I know that google removed the code for tablet ui from android 4.4, but is it really all that hard to create a custom rom that uses kitkat as a base and just integrates some of the old jb code for tablet ui? I really don't see why ti would be that hard, but it could be EXTREMELY useful on both large tablets and, actually, almost any phone for which the user wants to have more screen real-estate. Please tell me if this is possible!
I'd like to ask GT-P7500 developers if there are any chance to have MagazinUX interface like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782580 ?

Not from me. Porting stock samsung apps to aosp roms is not easy. Samsung customizes android with mountains and mountains and even more mountains of additions. For better or for worse is up for debate but I'd argue for worse :cyclops: The name "Lagwiz" doesn't come from nowhere :cyclops:
The samsung apps then reference these additions. Someone would need to find those additions, extract them, and stuff them in the samsung app apk. Basically, the samsung apps apk are not standalone installers. Someone would need to put the effort to add the missing extras to these apks. Now I haven't seen the magazine ux, but if you want a more 4.0 ics launcher without the ugly dock at the bottom try nova launcher or adw.
Samsung has discontinued this tablet after only 1 update from honeycomb to ics. Talk about poor 1st party support. Bulls**t that "there's too little ram" or "the hardware's not capable". KitKat runs smoothly and can actually use live wallpapers. I've never been able to use live wallpaper without severe lag even back in honeycomb.
And lastly, this is a question thread not a development thread.
Is there a way to ensure that my Android UI will display as expected across different phones ?
I have created app for Android with Eclipse but if I try to wide screen device it is looked bad.
And what app that can i use to design the UI? [the best as you know]
Sorry if my question too newbie
Thanks before
Is there a ROM that turns android to iOS?
Depends on your phone. There are some older phones that have full custom ROMs that make android act like iOS. You can do a little digging and see if there is one for your phone, but if not there a plethora of launchers for android that make most UI elements look like iOS.

MIUI /FuntouchOS etc etc..
Can anyone make PIE ROM which is look like samsung one ui or sony xperia ui with their media apps like music, gallary, and some of their best features or any different look.
Because early days some dev make that type of roms but now days no one make that type of rom and I just bored of same look of every rom
Lol??
Not many innovations had happened in custom ROMs scene for a long time in terms of UI/UX design and overall development is more or less dedicated on porting existing "features". And I doubt that's going to change, since you need people who are capable of not just developing applications, but also who have knowledge of human interaction and design to create something different/new. No one would provide these type of skills for a free of charge, since these are more creative and not just simply technical. So demand of people with said skills are insanely high in the job market. That said there is enough opportunities for them to express themselves out there for a good pay. Not to mention it's not a job for one person but a dedicated team.
So the best that you can expect is ports of said apps and ROMs. And I'm not completely sure, if these specific ROMs that you have mentioned are ported, but I'm certain that you can find quite a few of them from a different (to your mentioned) manufacturers out there. And of course, these types of ports might not be perfectly stable or functional, since, in most cases, you would need to reverse engineer parts of them to make sure they are working fully as intended, because they might not be available as an open source material. So it's not really that simple. But if all you need is a ROM with Samsung's etc. apps, I'm pretty sure you can do that yourself by changing included apps with the ones you like... Not to mention the fact that most of the time - by default - if not in apps, you spend by looking at a phone's launcher. So change that to the likes of Nova or sth. which lets you customize your experience to something more unique.
Try Project Pearl or DotOS
They have some different UI
I don't remember but may be at the time of cyanogen there is cm theme app which have samsung ui, htc ui, xperia ui and different themes which change icons, wallpapers, statusbar icons, fonts, notification, settings, dialers, message, calc app looks.
