Looks pretty sweet in both landscape and portrait orientation.

How does the new expandable notification system work with the tablet ui modification? any screenshots of that.

the padding on the bottom (in portrait) and sides (in landscape) is kind of annoying, going to try nova launcher to see if it can be lessened.

edit: nova set to a 10x10 with horizontal padding set to small and vertical set to none fixes that

tablet ui seems much more efficient use of screen space compared to the phone UI
Padding?

Yes, the distance between the bottom bar and the lowest you can place an icon or widget, ill try to take a screenshot.

Basically lowering the padding let's you utilize more of the screen.

Well people thought there was no more tablet ui due to the standard layout of the nexus 7. Decided to test out the build.prop since i doubt there going to enforce that phone ui on a 10incher. Anyway just wanted to help those that were a bit on the fence due to the nexus 7 phone layout.

Oh ok....so you stated nova removes the padding....I have never used nova but can you use the standard google widgets with it? Is it just like stock?

this is awesome news!!!! thanks!!!

other than the layout changing, how does this affect the font/reading?
this is exactly the way I want my tablet to look like

so basically we have to root it first?
I am familiar with es-explorer, and this looks pretty easy to do
