I know it sounds silly, with such a big screen, why would we want a UI that consumes so much of the screen? Well I think it would just be kinda neat to see it on the Xoom, who knows maybe people like it more? Is there any possibility of this happening? I have EOS 3 126 and it is running just fine.
Here's some more info for you, even though I don't have the answer.
Nexus runs phone UI, Xoom runs tablet UI.
Nexus can be tweaked to run tablet. My guess is its a build.prop tweak.
See that's what I thought cause that's how you get the Nexus 7 to run the tablet interface, so I don't know of the same thing can be done with a simple build.prop mod.

To get the phone UI, you need to change the DPI I believe. I tried it and my XOOM didn't boot, had to reflash my ROM. Probably not a good idea.

Same, I was messing with the DPI but after I did that it just wouldn't boot, which sucks.

I wish I had a link to the article so this wasn't such an anecdotal response but I'm 99% sure that I read the ui the nexus uses is actually an in between mode for 7ish inch screens. The thing I read said there was a phone, a 7" and a 10" mode. The only reason I bring this up is that I would be interested in seeing that other view too just to compare so if you find anything else on the subject please let us know.
Edit: http://liliputing.com/2012/07/how-to-change-the-nexus-7-user-interface-to-full-tablet-mode.html
That article has a little more detail on the three ui modes and lists the dpi of the nexus 7 (213). As well as what range to set it to to get it to display the full tablet mode. This might be a good place to start from to try to get the xoom to go down to the middle size ui mode

Well, compare nexus to phone UI. It seems the same.

Not really, in landscape the notification tray pulls down covering only the left of the screen and in portrait it only covers the middle of the screen.

If anyone finds a ROM with nexus style ui plz post it I'd love to try it out on Xoom or gnex and won't get a n7 until Oct or DEC 25
I don't think it is possible t get the Nexus 7 UI n a phone with a smaller display....

I made a universal mod for this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898907
I really like this on my Xoom, it makes the screen a little weirder to type on but that's only in the beginning, after a while you get used to it. It feels a little slow when dragging the notification window down but it feels faster in some other areas like scrolling through my pages of apps in the app drawer.

Sorry to double post, but I have to say, your universal mod is SO much better on my Wingray. Much faster, the bar is a lot bigger so the soft keys aren't so small and difficult to tap and it is just overall less glitchy, with the other mod, my Xoom restarted every time I held the power button, with yours everything works just fine. Thank you so much.
Oh and the keyboard is so much bigger and better to type on, it seems the other one makes the screen size feel smaller so it all is very much wasting screen real estate.

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

hi, i gt the same problem, eng student too, apparently alot of users have same problem, its been around before we got the update in uk, since aug 2012 as far as i know, i tried many apps, paperus might be a gd one for us but it aint as good as s note, i emailed samsung and i think if alot of users does so something might happen to improve it, or if any devs could jus take the zooming option out,
would you mind emailing samsung so that they could get a massive user feed back.

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

I've been looking for an official thread about the CM 10.1 for our phone!
I installed it last night. Looks like a good start, but not quite ready for daily use. A couple quick things I noticed not working: SD card isn't mounting correctly, selecting reboot from the power menu doesn't reboot, just shuts it down.
Speaking of the SD card issue, the way this phone handles them is kind of bothersome. Apps that by default save to a folder on your sd card for backups/restores can't find anything I backed up from my old phone. And I have no idea where CWM is saving my backups!

That's good to know. I haven't had time to look through there.
Other than the SD Card not working here's what I noticed so far:
NFC does not work.
I only get 7000 at most on Quadrant while I got 12500+ on stock (It's only a single, old benchmark, but still a pretty big drop - haven't tried other benchmarks yet).
Camera takes a much longer time to take pictures than stock.
LTE is disabled by default (why? also, I seem to get 4G less often/weaker than on stock, but it's probably my imagination)
Other than that it works fine. WiFi and GPS work perfectly and the phone doesn't bug/slow down at all. There's pretty much no app to test the IR sensor that I know of (other than stock Samsung), so I can't comment on that.
Anyways nice, fast port. Hope those quirks can be ironed out and we get some action with custom roms/kernels for performance and IR/Hover functionality on aosp
Also, what exactly are the differences between the t-mobile and the canadian version? Seeing how fast the canadian version got out I guess there's not much of a difference, just wondering.
I'm definitely looking forward to the gracious devs that decides to develop Cyanogenmod for the S4! I've been running CM10.1 on my S2 and literally cannot live without it, the status/notification bar, trebuchet launcher... loved it all.

I do not have screenshots, but I can tell you that it's the cpu that gets a lot lower score than before (previously got over 7000 of the total score by itself, now gets under 3000). I tried putting the minimal frequency at 1.89Ghz, which did help slightly (7200 score vs the previous 6800-6900s), but nothing close to stock.
I tried AnTuTu once and got 22800, which is fairly close the the 23500 people seem to get on stock.
I need to go to sleep, I'll try a few more benchmarks tomorrow.

This will be really hard to implement, but I'll try to after I added some other suggested options!
Right, I'm running catyclasym 5.1 with elementalX kernal and the Google camera is nothing short of absolute rubbish....
I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues and if there's a fix for it.... It will not focus and all pictures on it seem smokey and just general bad quality. I did try out a free version of Manual Camera but after a while I got force closes.... plus I'd rather stick to Google apps.
Thanks in advance
