Hi, having an issue in that when I long press icons they just go straight to move rather than bringing up the little menu that lets you re-name, size, and change icon pic. Anyone now a work around. I am on the newest edition but this has been going on for the last 3! Ed
I am using Launcher Pro Plus on my brand new Bionic. I have an empty screen and am trying to add the World Clock widget, yet it keeps telling me I have no room and won't let me add it? Has anyone else run across this issue? Any feedback?
I downloaded home switcher and went back to the stock home screen to test. I was able to add it there with no problem. Ths widget must not be compatible with launcher pro?

I've just started using the SSLauncher on my HTC One X and I love it. I decided to install it on my 7.7 today but apparently it's not fully compatible (or I'm doing something wrong). The wallpaper only covers half of the screen....but if I switch back to Go Launcher or the regular Samsung launcher everything works properly.
Is anyone using the SSLauncher with the 7.7 having this problem?
I have not used SS Launcher but I face similar issue when I use ADW EX Launcher, although it's compatible with 7.7 but sometimes when i rotate the tab to portrait mode half of the screen is black...still can't figure how to solve this issue..hope someone knows.
Hi!
Trying with Apex launcher, I think not bad, we can edit logo, replace logo if we want. Also If you like Ipad design, you can use Ilauncher, quite simple and userfull.
I installed Rocket Rom V7 and now I am facing the issue that
whatever sized wallpaper I select for my homescreen, they all become scrollable, instead of being restricted to one screen size.
I even tried with 1280x800 sized wallpapers and I believed that the wallpaper shouldnt scroll. But they become super zoomed and scroll across my home screens.
I have Go Launcher Ex too installed.
Strangely, the wallpapers look same when I switch to go launcher or older stock launcher which came with original ics 4.03 update.
Has anyone faced the same issue?
Whats the solution?
Thanks in advance.
I updated my Nexus 7 to android 4.2, rooted it, edited the prop.build to change the LCD density to 160. Looks like Googles removing the tablet UI.
Yes this has been known since Nexus 10 was announced
Hopefully paranoidandroid can do something with it
i dont mind the phablet UI but I just want the tablet Youtube app.
i hate hate hate the phone youtube app with a passion.
does anyone know how to get the youtube app to scale out?
Ya I'm hoping PA can solve this. Not at all pleased about losing tablet ui. I guess phablet works on the nexus 7 because its meant to be held vertically but I couldn't imagine it on a 10in horizontal tablet.

Good, tablet ui was ugly and un-userfriendly. The new ui is a lot better especially for new users.

I can live with the phablet UI, except for the location of the navigation bar buttons. The locations essentially turn my experience into thumb olympics.
Google really needs to give us customization options for the navigation bar. Let us decide where the buttons are. Or potentially let us make the navigation bar be on the side of the screen while in landscape mode, because it's quite awful as of right now.
just updated to 4.2, checked out some of the awesome new features, rooted, adjusted my lcd density to get my tablet ui back only to find i can't.
the big phone ui is horrible, it wastes space by having two separate bars on my screen, and means i can't just hold the tablet at the bottom and still be able to reach all my controls. really disappointing.
Oh, glad I didn't update then! I hate having the status bar at the top AND the button bar at the bottom, the tablet UI is a much better use of space.
i'm a bit confused as to why they've removed the tablet ui altogether when changing the density. unless they have actually removed it entirely from the os meaning that no tablet will have the tablet ui once upgraded to 4.2 unless it's manually put there by the manufacturer.
So there is no tablet ui at all when the lcd density is changed to 160?
nope. i took it down to 170 which gives me the tablet ui for my apps like youtube, and gave me the full tablet ui on 4.1.2, but i just get a smaller phone ui on 4.2.
still worth an upgrade imho, the lock screen password entry is much nicer, multi user support is enabled, gmail has FINALLY added pinch to zoom, and i'm sure there's much more i haven't noticed yet, but i do miss my tablet ui
I definitely preferred it.
The Nexus 10 even uses the phablet UI. They're doing way with the gt tablet UI for conformity because everyone complained about it being "confusing" and Google can't figure out what they want.
So we now have a uniformed UI... Sadly.
Tablet UI was my choice. It was perfect IMO. Everything at the bottom on each side for great thumb control and a quick settings access menu for toggles. Using my N7 on 4.2 seems counter intuitive because I constantly have to shift hands to grab the top bars. I also don't care for the 2 menus. I inadvertently grab the wrong menu often... And the "toggles" are not predictable. Some are direct toggles but others are shortcuts. The major ones like Bluetooth and WiFi are shortcuts.
And the lockscreen widgets are cool... But I hate the little white border every time I unlock that indicates I can scroll. I'd move the lock screen widgets down and have a dedicated settings menu to enable/disable or just use the existing widget picked from the start menu which options of home screen or lock screen placement.
I'm sure they'll work the kinks out soon.

You can still get Tablet UI from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780970&page=84
See post number 840 on page 84. Download the 4.2-TabletUI.zip and flash in recovery.
Only problem is stock launcher does not fit the screen. Nova Launcher (free from Play Store) works fine. Same Tablet experience as with 4.1.2.

So this is a full ROM update, not some apk you load on top of your existing ROM? If I use it, will it wipe my settings? EDIT: never mind' looked at the wrong post, it looks like post 840 has a patch
I do like the tablet interface best, easier to reach buttons with my thumb (I use my tablet horizontally a lot). Also I don't use a dock on my home screen and with the update I no longer can bring up the app drawer from the status bar.
I may try Chameleon Launcher as my "Tablet UI"
I've been looking at it for a long time and noticed that the price was just cut to $3.99.
Probably cashing in on the people who lost the old UI.

Chameleon is still just a launcher, it won't change you to a tablet ui.

True, but it may resolve my issues. And my point was to share info about the price cut with people here as much as anything.
I know a lot of people have been interested but turned off by the former $10 price.
