetlocker, but I always come back to ML. I use it on my S3 & Nexus 7. Very happy

Play store pulls a not compatible with this version, I'll search for the apk.
The version i got is rather laggy..

Have you changed your DPI? All of the apps mentioned in this thread show as compatible when I check the Play Store.

Actually, widgetlocker gave me a very nice, jelly bean lock screen back when I was on stock. It has been updated. You just need to remove those gross froyo sliders

It doesn't rotate nicely like the stock launcher is another thing that always bugs me..

Nexus 10 YouTube APK on Nexus 7?

Is this possible? Would love to see it, would be willing to pay pennies!

What the difference ? You can use Paranoidandriod to tweak the UI to your desire.

The nexus 10 youtube app is completely different, it's not just a DPI difference, they actually redesigned everything :

Oh wow. That looks sexy! I pretty sure the apk can be tweaked to look like that.

I've been looking for those settings all over the place. No matter how much I fiddled around with it, I couldn't get that "tile" look.
Mind sharing the settings please?

I think that was the old Youtube version. You can download-then-sideload it from here:
http://www.androiddrawer.com/7215/download-youtube-4-1-47-app-apk/#.UScS71dc5tM
(just un-install your current version).
From version 4.2.16, youtube changed to the current look. So just try the 4.1.47 version.

As has been pointed out, it's the exact same apk. The screenshot posted is of an older version of the app.

My cousin just bought the Nexus10. Its youtube app look just like the screenshot. Too bad he doesn't want to root so I don't think I can pull the apk out.
But I will check the version# to see what the difference. Anyway the old v4.1.47 will give the same look and should work just as good (I'm running it on my TF101).

OK... my cousin just turned on his Nexus10 the first time (when I saw the youtube apk)..he hasn't run any update yet.
SO.. I guess it came with the old youtube apk --> if anyone likes the old look, just use the old version then. Nothing to do with DPI.

[email protected] dpi

Hi guys
changed the dpi on my n5100 to 160 by accident and got a whole new version of interface.
Is it remnants from another device?
I like it a lot but worried about compatibility with apps. Anyone tried it?

You've got Nova launcher or Apex on there haven't you?

yeah but look at the bottom bar. Very similar to stock android but Samsung modded. Also notifications screen has changed to the same as my Note2. most thingswork apart from the dialer.
Touchwiz will not load at 160dpi is the reasn i 'pushed' Apex from the Play store.

Nah, that's what's supposed to happen, it's gone "Full Tablet mode" lol.
If you clear the data on the launcher, it should sort itself out and display in a tablet form.

You only need to do it on the app itself, if clearing doesn't work, install another launcher then, remove and install the one you originally installed. But make sure you have at least one other Launcher than the default TouchWiz one or you could find yourself in a whole world of headache.
And no, the file that gets edited to change the dpi can only be done once rooted.

Which android version you use? 4.1.2 or 4.2.2?
