[Q] 4.2.2 Tablet UI (Notification bar) - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have original rootted rom, but I have a problem. I want use Tablet UI, so I changed lcd density to 175, than 170 and finally to 160 and i still have notification bar on top, but other things are in tablet UI?! Any idea?

I didn't have any luck enabling tabletUI by changing the density either so I flashed TabletUI Patch instead.
You could also use ParanoidAndroid ROM but if you want to stay stock then check out the patch I linked to

I try it, but it doesnt work. Stuck after flashing!

using the built in theme chooser in Zuebea's ICS {beta2} with HDPI themes.

Hi guys/Girls, those of you keeping an eye on Zeubea's thread in the development section may have seen my post about playing with the theme chooser.
What I would like to achieve in this thread is to try and help and guide people that want to change the look of their legend using Zeubea's ICS using the built in theme chooser with HDPI themes and describe the method I used in finding a solution that works (well sort of works) PLEASE MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
Intro:-
Basically the problem we have is our poor old HTC Legend uses MDPI and so far the availability of MDPI themes for CM9 is pretty limited, the one's I've seen so far are for the most part, only color changes and not really much else. Obviously CM9/AOSP/ICS is mainly targeted for HDPI XHDPI devices and support is a bit more common because these devices are newer, lets face it, HTC Legend is getting on for 2-3 years old now.
Updated 14-6 you need to be either s-off or boot 1.02 unlocked for this to work.
Begining:-(this is just an edited repost of what I posted in Zeubea's thread)
This was my first attempt at using the Theme chooser really, so had quite a few problems.
"OK, I've been having a little play with theme Chooser, there isnt much choice for legend as we have an mdpi device, but I saw a trick over on android forums to use hdpi themes on our mdpi device, however its not 100% successful.
To be fair credits go to cammycool on Android forums for the basic concept of changing the DPI.
1. Get an LCD density changer from the market,
2. Change it to 120
3. Reboot
4. Download a hdpi theme from market and try it, if it fails the system will fc, till it reverts back to stock theme I have tried 3 different ones only 1 worked which was the sense 4 trial For cm9 the other 2 are cobalt and purple kush those didn't work but they looked good till the theme reverted to stock.
Once you have successfully applied theme apparantly you can revert to standard density again of 160 yes, this does work for successfully applied themes."
If you are S-ON and NOT unlocked with hboot 1.02 you can try these to change your DPI, with thanks to homi3kh for these flashable zips

The results from this was hap-hazard at best and applying 1 or 2 themes that didn't work ended up corrupting my phone requiring a restore.
Since those tests, I have found out that the themes that bauked the phone do not support the trebuchet launcher, they are targeted for ADW Launcher or nova or apex depending on which launcher the developer targeted the theme for, hence they actually make changes to the launcher as well and not just the system, framework and what ever.
Next Steps:-
so what I did next was to install the ADW Launcher (stand alone) from the market.
made it the default launcher by pressing the home key and telling it to be the default.
changed my lcd dpi to 120 and then rebooted.
after reboot you will notice of course everything on the screen is smaller, BTW this is also the time I realised what the problem was with the lock screen which I reported as a small bug, would seams to be the the lock screen is still set for HDPI devices as the whole lock screen can be seen properly and is cut off slightly on normal MDPI mode.
Next went to the market and downloaded all the free theme's for HDPI that looked good on the screen shots.
I applied one that was targeted for the ADW Launcher "Purple Kush" this is also one that I tried before which bauked my phone, cool it worked without FC or crash or so I thought, pressing the menu key bauked AWD Launcher and crashed my phone again, grrrrrrr
just on the off chance I decided to try a Fix permissions on ClockworkMod App (not in recovery as I don't think the ext partition is mounted and scanned, correct me if I'm wrong), rebooted, applied the "purple Kush" theme again all good, pressed the memu button wow no FC, Success I applied a HDPI theme to my MDPI legend.
Changing back to standard MDPI:-
The next step was simple goto the LCD DPI changer, change it back to the standard 160 DPI and reboot.
upon rebooting the theme had stuck and the phone so far is working without issue.......
OK so here's the proof:- Screen shots of Purple Kush on my HTC Legend using ZeuBea's ICS Beta2 with standard 160 DPI
Edit:- in screen shots my settings for battery display was set for percent and not default, if you set to default battery you get the good battery notification and not the blue cm like the screen shots.

I suggest you unlock your bootloader to get this working. Although wouldn't it already be unlocked if you were using a custom ROM with Theme Chooser to do this?

Nope, in order to change the system dpi you need write access to system folder. Or you can make changes via fast boot and pc.
Edit check first post for link to flash able zips for DPI changes.

Galaxy Note: Latest Hybrids

Guys, i've noticed that in the latest Paranoids (v0.5) based ROMs i can't set the density of lock screen to the desired default phone mod. Also notification bar is corrupted.
Is it a bug or i'm doin' something wrong?

Doesn't help me :-( Several reboots, manual setting (320dpi), default phone setting...still weird oversized both icons and fonts on lock screen. Also some notification icons oversized in notification bar (e.g. Avast).
I didn't have such problems with previous v.04a. Reflashing STaxxtanium (based on v5 afaik) - the same stuff.
n.b. the only wipes i do: cache and dalvik.

[Q] How to get transparent status bar?

Hi
I am new to android and only today i rooted my nexus 4 and installed cyanogenmod 10.1. The reason why i rooted by device is because i need transparent (or semi transparent) status bar and a transparent bar at the bottom (the area with back and home). Is there any particular app or anything to get a transparent status bar??
thanks in advance

compiling systemui.apk and android.policy.jar to enable transparent statusbar and navigation bar right now. Will post APK if it works.
UPDATE : Who needs PNA :3

No joke, I thought the same.
AOKP has the transparency option as well, btw.

AOKP lets you adjust the transparency from 0-100%, both top and bottom or individually. It's also a great ROM all around.

Really looking forward to this if it works I've been trawling through the internet for something like this but there was no simple flash apk solution; there were many DIY methods that never seemed to work :S Will this work with stock ROM?
as far as i know it should be deodexed. just install a deodexed one (there are plenty of stock deodexed roms here on xda for n4). i am interested in this too
man i hate the new "wait 2 mins before edit until you a sufficient number of posts" )
Thank you. I installed and AOKP rom.

Hi. Can you please tell me what exactly u want.
Sent from my Nexus 4
he actually wants the zip file so he could flash the transparent statusbar mod on a deodexed rom on n4. if you want the systemUI.apk file then you should also get the modified framework-res.apk.
I can only do it if you're running CM10.1. I will NOT compile it for stock or any other rom.
if you do it for cm 10.1 then i'd be grateful thanks
not sure if this will work for you, this is compiled with the latest nightly. I sync it everytime. 50% on the statusbar and 100% on the nav bar. Push the APKs yourself or make a ZIP for flashing.
it doesn't... i mean it sort of... works) it f****d up the navbar meaning i can work on it but has flickering and shows images of the statusbar on the background and other stuff which shouldn't be there.
I think you'll have to use my rom instead
Is it not possible for this to be done on the stock ROM?

Disabling the transparent navbar/statusbar on lock screen?

OK, after using a custom 4.4 ROM for a while I got tired of the GEL launcher and the transparent status bar/navbar. So I flashed the nexus 4 factory image to complete stock and it has the navbar set to black everywhere but the lock screen it seems, so I wanna make it black again. Anyone know how? I would flash another ROM if there's one that has it, any suggestions?

I'm running Carbon with hellscore. I believe carbon gives you the option to change colors in your statusbar. I hope that's what you're looking for?
