Okay. So I'm working with others on getting our devices in tablet mode. I've gotten far enough to hare with you guys. Only some apps are in tablet mode. gapps and su etc.... so basically you must be running CM9 ( haven't flashed AOKP to try it yet) and you CANNOT HAVE NAVIGATION BAR! When I figure out how to get the bottom status bar with ics buttons ill let you all know
Now what you need to do is download LCD Density Modifier ( or root explorer just need access to LCD density)
Change it to anything between 129-160, reboot and viola. You'll have the SEMI-Tablet mode.
This is my first thread. If I'm leaving important info out please let me know. Enjoy your 5in tablet.
UPDATE!!!!
Thanks to @Tnsrua2000 for developing this. ---- http://www.mediafire.com/?x7ndy4p9yx4e7ly

Nice job so far. About the AOKP rom, I have it on my INTL device and I'm sorta getting semi tablet mode.
And what's the diff between 128 and 129 dpi? Will there be more tablet-like functions with 128 dpi? I have 129 right now and I'm getting some apps functioning with system UI intact.

I can't do the AOKP ROM it has too many bugs. And I didn't check with the 129 DPI? If you have the same amount of apps functioning I'll change it to 129 in the OP.

A friend if mine noticed that there wasn't a difference between 129 dpi and 128 dpi. I knew on 129 it didn't fc but didn't notice that it worked just as well as 128 I was going to direct you to a thread this guy gave me instructions on how to mod the apex launcher so that when we get the bottom status bar it would look good. He modded it for the nexus but their dpi is set to 192. And I'm not good enough at dev'ing to mod it. So can you take a look and give it a shot?

[EDIT] here's what he told me
jay,
couldn't do it blind anyway, hacking smali was more like trial and error. i sat one night and adb-pushed countless of times to see if changes were reflected or not. you'll be better off grabbing apktool (1-2 pages before you'll find a working version), learning dalvik-opcode basics and just hack it.
what i did was:
1. find everything that contains "density" and hardcode it. you'll be looking out for displaymetrics api's. density is a float, look up the manual and calculate it. make sure you encode it properly, use an IEEE 754 converter. denditydpi is an int which can be either 160, 240 or 320. scaleddensity, same as density.
2. half of the app drawer will be wasted. i had to kill a switch somehere to help it, but i dont find it because i trashed the rewritten smali by accident and my comments are gone. i studied the original launcher2 java code to find it. not so important for now.
3. you'll get the dock back by changing launcher.xml in the res files. take the original one and copy it over the one in the dpi600 folder. port and landscape need different implementations.
4. all the relevant sizes and styles were in dpi600.
im sorry it's such a mess. a real dev would have written down the pieces of code to change but im a newb and that's all that i can offer you.

Well that helps :sarcasm: Tablet mode doesn't trigger just by changing the DPI. The systemui.apk fc's on boot. Unless your on AOKP. I'd use that ROM but it isn't available for the US YP-G70....

It will work fine unless you chose a lockscreen that you don't have coding for, then you've just bought a ticket to bootloop city

can you elaborate on that? I flashed the LEGEND X theme and I got in a boot loop. i had the puzzle lockscreen on before the flash
I have no idea how to check for this before hand but say if you were on the puzzle lockscreen and then you flash a theme that edits some .xmls then you might have a situation where the lockscreen is looking for an .xml that doesn't work it anymore (or maybe is completely missing) and BAM your phones figurative brain explodes and sends you into bootloops. That's my understanding anyways so anybody feel free to correct me.

I think everyone that tries one needs to report back if everything worked or not and we need to start a list of which ones actually work for us.
I would use the standard android lockscreen since its in pretty much all themes and roms. To avoid possible bootloops or worse.

the screen quality on my tp when using webos is better then when using cm7. is there a way to fix it? thanks
Depends on which one you're using. WebOS looked horrid for me.
It's cause the current CM7 port is running a lower res than the Native webOS resolution.

I too felt webOS looked better than CM7. I was using 160 and 140 for LCD density. Then I upped it to 169 and it looks much better to me, also i installed the ICS roboto font and that looks much better than the stock g-bread font. Also for some reason when i went the other way and took LCD up to 169 suddenly I could get a few more apps in the market that seemed to be missing before (I remember early on with my Nook Color the LCD density affected the market as well).
Also there is a market app "hp touchpad wallpaper applier" that lets you use high res wallpaper in CM7 which looks much better.
Won't it simply be because cm7/gingerbread wasn't meant to run on anything bigger than 7"screen?

Thought I'd post this for fun for anyone trying to get the mini tablet experience. Its not perfect but its very usable.
Known bugs
- No notification bar (dies with SytemUI)
Use any of the ICS releases floating around the forums.
Install Go launcher EX as your launcher.
Use Go Launcher as your default home option.
Set home screen grid columns to 6 and rows to 7.
Change your build.prop DPI settings to 210 (Rom Toolbox app does this nicely).
Reboot.
On reboot systemUI will crap out, just let it die twice and then it will go away.
Install the Switches widget in for Go Launcher to add settings shortcuts for your wifi, GPS, screen etc (this will act as a replacement for not having them in notification bar)
Change your Icon and Font sizes in Go Launcher if you want them bigger
Like I say far from perfect but very usable and you can enjoy the goodness of tablet apps and views on your note.
Piccies attached.
If you want a solid solution for running apps at their own custom DPI without having to mess around with your systems default DPI then take a look at this bounty thread and offer your support...

No that is what will happen, you are maximising the use of your super high resolution on this device. In Go Launcher you can change the font size for your labels to make them bigger.
System UI will crash repeatedly, each time the OS tries to use it.
I would say that makes tablet mode unusable at this point, but tantalizingly just out of reach.

That's what I thought too, but as I am using third party everything it doesn't seem to be an issue so far. At least it's something to play with until one of the genius devs finds a native way to support this properly.

I know I can use Nova or Apex and have in the past, but there's things about them I don't care for. I've searched threads, but it took me 2 days to get my phone back to this state and I don't want to mess it up again.
Can anyone advise me what rom I should use that is closest to the stock one I have now, that will allow me to show 5 columns of icons?
