If you're running the latest ICS nightly (since 2012-02-02, I think) and use Evernote, you've probably noticed that it not longer displays the tablet UI.
For some reason, the Evernote app calculates width of the screen is 4.xxxx instead of the 7.xxxx required for displaying the tablet UI.
I've modified the APK to ignore the calculation so that the app displays the tablet UI.
I hope you like it.
com.evernote-2.apk
UPDATE: Some people have asked me to look at the Kindle app too.
Looking into it, but it is a little more complex ...
If you already have Evernote, you'll need to uninstall it before trying to install this one.
Tip:
Copy this to /system/app to ensure you'll never lose it ...
That way if you update the app thru the market and lose the tablet UI you can uninstall updates

No problem; glad I could help!

Hey, cool! I read about this in your posts on the user thread. How did you do this? I don't know enough to diagnose it, but I would be interested in digging through a couple different apps in this manner.
Do you have access to the block of code you changed or are you dis-assembling this to make this work? This is a common problem across a few google apps as well (chrome, docs, etc) Just wondering if you had any insight into the root problem.
Yeah, that's why I want to know as well. I saw people asking you to take a look at the Kindle app over in the development thread, and I figure instead of buying us dinner you could just teach us how to fish, you know?
Yeah I disassembled the apk.
Essentially, I searched the decompiled files for the word "tablet" ... When I thought I found what I was looking for, I compared it against the logcat.

Hey guys (and probably gals too) I'm sorry I haven't posted anything yet ... Work's been kinda hectic ...it appears I have some time this weekend, so I'll look into the kindle app ... If I have time (if the kindle is easy), I'll look at aldiko too
Since I don't really use these apps .. screenshots would help, I realize they'd be doctored and/or annotated

Can this be done for Opera Mobile Browser also ? Love it !! Many thanks Kem - El !
this would be great. http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2011/12/07/aldiko-ebook-reader-app-updated-for-tablets/ The movie on this page shows what it would look like in tablet mode. When you install it on your nook you should be able to see the phone mode.
you can also download the apk from their own website: www.aldiko.com whithout the market.
FWIW the official Kindle app update that just showed up on my GN claims that it's fixed margins and spacing on tablets. I'm not near my Nook, but let us know if it works.

Yeah unfortunately it's not fixed on the Nook Color or the Touchpad.
I'll upload a picture of the Kindle app and describe the differences of tablet mode and phone mode on the Nook. I am very interested in having my NC as well as my TP displaying the Kindle app correctly for landscape mode. Without the split screen with two pages displayed in landscape mode, it's a long traverse to read a line across the entire length if the tablet. Lol
If you still have time to look into this, I would be very grateful. No worries either way.
Thanks for the Evernote fix!

It is fixed in CM9 on the nook color. I have tested it. The margins and line spacing is much improved. You still cannot adjust them, but it is very readable. Make sure you have the very latest version.

Hi leapinar,
I am on the latest version and the Kindle app is not in tablet mode at 160 dpi. I do see the changes you mentioned. However just to be clear, when you hold your Nook in landscape orientation does the screen split and have two side by side pages like an open book?
Edit: I disassembled the apk, but it is not clear at all to me what is triggering the tablet view/install. I tried a few edits and reassembled the apk and nadda.. At this point I am just blindly throwing darts..
Guys,
Sorry about disappearing ... I was out of town for work for a couple of days and busy on a new work project.
I've looked at the new version of the Kindle app, and yes the margins are better, but having the ability to adjust them like the phone would be ideal.
I'm looking at the code to see if I can just swap out the tablet reader view with the phone view, giving us the phone menu options.
A little slow going ...

Would just like to second this - the app is actually semi-unusable without it being switched because there's no way to access 'menu' (no hard button on the NC and no softbutton shows up in the app).
First off, how can I get rid of the little blue tab on the side with the icon shortcuts. I never use any of them. It would be great to be able to add my own app shortcuts to it but I could not figure out how. I am guessing that these are limited to only ones that are able to do the split screen feature.
Another question is, is there a program that can allow you to use your mouse and keyboard from your PC to control the phone, in a way that I have my phone next to the computer monitor, drag my mouse across over to the side, and the cursor appears on the android screen? Similar to Synergy (PC program)?
Is there a way to keep track of how much data you use over the 4g network? I don't want to go over my 2gigs a month.
I saw on a website that had "top 50 features of the Note2" that it has a feature where you can make the camera track your eyes, so that when you lay in bed, the screen does not rotate. Anyone know about this?
Also, I am pretty new to Android as this is my first smart phone ever. Is there a way to make google reader show pictures from blog artices, instead of having one app for slickdeals (iSlick) or another app for reading lifehacker articles? (Lifehacker unofficial)? I think I would use google reader if it showed pictures.
Has anyone started using Utter!? Seems like a great idea but I did not get very far with exploring it.
Sorry this is a big mess of random questions. Thank you for any input.
PS ~ I tried searching the android forum for how to control with pc mouse and keyboard but was unable to find something. I found AirDroid but i don't think that is what I am looking for.

Don't think this is possible the way you describe. They do offer a dock that allows you to plug in a USB keyboard/mouse to control the phone, but you can't have one mouse control both without unplugging it from one and plugging it in to the other.

You can't track JUST 4G usage, but you can track mobile data usage. Go in to Settings and then Data usage. You can even set an alert to warn you when you get close, and a limit that will disable mobile data after so much usage.

This is also in Settings, though under Display. What you're looking for is Smart Rotation. Smart Stay is also there and that keeps the screen on while you look at it.

Google Currents allows you to do news/feed reading. Not sure how it works, but it's listed as an option. Get it in the Play Store.

Hi -
Does anyone use the Citrix Receiver app on their Note 10.1? I have to use it for work, and I was wondering if people were successful in using the S-pen to edit documents, etc. It seems like the S-pen is great for the native Samsung apps, but using it as an input method, especially in citrix where the keyboard takes up half the screen, making it really hard to scroll and such.
Thanks!
I use citrix receiver on my note 10.1, but have never really tried to use the spen with it because my work applications don't call for it. My work is just mainly typing and clicking.
But it does work well.

Thanks for the reply. Do you run it with the native resolution, or do you have it set to some sort of magnification? Right now my screen is so tiny that it is hard to select things, such as to manipulate the cursor to select an email, etc., even if I am using the stylus. I tried changing the magnification settings in the Citrix Receiver app, but it doesn't seem to change anything when I connect to my remote desktop - everything is the teeny tiny size.
Also, how do you emulate the "shift" button to select more than one thing (e.g., deleting multiple items in outlook)?
I use the native resolution. I just pinch to zoom. I don't know how yours is set up, but mine has "apps" for the different programs I need to get into and the size can vary in the apps but I can just zoom in. I don't use it for outlook since my job also gives me a blackberry. Yes a blackberry lol

Don't knock the blackberry! I have a blackberry for work too (opted for the new Q10 over the iphone 5, insane, right? But I need that physical keyboard to deal with the volume of emails I have)
So when I log in using the Citrix receiver application, the "app" IS my desktop - there are no separate apps available for Word, Outlook, etc. Maybe that's the difference. I did change my setting to "optimize for high resolution" but all that does is give me a giant version of my desktop that I have to scroll around with my fingers.
Haha I just can't deal with blackberry. At this point in life I am just as fast with onscreen keyboard as the physical blackberry keyboard. We had the opportunity to get some S3's, but my boss opted for blackberry because he is an ios fanboy.
Back on topic, yeah mine seems to be set up a bit different with separate apps for the different programs we use.

I use Citrix for work. I have the screen set to static so the mouse point moves with my finger and then tap to click. This way I can pan the screen. As for the stylus, I use it sparingly. Mainly if I want to you the pen for touch instead of my finger, then I disable the onscreen mouse.
Are you using Xenapp or a web interface? I can log in, but I can't open any apps. The blue progress bar runs across the top, but nothing else. Wondering if it's A Note 10.1 2014 issue.

I've just received the Logitech keyboard/cover and noticed that the hotkeys for applications run the Android defaults, whether or not you've set another default. For example, I use the Habit Browser and if I click a link in a document it "always" uses the Habit browser, but if I use the Internet hotkey it opens the default Android browser.
Any ideas?

External keyboard helper pro. Use this and set a tasker profile using bluetooth state and secure setting plugin to make it auto switch to it as the input method when your keyboard connects. It allows you to completely configure your keyboard. It will take a little bit to figure out but its worth it.

External Keyboard Helper does not work with the wifi version (wish I knew why???) Is there a way to use Tasker (or some other program) to trick the tablet into launching the stock email program when the email key is pressed on the Logitech Pro (which defaults to launch Gmail)?
In this thread, you can complain about your own problems. Also, you can help other people so they stop griping. But really. Feel free to ask questions. Such as:
Does anybody else have issues when switching screens?
For example, on some launchers (occasionally even Asus', others including nova and apex) , the icon/sprites get smaller when undocking from the tablet.
Answer other people's questions if you know how.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using the XDA app
Dynamic display is in display settings that allows you to add apps to a list so the tablet can transition between phone and tablet mode without a popup message saying you need to restart the app. It's a compatibility list

Are most of the issues about Dynamic Display concerning when switching from phone mode to tablet mode and vice a versa? If so, I do not understand the emphasis this has gotten. It is rare I need an app to stay open when switching, I think because as the unit is being switched I am also in transition. Usually this means closing out an app, then undocking the phone, putting it in my pocket, and off I go.The apps I may use during the transition, the call and text apps, do seem to transfer well. The pop-up menu can be disabled. Apps seem to display well in both the phone and tablet mode when not switching.
I realize some users could find this problematic but the issue seems a bit overblown. I would think my experience of use would be the rule rather than the exception.
Your thoughts.

2 - with the picture in full screen I insert the phone in the tablet dock

I have to remove the phone from the dock and I get the android.ui error message on the screen.
I can't put the phone in with screen off, or device off or it will never display, very annoying and hopefully will be resolved by Asus.
Considering this is Asus's 5th or 6th gen of this device, you would tend to believe that they got the whole phone tablet dock errors
resolved. But I'm sure errors resurface when ever there is a new android os.
Has anyone else experience the same problems as me?

Mine does the same thing where the tablet will freeze up and then won't turn back on after the error messages. Then I get an unresponsive black screen. This is my 2nd unit as I exchanged one already for the same issue and Both do the same thing. I Don't know if it is a software or hardware issue. Some apps and widgets apparently don't play nice with the the padfone station.

It appears that you both have some huge problems. Many of my issues were resolved when getting Padfone Switcher and Padfone Controller. They are both results under "padfone" the search bar in the play store. (Sorry for lack of links)
You can control which launcher for the phone and the tab. I chose Nova for phone, Asus/Apex for tablet.
Tell me if your issues are still occurring (post configuring the apps, of course)
