some pictures will be nice:-)

nexus theme shop.
how weird can it get?

a shop that only has 3 products.
nexus 7, galaxy nexus, nexus Q. (nexus S & nexus 1 are too outdated, safe to assume not selling already)
how do do business? perhaps loads of overprices casing, pouch, and accessories for nexus 7 & galaxy nexus?

thats not a bad idea. can go there shop for decent case.

i not using stock wallpaper. but now that you mention it, mine also missing.
weird.

can get the pics back using google image search. haha. attached.


just some fun fact for home screen grid size,
213 dpi, 6x6
175dpi, 7x6
160dpi, 8x7

lower dpi more compact home screen


Attached thumbnail(s)

to get tablet UI.

i just took some screen shots of the settings menu, in different DPI.
later i upload for you guys to see.

resize the images to 50%, so that it wont look too big on your monitor, and more similar to 7inch size for comparison.

battery usage at settings, with notification bar pulled up, fonts are set to largest in display settings.



keyboards at color note app


you can explore more dpi settings and post your screen shots here.
213 is stock, the phone UI

i use 175 because i found a guide in google and said this is the dpi to get tablet UI.

160 is default dpi for 10 inch tablet. using this will give you exactly same look in 10 inch tablet, just scaled everything to be smaller.

luckily i bought from garage sales early batch, able to get for <1100 for 16GB.

now seems many garage sale people also increase to 1200 already.

but still, its a much better buy than samsung tab2 7inch, or tab 7+

wow, the magic of competition.

hope accessories also quickly got more competition.
best is wait for the next pc fair. accessories are much cheaper during pc fair.

isn't AOSP pure android from google?
stock nexus 7 rom is not AOSP?

So limited function, and so expensive.
Not worth la.

Don't get what's the point of hooking a tablet to a TV.
Tablet meant for on the go. If hook to TV just for movies, might as well plug my laptop and play the movie.

Added on August 10, 2012, 10:34 pmOic, thanks for clearing my confusion.:-)

Right now my DPI is 175, with system font largest.
Chrome font increase to 150%, really comfortable for my eyes.
Not free now to try the deodex thing.
Maybe after my busy period.

May I ask what's the stock home screen grid size after using this patch?

This post has been edited by mtxx: Aug 10 2012, 10:34 PM

My home screen is 7x6,
App drawer is 7x5

Fonts are good after set to largest.

I'm very curious bout the patch. But I dare not try it.
I'm on stock odex ROM.
And I can't enter cwm recovery by the combo keys.

Worry I screw up. Not a risk worth taking right now.
Besides, gotten very accustom to current ui.

My dad bought this wireless keyboard and mouse set.

Its not Bluetooth, it needs a usb dongle only cn work.

I plug into my tab via usb otg just for fun.
Surprisingly it worked!

Both the mouse and keyboard very responsive. Amazing!:-D

what happen to spacebar?


maybe its done on purpose to make passer-by stare at the signboard longer and attract attention.

Time will tell, right now just sit back and enjoy the show.
Waiting for them to open. Hope the accessories there won't be sold at a cut throat price like apple store

Get your tab running first only talk about rooting la.

Find a WiFi asap. Or grab someone smartphone use their tethering

I'm very tempted o flash glazed ROM.
But after reading 60+ pages, that ROM got a notification bar icon cut off bug.
Wrong version number, and some other small things.

Unless the custom ROM offer some really unique creative features or extra function,
Don see the need o flash.

Stock ROM really solid. Till today nv hang or slow down.

Just notice something after reading lots of nexus 7 news.

For galaxy nexus, I often hear Samsung galaxy nexus in advertisement
Even without Samsung name, the term galaxy is enough to remind people of Samsung.

This tab is always called GOOGLE nexus 7.
There's barely any mention of asus, even our thread also call Google.
Kesian Asus. Haha...

Flashing glazed jellybean
First time try custom rom
Nervous, hope it boots.

yeah, manage to boot, just restore everything with titanium backup.

last time dare not flash any rom, cos worry if screw up cant boot, i cant enter recovery.
my cwm cant use the volume down + power to enter, need to use app to enter.

but i ask in xda they say plug usb cable and connect to computer, then only the combo keys will work.
i tried and indeed can enter cwm.
so since i can enter cwm, no harm trying new rom.

let me play around with the settings and other stuff first.
everything looks very strange and different to me bacause i use tablet mode by 175dpi change since day one.
this one kindda like weird hybrid tablet phone mode with stock dpi. need to get use to it.

it has a very cool boot animation by the way.
and it boot very fast. i was expecting need to wait very long for first boot.
maybe its the quad core.

i cant handle this rom. dont like it.


the good:
~overall tab feels abit faster. because all stock jellybean animation time has been reduced by about half. when you press app tray, it takes half the time to open, because the animation has been speed up.

~superb, fantastic, beautiful beautiful animations. every thing, every event, every pop up has an animation, either fly in from left, slide down, fade. even press option button, the option bar rolls down like a scroll. i notice the play store has the most animation, since it involved lots of popups, thus loads of animations. even unlock screen has its own slick animation.

~volume slider at notification bar (only in tablet mode)

~customize toggles at notification bar



the bad:

~ the home screen is fix to have 6x6 grid. cant change anything bigger. max option is 6x6. whether you change the DPI, use phone UI or tablet UI, the max is just 6x6. a big margin, and all apps cluttered in the center, really ugly.

~ fake tablet UI. its not complete UI, its just phone UI, but with notification bar moved to the bottom right like tablet mode. there is no fixed google search on upper left, and no fix app tray icon at upper right.

~launcher dock exist in tablet UI, ugly as hell, but if you remove it, there is NO way to get into app tray. *facepalm!!
since there is no fix app tray icon at upper right.

~even after set to tablet UI, the settings layout is still the phone UI layout.

~despite beautiful animations all over, there is a bug in settings animation, when you move from different settings category, there is a very very noticable animations shadow/trail. this was mentioned as a bug in the xda thread. i was expecting it, but never thought it was that bad.

~for phone UI, the notification icon at the notification bar is bigger, resulting being cut off abit. this is known bug, again is mentioned in xda thread.

~i really miss the real complete tablet UI, so i change dpi to 175, but i still dont get the full tablet UI i wanted, it just make the UI smaller. sigh....


this is really a good rom if you are a phone UI fan, the only draw back is the notification icons abit cut off, just a tiny bit. its not entirely a bad thing if you prefer larger icons, its easier to see.

the animations throughout the entire UI are really nice, enjoy them alot. really makes me feel the tab is much more alive, faster and fluid.

but finally i prefer the real tablet UI, not some weird hybrid half half thing.
restore back to stock rom.

very surprised at the restore speed. not sure is cwm6 or the quad core, but backup and restore is much faster than my sgs2.
