What launchers?

Using the default at the mo.
Any one using anything else?
Apex? etc?

Curious if the default has all the pinch-zoom capabilities of Xscope. I can zoom any mobile page with Xscope, the only browser I found that does that on all sites (like FB).

He meant launcher, not browser lol.
OP, I started apex, but realized what a pita it would be to set up, and said "I'm out" and uninstalled. It works though.

I stuck with the default one since "My Library" doesn't show your library in Apex.

I don't think it does right now. I tried configuring it and, unless I'm missing something, it's stuck in tablet mode. It won't let me get rid of the Tablet app launcher in the top right and the search bar in the top left. Also, all of the icons don't scale right, so they're tiny compared to the stock launcher.
I'm going to roll with stock until Apex updates for JB.

I use Apex. Its really fast and fluid on jellybean!

The vertical and horizontal margin options will fix this. Just change it to small or none.

Nova Prime

GoLauncher EX. I know there are newer ones, but it works, runs great, and is consistent with what's on my SGS2. Just never saw a reason to change.

+1 for go launcher. Smoothest and most functional on jelly bean yet. Apex lags with a few icons on screen and nova has a few bugs that need to be ironed out for jelly bean. Go launcher never lags at all 6x10 grid. Plus themes work awesome And effects. Plus it has full features and its free.

I've tried both nova and apex. Apex has some rescaling issues when redrawing icons in tablet mode. Nova is ok but it seems as if many of its features are reserved for the pay version.

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.

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

Thats a shame as the YouTube layout for mobile is seems really bad in my opinion.

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.
Like this... screenshot to follow...
Update: screenshot added.

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?

Full 4.4 KitKat experience

Hi there,
I recently purchased my nexus 7. I used to have an XDA account from years ago.
Basically, tonight I installed the AOSP ROM released for the nexus 7 on rootzwiki forums and I found that it had the normal launcher so it seemed like a jelly bean ROM with a white theme to it. Since then I discovered I was able to download and install Google Home and that enabled me to use the new UI with the transparent status bar and nav bar. So far I like it a lot. Its quite stable with a few bugs and it will get better.
And a video on YouTube of the ROM

I would add screenshots but the xda app doesn't let me

The keyboard comes out when going to home. Do you know how to disable it? As it's annoying.

Nope, haven't been able to find out how to either. And for me landscape mode messes up icon labels for me

I believe it's the launcher. As you can see, the Search Bar is out of place too, I have the Google Experience launcher on my n4, and it doesn't look like that. I believe this launcher wasn't N7.2 ready.
