Love the N7 but - Nexus 7 General

OK I really do like the overall device, the power and the os but I really prefer the form factor and lower weight of my galaxy tab 7.7. Yes I know one is higher end, has a better screen and costs a lot more ...
Holding the GTab for extended periods just feels better.
Once I get the nova launcher running and I can hold the N7 in portrait I meant landscape then I am sure it will felt better.
Anyone using nova launcher? Looks like to really get the most out of it I have to upgrade vice using the free.

Enable tablet mode (160 dpi), and there is no need for nova as the stock launcher will rotate.

Tablet mode? I do realize it will auto rotate but not on the main screen home

Nova is nice though because you can set animation speeds.... feels super slick

[Q] Scroll Speed

I noticed that iPhone have a way better scroll on browser than most of andriod phones.. Than i google a little about it and found that the iPhone uses hardware aceleration (CPU) to do a better scrolling.
Now i wonder if our developers community could get some sort of code on the browser to use more hardware on it, especially to scrolling..
There is any way of that happen?
I have access to a iPhone (my friend's iphone) and i really think that scroll on it is way more comfortable to my eyes, don't know really why.
Sorry for bad english (again), and no notion on programing skills.
Edit: OMG!! sorry, i post it on the wrong session!! SO SORRY!

I think it depends on hardware capability. Like a computer, the vga must have internal vsync feature to minimalise screen flickering and cpu do the frame tearing and method. If we do it just by software I don't think can 100% perfect.

Regina 3D Launcher

Just found this the other day and have been using it since then. It's been running pretty nice. Is anyone else using it?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
I tried it a while back, if it was a lil more customizeable i wouldve loved it but also the only way for me to get no lag was to overclock to 1.9 which i cant do all the time :/

I used this for a while. It was a cool idea but every other time I went to home it had to reinitialize. I eventually went back to more stable launchers.
I can't find this app for the life of me lol
EDIT: was looking for it with my Prime gonna try my phone. damn compatability issues lol
EDIT2: Yeah I found it on my phone. To bad I can't have it on my Prime I bet it would run great on there and make it worth while. Looks like a free SPB shell

I used this one for awhile too and i loved the idea of different workspaces especially the ability to have a locked/hidden workspace, but the lack of customization as G4 man2 mentioned is what killed it for me as well.

New Nexus 7 Landscape Mode

I bought the N7 a few weeks ago an love it. The only thing I found I didn't like was not
having home screen rotate to landscape mode. Luckily there is a free app in Google Play

I get so much lag doing the local.prop fix. Sometimes it works immediately when I rotate, but more times than not it will hang for 30-40 seconds before you see anything or can do anything. Ever since I turned off Currents everything else has been perfect except screen rotation. Any ideas?

Edit the build.prop file for true tablet ui with no lag. The dpi I use is 175 which is perfect. You do have to revert back to 213 to make purchases threw play. So I buy apps in bundles so I spend as little time with that hideous stock phone ui.

Why not just use a multi dpi play store like i do? I use slimBean, one is included with that. I can see all apps at any dpi

Or use EOS rom which has native DPI tablet mode and no worries at all.

I caved in and bought the ultimate rotation license for $4 :what: It seemed a bit much but it works like a charm with no lag and it rotates in a split second unlike the other methods I tried. Another thing I factored in was, I was able to also use the license for my samsung galaxy s3 cause touch wiz also doesn't rotate so I figure 4 bucks for 2 of my devices isnt that bad.

Ive just found THE most annoying problem in the N4...

And now Im going to ruin your day. If you have folders and app icons mixed on the home screen, the labels dont align. App icons text sits noticeably higher than the label for folders. Its annoying the bejesus out of me...
Software update will fix it. Big deal.
Please provide a screenshot.

You don't care but some do. Sorry we don't all think like you! The fact is it shouldn't even be there. I have never seen this on any android phone I have used or any of the dozens of Stock/Custom ROMs.
I've found something much worse
For me anyway, when I set the brightness to the maximum and then put a black background, a single red stuck pixel shows up near the center. It only seems to be visible with the brightness turned up and on darker backgrounds.
I've tried using the stuck pixel fixer apps but none have worked so far :/ Anyone have any ideas?
Very terrible, this has made me cancel Thanksgiving.

Is this possible? Not stock based ROM with some themes and tweaks but a full out port of a tab2 7".

sure, if youre willing to work at it. but chances are it wont run perfectly. why would you want to downgrade your nexus 7 anyways?
Is there something about the Tab's version of Android that makes you want it over Google's? If it is something specific to the Tab from Samsung and not just an app the likelihood is it won't run right on the Nexus.
I had the chance to get a tab and I wanna see what the tab was like.

I know of the ROM with the launcher but it doesn't have all the features the tab has to offer. (Not trying to say the tab is better than the nexus because the nexus 7 is amazing)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Part of what makes the N7 so much better than the Tab is that it has much better hardware and specs. Running the Tab's version of Android on the N7 (assuming you could) wouldn't tell you much about the Tab in terms of performance. It would be a useless comparison in that regard.
The only thing I would want to see from the tab 2 7inch is the tab ui launcher from its ics Rom, I always see the other launcher from jb ported but never the one that has tab ui

I see threads like this in the forums of every device I've owned (and that's a few).
People want HTC sense on their Samsung's, Touchwiz on their HTC, or some other combination.
The only device I've ever seen it pulled off successfully was HTC sense on the nexus one and only because the HTC desire had identical internal hardware.
It's just way too much work as overlays like Sense, Touchwiz, and Motoblur are closed source. It's possible to reverse engineer them and get them working on different hardware but it's a huge amount of labour and the results would be poorly optimized and not very much fun to use if someone even did manage it.
Some people with tabs go to great effort to run pure Google on them and you have that out of the box so be grateful for what you have. The grass is always greener on the other side.
