Does anyone know if when ported it'll look like the nexus 7. I recently saw images of a nexus 7 with 4.1.2 and it had slight changes to the home screen that seemed cool. Jw if we'll get that or if it was just got the nexus.

It wasnt a real big update tho. Only things added were the portrait mode on the Nexu 7 and the one touch notification system. So i dont think an update on our side will happen...but who knows.
I believe lit been merged into the latest cm10 builds.

Can you post examples of what you're looking for? Maybe what you're looking for isn't specific to 4.1.2 and can be replicated on any version.
I've got CM10 with the 4.1.2 changes, but I run Apex Launcher and don't know what the Nexus 7 looks like.

Specifically the launchpad on the side like it is on phones. I also haven't rooted my pad yet. I've had my phone rooted with cm10 for awhile now and really like it but I'm off put about losing warranty and the instructions seem harder. A lot of the instructions I've found require using a terminal instead of Odin.

That looks to me like a function of the launcher, not the version of Android. Have you experimented with launchers to see if any do this? I use Apex and it doesn't appear to allow the dock to be on the left side but maybe others (or even the pro version of Apex) might.

Any news from Asus about the update on JB?

One thing I noticed about the 4.1.2 update was the ability to add multiple users to the tablet. I would love to have this option on my tf300.. Anyone know when this will be available for us? Someone mentioned that the tf300 might not even get this update due to such small changes, but I feel like the ability to add multiple users is a pretty big change, and hopefully one big enough to allow us to eventually get the update on the tf300.

I may have misspoken. I talked to my buddy that has a nexus 7 and he said his new update was 4.2.1.. So if that's the newest version that is the one I'm talking about having the multiple user option.

Just downloaded it from thier blog. Looks nice. Why does it have the 'stretch to fill' and 'zoom to fill' option? Does this mean its not fully utilized for tablet use or our big displays?? The latest beta is the first version that runs well on my TF.

it's beautiful and have many themes, but not smooth. just try and uninstall
Really like on the phone, not so much on tab. Needs some more work. Wallpaper doesn't scroll, app drawer was really slow with sphere transition....only a beta. I'm sure they will get there.

I added it to my transition. In preferences, press operations settings, choose glide up/down, then choose show/hide bar.

Google has started to pushing out a new Market update in V.3.4.4. The inspection of your apps operates more quickly than before (apparently).
You can add tips or shortcuts on your home screen. The option is visible "auto-adds shortcuts" on the apk settings. Look screen
Is it really faster?
Is it bugg more less?
Root is not required
If you find something more different with the ancient versions, tell us on your post.
Download the new Market.
it does appear quicker but it could just be me.
Thanks, will give it a whirl later.
Works well thanks
tried this on he asus eee pad transformer and it was not full screen, black bars at both sides.
reverted to old market and all good again.
Actually works fine on my samsung galaxy II though.

The play store says the free version can do up to 35 icons in the dock. I've seen screen images that show the Dock settings option after the Drawer settings option. But on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (just released last week), Dock settings does not show.
I'm guessing it has something to do with my tablet being so new....or for some reason, tablets are not worthy of this feature? (I mean, phones only?).

you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.go.launcherpad its go launcher for pad.
not too bad has a dock. i was hoping apex would have one but i tried out the free one one and there doesnt seem to be any mention of a dock on it it.
i've run Go launcher on HC and ICS both work wonder full. and i pair it up with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&hl=en to have a single page wallpaper.
There was an update today version 1.1.1
It now has settings for the "dock".

Is there any way to remove blank or unused pages on the home screen? I organize my apps into named folders so I've no use for the other four pages pages.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
Not in the stock launcher. Some other launchers (like: GO Launcher HD (EX is only for phones, HD is for tablets)) will allow you to control this. Others here have used Apex and Nova Launcher, but I can't speak to them. I do know that there were stability issues with some of those.

try pressing the home button,--> after pressing it, it will show you all the desktop pages, you can click and drag those pages that you are not using up into the trash bin (same process when you delete widgets from your homescreen)
hope it helps .. ^_^

Wont let me edit my last post. Grr. I guess what I want to know is if stock launcher will still be running under or alongside apex launcher? I don't want two launchers eating up resources.

From my consulting days "It Depends."
The launcher itself shouldn't. It replaces the default launcher (the first time you press 'home' you can select the default - go to settings ->apps -> the launcher -> clear defaults (or uninstall the launcher) to get back to the stock one). If you use GO there are a lot of cool ad-ons and widgets that will consume battery but you have to download them separately and add them manually. Since you're trying to keep one screen I'll assume that you wont be adding a ton of widgets.
The only difference in system is that some launchers may take more memory than others and if there is battery drain it's trivial (like checking daily for an update instead of weekly or something not enough to notice by any means).
Note that when you change your launcher you will have to re-setup your home screen. If you revert to the stock launcher your old setup will still be there, so it's not lost. Each launcher just saves their own configuration.
Good luck!
Thanks, everyone. I look forward to participating here in the forums. I am also on overclock.net.
P.S. has anyone done extensive comparisons on which launcher performs the best and uses the least amount of resources while doing so? Im open to opinions.

No one has done a full comparison (that I know of) but reading through these might help (some are more general and background, some should give you an idea of problems/questions that other people have.)

I used Apex on my Droid Bionic. It's VERY close -- as in, nearly identical -- to the stock Moto launcher. I liked it a lot, better than ADW, in fact.

It doesn't, only stock based ROM's support it (Hydro, Cleanrom)
If it did support the dock I would be using it
this month
the tf300t has already gone in end of life, asus is introducting the new memo 301 that supersedes it so as for tf101 support will cease.
but 4.2 should be already done, they were working on it and I doubt that they wont release it.
If they don't update it to the android 4.2, we always have cyanogen mod and I bet the dock support will come soon as it also came pretty quick for cyanogen mod 10

Hell no!
Personally, I hope we'll never will. The UI sucks when in landscape mode. New functionalities are great but I don't think that they're worth geting used to new status bar.

if you dont want it just dont upgrade but why you want to piss off everybody else that want it?
4.2.x is extremely buggy, laggy and problematic. The new UI is terrible for a 10" tablet. Asus will have to do some serious work to make it work properly on the transformer without complaints imo. I'm not convinced we will see it.
I'm not looking forward to it if they do release it along with all the posts about how to go back to 4.1.1 due to the poorly designed UI.
