ok cool stuff
Currently on AOKP, because... I dunno I wanted to see what r4ins was working with and it's a bit smoother than Paranoid. I have a blanket DPI of 180 with a market that fixes DPI incompatibility so no need to switch back yet.
However I do love Paranoid (great job gs2user) so I remember my settings.
Tablet UI (small) although to be honest the phone styled notification center is better
Status bar 185
Lockscreen 180
Default apps to 185
Calendar and email look the best in Tablet mode. I changed settings back to phone UI.

I thought I'd add my own configuration preferences to this thread. I love this ROM. I've tried going back to other ROMS here and there but everything just seems prehistoric to me with their setups. The fact that this ROM gives you the ability to use the phone like a tablet is awesome. The user interface is perfect for my particular needs / wants. Not to mention the ROM is quick and smooth. Here are some screenshots to illustrate what my setup looks like and what settings I used to get it. Enjoy.

awesome can't wait to see what you got for a setup.
As for me I set everything low to make it all small, haven't done it just yet after the recent flash but I will and send over some screen shots.
I also use hybrid mode for workspace, everything else with Paranoid Settings is as it comes.
This is by far my favorite ROM of all of them out there, I cannot bear to even switch, I've tried lol. Just can't stay away.

First off thanks to everyone from the various SGS forums for this, especially to fear2142.
This is the Touchwiz4 Launcher from the SGS2 ported to work with Galaxy Tabs running a DeOdexed Gingerbread based build (or latest Overcome based on GB).
Changes I made for the Tab:
Fixed XML's to support larger screen
Adjust size for workspace/edit screens
Set Launcher workspace to 6 rows/ 6 columns (fits good)
Set appdrawer to 6x6 layout as well
Adjusted to allow 5 shortcuts on bottom bar
How to install?
This is a CWM3 package, save to sd card, use recovery to install (choose zip from sdcard etc)
You must clear your dalvik cache after install.
Reboot, clear the application data for twlauncher to ensure it displays properly.
This is currenty setup for 240 dpi, I'm working on a version for 182dpi as I type.
*UPDATE*
Alright, I've attached the 182 version. Unfortunatly I just cannot get it to accept a grid any larger than 8x8.. though I suppose that's still 64 spaces right?
Known Issues
Screen rotation is not currently working
Nice one mate!
Nice work! The screen rotation does not work for me.
Nice! Can't wait for 182 version
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Awesome, just what I was waiting for
Much appreciated!
[EDIT] Could you create a zip for restoring back though incase we have issues/bugs etc?

You're going to need to add screenshots I think, cause I have no idea what you mean. None of my apps are covered by the dockbar shortcuts.
Are you running at 240 or 182 dpi like the OP says?

Im not good with phone codes.
Edit- Ignore my stupidity, i found it I knew it was a Samsung but couldnt remember which one haha.

yea GOt two more project in line if no one Beats me to it but then again ill still release lol
giving this ROM a try, looks promising
it is great, i cant wait to see where else you take this rom
Checkin' in to the awesomeness.
Lovin' the venom.
Nice to get a slimmed down tricked out ROM to play with.
Much thanks man, really appreciative of the work you've put into this.
Edit to add:
Besides not having an internet browser, everything works and is in good shape. Not having a browser means Google Search doesn't search the 'net, but as soon as you install one it fixes it.
Definitely slimmed down...much, much nicer then stock. Sure beats the hell out of going through and deleting all that crap by hand.
Camera app works completely, just in case anyone was worried or was gonna go ahead and ask that question down the thread.
What Sinfamy said below about the T-Mobile name on the lockscreen is the only thing visually amiss, and the missing browser out-of-the box (which you aleady are handling) are the only two things I can see out of place.
Market works, and another browser can be gotten from there for the time being.
Stable, no problems flashing, runs great.
Makes for a great springboard to start from, and can't wait for the eventual kernel release and such to follow.
I found my ROM, lets me keep the stock camera app (which I like and have gotten used to), kills the Tmo/HTC bloat for the most part, and now i'll get much better update support then staying with the stock ROM.
Ck23, you did a good job with this and I don't really see the need to go play with any other ROMs now, this is basically what I want.
Staying tuned in for the Kernel, and the tweaks/updates that'll be following.
Gonna buy you some kool-aid, you earned it.
Looks great, can you align the carrier "T-Mobile" to the left or something so it doesn't overlap wit the notification bar?
Also you took out the official internet app can you put it back

If it's like EVERY OTHER ROM it's:
1. Download ROM
2. Reboot into Recovery
3. Perform Master Reset (wipe data/cache/system)
4. Wipe Dalvik cache under advanced
5. Choose install zip from sdcard
6. Find file and click ok
7. Let ROM installer script do its work
8. Reboot
9. Upon first boot it will take some time. Give it time for everything to get settled before you start using the phone too heavily.
Hopefully this helps. If CK wants to add anything to this, please do!
worked great thanks
disregard!!!!!!!!!!!

Any pics of the notification bar? Does "Tmobile" and recent apps still take up prime real estate, or is it cleaned up and minimal?

I will post current issues here; as you can see, when an issue is fixed it will be striked out.
The point of this bug list is so ppl know what the bugs are before they repost it.
Known Issues (V1.4)
- Stock Browser FC
- MIUI Lock freezes when using home shortcut (other two work fine)
- Wifi is hit & miss Fixed
- BT is hit & miss Fixed

1. An "FC" means "Force Close" or when an app stops working and is closed by the OS.
2. It can be yes, it worked before, I just need to figure out what I did differently

Speaking of, I pulled another browser logcat today and saw a reference to vending app (Google Play) so it could be caused by the Jelly Bean market app..

It is about that time to start considering the next release of Mind Of Mac. I am trying to get an idea of what users want to see. I've already got a few things planned, but won't specifically name anything as idk if all of them will work. So,

You tried out Holo Locker from the market? It will be packaged with 1.5 & if I can merge it into my current framework, it will just be another option in settings :good:
& Yeah I know, it has been pretty heavily modified cuz the regular version is filled with gingerbread. Just freeze or uninstall it and update. (system/app/com.google.android.music-1.apk)
If I can find time, I'll have the updated version themed instead for 1.5.
Holo Locker seems to be at least 10x better than WidgetLocker in performance but if it was ONLY a little bit more configurable, it would be just sweet. Looking forward to the upcoming releases Mac.

See my screenshots in first post
sent from my HTC 1X
The launcher seemed to have cramped everything up, looking at thr screenshots. Is it what the real launcher looks like?
i have the launcher all setup, and added the English badges, but does anybody know how to disable the launcher's Lock screen? Even when I use a different launcher it's still the default launcher. I assume the option is there, but i can't find it.

Edit:
To disable the lock screen, all you need to do is kill its process from startups. It works like I want it now.
Although I wish there was weather, unless I can't find it. Haha
Can anyone please post the apk? Thanks

I made a small home button launcher replacement, mainly for myself to overcome my new note 2 'bulkiness' when it comes to switch tasks quickly. Give it a try and let me know if you found it useful.
Google play download: HomeFlip
very useful app. thanks for sharing.
an idea from me: add a swipe option for opening the app. for ex. horizontal swipe open up the HomeFlip.
Noted.

Noted, but this will require a background service so it will have to be optional, I like to keep thing lightweight (my daughter use my old Nexus S...)
Thanks!.
Thanks for sharing, I love it! Its fast and super lite!

I do like the app.. I'm not sure if i'm missing something but I have an alternate launcher for my home screen, it seems that it defaults to that. Can i change the default home screen homeflip takes me to after its activated?

Your not missing anything, this is a oversight from my part, I should have known that the xda crowd was likely to have at least one custom launcher in addition of the stock one installed!.
Thanks for the feedback, will fix this soon.

This is really nice of you.
Thanks.
Thank you very much for making this app. It's nice and light. I tried it, but I will have to wait till the option to choose "default" launcher available to install it again :highfive:.
And is there anyway that I could replace the default recent apps with your app ? I have a button for recent apps, but it takes age to load

The support for fallback launcher selection should be available latter this week, I'll post the update info's on this thread, so keep watching.

It depend on the ROM you are running, most stock Android will popup the task manager when pressing Home for few seconds, HomeFlip should preserve this behavior by default.
I'll check CM9 (this is what you are running right ?) internals to see if there is a way to hijack this, but keep in mind that I try to keep HomeFlip as non-invasive as possible, so any features that require additional permissions or dirty tricks is a no go for me, Respect peoples phone is my policy
Thanks.

I know the long-press home action, and of course, I don't like it . I have a cheap and weak phone (HTC explorer), so your animation seem a bit laggy . I have a dedicated button for recent apps, but it take about 1-1.5 second to load . So go to home and tap app icon is even faster than using the recent apps menu .
Looking for the update . By the way, the apk size is tiny, but cached process need 10MB, is that normal ?

You can disable the animation from settings (context menu).
HomeFlip to not not cache anything by itself, but it is possible that the OS itself cache information (i.e. icons), I'll have a look.
Anyway, Android is getting good at managing memory itself, the times where you had to manually kill tasks are hopefully over.
Thanks.
HomeFlip 1.01 available now.
HomeFlip Version 1.01 available now:
changes:
- Settings / Added support for multiple launchers.
- Settings / Added background dimming customization.
Full theme customization coming up next, stay tuned.
Enjoy.
I'm probably missing the obvious here, but I absolutely can not find the settings. Awesome app though, if I could only find the settings to change the default launcher!

I like this a lot. Running it on my Nexus along with ADW launcher. Very fast and smooth. Subscribing to this thread to keep an eye on things
@above How did you get to the settings on your nexus?
