In my Tab 4 10.1, when there was android v 4.4 there was one very handy functionality.
When you were on one of home screens and touched the side of the screen it was scrolling to next screen without a need of sliding through the screen.
After update to 5.0.2 the function is gone. Is there any way of bringing it back?
It is still working in app drawer though...
Stock firmware, no root.
Anybody?

Hi guys,
Just want to bring a question here, so what do you guys think about the stock 'PhoneTablet' UI vs Pure Tablet UI in nexus 7?
What do you think are the advantages or disadvantages?
I personally quite like the stock UI and with how the hybrid UI looks like. The only thing that i'm missing is the bottom right notifications and settings bar in the tablet UI.
So how about you guys?
I actually like it as i have used 7' honeycomb and ICS tablets and it always seems squished down at the bottom with the buttons and notifications, it doesn't feel squished at all on the N7
I would prefer landscape mode- because most of my apps run in landscape- so I wouldn't have to rotate the tablet after launching, but I'll wait it out till Google officially offers a rotation option for the home screen- hopefully in an OTA update.
I really like the pull-down notification screen in JB over the old pop-up box in ICS, etc..

Agree. I guess that is one of the reason why Google decided to use different UI on Nexus 7 than on previous uniform tablet UI. And i found the placement of the three bottom buttons in the center instead on the left corner was quite convenient too. It makes the bottom bar much cleaner and easy to reach with either thumb.
I'm just waiting for Chameleon to be released
I'm still using the stock UI but I've locked it in landscape, so everything runs in landscape mode, can't see any reason for me to want the tablet UI.
I just updated my Nexus 7 to Android 4.2 JOP40C and it seems the very handy rotation button in the notification pull-down is gone. No quick settings either, it's just all gone.
Is it really just gone?
Is there some way to re-enable it?
Why would Google do that? Particularly after enabling home screen rotation in a recent update.

The buttons you're looking for can be found in the new pulldown with 4.2, you can find it by swiping from the top down with two fingers, or by swiping on the right side of the screen. I think.
does the launcher auto rotate when in landscape now?
Oh! Swipe on the right side of the screen does it. Like on the Kindle Fire. Thank you!

If you have rotation enabled and as at least 4.1.2, it does.
Indeed the top right corner swipe does bring quick settings but there's no way i can bring it with two fingers :-/
it might have been removed from final release. i tried and tried with fingers near, far, (wherever you are), but no way.
ps: i'm on a nexus 7

okay but how to customize them i have stock ones and no rotation with them
Have the same issue - no rotation-lock button in the quick drop-down, so thanks for pointing out the quick settings.
Does anyone know how to revive the little icon that should appear next to the date in the drop-down with a non-rooted N7?
Thanks!

Is there any option to move the home back and app switcher buttons? I have to stretch to reach them, is there anyway to move them so they are on the side like the menu button?
Agreed. Personally I'd like to see the controls fixed to the bottom left as they are for most other tablets. Would also much prefer the status icons switched to the bottom right, where there's much more screen space to make them bigger
I agree with you. I'm a Xoom user since it came out. This is one modification of the OS that I think is a step backwards.
It's because the Nexus 10 uses the "Phablet" UI instead of a Tablet UI. Wait a few weeks for some custom Roms to come out. Someone for sure will cook something up
Completely agree... keeping in the phablet mode may be ok for 7" devices, or even in portrait mode, but in landscape mode, those buttons are not easily reached with the thumb making it very awkward
Hi,
still nothing new with moving/positioning these buttons?
Root -> flash AOKP rom mr robinson -> go to settings -> rom control-> tablet ui -> choose tablet ui
(At least , this is what i do )
Find more settings there to move wathever you want
( write a pm to mr robinson if you want more customisation in the future )

I have gone to a full screen display and replaced the buttons using a combination of:
full!screen+ which removs the top and botton bars plus allows me access to notifications as a popup from one of the four screen corners
LMT Launcher's PIE to which I add the standard "home back and app switcher buttons ... etc". It can do so much more besides just that. PIE overlays any app by thumbing over a specific side of the display and auto disappears when not used. It even overlays during video playback without stopping the video.
Definitely read the documentation in the LMT Launcher post, as that and a little time trying the various options will really enhance your experience.
After using these two apps for more than a month I feel having the top and bottom bars are a waste of screen space.
I am running rooted Stock 4.2.2.
Yep there are lots of ROMs now that enable tablet UI for those who want the buttons on the left side. And some ROMs that do not have the option enabled have a tabletUI mod that can be flashed to it, like Sentinel 4.60
Note 3 was running 4.4.2,it has updated to 5.0.
Why not 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or 5.1?
Anyway to the issue..............
Where has the ink effect gone for the lock screen?
I also had mic available on lock screen but that's gone also?
Have they been removed or just 'hidden' away some where?
One thing sorted,mic is attributed to 'wake up in lock screen'.
So when lock screen is there,swipe,a little mic is on the top.
Hi galaxy opens phone and s voice.
ink seems to be working but cannot find where to change colour?
Because there is the latest version available for your note. Three is no 5.1 stock from Samsung.
Some features are removed while new ones added. Dig to find or maybe try apps.
Lollipop is so ugly and bugged,I'm going back to kk.
I have used this launcher for years, and love it. It worked perfectly as always until the last update. It still works, but the lower icons (phone, contacts, app drawer, SMS, & Chrome) move up about and inch from the bottom of the screen. I drag them back to the bottom, but they just move right back up. On the launcher home screen, I've basically lost the lower inch of my display to add apps. My background is there perfectly, just can't move any icons (to stay) into the lower inch.
Any ideas (besides try another launcher)???

I had the same thing.. You'll notice a gap at the bottom on several launchers.
CPL has been the only one that works as expected that I'd use.
Luckily in 4.4 it gives you the ability to remove the bar you see under the keyboard, it's around this time I noticed the issue with the gap on launchers like lawn chair.
How come you're only on 2.2?
Update to 4.4.
Besides that I can't see a way around it.. you could perhaps change the padding to accommodate the gap if that option exists.
That's the gap on mine.
The bar is there by choice btw
