it's nice to have tablet ui back in 4.2.2, isn't it?

yes, i have got my tablet ui back in 4.2.2!!! so annoyed by the new ui

i love the tabletui soooooo much since i saw it about a year ago, then i turned all my s3 (sold) and note2 roms' ui into tablet mode. now, its my tablet z (but i may sell it for the locked bootloader since i want my custom rom and kernel)

:victory:

How did you do this? I downgraded cause i hate the new top menu in 4.2.2.

I'm waiting for this as well o__o
If you tell me how to do it I'd update back to 4.2.2

I'm also interested in how you got back the old UI. However I noticed the small apps shortcut is missing.

Probably in the recent apps try seeing as though that's where Sony moved it in 4.2.2.

Please share the fountain of your knowledge on how you got this bud

what a tease

Hi all

I was updating my blog before and included a simplified howto, sorry for late reply.
@Spartoi oh, u r rite. I didnt notice the tray until u mentioned it, coz i just got my tablet for more than a week's time, and then busy to root it, testing the roms and problems fixing

Anyway, its a matter of time when there will be a guy come out with the mod coz like many of you guys, a roll back to phone ui really upset me
However, i have to say goodbye to my tablet z. I love it but it is just not the right device for me. I prepared to work on those missing mods, tweaks etc that i think the tablet z needs and deserve to have before but finally i find myself difficult to live with this tablet for personal reasons

This is a nice tablet actually, but didnt draw much attention as other sony devices

Its shame that you're selling your tablet as it seems you could have made a lot of cool mods for the Tablet Z.

Anyways I noticed in your blog that you will provide a mod to get the Tablet UI back for us less technical users. Will this include a mod for the WiFi version or just the LTE version?

Any chance of getting an Xposed mod? That way you wouldn't have to do it for each sub-device...

gfdsaorg · Nov 4, 2013

me too, me too!

Hi, can SGP311 (10.3.1.C.0.136) be counted in too?

Working! Thanks a lot!

Twincharger · Nov 5, 2013

If I root my tablet, can I perform the modifications you mention in your blog myself, that is, is that a text file I can just edit and save? I have 32GB WiFi version. Thanks!
