Hello, I've today tried to lower the DPI to switch into tablet mode... with success, most apps (with exception of some xperia - only apps) works well, but the homescreen does not... the thing is that i would like to find some homescreen replacement intended for tablets (such as default Samsung Galaxy Tab homescreen) that would work on xperia... any suggestions?
Apex launcher has a tablet layout that works fine on my Xperia s.

I downloaded and installed keyboard from this thread . Its from galaxy note 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964814
That keyboard is with gesture typing ( sth like swype) . I cant make gesture working on my sony tablet s. Any ideas how to have it fully worked? Conventional input is good but sometimes keyboard closes/hiddens. I also tried to install stock keyboard from xperia arc s 4.0.3 but it fc.
No issues getting the swype gestures to work here on my Xperiat Tablet S. Works well, but not as visually appealing as the default keyboard.
Add gesture typing works after I changed keyboard language from auto/system to eg. English usa. Could you confirm that in your device ?
This keyboard has issues to fix. When I want to type word letter by letter keyboard closes/minimalises and to continue l must click on write area once or twice to having keyboard. After typing one or two letters keyboard dissapears . This repeats again and again.
Maybe jelly bean keyboard extracted from similar device should work better (xoom).
Any suggestions/improvements/attachments ?
I remember using the proper port and it worked fully until a few seconds and then it really played up, really nice though.

It is so ugly to SONY's
In case of xperia tablet jelly bean update. Could someone upload new xperia keyboard with file libjni_latinime.so ( located in system/lib ) or with similar name from this location. Let see if this will work on sony tablet s ( 1gen).Maybe this will fix self minimalises keyboard problems . Please give a world do you have gesture typing or swype option after xperia jelly bean update.
Default keybored hasd no up and down arrow keys I find this a little frustarting
rooted lighting wildfire on unoffical j.b from benni
and sony XTS rooted stock j.b thanks djrbliss
Does the latest firmware update for the xperia tablet s have gesture (swype) input for the stock keyboard?
I am about to buy an xperia tablet s, but really require this feature, I have used other keyboards from the play store, but none of them came close to te stock keyboard on my xperia t phone.
Without gesture input I know I will struggle.
Thanks
Nope, you have to use Google Keyboard.

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.

Doesn't work. I've tested few months ago.

Hi,
I am great fan of Sicksky launcher. I used it on many devices, including my former Xperia Z ultra.
Now with my Xperia Z2 I got problems for the first time. It is not possible to update the weather informations for the weather panel. I only see the NO DATA message.
Has someone Sicksky Launcher full working on his Xperia Z2? Who knows the trick to get the weather data updates?
Unfortunately Michael Bentz seems not longer to work on this project.
Kind regards
Joern

I received my Galaxy Tab S7+ and much to my dismay - Galaxy Themes doesn't work. Hell, it doesn't even exist on our tablets. I did not know this prior to purchasing the tablet.
I have grown very fond of using Hex themes to modify my OneUI to have AOSP icons and what not on my Samsung phones and was hoping to do the same to my Tab S7+. When I download the actual .apk file from Sammobile and installed it, I pretty much got nowhere as when I click on the app it just takes me to the apps permissions.
Now, I had no real intention of rooting this tablet as I just didn't need to, but this would legitimately qualify as a reason to obtain root. Thus, my question being - is it possible to somehow install Samsung's Galaxy Themes app and have it work via root? Has anyone had success in somehow theming their Samsung tablet?
I'm loving the tablet, but absolutely despise the boring blue theme and certain aspects of the notification shade that I change with hex themes/galaxy themes.
Cheers!
I use the Nova Launcher instead. So I can use the icon set of my choice.
I'll believe, that root doesn't help in this case

It's not the stock launcher icons that bother me, oddly enough, it's the quick setting icons, quick settings colour, notification divider, etc. things that can't be changed with a launcher.
I tried using the app named One Shade by TreyDev but there are bugs so its none too enjoyable.
I am no expert, but rooting will not help. You need to have a Galaxy phone ROM ported over that supports theming. I own the Note Pro 12.2 LTE and I am running the ported Note 7 ROM with theme support and I am loving it. Relax, it is a new device and someone will surely port a ROM over that supports theming.
Use Goodlock to change things like the quick settings.

In developer options, you can change icon shape and quick setting accent color.
