On recently updating the mad catz m.o.j.o to the 202 firmware which thanks to users here i managed to read about in a forum post and update it,i have stumbled on something intersting wether or not it is simply a screensaver is unknown or does it maybe hold a way to go up to another firmware with key presses?
Here it is:Go to settings then to about m.o.j.o then hang over the android version 4.2.2 words with the mouse cursor and press on it repeatedly until a jelly bean appears,then hold click on the jelly bean and voila a screensaver appears full of floating jelly beans all over the screen which you can interact with tossing them around and off screen,they will reappear,i haven't looked at this firmware yet so maybe it is just the standard screensaver they might have aded in sleep mode?
But it's interesting it is there via using the method mentioned above,i assume it is something i have found?

Interesting, nearly the same as:
<Mojo> Settings -> About M.O.J.O. --> Build number ==> click 8 times, Developer options will appear in Settings
I don't think there's much there, I think it's just androids secret shortcuts.. but nothing really important would be there.

It does beg the question though can anyone find any more of these secret shortcuts and do any of them do anything special? eg.unlock a backup/restore/zip loading menu for the recovery menu i found prior,or anything in regards to secret menus within the os it self?
I mean if it can ota update the firmware i wonder if there is a hidden firmware mnu shortcut key combination inside the os?
Nice Easter Eggs! I recall the Developer egg...but forgot about that. Thanks for the memory refresh. The Jellybean screensaver is really cool!

Notifications got changed, you can now do a gesture to show more info (more emails etc) - search on youtube.
Blocking mode added, new homescreen modes (easy mode for noobs)
Projectbutter forces the system to run at 60FPS everywhere, removing/reducing lag.
Google Now, better than S-Voice AND SIRI (check youtube).
More free RAM (check Task Manager)
I just installed JB with CM10 and besides some aesthetic modifications, specially in the notifications bar, nothing changed from CM9 with ICS. I guess with Stock ROMs it must be pretty much the same. And CM10 was a bit laggy sometimes so, seen the lack of differences, I went back to ICS:
All the hype on XDA has been from overexcited noobs .
JB is an incremental update nothing more .

JB is more than an incremental update, check the Google IO 2012 video on youtube for complete changes.
CM10 is laggy because of missing HWCOMPOSER sources from samsung, that means project butter and GPU acceleration don't work on CM10 and ROMs not based on samsung builds.
Thanks for the replies .... I'll go check out youtube .

In the s3 notifications have no JB gestures. Project butter is only partly here, not as good as on the nexus. Google now is here, but seems to drain a lot of battery. Other features that are supposed to be in JB: Android beam doesn't work with gallery (which is probably where you want to use it) the gallery is the same as ics and has none of the new gestures, it isn't connected with camera like on true JB. The For now only nexus users know what real jellybean is! I miss my nexus... Touchwiz is quite different from vanilla android and not in any useful or particularly better way!

You're right, I forgot about the 2 finger part! Well, at least we got that, another thing that's missing that I didn't mention is the throw to delete gesture on the homescreen, but a third party launcher can easilly fix that.

so when i am on aokp or cm10, and i tick the "force GPU" setting, are you saying it doesn't work?
i'm on psycho aokp now and it's damn smooth to me, virtually no lags, unlike the prev aokp roms i've tried..
Just for kicks (and because the half phone/half tablet ui really bugs me, takes up too much space with bars on both the top and bottom of the screen), I went ahead and built a 'stock' JB 4.2 AOSP rom for the N10 with the tablet UI enabled (thanks to the N7 thread on XDA for the modification details!). (Check out the attached image!)
It seems to work well, and it's a very simple mod (though I've hardcoded it to test it out) Would be nice if some of the future custom roms could come with an option to choose the UI at some point!
Here's the link to modifying the source to enable the tablet UI for any of the dev's out there interested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780970
Awesome.
Awesome. I can't wait to get mine (ordered yesterday).
Can the navigation buttons be flipped?
Does editing the LCD density in /system/build.prop not work for 4.2?
Can't you go back to full tablet UI with the app drawer button at the top? The empty hot keys navigation area looks strange. Also, you mentioned custom roms making it an option...doesn't Paranoid Android already do that?

Didn't try. I'm not a fan of that since it breaks other apps, this doesn't chance the density, so at least everything that would run stock should still run.

The launcher doesn't appear to have the app drawer by default (at the top of the screen), but if I install something like NOVA launcher, you get what you're looking for.
Paranoid does apparently have options to choose the ui mode, but I haven't seen that ROM for the n10 yet. Got a link to it???

I thought I heard that Tablet UI (via DPI change) wasn't possible as of 4.2
SteveC485 said:

Yeah, simple changes to the order of buttons in the navigation_bar.xml file would change the order of those buttons.
As I mentioned, I'm just messing around with the AOSP code, and hope a 'real' rom will come out with the option to switch to tablet mode!

I don't think it's out for the N10 yet. Coming soon from what I read. I was just point out that the ability does exist in roms, it just needs to make it to the N10.
Hi guys
I know there are various AOKP ROMs that have enabled Expanded Desktop functionality... But I want to use it in standard CM10.
What tweaks have to be made to the rom to do this?

"Expanded Desktop" is available normally on Tablets and some other devices, it's normally an option available in the "Power Menu".
It appears in "Paranoid Android" ROM, and i know it is contained in standard CM10 builds.
Just figuring out how to enable, the option in the Power Menu..
I know in the CM10 forum people just say "Aaaah you dont need it"
but yes i WANT it..
and if it is a simple tweak as the code is already in there then i am happy to do this myself

It should be available on cm10 look in settings system power menu??? Some thing along that. Don't really know why you want its only really useful to nexus owners with on screen buttons

i just like it, adds a little bit more screen real estate to apps, Apex Launcher can only hide the status bar whilst you are in the launcher.
I know people say "oh it's only good for Nexus Owners" but is there any reason why i cant? Paranoid Android has it so why cant i?
Maybe i'll ask the question in the Paranoid Android Thread
You could try tasker it'll be able to hide the status bar in specific apps and I'm sure cm10 has it as its options double check the options

there is no option in CM10.. but i think the option switched off .. and is only selectable if you have a phone with no hardware keys, cant ask in the Paranoid Android thread as it is temporarily closed
So just started running paranoid android, and I really like it, but I'm used to a few settings I used to have when I ran Liquid Smooth, and was wondering whether it was possible to get them for Paranoid Rom for S3, for 3.99
They are:
1. Can I add a brightness bar to the top of the screen? in the Task manager area bit?
2. Can I add a settings button in the top of the screen, in the Task manager area bit?
3. Is it possible to get menu long press for kill app?
4. Is it possible to get shortcut stuff to wifi and things like that on the task manager bit? I think its called a power widget?
5. is it possible to turn on the thing where I can swype left and right on the bottom of the task manager bit to go in between the two take manager windows.
I apologise if these are pretty mundane questions, I've tried racking through the settings area many times, but I don't know if its just not possible, or if I'm completely missing the setting, or if its just some place that I didn't think of.
Cheers

If so I will definitely try there , I did try once before but unfortunately I got some message about needing a minimum of 10 posts to be able to post there . Now I have more then 10 though, so I think I can if its the page I'm thinking of

I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

I applied to the international version. Hasn't got a reply. But 2 weeks later got the OTA update.
I'm still on EMUI 9.1 because EMUI 10 ruined the speaker sound quality. How is it on EMUI 11?
Oh and the multi screen dock: does it let you launch all the apps you have in split screen or in a floating window, or only some approved apps?

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)
