Presenting schnip's ROM w/ TABLET UI



nexus10tablet.jpg



ABOUT:
This is my first ROM thread! I signed up at this forum 2 years ago when i purchased my HTC Desire. So this is kind of a historical moment for me. I wanted to create a ROM that is pretty much standard BUT includes Tablet UI because i dont like the Phablet UI. There are other ROMs that do equal stuff but these come with a lot of extras and are not necessarily stable. I wanted a simple, stable rom that has tablet UI.
A little while after release i wanted to implement some more features. I think this would contradict the whole concept though. That's why I will make flashable zip files with the modifications, so you can decide whether you want the changes or not


FEATURES:
• Pretty much Stock AOSP except some Mods and Nexus 10 required proprietary binaries.
• Full Tablet UI :laugh:
• Native USB OTG support
• Advanced Power Menu
• SuperSU
• Stable for everyday use

When you click on the time at the bottom left hand corner does the quick settings pop up like on gingerbread or ics roms,?

Thanks! The rom looks great! Just what I was hoping for. The only issue I've noticed is that Google Now is telling me that the Location Service is turned off. When I check the settings, Access is turned on and GPS and Wi-Fi are both ticked. The web browser isn't able to figure out my location either, so something's going on with the location settings. Appreciate the rom, though!

That might be a gapps problem. I used these http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#20121212. You can try different packages but unfortunately i have no experiences with this.

Hi clavicle,


another user (billplowman) had the same problems with the location settings. I'm not sure why this happens. I assume it has something to do with the gapps. I used the Cyanogenmod gapps and they might have a bug. Im really new to developing Roms which is why i cant really debug your issue.

As a solution i recommend you to try other flashable gapps packages. (Just pick one of the other Rom threads) If it works I'd be grateful if you could post the working gapps here.


Adding extended power menu is on the top of my priority list. If you know some Howtos or any kind of knowledge on how to implement it please let me know!

For the Advanced Power Menu... here's a git diff of the changes... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34280090#post34280090 but you still need the images...

Great start to the exact ROM I am hoping for. Currently I find the time in notification bar to be small and hulu plus doesn't recognize as supported device (which I noticed on paranoid android rom too...). I tried some gapps but they either crash or location service is broken. Also what happened to tiles?

I def check back and test new versions of this rom. Goodluck and great work so far.

Thank you very much for the advice. I find it quite hard to "get into" rom development. So i really appreciate the help from an experienced developer!

I'm not an experienced dev... just another newbie dev!! But glad I could help!



I very much appreciate it! If you have time probably you can help me with another issue.


Im trying to make an update.zip for the nexus 10 tablet ui. Unfortunately if i exchange this file for example: /system/framework/services.odex I always end up with bootloops and dont know how to debug it.

Did you also replace the corresponding jar file?? services.jar??

Yes. I have a completely stock Nexus 10. Except that i unlocked and rooted the stock Rom.


Then i took the completely stock AOSP and built a Rom. I flashed that rom as otazip package to see if it works and it does.

Then i took the services.jar and services.odex from the AOSP rom and replaced the corresponding files on my stock rooted rom. (I used adb shell to remove the old files and then adb pushed the new ones)


And it results in a boot loop.


I compiled the rom using this for "lunch" full_manta-user. I used "user" to make sure the rom is odexed because using full_manta-userdebug results in a deodexed rom.

    Thanks a lot! I've been waiting for this. And especially if you can make a flashable zip for tablet UI it would be quite popular I'd imagine. Cheers! :good:

    @schnip, any plans to bring out featured rom for 4.2.2? Been enjoying your rom 4.2.1 for quite sometime now :)



    Yes i have plans for bringing it out. It Actually might happen this week :)

    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. :)

    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".



    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

    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.
