Nice work on the update, schnip! You're on your way to becoming developer guru!

I tried to apply the changes for the Power Menu but i get an error in diff --git a/core/res/res/values/symbols.xml b/core/res/res/values/symbols.xml

the error says sth like ic_lock_reboot not defined..

Good one here, I hope you will achieve more milestones in days to come. Thanks as always.

OK @schnip, check your PM

Great work so far! Hulu+ still doesn't recognize as supported device and the smaller tablet bar seems to keep off notification text. Everything else seems great.

Yea the notifications look a bit out of place now. Im trying to fix that. I will also have a look at the hulu issue even though i think i cant access the site in germany.

One issue I noticed was with setting a wallpaper. Once you set the size, it will actually shrinks it by an additional 50%.

I've seen this issue in a Xoom ROM. I wish I knew what the Dev did to fix it.

I can't say that I've noticed this myself, but I use a great app called Simple Image Wallpaper Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ridgelineapps.simpleimagewallpaper&hl=en

Once installed you apply it like a live wallpaper. It doesn't stretch the wallpaper over several screens but fits it perfectly on each separate home screen.

The first flashable mods are now available!

You can decrease the size of the system bar (and revert it) to get more screen real estate.

Any chance of a tablet ui update zip that will work on cm10.1?

beerope · Jan 15, 2013

is there a function to expand desktop to remove the nav bars and clock fully when the power button is pressed?

Not yet. It is on top priority of my todolist

How do I get the Google Search to look like on the screen shot here? And... what are the 6 little squares in the upper right corner and how do I get them?

Just installed this rom a few min ago.

unnerv00 · Jan 16, 2013

Just wondering if anyone else was missing the stock email client (not gmail, but the one that allows you to connect to other providers.) I have applied the rom a couple of times now with a couple of different gapps zips and for some reason it doesn't ever seem to be there? Just wondering if it is me or something with this rom in particular?

Other than that, it is really cool to have the tablet ui back.

thanks

The home screen in the screenshot is using Apex Launcher. Its a free app in the PlayStore. The 6 little squares in the upper right corner take you to your app drawer (the screen where the rest of your installed apps are). Once Apex is installed, you may have yo go into settings and check "Use tablet UI mode" under "Homescreen Settings".

It may not be included in the current version of this ROM, but im sure schnip will have it in the next update. In the meantime, heres a copy of the default email app. And just in case you need the Exchange.apk as well.

Any chance of update.zip that would tablet-UI-enable craigacgomez' ROM ?

thanks

Possibly in the future. Schnip has been working hard on it, along with other things, so just keep an open eye out as it may just pop up one day! I've actually been working on it myself, though I'm not a dev, so there's a steep learning curve. I've managed to get a flashable mod to enable tablet UI but there are some minor bugs to be worked out.

Well the thing is the code that needs to be modified is a little bit different in every rom so basically you have to get the code for every single rom separetly, modify and compile it which is a big effort. Also when there are updates sou have to repeat the whole process. Thats why i made my rom which adresses the tablet ui issue. Youre very welcome to use it

Im working on a flashable zip for stock rom but atm i dont really have a fix for the bootloop

Thanks brGabriel for answering the questions

i dont know why the email client is not included. Its not a gapp as far as i know so aosp should include it. As i said this is pretty much unmodified aosp so if it doesnt include email client then its apparently "meant" that way ^^
