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.

Hi, long time lurker, new poster.
I couldn't find any info on the G-tab forums on this, so I figured I would ask:
I am just wondering if any of the devs have considered tweaking their Froyo ROMs to replicate the bottom status bar tweak found in CM7. There are a few Froyo ROM's over on the Nook Color forums where this has been implemented (i.e. Nookie-Comb or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214).
It seems like a mod like this would include the best of both worlds; smooth flash and the bottom status bar tweak similar to CM7. Just curious if it has ever been considered? If a Froyo ROM implemented this, I would probably hop back on that because of the speed and smoothness, but honestly I'm jonesin for the tablet tweaks in CM7 (mainly, bottom status bar), making my ROM of choice a GB ROM with choppy flash.
Any thoughts? Please correct me if I'm out to lunch.
try downloading the new VTL Launcher by GoJimi...its pretty nice

I agree! I did ask this in the Vegan thread and have received no response on it yet.
rbansal2 - I already use VTL Launcher and it is great but I like the CM status bar along with it.
VTL makes for a better tablet experience that's for sure.
Having bottom status bar in Caulkin's ROM would be mighty fine though.
VTL + button savior is a good alternative for the time being..
i read that the status bar at the bottom causes issues with the keyboard. Thats why they dont do it.
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
i know i had something like this for my HTC H2 it was CM7 Typhoon rom. but is there any chance of making a status bar at the bottom of the screen like tablets for my GP USA 5.0?

Just flash this. It is a bit buggy though but you get the full tablet UI as some apps also change to tablet mode.
I really like the on screen customization of the Nexus on screen nav buttons, has there been any talk of a ROM implementing this?

I'm pretty sure Romans aokp can do this on the Samsung captavate so id guess when he gets it working for us that rom will have it, but mod for stock rom I doubt it ..
We're going to experiment with it in our Warm ROM.
Some details on the implementation are available here if you want to give it a shot.
I know that this looks like it has been asked a dozen times, but I assure you that I have looked high and low and have installed literally 10 or so keyboards trying to compare features.
Here's what I am looking for (if it's possible):
Looking for a port of the keyboard that comes with AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1 or later. I know that there are tons of Jellybean keyboards out there and they even have gesture typing, but the one that comes with AOKP has the long press alternate keys exactly where I want them as well as the right selection.
I have tried the Google Keyboard from the Play Store and it doesn't have the long press alternates (aside for a select few that aren't labled).
Does anyone know how I can get this keyboard to work on my Note II? I have even gone so far as to extract it from an AOKP ROM and it loads fine, however the gesture typing does not work (just shows the gesture trail but doesn't type anything)
Is this at all possible? Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

If AOKP is like the other AOSP Roms then the keyboard is the Google keyboard, unless they are using the older AOSP keyboard which is the same thing with a different name. AOKP may just use a different one but I doubt that.
Have you tweaked with the settings in the keyboard once installed to make sure the gesture trail is turned on?
You might get more help in the Themes section seeing how they deal with a lot of keyboards and mods for keyboards.

I tried everything. Gesture trail is turned on. The keyboard version is 4.2.2. Not really sure what else to do. Seems like maybe a lib file is missing or something.
