Hi everyone,
I need some help with the YouTube app because for the life of me, I cannot get it to go into tablet UI.
I am using the AOKP ROM: [ROM]LF6/AOKP/PA[July16th] |KING-KANG| 'Chasing Unicorn's Swagger'
What I've tried:
The phone's general UI is default and I believe that is in Phone mode. My approach is to change each app to tablet UI individually so I pick which ones stay in phone interface and which ones are in tablet.
I go into Paranoid Settings > List of apps > Youtube
I change the UI to Tablet; DPI to Tablet. I've tried Force Scaling on and Force Scaling off.
I clear the data for the app in System > Apps
When I launch YouTube, I get a more spacious Phone UI. I want the 3D thumbnail wall UI for YouTube that I had when I had a tablet.
Has anyone else found a solution for this?
Thank you in advance
I forgot to add that I have the Galaxy Note SGHi717. (AT&T)

Thought I would start this thread for those who have had problems after the latest upgrade.
I had to do a full wipe and thought that had fixed my problems. Then they returned.
I finally decided to try a different launcher.
I was using Launcher pro and was getting sluggish response and lots of force closes. My battery was weird and not charging right, Battery drained after leaving it on Lock-screen. it was not responding after trying to unlock it and forcing me to reboot. All kinds of issues.
I changed to ADW.Launcher and it works much better. Everything i described went away.. odd huh...
I am not sure what the issue was, but I was using the Facebook widget, Beautiful Home Weather, and the Calender Widget in Launcher Pro. No idea if this was my problem...
Anyone else have any nice workarounds? Similar issues?

Odd
My results were kinda opposite after the upgrade (Full Wipe Also). Prior to the .71 udpate I was using GoLauncher (Great Launcher by the way) to increase performance. After the .71 update I've found that ADW, Launcher Pro and GoLauncher slow down the OS and rotation quite a bit.....
i've been using Zeam Launcher since update and i'm definitely in love with it. Very fast and stable and definitely very minimalistic the way i like.
Launcher pro Options
I actually went back to launcher Pro because I doscovered a few options that completely changed my overall experience. I used Zeam as well, but after finding out these options in Launcher Pro it is now snappier than when I tried out Zeam. Let me explain a few things that might bring you running back to my new experience and rediscovery of my Archos.
First of all I am running 7 Widgets on my front page (Pandora, Deezer, Beautiful Home Weather, TV Switch widget, CPU monitor, Google Search (Non Voice), and the default Music Widget) I also have the Wifi, BT, and Accelrometer On/Off widget from beautiful as well. So, needless to say, I was having issue loading this Home page with any launcher.
At first I had my screen doing 8x8, I switched to a 6x6 and saw some results, but not enough. then I did the following, and each step got faster and snappier.
Launcher Pro --> Preferences
general Settings:
1. Keep in memory - Check this!
2. Enable Scroll Widgets - Check This if you use them (and I do i.e. Facebook and People widget and calender widget with launcher pro)
3. Motorola Droid Hack - I have seen no difference either way with this.
Home Screen Settings:
1. Enable Virtual Looping - Love this CHECK!
2. Number of columns - I chose 6 (was having issues with 8)
3. Number of Rows - I Chose 6 (issues with 8 again)
4. Auto-fit item - Check this or it will look wierd when you change landscap/Portrait
Dock Settings:
Purely up to you
behavoir:
1. Auto Rotation - It will be easier if you didn't do this, but I just check this and use the widget to prevent it from flipping when i dont want it (i.e. when you showing someone how cool your archos is)
Apperance:
Up to You
Advanced Settings (Important):
MEMORY USAGE SETTINGS (this is the one I never looked at and am glad i did)
1. I set the preset to "HIGH" this seemed to not affect my memory or anything bad, but changed in speed is noticable)
2. Use Home screen chaches - YES!
3. Home screen Cache type - NORMAL!
4. Builds cache as needed - I chose NO on this, I would rather it keep my homescreen in memory so it doesnt have to build it each time I go through it
5. Clear cache on exit - NO, this Archos is powerful and has room to keep your homescreen in memory, I have had no memory issues as of yet.
6. Pervent Force Closes - YES! (Why the F not)
Advanced (The rest of the settings)
1. i would uncheck "High Quality Scrolling" it reduces performance
2. Same with 3D drawer, Uncheck this if you want, I hardly even scroll though my apps cause the screen is so big..
I hope this help you or anyone who needed some clarification on these things.
After changing my setting to reflect this, I have no more crazy issues with the Archos 101, and after they get the new updates out, i might even be able to scale back these setting. I am now having better experience than I did even using Zeam!!!
thanks,
JW
I recently installed CM7 on my touchpad, and I had a few questions for those using android. I have an android phone so I'm pretty familiar, but many applications are not optimized for tablets, landscape or just the resolution. What are some tips or suggestions you all have.
1. Laucher : using go right now, but I'm not liking it too much. Most launchers don't play well with the horizontal orientation, or the bottom taskbar.
2. Phone calling: I would love to be able to make calls though google voice or something. I like gmail calling on my computer, but I'm not sure that will work. I have skype but would like something free. I use ooma at home but their app is expensive and has bad reviews.
3. Weather: I already have enough trouble finding a weather app for my phone, but most don't seem to work in landscape.
4. Market : there seems to be a lot of incompatible apps, even amazon mobile. I tried the market fix but no luck.
5. Keyboard : I'm using SwiftKey x tablet right now and love it, but woud like to hear other people's suggestions.
Thanks,
-Keith
Thumb keyboard is outstanding. Was free app of day from Amazon a while back

Launcher - I have tried them all and I always come back to the stock ADW that comes with CM7 because it is the most configurable and generally works well in landscape mode. I also use the ICS theme to get the buttons and status bar more to my liking.
Phone Calling - CM7 is still in Alpha so some stuff still does not work.
Weather - Don't know what you are looking for in a Weather app or widget but I use the 3D Digital Weather Clock for local weather (tap on the Sun/Moon to get the 5 day forecast). There are a ton of things out there.
Market - I guess I haven't had a problem with anything that I have needed or wanted. You could try programs like LCD Resolution or LCD Density and change it to 200 to see if more stuff shows up in the market for you.
Keyboard - Thumb is great.
market 3.3.11 works just fine for me
i have used D4rom in tablet mode....only youtube app looks better in that mode. each and every apps are more compacted in size and with very small unreadable text....i want only some apps to run in tablet mode instead of running whole ui .is that possible...
yeah i know that changing the dpi to 120 will automatically converts evrythng into tablet mode......
but what i want is only some good looking apps on tablet like youtube,contacts etc
..
please dont trash this thread.....
Is there a way to force phone mode ?, currently I am using Talkatone and it defaults the interface to Tablet mode, and I would like to use Phone mode, Talkatone support told me the app with get the mode from Android, is there a way to change that behavior?, thanks
NOTE: What's the Android default mode with the Xperia Z Ultra, Tablet or Phone?
The default mode is Phone mode. Screen is easy with Tablet mode as well. But unfortunately Sony has not given any option to choose between Phone and Tablet modes.
But I am using an App called ROTATE available on Play Store, where I can force the mode to LANDSCAPE(tablet) OR VERTICAL(Phone). It is working perfectly for me as it seems Sony has worked hard on UI to provide compatability on all the Apps in both Modes.
NOTE:-
There are other apps as well on Play Store doing same job. Just search for Word: Screen Orientation.

Even though I am on PORTRAIT mode the app still thinks the device is a Tablet and show the Tablet layout
I think sometime its depend on apps.
Most apps has many layouts and they mostly depend on system dpi but there may be another factors too.
Portrait or Landscape have nothing to do with Phone or Tablet layout.
Edit: to answer your initial questions.
Z Ultra runs in Phone mode.
You can change system and/or apps layout by using custom rom such as Paranoid Android or PAC Rom or using Xposed app setting.
Hi,
it's phone mode but when rooted we will have the key to set it as tablet (default).

I really hope that will be the case..I'd load it with paranoid android straight away as I have an obsession with apps in the tablet mode. Do you guys think that progressively there might be a solution for having a custom ROM on Xperia Ultra and keeping the X-reality engine at the same time? Thanks!
On android, true tablet UI (no dock tab and menu icon on top right corner) or phone UI depend on the DPI of your device. You have ROM like paranoid that give you to some extend the possibility to emulate a tablet UI or phone UI, but never give you a true of each. So only 2 way are to change DPI. First of the whole system (can make apps compatibility troubleshoot and bad rendering) and second per app dpi. Both of those solution need root access and are not given to working at 100% as for some apps keep the UI look they set for your device and can't be change without modifying the apk itself.

Sure thing, this actually removing X-reality engine only on stock ROMs as for punish people who root the device. We can get JB on devices that don't have it in stock, we can get beats audio on devices that don't have it on stock, we can get bravia engine and even get playstation market access on other devices than sony. Things are that this phone only got released in some Asian country, need to wait international release and a couple of weeks or months then we'll be able to enjoy this device at the fullest. Patience.
Hi, i just bought a Chinese dash cam/rear view mirror on amazon, i think its made by phisung
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G994A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
it works well, but the android system is quite dated (4.0.4), and some of the setting are missing or dont work such as brightness adjustment.
so far i've rooted it using kingo and installed titanium and root explorer, and backed up the existing partitions using adb, but what i'm quite keen to do is modify the main launcher screen. at present i cant change the 7 apps on the main windows phone style launcher screen and I want to replace them with alternatives or replace the launcher.
I've sideloaded nova and a couple of other launchers, but whilst I can load them from the app draw, there is no option to set a new default launcher, and the home button always loads the pre-installed launcher, which is some chinese launcher listed as DX_launcher02 in the app draw and daxun.launcher.activity in system/ app folder, I've tried apps like launcher switcher, which have no effect on the default as the options is greyed out.
I've also tried freezing the built in launcher with Titanium, thinking it might then default to nova, but the home button( both hardware and soft buttons) then just loads a blank screen, so I used the recent app menu to go back to titanium and unfreeze the stock launcher.
I'm suspecting there might be a more complicated way to change the launcher, either by editing apk properties and changing the default app to point the shortcuts/tiles to new apps, or by setting a new default launcher, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated?
My friend bought exact same model.
He has problem with auto shutdown. Navigating or not - recording or not - there will be pop up that countdowns 10sec auto shutdown.
To abort shutdown - touch the screen. And of course - touching the screen doesn't help.
Have you found any solution for this?

Hi I do not know too much about this Android device, but I bought one (Crane_cvr) frm Tingway and it was full of Chinese software. Trying to delete it was not successful and loading Google Play was impossible. The sellers sent me an "new" h200-2.img file which I installed with Phoenixsuite. However, my functionality of the GPS disappeared. I have even connected another working GPS, to no prevail. Since it seems you have lot more knowledge, do you have an idea how I can get the GPS working? I have now been trying for 2 months. GPS Toolbox / Test / etc .. do not pick up any satellites, but it seems the GPS is detected.
Thanks in advance
