So Actually I was going to write a thread about the two themes present in the samsung's TouchWizUI: White and Blue.
My Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 i.e. tab shows me only white theme while the phones shows the blue one.
But while messing with the LCD density I found that the firmware Actually has both of the themes.
so I started experiments on my tab with different LCD Densities and found that while we have both of the themes but we actually have all the three UIs with us too.
It's been the 4.1.1 update that made me loose my fav tabletUI and make it to the PhabletUI.
By changing Lcd density, we can see the changes in the UI.
Please see the attachments for Screenshots.
Range:
Below 140 is the TabletUI with the white theme.
Between 140 and 160 is the PhabletUI with white theme
Above 160 is the PhoneUI with the BLUE theme
though changing LCD density to other than 160 will make the touchwiz home and keyboard app to crash.
but using alternatives [launcher and keyboard app] can make it cool.
also densities greater then 160 [phoneui] will also cause the camera app to crash and the UI will change the camera Icon with a cute little green android.
Review:
TabletUI:
1) Samsung white theme is seen
2) There is no bar on the top
3) Notification bar opens from bottom
4) Battery percentage Is displayed
5) Even on rotation to the landscape, button bar [The one with the back, home and recent buttons on, sorry don't know the name for it] stayes at the bottom
6) In lockscreen only bottom bar is present
PhabletUI:
1) Samsung white theme is seen
2) Bar on either side of screen i.e. Notification bar on top and the action bar [let us give it a name] at bottom.
3) notification comes from top
4) notification bar doesn't fill the screen
5) no battery percentage indicator
6) On rotation each bar stays at there respective position.
7) lock screen differs from tabletUI as there is only top bar not the bottom one.
PhoneUI:
1) Samsungs's beautiful blue theme is seen.
2) UI almost same as PhabletUI with each bar on either side of the screen
3) Notification fills the home screen like what happen in a phone
4) When orientation changed to landscape, the Bottom action bar shifts to the right
5) Gestures in the bottom bar used to open google ow is not present.
6) Battery indicator is blue in color while it is green on the other two modes
7) When connected to PC via USB, Battery indicator neither shows a cross mark nor it shows charging.
8) Settings menu now don't have the dual panel
9) Camera icon replaced by android icon
100 Camera app is crashed
I also see a little performance boost when in phoneUI made.. may be because of no TouchWiz mode.
[Note:
Remember to install a launcher before changing the LCD density because it will make your TouchwizUI to crash and you will not able to select your apps from the app drawer.
Rather you can also put your build.prop editor in the homescreen shortcuts so than you can use it from there. but make it before the changes, you will not be able to make changes in homescreen shortcuts as it is a part of TouchWiz home and on opening, it will crash.
Your replies are appreciable.
If you like my post then hit thanks.
This is why its best not to mess with stuff you dont understand lol... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081640
Easiest way to change modes is to use a custom ROM. AOKP being the better choice. DPI changer built into the ROM If you wish to add a custom theme ( set it to 159, default being 160) and you can switch modes via ROM control and a quick reboot. I'm sure the OP knows what hes doing , just giving some advice to less experienced users.

I know that custom roms have better control on modes but the motive of this post to tell others that we already have the three modes with us along with the two themes ON STOCK ROM.
For those who don't want to shift to a custom rom or argue that we lost our UI after updates. This post is for them.
Less experience lol
I agree with you totally , but the amount of threads in this forum where people have messed with stuff not knowing what they are doing are plenty. Hey I was one of them when I joined the forums :crying: I've had bootloops by the dozen and even totally bricked a device by flashing the wrong thing on to it , an expensive mistake to make.
I actually like the stock ROMs , just that i prefer total control over the ROM i use, a personal choice ....same as yours ! I was just offering advice to new users. Basically make sure you know what you are doing before you do it or use something that's designed for the job if you dont.
Finding out how to recovery from a bootloop and how to restore a device from a nandroid is a must.
I do find it strange why people stay on stock , not even with root access.Surely that's what the spirit of Android is about, what makes our tabs different from the locked down nature of the iPad. Obviously its the users choice as they paid for the device , just an observation.
Have fun with your DPI

we won't learn to stand unless we fall.
okie I was infant about the bootloops. but I've learned from it.
I've previously use many custom roms and flashed my xperia many times. even bricked it a lot. Flashed , bricked and recovered.
I guess thats how u learn.
and regarding staying at stock was because this tab and its TouchWiz is new to my hand and want to learn it before trying something.
Trust me custom roms are not so far from me.
Amen brother ! If you have never had a bootloop you're not an Android fan
I actually got the phone UI by mistake on AOKP M1 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33898491&postcount=440 ,seems really strange on a tablet.But was fun messing with it. As for stock....Just about to flash the new official-ish JB on to my tab and give it a spin , be rude not to IMO.
Get a custom ROM on your tab you will love it, what you got to lose ? Can always flash back.

Anyone here using this module on a galaxy note 3?

Tablet UI all day long
Is there anyway to change the samsung notification skin on rooted phone in particular get rid of the horrible sfinder quick contact widget that always shows, i know there is a xposed module but i dont think xposed works on stock note 3 rom.
Bored of your jelly bean look on your Xoom 2 or Xyboard?
Here's a few things you can install to make it look like Android 5.1, at least by the way it looks.
THIS IS NOT A GUIDE, IT'S JUST ME SHARING WHAT I DID TO MAKE MY XYBOARD LOOK COOL. SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH IN THE VIDEO BELOW
All you need is:
Root
Safestrap installed in case you mess something up
Xposed Framework so you can install and enable the following modules:
Eggster - in order to make the easter egg when you press the software version be the Lollipop one
Monster UI - this app changes the ui colors and framework style, you can even customize your color
Xperia/AOSP Navbar Buttons - just select the lollipop navbar icons from there
Xstana (wifi, battery and signal icons) - select the lollipop status bar icons (and disable the navbar option there)
Apex/Nova Launcher
Bonus:
sEFix (reduce tablet lag) - works really good to reduce lag. Really recommend this app.
Smart Booster (improve RAM consumption) - only use it if you care about RAM, and you should set it up to automatically clean RAM when it reaches certain point.
it will end up looking like this, which kinda brings new life to the tablet and I think looks good:
Again, this is not a how-to guide because it's just sharing what apps I installed. Those apps itself did the whole theming and not me, but I thought some of you would like it.
Hi guys,
I bought a new note 4 yesterday, after my note 3 is dead.
I was used to install cyanogenmod rom when I buy a new galaxy phone.
I like to be on stock android like nexus devices.
This time! I don't what to install cyanogenmod to my new note 4 from many reasons, I like the s pen features and fingerprint scanner! But still I want the look and feel of stock android!
I can install theme "material theme" and nova luncher or Google now luncher to change the look. The look will change to a good point but the notifications on status bar and drop down menu won't change of course. They will be touchwiz style!
Also I can change the status bar icons to be like stock with xposed modules, but the pull down menu! Still I don't figure it out.
Is that possible to change it completely? The look and functionality?
And for the notifications, can we change samsung style small notifications on status bar to big drop down notifications like on stock?
I hope to not forced to install a custom rom!
Now that Wanam Xposed is off the charts and XTouch does not sound like it will have the theming options Wanam had, is there any way to edit the Notification Panel? Green is seriously not my colour (unless we are talking eyes ) and I hate the persistent *S Finder* and *Quick Connect* icons on there. If there is no app to edit the notification panel, how about a port of the S6/ S7/ Note 5 panel? Failure to all that and I'll take a Port of S6/S7/ Note 5 Rom that stays as close to TW as possible. Anything to get out of greensville. Any links/ info is much appreciated.
P.S Rocking a rooted n910h

Try the dn5 0.6.1 rom, its a fantastic s7 port for n910H or n910C, and the status bar is white not green, and u can remove the quick connect bar if you'd like.
Its completely stock and fantastically stable. You have access to themes as well.
You wont be sorry!
try good lock version 24.0.10(a newer version exists, but keeps popping up the sidebar)
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/
it gives you a notification area similar to AOSP style, but with a lot of customization.
it has smaller buttons, notification grouping, and you can select almost any color for the theme.
the theme color is always a set of 4 colors(picking dark blue for example gives dark blue text and buttons, light blue background, and green indicators) but you can shuffle these 4 colors around for things like darker backgrounds.
it's designed by Samsung for the S7/S7edge but works fine without root on the note 4 with android 6.0.1

Flipster does that, i am using it, available on play store, download it, & you can modify SystemsUI with it, not just that, it works for every other application also.
