Themes / Apps / Mods Zui14PcModeSwitch Pre-release

[ferreol-fr]

Update : I've finally managed to do it without need of installing "Setedit".

As I have repeatedly read of users being disappointed with the lack of PC Mode in ZUI 14, so I decided to look into this.

My application simply does this with no other manipulations than a simple click on the application.

The first time you will run it, this will ask you permission to modify settings but your device will go to the desktop mode before you have time to do it.

When you will be in desktop mode if you run again on the app. You will be asked again and have to allow permission to modify settings. For a strange reason that’s only really required, for going back to the classic mode.

are you saying that if we use your application we dont need to use the staredit hack ? we simply run your app and it switches to PC mode ?

does your app switch to pc mode even when the tablet is not connected to external monitor or TV ?

staredit hack ?!?
Yes like, with setedit you will be able to switch to pc mode even when the tablet is not connected to external monitor or TV.

no, your apk file app-debug.apk.... if we install this apk file we can switch pc mode on and off ? or do we still need to do all the other stuff as well ?

If setedit is installed and if you have already run it once to change zui_pc_mode. Install my app, allow it to change system and you can turn PC mode on and off just by launching it.

I can confirm this works great. Typing this now from within Desktop mode!

Incase the app not working like mine I keep pressing but not working

You need to long press the then select app info then permissions then select modify system settings then click accept.The app will now work

Also thanks on the creator of the app because I don't need to use set edit to just go on PC mode

I wanted you make an update that I can add a shortcut on the control center

It worked very well, you can download it that works. Thanks to the app developer

I just uploaded a new version.
Contrary to what I had first thought. The only really useful element in the source code of setedit, is as far as we are concerned: "targetSdkVersion 22" present in: build.gradle.

The shared key, present in the Sources of Setedit, pushed me to do the same. For this new version made available to you, I did not make this mistake, since nothing prevents you from compiling yours with your own key.

Hi, thank you for the PC mode APK. but somehow when I tried to go into the menu, all the icons are somehow overlays and it is not showing the full icons and it is making it hard for me to identify or click.



And problem is that my game used to be in portrait mode in PC mode but now it is not and the game somehow just grey screen upon starting the game.



Any idea why is it so? Thanks.

Hi,
I haven't noticed any of these issues on my device: TB-J716F ZUI 14.0.127.
Which one is yours ?
Have you tried changing the font or icon size?
Have you tried rebooting to see if the problem persists?

Thanks for this app, it works well and has made me see for myself how pointless this mode is now.

Fwiw I also have the half icons on apps screen in productivity mode and it persisted after restart/font size tweaks..

Thanks, app works fine on Pad Pro 2022 SD870.

I mostly use it in portrait mode for writing and manga reading so PC mode will be a rare but useful mode when I need it.

Hi OP, thanks for the app but i'm also facing the same issue with the menu overlay. I've tried changing the font, font size and restarting but it's still the same

Mine is also TB-J716F ZUI 14.0.127. I didn’t make any changes to the font or icon size. Tried rebooting but still having the same issue

Are people able to get the video output working on the China rom? Mine hasn't worked since the beginning, thought this mode might get it working but alas no.

 

[jasonteoch]

I have manage to resize manaully the window to portrait to able to run the game without issue. But is there any way that the system is bale to resize it automatically?

But I am still not able to resolve that overlapping icon in the menu. Tried to find way to resize the menu but somehow it doesn't let me resize.

Is there a function or setting that I can set to automatically resize all open window to let say half of the screen in portrait mode?

Thanks
