Thanks to the works of DaGr8 and many others, we now have a working Tablet Mode for our Note.
DaGr8's Tablet Mode Rom
So, it turns out that many applications have a specific mode for tablets, that we miss out on because our phone is configured as a phone instead of as a tablet.
Here's what they are, and what they look like. Know of any more? Let me know and I'll update the OP.
Applications with a Tablet Mode:
YouTube
Gmail
Email
Settings
GTalk
Netflix
Play Store
ICS Browser+
Pattern Lock
Navigation
Kindle Reader
Pulse Reader
Google Reader
Google Drive
Know of any more? Let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Thank you for this. I haven't been able to get an answer on this but do you know if the all-dpi tablet mod will work on troposphere? I've asked around with no responses.
Thanks again for the post.

We're all more or less working off of the same leaked ICS build, so it may actually work. Of course it won't be supported, so you're on your own for glitches, FCs etc. Best bet would be to reboot to CWM and do a full backup, then apply the mod. Worst case scenario you reboot into CWM and restore. be sure and post back and let people know.

Wow, this post originally was to ask you about what you were expecting to see in tablet mode, but I eventually figured it out.
It allows article preview and reading from the main window, but only kicks in with a density of 160dpi or less.
Thanks!
Sorry, I meant that Pulse has a Tablet app (which I guess probably wasn't your question).

Some things I noticed on my phone without the tablet mode mod was that I could run Touchdown for Exchange in tablet mode, and when I first installed SPB 3d launcher it defaulted to tablet mode.
OK so I tried to flash the tablet mod over troposphere and it looked good but I kept getting contacts FC. I restored my nandtoid. But it looked very cool and I hope it works at some point.

Have you tried to copy over the Contacts.apk from the default Troposphere ROM after modding it? Also, have you tried to clean up the logprovider.apk data?

The Note default Contacts.apk crashes at the 213 density setting used to enable tablet mode. DaGr8 bundles his rom with a different one, or he's fixed it. I haven't looked into it yet.

Gestalt, I think I understood your explanation in the other thread, but I'm not sure which java files (or others) you're modifying to get each of these to run in tablet mode while the system itself stays at 320dpi (for example).
When you're done with each app, will these mods be something that is ROM-specific, or will it be flashable on any of our ICS roms?

You may have read some of my posts on here lately. Was trying to do this with troposphere. Couldn't get it. Ended up just just flashing dagr8s hybrid with tablet mod and have nit regretted it. As usual I am now having the best android experience I've had to date (and I've been in the game for over 2 years). Everything works. Its epic.

How can I make Google Reader go into tablet mode? I have it installed on DAGr8's ROM running at 213 DPI and everything else shows in the tablet interface except Google Reader. Anyone else notice this?
Yeah, there are a few applications that only go into tablet mode at lower than 213.
The following applications will display in tablet mode with a density of 160:
Google Reader
Pulse NewsReader
Google Drive

Running in tablet mode (213), have you figured out a way to run TapatalkPro at 320? How about the pattern lockscreen?

I have the Telus version (I717) and with any Launcher (Go, Pro, ADW) I get any standard WP to scroll (if you enable it properly in the Launcher). But I cannot get any Live WP to scroll?
I have been reading on this, and there is a lot of confusion, we need to be specific about wich Launcher and what type of WP (Live or Standard) and if standard your image have to be wider then 800 (preferably 1600).
So my understanding is the stock launcher (TouchWiz) does not have the scroll function, it needs to be added with an app or a launcher. I tested that Pro, Go and ADW sroll standard WP fine with the proper settings and image. But so far there is no way to have Live WP to scroll (for those Live WP that have that feature).
1. Can anyone confirm my understanding?
2. And tell me if there is any confirmation of where this limitation is comming from (hardware, OS, Carrier...)?
3. Also is there any other lead or thread about a potential solution?
thanks.

same for me, even with zeam. however i find the very narrow wp selector super annoying (assuming thats a TW issue) because on other phones the selector is easily twice as wide and doesn't blow up the pictures like crazy.

If you are rooted you can replace the selector with one from another phone

Sorry, are you saying that the the problem with the srolling of the regular wallpaper is the same as the problem with the srolling of the live wallpaper or that they are both problem?
I beleive that they are totally different problem and as such should not be discussed in the same thread.
So again, does anyone have any info around the problem with the Note not being able to scroll LWP when you swipe from a home screen page to another?

lol your post is so absurd.
Complete differentiation of scrolling wallpaper and live wallpaper saying they shouldnt be discussed together is like taking your car to a mechanic because of a steering problem and refusing to acknowledge anything other than the tire could be a problem, ignoring the wheel and the rest of the chassis.
To top it off as that mechanic works on a full solution you are sitting here sucking your thumb demanding to address the tire only.
Seriously you are so self entitled you should be ashamed. People have at least been trying to find a solution and testing and you haven't done anything but complain that one aspect of the greater problem isn't fixed yet.

I was able to get HBO GO for the Kindle Fire to work for the motorola Xoom. I was wondering it it will work for my fellow galaxy 10.1 tab owners. Check to see if it will work for you...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695913
While it appears to open without errors on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with CM9 I cannot login due to my provider Bright House Network missing from the listings. I know BH does participate since it works with the other HBO.apk (1.4) I was using prior to this (With the close and reopen trick), and my Samsung LED has HBO Go built in that I can use as well. Although this apk said I didn't have the Amazon app store installed before it fully opened. So for me yes, and no... Perhaps a more updated apk will work in my situation with all the providers listed. Or someone can hack the HBO 1.4 apk to not be so judgmental.....
Thank you
Works great for me on the WiFi running CM9.

Flight of the Concords FTW!!
Thank you so much. Now I can start the Wire without trying to struggle with their ****ty site through the browser.
I'm stock, unrooted and it works perfectly.
Now, I wonder what the chances of getting the Max Go app are too. I have all the movie stations on my FIOS TV, so I'd love to have more for the tab.

treyatl2006 said:
Edit:
I believe the reason why its working on my xoom is because I purchased the app already. So when it checks Amazon's servers to see if the App has been purchased, it shows that I have purchased the app and allows me to install.
1. First uninstall hbogo. (If already installed....)
2. Then open up the amazon app store. Type "Hbo go" in the search.
3. Scroll down to the HBO Go Kindle Fire Edition. Click on the "Free" Button as illustrated in the picture below (your button should say free instead of open).
This will allow you to purchase the app but it will not install. Its going to tell you its not compatible or something like that.
4. Then try to install the apk that was posted above and see will it work. Please post if it works or do not work for you.. Also post your tablet, rooted, unrooted, rom, 4g or wifi only and etc. This will help the dev community get it running on all android tablet devices.... Thanks

HBO Go works flawlessly on G Tab P7510. Here is what I did to get it to work.
1. Download apk from op.
2. Open web browser from GTab, go to Amazon and sign in.
3. Download HBO Go. (It will say not compatible with this device. Do you still want to download? YES, DL it.)
4. Install apk.

I was asked about this on the general forum CM10 thread, not my work at all but just want to share the original 200+ page thread for those of you not aware. There are many derivatives of this add-on, but out of 10+ similar add-on's I have tried this one works most flawlessly. Launcher is 4x4 but as a result it works perfectly with accuweather widget. Even our own Note 2 is ditching the extra column and I like the bigger icons showing more icon detail on this over having more icons on the same screen.
Unlike any other package I have tried, this add-on when flashed with CWM morphs the actual system UI and core apps like dialer/MMS into S3 touchwiz look. It is also based on the new Jelly Bean leak so has speed and fluidity advantages. Just download 1.3.3 (last item on the download section) from mrmad.net, flash, wipe cache/dalvik and enjoy! CWM is required unfortunately to morph the system applications, without it you will just get launcher, widget and miss the dialer/UI tweaks. I tested this with quincyatt CM10 M2 and it works perfectly, and should work with all CM10 based ROMS (Paranoid, AOKP, etc). It has everything you need, just works and there is no messing with RWXX permissions!
Like many of you, I find Galaxy S3's nature UX to be a huge selling point. Note 1's gingerbread UI screamed "cheap iPhone copycat", but S3's touchwiz UX was so good that I would have stayed stock if Samsung treated their customers right and gave me the same visual treatment when they gave us the ICS upgrade. I love the new accuweather widget and I find it much better than any of the sense-inspired widgets I have tried, and I love the way they made Android feel warm, natural and inviting.

No, this is just a launcher. From what I know, those other apps require TW framework and other Libraries that arent in AOSP ROMs. It's a launcher like Nova or ADW. Only affects the homescreen and app drawer

tried installing snotes... no go
there is a smemo app came with the launcher... but no pen support.
I have a great lust of alternative apps for snote and memo paid and free I don't miss touchwiz in that aspect just miss stable builds . But I rather have a ROM that plays my games at full fps than slow n sluggish

Was running this rom for a while. Does anyone know where to get the boot animation that the s3 comes with???

Its works fine must have fixed it.
And the s3 boot animation u can get from anywhere just use romtoolbox to stretch it to our resolution.

hey thanks man..
yea i had to try a few more searches but i got it!
:good:
SOLVED by Google http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...el-on-tablets-and-more-apk-download/#download
Thanks man. I wanted this so bad but when I tried the one from the nexus 5 it was all messed up. I'll test this out and respond. But is the battery life OK with the launcher or does the always on Google now listening cause it to waste faster?
Battery life isn't affected for as far as I've noticed. Are you testing on Nexus 10 or on another tablet? Hope it'll work out for you

It seems Google has updated the search app and thereby the basis of the GEL. I'm going to test it on 4.4 perhaps they've made the right adjustments themselves!

I tried it and no it still has the uncentered issue and all messed up. The drawer has way too many icons. I think you still need a nodded version with kitkat

Is anyone else getting graphical glitches with GEL when you try to swipe from the last homescreen, and the white box appears? I get odd flickering on mine. I also noticed it's more visible with larger sized wallpapers, the stock ones doesn't have the problem that badly.
The stock 4.4 launcher doesn't have this problem, or Nova/Apex:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is also with the most recent Google Search apk.
This launcher is absolutely horrible, it lags like hell. I'm running the fixed one, with updated Google search. App drawer open/close animation lags, swiping to google now lags, swiping app drawer pages is slow and i bet it has low framerates as well. Absolutely horrible!
I finally got 4.4 with the factory image.. Messed up 4.3 so much I could not get the OTA installed in any way. But now with the GEL only some slight trouble occurs when sliding into Google Now. Will test further tomorrow but everything else seem to working incredibly smooth for now.

Anyone having glitches when switching to a homescreen with widgets? I'm running stock KitKat
Nice to see I'm not the only one noticing glitches with GEL. I guess it's simply not ready yet for the N10. It runs fine on my friend's 2013 N7 but then again that has a similiar resolution to the N5.

I must say that the install of the KitKat factory image has resolved the horizontal lines glitching in widgets on GEL. Sliding into Google Now remains stuttering a bit, but I didn't encounter any other issues yet. If it is not too much of a trouble I would recommend flashing the KitKat factory image..

I already flash the kitkat factory image. I guess it's because of the resolution

This is weird. I installed the launcher from Android Police (following a link from the link in the first post) and while it's working great (no glitches, no hitches, no lag, perfectly smooth), I'm also missing the transparent notification bar and softkeys... You guys all seem to have transparency and with it sub-par performance. Am I missing something or is there something weird going on?

Transparent notification bar and softkeys are disabled on the Nexus 10 by default. If you want to enable them, read this thread - enable transparency (mod)

Ah, so I have to both install the launcher and get that mod. Got it, thanks!
