heres a mirror guys: http://www.2shared.c...27v02paTO.html?

to adress some questions,

yes, this is out for gms

everything works, except the market, it does not show all apps. next version will have it fixed for sure.

160, yeah ... no. im going with treshold on this. i can make that marked work through hacking, wouldnt wanna drop to such a crazy small dpi.

cam in auto-fullscreen is standard cm9 behavior and it makes sense actually. normally you get out of it by tapping, but tap a cam and it thinks you want to set focus. so you longpress the powerbutton, menu comes up, press home and you're out. its not really distracting once you've done it. but yeah, first time it happened to me i was also kinda dazzled hehe.

2 edits in build.prop, i guess that was quite snazzy but to be honest i was kinda frustrated because i made requests and tried to convince people but i felt the potential was overlooked. even asked you, in your project i think. that snazzy line adressed actually tablet mode roms on xda which are popping up like breeding bunnies and all they do is editing the build.prop. i think thats really silly. i know you did more - you shouldnt feel adressed though, you know what you're doing - a great job btw! but lets continue the story, ... so then i went ahead and made a topic that focussed on manual fixes. but with that we only came so far - compiling a dedicated rom for this allows me to actual adress real issues with tablet mode, changing the framework becomes easy. this here is only pre-alpha, and yet, after two days of work (and a week of laerning how to deal with linux and compile), it has already stuff in it that is far from standard tab mode on a phone which of course brings alot of drawbacks. no overlapping elements anymore, recents window closer to stock, and so on. im planing to pull this thing through in three stages: 1. layout fixes, changing the framework so that it'll carry tabUI without kinks. 2. changing system, im thinking per app dpi, lowering treshold, making it accessible on non nexus phones. 3. tweaking with toggles in a dedicated settings panel. one thing though, i dont care about reputation or name or success or whatever, its not competition, i'll make my overlay public on git soon and i hope this will push rom makers more to consider that tab mode needs work and should not be stuffed into a phone just by dropping to 160, as zaphod for instance said - i just wanna have tab mode running nicely on my phone and im fed up waiting for others to do it - so i do it myself then. sorry for the snazzyness.

  • 20120427v0.2pre-alpha-gapps:
  • Fixed Gapps package based on 20120422 including Gmail and a working Market

wash this package over via cwm, clear cache and wipe dalvik cache. it contains the latest gapps plus google plus market hack. and just to explain myself here, yes, this contains the fix from lcd density modder. but i did not want to just rip it off, so i sat down and studied the code (bought it of course). i once made a hack aswell on my own, and its funny to see that we both hacked the exact same positions. i did not know though that i need to hack GoogleServicesFramework aswell, he had a tiny dpi hardcoded in there that was missing in my version and he bases the hack on an ancient version, i tried to apply it to to the newest and it crashed. i do not know know why yet, but for now thats the old gsf.
 
First off I'd like to say thank you so much for your work, I discussed tablet mode with friends and they all blew it off almost as if it's a fad, I knew someone on here would take it serious and make something of it so thanks again for your work. Now for my question, it's been awhile since I've messed with CM9 (I've been on AOKP for a month or 2 now), what happened to the CMSettings? I can't find any CM related settings anywhere. Example, when\re can I change what toggles are available in the notification bar? Maybe it's just because of the tablet mode and I'm not seeing the settings somewhere, or maybe I'm just missing a 3 dots settings buttons somewhere.

I believe it is because of the tablet mode. If the dpi is changed back to 320 you get all the extras from cm9 but of course you lose tablet mode; and changing back to 192dpi you lose some cm9 settings. All a working progress

That's what I was thinking. Is it possible to switch the DPI to 320, reboot, get the options and do all the setup I want, then change the DPI back and reboot and all is well, which I'm totally fine with? Or will that break something in the process?

cyanogenmod follows a new philosiphy i think, they diffuse their settings now, you'll find additions pretty much everywhere. if you go to googles stock volume panel for instance, you'll find in there volume related additions from cm. its not a big deal, pretty nice actually. the settings itself are more practical than tweak...ery if that is a word. im sure though more settings will come. auto-fullscreen already is a super-nice tablet addition that aokp never had. the threedotted button is still there, but its invisible unless an old gingerbread app requests it.

you can try but i dont think it'll work. i have seen the code and i see four hardcoded buttons, one of em invisible by default. i see no hooks or stubs.believe me though you dont want to have more buttons there. space is very limited in hybrid mode because of the combined bar down there. it need to carry these buttons, notification symbols, a clock, battery, wifi and data network. it would be no problem though to switch on the "..." by default but this one looks kind of dodgy if you ask me. the navbar from a visual standpoint needs some free space i think lest it be completely cluttered. i already had to limit the notification symbols to keep them from overlapping, portrait has a maximum of two in the latest build.

I did notice that, I like where they're going, soon you won't even be able to tell your on a ROM, everything will blend seamlessly. I know last time I used CM9 the toggle settings where there in the CMSettings section. I'm going to try changing my DPI and rebooting and seeing if I can find them, then switch back and hope all changes stay :D

PS: Just in case anyone's wondering, this is working flawlessly on BootManger.

Ahh I gotcha, maybe I won't mess with it then

I don't want a ton of toggles or anything, I'm good with 3, I just need one to be 4g because where I'm at normally doesn't get the best 4g reception so it constantly trying to connect to 4g destroys my battery, but I do like to turn it on from time to time so. Maybe I'll play around, if I do I'll post my findings.

you should, im sure you'll like...well, parts of it. : D a temporary solution would be to use a toggle widget

Oh, good to know about BM! Thanks for the heads up!

whut!? sure? you need to tap that panelbutton once more to make it show the toggles. i swear i saw them hardcoded, how could they disappear. :D

You know what, I lied, lol, they're there. I swear they weren't the first time I booted after the change. One thing I will say to anyone that messes with the DPI, before you go changing anything undo "[background=rgb(245, 245, 245)]Check "Auto Hide" in Settings, System, Statusbar, to finally get Fullscreen" or you'll have no navbar. I'm at work so I have no adb but luckily with dropbox and root explorer and like 8 reboots I got it back to 192 DPI.[/background]
 
Great work on this! Getting ready to install it. Question: Are the gapps that are linked in the op (w/ the "MF" after it) the correct ones? I notice they have the date 04/22/12 and then you describe some below that with the date 04/27/12 but I don't see a separate link for those. Thanks!
