[Q] Apps and games in "tablet" mode - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I'm trying to play terraria in "tablet" mode. On my Nexus 7 i have 10 item slots but on galaxy core lte 5 slots I really want 10 slots on mobile because terraria lags as hell on nexus 7 after last update. I tried dpi change and app settings xposed module but no luck still 5 slots its annoying because on my friends noname chinese phone (same screen size 4,5') he has an option to enable those slots. Anyone have idea how to force apps and games to use tablet UI?

Anyone?

Games not working as they are supposed to...

Hi friends, this is my first thread in this forum and i'm a complete noob in android.
i got my note 2 on 7 dec and it has been running nicely but i got a problem from some 1 to 2 days ago, i have some games in my phone and have been playing since i got the phone but now there's a problem, when i play each game it gets stuck for few milliseconds then running with more than normal speed and this process is going on continuously(i.e. stopping for some ms and running with more than normal speed again and again, so we can say in general that the games are running with more than normal speed)
Please help me on this one and provide some solution, thanks in advance
[extra details: i tried uninstalling some games when i thought it might be their problem, but it didn't fix the problem.]
(i can add a video if you want)
Stock rom or custom. .. kernel? ... what games is this happening on. ..etc are the details that are needed

Power saver mode on?... switch it off if you want to play graphics intense games. ....
Else try factory reset

nope power saver mode is not on, tried switching off but even small games were not working normally, i'll try factory reset when there's no option available(i've downloaded more than 2gb in there so i think it'd take time to download that again on a 2g connection lol), anyway thanks for your help but please do try to think of any other option thats left

I think I might be having this same problem, though not with the same gravity as you do. For instance, sometimes while playing something like Temple Run, the game will get stuck for a few milliseconds and then as soon as it starts again the game would run on super speed for a few milliseconds, thus essentially resulting in the death of my character as I wouldn't be able to control it. It's almost as if the system is compensating for being sruck fir those few milli seconds. But this happens once in maybe 10 games, and I haven't yet seen it in any other game. This never used to happen when I was playing the same game on any other android devices I had. Maybe it's a bug in some note 2 decices, or maybe a bug in the game itself?

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
can this be because of some app i installed?
and @SacGuru in my phone it is happening the same but really fast and continuously so you know there's continuity but because of constantly getting stuck it does not make the game look good and also this happening all of the games, and when i tried uninstalling and installing again it didnt solve my problem but what it did was delete all my savegames
oh hey guys i just figured out the problem, sorry for your time lol, it was an app which used to start power saving mode on its own i turned it off a few times and then i got suspicious and found the app and changed its settings and now everything is working fine
BTW thanks for your help
I told you so ...lol. ....anyways good to be of help

Does the phone freeze and reboot when it does that? I think it maybe a hardware issue my old nexus s would have screens like that and then reboot I was able to get it replaced threw best buy because of said issue so maybe Google will do the same...

Sometimes it restarts phone . just depends I guess. Play music messes up every time I listen to music & phone locks!
I have contacted Google about these issues.. They never reply
I beloved I have solved the screen issue with hidden settings menu in the phone.. At least it hasn't happened again yet

I have the #1 issue sometimes. But not #2, never. Which option did you disable to fix #2? Is it something like "Disable hardware overlay" or "Force GPU rendering" under the Developer Options?
How bout I love to flash Roms but every time I lose half my memory so I have to box cloud everything if I do so I can format internal storage is this because the 8 and 16 GB models running in the same threads maybe?

Disable hw overlay . then rebooted phone & turned it back off. No problems since.
The play music however nothing has worked.
Google says to uninstall updates to it then reinstall updates.. I'll have to mess with it to see if it has worked..
I love the phone for the most part. It just seems like they rushed to get it out to sell.
Doesn't really hold up to all the hype ,Keyboard cannot spell allot of words. touch sucks on it (light touch). Virtual keys don't hide in games.
Battery life yea no life in it. Factory launcher is boring.. I could go on. Lmao
I'm almost ready to give apple a try
Their are quite a few smaller issues as well.
Snapdragon battery guru seems to help the battery a tiny bit.

[Ununtu Touch][2 days review]

I had tried UT for 2 days and this is my conclusion: it's a fantastic system!
I based my vote in: UI, speed, connection(s), apps, others features.
UI 10/10
Ubuntu Touch have the most beautiful UI in the universe and I simply love it
Speed 6/10
Speed isn't the force point of UT (it is in an alpha build, it is laggy)
Connection 5/10
Gps and bluetooth have only screen image but they don't work really. 3g and wifi work quite well but they aren't fully fixed
Apps 5/10
The coreapps work very well but there aren't lots of apps for now (but you can find XDA and a Qr-Code reader)
Other Features 7/10
I love terminal because it use commands like ubuntu desktop and you can upgrade yours app quickly. System setting doesn't work correctly and system update doesm't work (it say there are a 20130834 update and it normally fail the download)
I wish I will try a stable image as soon as possible.
Cheers.

I've been running Ubuntu Touch on my nexus 7(2012) for about 2-3 months.
I've had painful moments, but overall and with customization and hacking, I absolutely love it.

Some questions:
-Is it possible to run UT in dual boot with android on a nexus (nexus 4) device ??
-Any chance to get whatsapp working on UT? There was a program long time ago but does not know if it still works.
-Could you make a walk through video with the actual status of UT?

I have been asking this for months with no luck. They have a dual boot for nexus 7, so I do not see why no one would port it over to the 4. : \

On my Galaxy Nexus I also would like to see a dual boot but I think I'll never see it...
I have been following Ubuntu Touch since the beginning last February, I have a dedicated device (Galaxy Nexus) to which I've flashed versions countless times. I read the forums and comb the web for news. I read blogs and learn tips for working with UT. I am excited for when it will be ready for prime time and am enthusiastic about the possibilities.
I ran UT on my GNex for 2 days (September 2nd & 3rd) using the 20130828.1 image...
The ringer volume is frustratingly low and doesn't change with the volume keys or on-screen tools.
The only way to connect to voicemail is to dial your own number.
There is no push notification for missed calls or voicemail.
The Gmail app looks like something from 10 years ago - there is no push notification and you can only be logged onto one account at a time.
The browser is mobile only. Screens larger than 4.5" deserve a desktop mode.
My cellular data kept dropping out - data had to be toggled off then on to reestablish a connection (T-Mo USA).
The clock on the lockscreen lagged behind system time whenever I woke the phone.
There are no maps or navigation.
Weather is just a bare bones temp and cartoonish conditions drawing.
Many, many PIM connectors and lots and lots of settings are just place holders without function still.
Why for the love of all that is holy do they have to keep including mock music and mock video images? Please leave it out - it drives me insane and I have to clear it by hand from every build via terminal and sudo rm. GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH.
They killed off the people home page - way more useful on a communicator than a music or video page. Music and video pages make huge sense for tablets and are just OK for phones. Phones are built as comm devices and need the instant connect that the people home page promised.
It isn't ready yet.
I have patience. I'm not expecting perfection on a preview and understand we aren't really even at a Beta release yet. I just don't think people who say they are using it as a daily driver are giving a clear picture to those who haven't used Ubuntu Touch much, if at all, and there is no point in gilding the lily.

Oh damn! Finally!

Amazing app found for our device

If your Samsung note 10.1 2014 edition is rooted
Check this app out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.xposed
It's awesome, you can customise the notification drawer etc
Best thing is you can trick the tab into thinking it's not customised under security setting and setting it to m official, this mean you can receive updates normally through settings

Looks good but wouldn't receiving the updates undo root though?
Most likely but doub there will more than a couple more updates like kit kat next year. Worth it , doesn't take long to re root it

Can't get this module to work. Changed several settings but it has no effect (even after reboot). You got it working on your Note?
One thing I've noticed and that's a show stopper for me, is that if you've got a PIN unlock set, the unlock screen is forced to portrait mode. The way I've got my tablet charging on my desk this means that it's upside down. Note that this module works really well on my Note 3.

FYI
Xposed framework was created by a developer on here.

There's lots of different modules

Its worth checking xda's youtube channel there's a few videos available.
Definitely a great app. It's great to check to see if there's actually any updates for my device, since the coverage of this device's updates seem to be very hard to find and different for different areas of the world.
But way more importantly, the main feature to get this app is to add any app to multi-window, like the other Note devices could do with MultiWindow Manager (which doesn't work for 10.1 2014).

FPSe Settings

Posted this thread a year ago with the Nexus 7 2012, now it's time to revive it with the Nexus 5!
Additional horsepower (especially with Franco Kernel bumping the processor speed up to 3 GHz) means more settings can be left on as default.
Anyone have any ideas on optimal settings? There are some games that get specific settings, but there are some settings (Enhanced 3D Rendering) that we can turn on now regardless of the game because we have the horsepower to do so, unlike on other devices that run this app.
I'm noticing some strange artifacts in the battle menus of Breath of Fire 3 with OpenGL (at least I think I have OpenGL on), advanced rendering, 32 bit rendering, and qualcomm processor fix. Still trying to figure out what works best on here.
I too have been wondering about the best settings for FPse on the N5. Been scouring the interwebs and can't find much on the topic. Just downloaded the app today. Loaded up FFVII, flipped some settings, and I seem to have messed something up because now it won't play when it did before. If anyone has any advice on the best settings for playing this game, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! What settings are you using in opengl video mode? I'm trying to get rid of some glitches/slowdowns in Crash Team Racing, but so far I had no luck by randomly messing with opengl video settings :laugh:
