Does it force tablet ui in settings, gmail portrait, etc. or does it just add the combined nav./notification bar? It looks promising. Also, will you be pushing your changes to github so that others can use them? Thanks for your work.

No, no, your N7 just came with Bluetoot instead of Bluetooth! Lucky you!
Maybe you have a different idea of what tablet ui is supposed to be but, to me it is optimized for landscape viewing.
I'm all for optimizing landscape, but I'd still want portrait to be usable.

Yeah, they have tablet stausbar but unfortunately it is not tablet ui. Settings menu for example is still single pane and the stock launcher is still portrait only. It's a step in the right direction but, imo, it could be better with FULL tablet ui.
It isn't unheard of for Market App incompatibilities to arise after you change the screen DPI.
How well does the keyboard work with this change? Typically the stock keyboard gets screwy in different modes.

You just took the words right out of my mouth. I was just going to post a question about how this worked with alternate keyboards like SwiftKey and Thumb Keyboard. Specifically since SwiftKey has different versions on the market for phones and tablets.

tablet ui doesn't change the keyboard...if you're familiar with how it works on the larger tablets it's the same deal...
from personal experience shiftkey phone, on a tablet, isn't great in landscape unless you have ginormously long fingers..i've been too cheap to buy the tablet version at $3.99 because they discount it to $1.99 all the time...
They have a few public repos but their framework base the repository that gas all the UI changes is not public

Looks good, I like the size of the bottom bar at 213 DPI. Will the "full" tablet UI be possible with this modification? With the different search and app drawer, and no bottom launcher? Like this:
All this is the combined status bar, this will NOT enable dual pane mode but thats my next project after I get a linero from out

Intro
Goal of thread is to share details around how the trigger for Phone UI/Phablet UI/Tablet UI works, and provide a dpi independent patch for tablet ui. Hopefully this also eliminates the misinformation that changing lcd density is the only way to get Tablet UI.
What's "true" tablet UI vs what is called tablet UI in many roms? The Tablet UI actually defines how some apps work (e.g. dual-paned settings like in the screenshots below) vs the other solutions that simply draw the standard Nexus UI with tablet navigation/system bars.
The 'Triggers'
In 4.1.x, there are two files that need to be modified:
PhoneWindowManager.java, located in frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl contains the code that determines which UI to present. During compile this is a part of android.policy.jar
WindowManagerService.java, located in frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/wm contains code that specifies the lowest DP settings and has the system select from either sw600 or sw720 presentations. It is a part of services.jar

I want to thank +aaronpoweruser, +lithium76, +cdesai for all their help and coding guidance; +Racer Of All for the zips; +the3dman for the Launcher2 fix, +z1gackly and +Nark.GA60 for their help with the CM10 patch, +Rsotbiemrptson for the odexed version
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for damaging your brand new nexus 7. Do not do this if you're not willing to brick it. Usage of the following files can cause a rift in the time-space continuum, the appearance of 20 foot android monsters in your town, turn your first-born into slime, change the gender of your significant other, tsunamis on mars, etc etc etc
Pre-requisites:
1. This is designed for Stock or AOSP JRO03D or Based CM10 (tested on Sep 6 nightly). Many folks are trying other roms that will either not boot or work. Please use the search above for your rom name before posting. Note: My development will focus on a patch to AOSP. I'm more than willing to work with devs on their roms, but the information above should suffice for them to bake the tweaks in however they want to.
2. You SHOULD BE DEODEXED. If you don't know what that means, then you likely aren't - so run a deodexer like mine or do it yourself . Update: Sept 7 - Rsotbiemrptson released a odexed version post 514
3. You MUST WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK. Formatting system and data/factory reset is not needed

Alpha3 creates a backup during install, restore using the following script: Mirror 1
Issues Resolved:Patched Launcher has huge borders on bottom/topfixed
Note: these new changes will likely cause compatibility issues with CM/AOKP roms and customized roms. Alpha 1 may be better for you
Reporting Issues:
Many people are not fully reporting problems. If I don't have enough details, then it's very hard or impossible to help.
Please provide:
Rom: (e.g. Stock version JRO03D, JRO03H, j5, etc) - this is found in system/about tablet
Kernel: stock or modified - this is found in system/about tablet (you will know if you modified it)
Issue Description: Exact issue, exact error message, steps to replicate, screenshot (power + vol down at same time) for visual issues. Words like 'many', 'a lot', 'often' are not helpful. If there were a lot of issues then it wouldn't have been released. If you are on another rom/kernel, please verify that any play store issues are not sourced by that rom/kernel combo first without the mod.
Bootloops, Crashes: I *need* a logcat - see my signature
Next Steps:
- Settings toggle (WIP)
- Hybrid UI (stock UI in portratit, tablet in landscape)

Rsotbiemrptson31Zips for stock 4.1.1
Hello,
I would like to say thanks for your work, it has brought my N7 much needed changes. I had to modify the files as I am still running stock 4.1.1(JRO03D odexed). I have it working for non deodexed roms incase anyone that hasn't flashed a custom rom wants to try it. I have also uploaded a zip to revert back to stock just incase. Both can be flashed through recovery, wipe cach and dalvik after flashing.
