How come my nexus 5 shows new tabs in the card style, but my tab 7.7 has a tab switcher which looks the same as desktop chrome? Both browsers are the same version!

The slight UI differences is mainly because one is a tablet and one is a phone.

Oh, right, that makes sense, thanks!
Is there any hidden setting to choose between the two? I prefer the card style switcher...
Thanks!!

You're welcome and I doubt Google will officially have that feature for a phone. I could be wrong though.
Edit: Go to the Playstore and type in "Chrome". Click on the one that says "Chrome Beta". From the pictures, it appears to be the one with the tab feature.

Thanks, I downloaded the beta, it's the same as standard chrome in terms of the tab switcher.
Just to be clear, I want to use the 'card style' tab switcher on my tablet, rather than the tradition 'desktop style' tab switcher it currently uses.
My nexus 5 uses the card style, I want my tab 7.7 to use the card style too.

I see go launcher has a tablet version but I can't install it. Is there any good tablet launchers that do work on Note?

Install Imilka's ICS rom then change your dpi to 213 and you'll have tablet mode as standard.
Other option is VTL Launcher https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vtlab.launcher - Sassibob reviews it a few months ago

SPB Mobile Shell has a "tablet" mode which works well on the Note. I have been using it since I got the Note in November. It is relatively expensive, but for me it provides what I want and therefore is good value for money. It also has some good widgets... I attach a screen capture of the Weather widget.

Nova & apex are pure ICS and both support landscape..
Adw drops to tablet mode but only at 160 (I think)
I've managed to install Go Launcher HD but it gives me a message that I should be using Go Launcher for phones (option to either cancel or go to market to download phone version). If I could only get rid of this pop-up message... I love Go Launcher widgets but the phone version lags in tablet mode...
Hey all, who all is using Launcher 7 and what's your thoughts about it? I have used it before on my Atrix and now I'm using it on my Note and love it. Been finding cool tile images and such to make it awesome. I know it may not be "the perfect launcher", but it runs fairly good.
I am running Launcher 7 on Stunner .19.

I used it a lot back on my SGSII and Captivate, but ever since switching over to ICS (I love the stock launcher) I've been using Apex. I tried Launcher 7 and it was just.. buggy. More than usual. I never had problems back on Gingerbead.

Interesting. What kind of bugs were you experiencing? Don't get me wrong, I love Apex! I haven't had very many problems at all with Launcher 7 so far.
go?
i love go launcher. it was great on S2 but on the note sometimes slow
the problem is that its all set with all the settings and folder i use and its comfortable so that's why i don't go back to the stock one

+1 for running Launcher 7 on Galaxy Note
I don't like so much the look of the Launcher 7, I prefer 360 launcher but with many widgets it is become really slow and I try now Hi launcher, new ergonomy but for note I cannot like 360 launcher have a 7x6 for widgets
I want a fusion between some launcher to make the perfect one !!!
I never liked any launchers before as they would eat away unnecessary RAM and will be laggy. But few days back I tried the Launcher7 and I was impressed. I love it and use it now on my note - love the way I can configure the tiles.
Is there any launcher 7 developing thread?
sent from x10mp
I got the donate version for my old nexus s but don't like how big the tiles look on my note. I emailed the developer asking him about possibly adding a 3rd column so all that space is used efficiently (plus it would look really good on the note) but sadly... i seem to have been ignored. Love Launcher 7 on a 4 inch screen but not on a screen as big as our note, the tiles just look BIG
I love launcher 7 and the whole wp7 look. Ive pretty much replaced standard apps with wp7 equivalents as well as the status bar and how i get notifications. These are my tiles

Hi,
after I've upgraded to 4.1.1; I've seen that gt2 has lost the tablet UI that It has on previous ICS version 4.0.4.; and It looks like a definitive step.
For me it's a downgrade of the tablet.:crying:
There is some way to change the UI to tablet again without changing to ICS previous room?
Regards.

Well, OEMs can do 'old' tablet UI if they want. But Samsung has decided to just go ahead and keep that aspect even while replacing other things with Touchwiz.
I find it stubborn of them. Google created their tablet UI and merged HoneyComb and Gingerbread into ICS and further but they are not capitalising on their innovation. Phone mode on 7" tablet is still fine but having it on Nexus 10 is just ugly and not ergonomic.
yeah, especially when trying to tap home on Landscape...
Good side on the new UI:
well, actually, none. most shortcuts from 4.0.4 in status and shortcut bar were removed.
-Except for the halo effect circle when you drag.
Bad side:
-Annoying to click from top then to bottom
-Trying to make it landscape, the feel is kinda annoying, like when you tap home on Landscape.
yeah and the worst there is no nicely working TabUI for DMA2 (4.1.2) out there...
ive seen other note 20 ultra on youtube and their keyboard isnt like mine. note 10+ samsung keyboard is version 5.0.30.5 and note 20 ultra is version 5.1.00.69, can i just downgrade?
Oh snap. I don't like the new one at all.
In keyboard there may be ways to modify it.

You can access it with the gear icon on the keyboard.
You may be able to dail it in.
Or use APKexport to grab the old keyboard apk off the 10+ and transfer it.
I feel your pain; I hate using foriegn keyboards and pads. I like the stock 10+ keypad...
I use GBoard, but just just swapped back to Samsung Keyboard to see what you were talking about. My Samsung keyboard on my Note 20 Ultra looks like your Note 10+ keyboard.

It must some setting he changed. Here is my Note 10+ keyboard. The theme colors are different only because its the Star Wars Edition. The layout is identical to my Note 20 Ultra.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how the OP got his keyboard like that. I've gone through all my settings and can't find out how to add the "123" button he has.

I think I've seen that before... don't want to see again on my note.
It's possible if it's a carrier variant they mucked with the software or settings.
Or it learned a new trick on it's own.
My Edge tab just learned to jump from left to right... whatever, put it back.

He could try using the reset option in the keyboard settings or clearing the app data if that fails.
As always clearing the system cache can work miracles...

As much as I doubt the processor would affect it, that does seem to be the only difference between our units. So that may be it, just not sure WHY that would affect it.

I'll check it out.. the integration with the Note Phones, the S Pen and S Note is such a good formula.. these companies have to be constantly changing things, trying to maximise profit and customer retention... Ruining efficient work flows, trying to create the next big thing... and even when they create the next big thing: they can't let it be good for long. Only Apple seems to keep things on an even level.. but their way of doing things is just not the best way in the first place.

ColorNote stores them as encrypted word docs apparently.
At least you have easy access to the folder to transfer them. It also maintains an internet connection which I don't like...
