[11-26][TH4NX-4-FI$H!] Tablet UI for CM10

---

So Long...

Update 3/22: Autopatcher is updated for CM10.1 and should be working for all devices. Check our dedicated TabletUI thread maintained by Caldair.

I was about to post this in the CM10 user thread, but figured I would give it it's own thread to make it easy to find.

I have seen a couple people request combined bars and/or tabletUI for the CM10 build. You can get true tabletUI by using my tool the auto-patcher. It is linked in my sig and runs on Linux or OSX terminals and Windows actually has a GUI.

It just outputs a flashable zip that you install directly over the ROM, as well as a restore.zip.

The command in the terminal would look like this (the cm stands for Cyanogen and due to some irregular build.prop entries in the build, it is required:

./auto_patcher cm-fullofbugsETC.zip tabletUI cm

The attachments from this thread have been taken down as they were for the beta builds. Now that the Nook Color has Official CM10 builds, those zips no longer apply (Thanks to our encore CM10 team!)

If you want tabletUI on a CM10 Official Nightly Build, you have two options that I know of:

1. You can use my tool the Autopatcher to apply tabletUI to any build, for any rom/device that doesn't come with Tablet as stock.
   • Works on Linux, OSX and Windows
   • Windows has a GUI
   • One command outputs a flashable zip.
   • works for emmc and sdcard installs.
   • ./auto_patcher CM10-encore.zip voice (for those of you who want to use the command line)
2. You can use the ParanoidAndroid build (also nightly!) for the Nook Color- All the work and code from the CM10 kernel and device tree are used in these, so all the benefits are there as well.
   • Allows choice of Tablet, Phablet, Phone or combination thereof.

If someone is regularly making TabletUI zips for the CM10 nightlies and wants to maintain a post in this thread with download links, I can link to it in this space, but you should trust me that it is better just leave it up to individuals. The zips go out of date pretty often, and the Auto-Patcher is easy to use...

Since this is all just a little over my head, I for one thank you for the zip!

Edit- tried this out. Love the tablet UI, but it split my wallpaper into 4 sections, didn't like my apex launcher (app drawer came up narrow and took a long time to load) and overall made my nook run very slow and the screen became very unresponsive. I ran the restore and ran the update again, just to be sure. Same problems.

Maybe it's just my nook. I'm interested to see how others fare.

This is really cool and I had gotten use to the tabletUI on my Nexus7.......thanks for posting this!!!!!

@k8108, I am running Nova Launcher....IDK if that makes a difference or not.

What happens when the NC is held in portrait direction.. still a tablet interface, or back to the familiar one that comes stock with the alpha build?

It goes back to portrait mode. The notification bar stays at the bottom. But you still get the cool split screens in the settings menu.

I am not one to discount user experience, but these are VERY minor edits. VERY, lol.

Not much here that would impact response time or anything of that nature. You can look at the patches here. Go ahead and ignore the framework-res patch, since it isn't applied as lockscreen rotation is already merged into this build.

As far as I know, you should be okay with most launchers, but I haven't tried Apex. I do know that Nova and Trebuchet work fine.

Works like a charm. Thanks man.

Still a noob. Sorry but I don't know how to use the zips. Do I run it from an sd?
Edit: duh... answered my own question.

Thanks! I love the tablet UI!
