You might feel that this is just like those other CyanogenMod kangs, but no, it isn't
It has it's own unique features, and all code from CyanogenMod is regularly merged.
It isn't intended to replace CyanogenMod tbh, but to provide a better CyanogenMod-based ROM for tablets.

If you know how to code, and would like to implement something, fork a repo, do it, and send a pull request :)
Big thanks to goo for hosting, xda for the buildserver, and slimdizzy.

I can vouch for this :) Used the SGT7 builds of CM9 on my.. SGT7 and it offered some pretty cool tablet features

Thanks everyone, here's a link, gonna remove it in a few minutes though.

http://goo.gl/9mmh8 - untested as of now

Testers : do report back

should work hopefully, if it works pm me or post some screenshots, and if it doesn't, pm me a logcat (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Logcat)

P.S. Do a nandroid (aka a backup via cwm), wipe data, and flash it.
Thanks.downloading now and once my battery is to an acceptable level will update,excited to check it out,in particular tablet ui with the stock dpi should be great

Just posting to say tested and so far everything works. If you like I can post a screenshot later. No FC's and it seems to be smooth.

Only one thing - The tablet mode seems to be only a tablet panel and not full tablet UI (Launcher & Settings still like phablet).

Same here, not getting the dual pane settings menu that would be in "full" tablet mode, that is what alot of us are looking for. Aside from that the rom works great. Everything seems to be in good working order.

Just you ;)



Shall look into it :)
Ok, forgive me its quite possibe my noobness is betraying me here but at the initial link ( http://sgt7.tk/ ) there are two files, the .zip and the md5 sum file and when comparing the two they are not the same, am i flawed in the way im carrying out the verification? completely aside from that where is the toggle that you mention, i know i need sleep badly but im not seeing any option to toggle the UI on the fly its very smooth and similar to CM9 but its still 100 percent phablet UI . Thanks for the help

UPDATE: OK I SEE THE TABLET UI TOGGLE, it is in the status bar area of the system menu

Probably, as i check the md5 locally, on the server, and when i mirrored it to goo, it generated the same md5, and the rom did install, so the md5 is indeed correct.

    Just released Build 3 :)

    http://goo.im/devs/cdesai/grouper/sgt7-10-20120801-EXPERIMENTAL-grouper-cdesai.zip

    Had been up for quite a while, surprised not many found it yet.

    ChangeLog : http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#grouper/cm10/next + sgt7 features :)

    This rom is kinda the same but PA is beter

    It's not better, it's a different interpretation. This ROM does exactly what it says on the tin, and it does it very simply and effectively.

    With this ROM there is just one checkbox to tick to switch modes, whereas PA can overwhelm some people with options.

    It's bad form to come into this thread and criticise this ROM or say another is better. These developers work hard, and what they have achieved is excellent and worthwhile.

    Sorry for the delay guys, but since we all have only a Galaxy Tab, our first priority is getting 4.2 running on it, so that sbradymobile can start porting his awesome code to 4.2

    I've started creating the branches today, but it'll take some time, since our tab needs some work before 4.2 can be usable on it, and i've got exams next week so i'm kinda busy.

    If all you need is user accounts, they're enabled in our builds already, though the code has changed quite a lot in 4.2, which we'ld like to have :)

    TL;DR
    Stay tuned, there'll be a 4.2 ROM someday, just gonna take some time ;)

    New builds up :)

    I was busy with exams, but sbradymobile has done a lot of work on it.

    Grab them from the usual place.
