[SOLVED] Stock Nexus 7 Chrome on custom ROM

Hey guys,
I very recently (with the help of a few well-informed xda members) flashed the paranoidandroid ROM to my Nexus 7. It came with the 'stock' Browser, as opposed to the Chrome that the Nexus 7 came with from the factory. I installed the chrome from the market, but it has a completely different UI. This isn't gamebreaking, but damnit did I LOVE the UI from the Nexus 7 rom.
I've done tons of searching, but can't find any info on it anywhere. (All I can find is the market version.)
The UI that I'm interested in is the Desktop-style one that the stock Nexus 7 rom had. With actual tabs, each with close buttons (almost like the standard android browser from 4.0 and before.) Does anyone know where to find/how to install this?
As I said. Not really a gamebreaker, but if it's possible, I'd much appreciate it.
---
Mods, if this is in the wrong place, I very much apologize. Move it if you have to.

You must have chrome in phone UI.
Go to the paranoid settings and change it to a tablet UI.
Hope that helps

what UI are you using with Paranoid? Phone/Phablet/Tablet?

I had the same problem too, I fixed it by going into Settings > Paranoid Android Settings, then Apps.
Select Chrome from the list. Swipe to the left until you see Layout/UI options, change 360px to 720px (or 600px will do). Click Apply at the top and click OK when asked to force close. That's all you should need to do.

Thanks, you guys. Much much better now. I love fancy swipey UIs as much as the next guy, but I really prefer a seamless ui between my tablet and desktop. I have that now. Again, thanks so much.

[Q]BakedBean Rom and device settings error

Okay, so i recently flashed the baked bean rom (latest one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131145&page=3).
It works like a charm and is smooth, but :/ there is flaw in it. device settings do not work and therefore i cannot remove the google search bar on top neither the Launcher separation line.
Is there any other "ninja" way to remove them?
Thanks in advance.

Zejsters knows of that problem
the easiest way to do it is install a different launcher

Problems with internet calls
Hi everybody!. I get noticed that with this ROM (BAKEDBEAN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131145&page=7) you can make internet calls through VoIP and a SIP provider (just it's and Android JB integrated phone feature). But I have found an issue that don't initialize the audio sound and mic during the call, so, the internet called that you have made gets muted...
have you get noticed about this kind of issue??
Do you have any solutions?
Thanks in advance!
PD: Sorry about my english, but I don't know exactly if I have expressed correctly what I do have on mind...

Finally rooted.. a few questions

Hey all,
I have my KFHD7 rooted and running beautifully thanks to the boards. I had more than a few hiccups due to the fact the board is so disorganized (HD 7, HD 8.9 posts all over the place, rather than in their respective sections). But.. all is good.
I've attached a screenshot below.
I have a few questions:
- When using Smart Keyboard Pro (best keyboard out there!) I notice that the 'softkeys' overlap it. Do you think this is an app problem?
- Does anyone know how I can enable a 'Recent Apps' thing or similar? I tried a few.. and I'm currently using one that I slide left (I forget its name), but it works.. but not as nice as the ICS one
- Perhaps because of the 'recent apps' problem, but when I receive notifications via Gmail, the status bar crashes. Any ideas on a fix?
- For many, many apps that have tablet versions, I find it sticks to the mobile phone version, which is clunky. Any ideas how I can fix this?
- Also, despite having Google Search downloaded (but I had to sideload it since the Play Store says it is not compatible), all searches still redirect to the Amazon version. Fixes?
Many thanks for all your help and tips!

Just a FYI everyone of those questions can be answered and have been solved just use the search forum.. Just bc you think this forum is "disorganized" doesn't mean you cant use the search tool. Here are some links to get you started:Nav bar problem for keyboards: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038452Recent Apps:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158395 And as far as you mobile verzions apps try altering the dpi and there is some threads on that as well.. Google search:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155017 I think that about covers it..:good:

I've found the Google Search pretty poor on the forum; for example to have an adequate response I need to do 4 or 5 searches, on each forum, ya know?
But thanks for highlighting the answers for me

[Q] Timur's Host USB ROM

Hey guy's. so i installed Timur's Host USB ROM on my Google Nexus 7 3G tablet. i'm setting it up now and have a very stupid problem on my hands. i know i should be able to fix it, but i can't seem to figure it out.
I installed Gapps for my setup and installed a lot of apps. the apps automatically put a shortcut on my homescreen. the problem is i have apps appearing off the screen of my nexus. seems as though theres an extra row/column thats allowing apps to be placed, but isn't visible on my tablet screen. i've tried adjusting the row/columns to the lowest setting, but to no avail. actually seems like that setting doesn't actually change any settings. whats wrong and going on?

In google play, go to settings and disable auto add shortcut. For the extra rows, i would install a different launcher, like apex or nova.

may rssuhy
So what your saying is there's no fix?/I'm not an idiot? I just have to download a new launcher over the 1 I have now?
I've had some experience with apex and know it pretty well. Never tried nova. What would people recommend?

Since I am not running that rom, i have no idea if there is a fix. But, a new launcher would fix it. I never use a stock rom launcher anyways. I always use Nova. I havent tried GO launcher lately, as it was a little laggy after jb. It is probably fixed by now though.
If you post the link to timurs rom, or pm it to me, i will add it to my multiboot and play with the launcher.

just fixed my problem. was playing around with it for a little and figured it out. I didn't have "expand windows to screen size" selected and for some reason it was making them bigger. so yeah. that fixed everything.

Cool deal. I just installed it a few minutes ago. Time for me to build a y-cable! Now if timur would incorporate kexec support into his kernels, it would be perfect. Cant live without multirom, lol. Anyways, glad you got it figured out.

Issue: Facebook app issue when close with back button

*This has been asked in the S8+ forum, but since I am using the S8, I would like to relay the message here,
Guys, I have noticed that, about 2 days ago, the Facebook app began to create a weird issue when I click the back button to close the app. Someone already made a video clip as seen below to illustrate the issue. Does anyone have the same issue and found a way to fix it? This hiccup really annoys me

Thanks guys

The same here

I really don't know what causes this issue. Maybe Facebook app is the one to blame since I am using Nova launcher and the other guys use stock launcher.

I am also using the stock launcher. Probably is the facebook app as you said. Tested almost all my apps but it's the only one with the problem.

I'm 99% sure there's something wrong with their adaptation to full screen mode and it forces a redraw once you exit. It's been annoying the heck out of me.

I think I found a work-around solution for this issue temporarily. This is how I did:
1. Changed your default launcher to stock Samsung.
2. Restarted the device.
3. Changed the launcher to Nova.
4. Changed the Facebook icon to something else.
5. Clicked on Facebook app, used the back button .... and the wallpaper didn't jump!
I updated to the new OTA today, and the problem came back. However, when I went through the same steps, the issue stopped. Give it a try, guys!

I have the S8 and noticed this too, but I never took note of which app caused it. Now I know it's Facebook

I am unique.butt From Softlinks.
The Solution is so simple click and hold on Facebook App icone Then go into app info and scroll down and find the option (Appear On Top) disable this option now your Facebook app will close with back key if you fave similar problem with ither android app you can do this with those apps as well i hope you will like this solution thanks.
