I like paranoid android because of the ability to change the ui of individual apps without needing with ppi

I like Cyanogen Mod. You should maybe try it if it is on Jelly Bean/Nexus 7.

I installed glazed jellybean almost an hour after receiving the nexus 7. And, to be blunt. It is AWESOME. awesome is not enough credit for it. It has not crashed once on me, and the beats audio, xperia play engine, and more just make it worth while for me. It is overall, quicker than the stock.

thanks for the input ima try thing one out

Using paranoid android with trinity kernel. Soo much better than stock

Miui jellybean is the best rom i use so far

I said it because this rom has no problem with media scanner. I can view all my media files easily without having to wipe usb storage or to delete .nomedia or what so ever. It currently my daily use rom. Im happy playing with it event it lacks in mode.

dont know what your having problems with... probably flashed at least 8 different JB roms... never had media problems.
Honestly cant stand miui, tons of engrish and straight up asian characters EVERYWHERE.

Maybe u are a lucky guy who hv a lucky nexus s. Im having this media problem from the 1st jb rom i flashed. Miui.us is the first jb rom that i fully satisfied because there is no problem with media. It doesnt mean that i dislike the other roms. But yeah. I love rom that can play music and smooth .

used to like it, got bored with the damn iphone'ish look

No way...miui ics was much better...

I've flashed nearly every jb Rom available for my ns4g, with the exception of miui. I've never liked the look of miui. I've never had a problem with media files, but have seen and helped correct several issues that resulted from the rom manager app update that put the files where they didn't belong...

Its one of the best Android rom like cynogen mode...

unfortunately there's lack of some useful cm-features on miui such as "Automatic backlight setting"

It means he's a racist

when i use chomp sms , sometimes get force close

Everything is actually noticeably faster for me including the web browser. The default music player it has is pretty awesome too. Task bar is good. The only problem I have so far is the default web browser is having trouble with JW player. Every time I try to play a clip it goes to a 403 forbidden error. Other than that, it's a lot snappier than the ICS rom I had before (also MIUI, Oodie Prime).

Does nba jam was work for anyone?

Read the title. Mine just quits after the loading screen stays small.

sorry! i was typing it from my lagging tablet.
yeah it loads in a small screen in the upper left hand side of the tablet, then just quits a few screens later. havent been able to figure it out, but i see that people in the market with the n7 are able to play it just fine.
flashed AOKP r4, still has same problem.
dont see any threads about this issue specificall.y

First off, for me yes it works... Running stock rooted... I havent had any issues...
as for the other thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893566
Good luck

Works fine for me on stock unrooted. Did you buy it from the play store? I've heard of it not working on custom Roms due to DPI change or the navigation bar. Others would hide the navigation with some option then it would work

exactly the same way for me as you described. running on paranoid android and i changed all the settings but none work.
i live in a country where it's not available though. but it works on my phone so what the heck

I have paranoid android so I can change the mode and DPI though
I've used the natural dpi: 213, and played around with every single mode, nothing works..
i think i'm giving up with this game.. i loved it on my phone (3.7 inch) and would LOVE to play it on my nexus 7,
but no matter what settings I tried, it's like OP described:
it loads the beginning with a small window in the upper left, and shows me 1 full screen picture of the scoreboard then quits.
sigh.. i have downloaded their 260mb game data many times too
---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------
just want to say i finally got the game to work. the culprit was my status bar, which i made the size shorter in the settings of paranoid android. i want to thank some guy's blog, as he mentioned the game stuck to the exact same pixels, so you cant edit the status bar.
thank him and thank you all!! boomshakalaka!!

YouTube tablet ui?

I'm running stock 4.2.1 with Franco.kernel 38. I really like stock and don't really want to switch. Is there anyway I'm able to force apps like YouTube to use the tablet ui versions other then the phablet/phone ui?

There's something called Xposed framework and a module for it called Xposed settings that can change the DPI of individual apps; however I don't know if it can change the layout though.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

There's no such layout anymore. You can downgrade to version 4.1 of the app though

[MOD] 8-BIT and Super Smash Bros. SOUNDPACK (updated 11-1-14)

UPDATE 10/2014
Hi All, I was asked to share my 8 bit sound pack with you all. I always enjoyed the simplistic 5 channel sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System (80's Baby) and since I have 8bit icons, wallpaper, etc I wanted matching sounds. Any comments are welcome the aren't perfect for everyone. If you have an idea for a better sound for a specific action or other ringtones or notifications, I am all ears.
Included in this .zip are all ui sounds, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
Warning this .zip DOES replace your ui sounds, but DOES NOT erase your notification or ringtones simply adds some 8bit ones.
I used this mod with my nexus 4 and been using it forever with aosp based rom (RASTAKAT/L Preview) on my Nexus 5. I am only posting now because the forum is quite quiet lately. If anyone would like to take my little mod and use it in their work just give credit where credit is do.
All the zips are in one folder please ensure that you select the right one for your phone.......
8-Bit Sounds Android Lollipop Version --Now also for JellyBean>> >>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vnyoepqxvp52xje/8Bit_L_ver_SOUNDPACK _10_22_2014.zip?dl=0
Revert Lollipop UI also works for JellyBean(stock sounds) >>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e4ls9zpavnbf954/L_ver_REVERT_STOCK.zip?dl=0
Sup everybody, I just completed the SSB soundpack and I was wondering if anyone would like to give it a try and give me some feedback.
So the pack is inundated with SSB sounds from the UI to the alarms, and when you get a call the crowd cheers for your main SSB character.
If you like SSB Melee, PM, or SSB4 this might be for you.
Feedback is really appreciated.
--quick notes-- works with Lollipop or Jellybean. revert is now in main post^^. revert works for Lollipop or JellyBean.
