Well I got myself an Epic 4G (OG) with AOKP/CM7/CM9 and a Chinese ICS tablet (I am a Chinese high school student myself...) so I'm easily fascinated by the tablet UI of ICS. Apart from that, once I testdrived CM7 on my tablet and the Honeycomb-style softkey really enlightened me...
So today I was wandering the net and came up with this:
rootzw i ki. com/topi c/20451-mod -9-roms-table t-mode/ [REMOVE SPACES - THE FORUM WON'T LET ME PUT LINKS...]
Well, there's support for tablet UI mod for 9 different ICS roms inside for Galaxy Nexus...
But then look at the version required - it seems that the packs are not just modded for a specific phone, a specific ROM but also for a specific version... So it's kinda useless to me... Tried more search and returned no more results except that someone mentioned that some mods could be done in /res/values/bools.xml of framework-res.apk (I'm no total noob and I know how)...
So question is, is there really a way as detailed as modding DPIs and framework-res.apk to enable tablet mode on ICS? To make it further, is it available for Gingerbread?(i.e. putting FULL CM7 Tablet Tweaks on ALL phones without compiling a new ROM) And for tablets, any way to disable tablet UI as well? (My tablet HAS capacitive keys designed for portrait use like a Galaxy Tab P1000 so I would like to disable Tablet UI for it)
EDIT: Modding DPI only doesn't seem to do it at least on my tablet - DPI from 120 to 240 but results are only bigger nav bar and buttons...
Bump... sinks so fast

Has anyone tried this on the Atrix yet? How is it? Is the autocorrect still the same as the original keyboard?
here's a thread with a GB-kB that you can install alongside the stock keyboard, and it has the autocorrect fixed to work like the original.

installed the gbkb-en.apk on mine and it works but because of the higher resolution the keys look a little small for my liking
Is it possible to our mini pro cellphones? I badly want it, but I cant find. Anyway if its not possible, congrats to the hard working developers here
I honestly cannot see the point of this. As said a 100 times before honeycomb is designed for widescreen tablets and makes use of special hardware accelleration... both features which the X10 mini pro simply dosen't have.
All cons and no pros.
The project would be a waste of time.
HoneyComb does not work, screen is blured and does not work touchscren.
What is the point of using HoneyComb on our itsy bitsy little screens? If your talking about a 5" and above tablet, I would understand. But on a 2.55" screen? At any rate, most honeycomb apps are designed for tablets, so even if you have a usable port of honeycomb, it'd be pretty useless without the apps.
ruifung in honeycomb framework found folder drawable-ldpi, LDPI - 240x320.
It is compatible with our screen but not the necessary libraries to run the Android 3.0.
For x10 mini. bad work!

I read that if the device which is running Honeycomb drops below a certain DPI it automatically switches to a gingerbread theme mode.

Hello all,
I just wanted to share with you, that my Original Samsung Keyboard Dock is not working with Cyanogenmod 9 from the Development Section here.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Will it ever work with Cyanogenmod?
So far I am very very impressed with Speed and Stability of the latest CM9 Version by locerra.
Hopefully someone can chime in on the Keyboard Dock Situation...
Thanks again all for making such an incredible Community.
Cheers
qwertz
Doesn't work for me too
Did you ever find a solution for this OP?
I was loving CM10 since its first release, but just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom last night as i wanted to use the dock keyboard
Thinking of selling it now nad just getting a bluetooth one
just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom

Same thing for me on SGT-P7510 on sammobile.com
Swiftkey app is a little compatible with external keyboards.
Something like this : go into the settings of the keyboard swiftkey app, validate the Terms od use choose English (US), define Swiftkey as the default input, and therefore in its parameters, go to Advanced > then choose External Keyboard Layout > English and it's good !
Or save the Samsung Keyboard .apk on ICS Stock ROM and bring the application on CM10. Maybe it could work
This is a known limitation of cyanogenmod.
have you read of any hacks / alternate soft keyboards that can get it to work?
The stock ICS rom is so limiting (and to me seems slow) compared to the JB rom (CM10)
i recall having to enable the dock option in the cm settings for my xoom, perhaps the same is true for the gtab?
in Paranoid rom working of keyboard doc should be fixed. I dont have one to test, unfortunately
here is link to changelog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838391
Works with the latest CM10 build too (the modified one recently uploaded):
Should work in the latest "official" rom too.

Only had a really quick look online and couldn't find anything for the Atrix 4G, (the reason why I am asking here.)
In CM7 there is an option for Tablet Tweaks. In there you can place the status bar at the bottom of the screen. The problem is it only does that, it doesn't add the Navigation Buttons.
Adding the Navigation Buttons to CM7 is possible as the feature is in CM7.2 Nook Tablet Build. This feature would be really handy for people that own the Lapdock.
At the moment its a bit of a nightmare moving around the menus etc. while using CM7 with a lapdock without the Navigation Buttons.
I was hoping someone has already had ago at this and could share what they did.
I have been setting up the Atrix 4G as a HTPC/Retro gaming device with the lapdock. CM7 is perfect for this apart from this small issue.

You may install one of the Paranoid Android builds, you can find these tweaks in there (tablet mode, phablet mode, hybrid...)

I kinda need to use CM7 for the 3D hardware. The phone is pretty much dead now as we are not going to be getting ICS. So I decided to turn it into a HTPC/Retro gaming device.
Problem is if I use the Paranoid Android builds things like Netflix, Onlive and Splashtop won't work. So for my little project I need to use CM7 as it is fully supported with the HW.
Hello,
Recently I bought Xperia Z Ultra to carry one device instead of two (Nexus 7 and Samsung S III Mini). Unfortunately I didn't know about different layouts and I didn't check before in which mode Z Ultra works. I though that application check resolution and shows its best. Now I know that it works in phone layout. I read also that after rooting I can switch to tablet layout. So my questions are:
1. Is it make a sense to root my Xperia and switch layout? If yes should I choose tablet or phablet layout? Is there any phablet layout for Z Ultra?
2. What's the difference between Phone, phablet and Tablet layout?
3. How many applications are written in double (triple) layouts?
4. Is it any difference in these layout for e.g. Angry Birds (all games), Amazon Kindle, Chrome, Flipboard, Google Maps, Pocket? Could anyone send me some pictures if there are differences? (I already sold Nexus 7 so I can't compare)
best regards,
1. If you want to, sure. It's nice to have tablet layout.
2. You already know how the phone layout looks like. It's dense so the UI elements fit properly on small screens. Phablet layout is what you see on the Nexus 7 and newer tablets that run KitKat. Google removed the tablet system UI layout in KitKat, but apps still run like they've always done. So there are two official layouts. Phone (Nexus 5) and "Phablet" (Nexus 7). The Z Ultra actually runs a strange mix of that. Pocket runs in tablet mode out of the box on the Ultra.
3. I don't know what this means.
4. Games won't have a different layout. Chrome, Flipboard, Maps and Pocket will. Note that it's the devs responsibility to support tablet layout, so don't really expect every app out there to support it.
I could take some screenshots of some apps in tablet mode, but I'm currently running the GPe ROM (KitKat) and I'm running it at 400 DPI, i.e phone UI.

Thank you for so good answer. Thanks
Unfortunately, Kikat does not support layouts anymore. Even if you lower the density to 100 it does not switch to tablet layout like it used to.

Correct, but you will at one point get the "phablet" statusbar (split notification/quick settings) and the split Settings and other minor changes when you lower the DPI to a certain point (192 I think, but I don't really remember). But yeah, the old tablet UI is gone in KitKat.
Note that the 192 DPI detail above is something that I have only tested on AOSP ROMs and not on Sony ROMs, so I don't know if or how a stock ROM will react to a change like this.
