Like many people, I like to use the note10.1 in portrait mode( most of the time )
In most of the phone devices, its possible to enable tablet mode by changing build.ro or other ways
However in tablets there is no way that I know of to enable the phone UI
Any developer willing to help with getting phone UI in our note 10.1
This would put the status bar on top and more notifications can be seen.
Thanks in advance

PS: In android 5 the default UI is going to be this phone UI and in Ipad too... So I am not the only person who thinks this UI might actually be better
You meant unlike many..because i bought me a tablet not a phone if i wanted phone ui i would have got one.. also you could try a CM based Rom.. some can be used in phone mode..But ill look into the phone mode on a stock based rom later.. .. and this is in the wrong section.. needs to be in Q&A

Unfortunately there is no phone that has a screen size of 10.1 inch and has pen input
ASOP based have phone UI but then I miss the whole reason of getting galaxy note which is many pen features and TW features.
Thanks for looking into it. Hopefully someone can crack this
The Note 10.1 is using 160 dpi which correspond to tablet UI. If you want phablet or phone UI then change your density to 178 or higher. Install build prop editor in Play Store and change ro.sf.lcd_density from 160 to at least 178. You could try higher values. Then add another property qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0. Reboot and see if it works.

I think Apex Launcher has a phone UI mode. You can try different launchers on the market until u find one.
Ok so I tried phone and phablet mode but keep getting systemui errors.. I have to look into it some more but for now its not gonna work..

I tried that to befote but did not work. It would have been easy that way but seems more complicated.

@txtmikhail any updates ?
I love the phablet mode of my nexus much better then the tablet mode. Love the dual notification thing at the top. But with touchwiz on the note it would not be good idea messing with frame work. Will cause more issues then benefits.
Same issue I have wifi only but want to use built in sip stack and phone and contacts to make sip Calls....why don't they allow this.

Hi guys!
Recently i switched my tf101 from eos3 to eos4 (i did it after TeamEOS introduced tablet ui mode) and i stuck with "phablet" UI of stock launcher itself. I tried to replace launcher2.apk from 4.2 with apk from 4.1 but all i got was force closes =(
Are there any means to set 4.2 stock launcher to tablet UI or install 4.1 stock launcher?
p.s i know about Apex and Nova launchers, but they all have small annoying flaws.
As far as I know, it's not possible without modifying the apk package. You can give it a shot, there's some decompilers available, but it was beyond my coding skills and time I was willing to invest. The launcher is usually tied with the version of android due to lots of differences in the code in major versions, so I'm assuming modifications needed to work properly are extensive... but I could be wrong.

Thank you for your suggestions.
TeamEOS 4 #116 ROM has returned the Tablet bar style launcher like 4.1 had, you just change to "Tablet bar" in settings

Hey guys,
I'm using an LCD density of 360 on my Nexus 5 by ending the build.prop, this feels comfortable for my use and I'd like to keep it that way. BUT I sorely miss not having phablet ui. Is there a setting I need to be using to change my SystemUI to a particular dpi to switch everything to Phablet UI while still keeping the overall LCD density to 360? I'm using the "App Settings" module in Xposed and have tried just about everything but can't get the Phablet UI to engage. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

There are 2 things we need to discuss.
1) System UI layout change to Tablet mode or Phablet mode UI. This changes the layout of the Nav Bar, Status bar and Notification area. Google removed this function. There is no way to get it back.
2) Triggered Tablet layout of specific apps. Developers of apps may wish to change the layout of their apps for a tablet. More screen real estate can mean there are better layouts than used for the phone. The only reliable trigger that a developer can use is dpi.
The bigger screen at the same resolution will have a lower dpi than a smaller screen at the same resolution. We can trigger tablet layout in apps by forcing the dpi down system wide using the build.prop. However, different developers will be triggered by different dpi's meaning you may need a dpi so low you cant see it on your small screen before some apps trigger.
You can use the Xposed module named "app settings" to actually change the layout of individual apps to tablet layout. So for example, you can set Chrome to be tablet layout without changing the dpi of the system or tha app itself. That's the only option though. Not all apps have a tablet mode.

For phablet ui, read point 1.
That screenshot is not phablet ui. Its just a lower dpi.
To lower dpi, either do it system wide using build prop or with xposed module "app settings", set dpi for systemui lower. Say maybe 300.

I thought Google only removed TableUI, but PhabletUI still exists. I could be wrong though.

Maybe I don't know. My understanding was there was 1 UI now. Maybe you need to ask someone in PA team
IF it does exist, there's no way to get it... Unless PA can do it.
I have tried a few ROMS and they are all set in a phone UI
Are there any other than original that are set up as a tablet and not a phone button UI?
Is there any easy way to switch layouts?

Thanks for all the newbie help...not
Anyway I am trying Pacman 4.2.2 using the PA Tablet UI layout which seems ok.
Yeah I'm having a hard time finding tablet roms as well... This is the only source I can find: http://www.tabletroms.com/index.php/category/roms/ Still not promising though.
I would recommend using a custom launcher, like Go Launcher. Within it you can find thousands of different themes, some specific to tablets. Personally I use Next Launcher 3D, it's based off Go but it's 3D stuff is amazing. I use the Ray theme.
Best luck,

You may switch ui mods with xposed on almost any rom
Well,I have some tips for you to...Modify or Make your phone looks better without flash a new ROM.
First of all,You need something:
Your device,I don't care what is it,Even a microwave.
Root(In order to modify something)
*Custom Recovery(That could help you root,too.)
(*Required root)
*Xposed Framework(Something can make your notification bar transparent,Mostly work on Samsung Phones[4.1.2+].)
*If you're a LG phone,You can use the app "Smartworld"..Browse and download themes you like.
So let get started.
#1:Nova Launcher+icons will be best choice for non-rooting and keeping your warranty's choice.
Also,Nova Launcher got performance on some bad spec phone like Single Core + 512MB RAM,Still can run smoothly.(Tested on S7392)
*Transparented notification bar available,But only the launcher,not in app.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
So,Xposed+XTweakbox will be your choice(Not work on some phone like...Notification bar not included in launcher.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So make sure you have a custom recovery before you do it.Because when the framework not compatible your device,You will stuck in a Bootloop...And if you don't ever heard what is bootloop,Leave this choice alone.:fingers-crossed:And i heard of safe mode in android could disable xposed framework,If you have a bootloop,try and comment down here..
Xposed can do many things,Like as i said above,Changing notification bar's color,Even set it as transparent...
Changing the signal thing's bar to 4-6...G-Touchwiz....etc

You can use xuimod for change the transitions
The easiest way is to Flash a custom ROM on your device with the new CM11 Theme Engine inside and then you´re able to apply icons packs , styles , keyboard styles , notification bar styles , quick settings styles , system settings app themed , fonts , lockscreens , sounds , wallpapers , whatsapp themed and much more!
I´m using ACIP ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S2 !
But i will get in 2-3 months my brand new LG G3 !
Gravity box, is the best module of xposed for personalice de phone

I agree with this. Seems easier and more functional to flash a custom ROM if youre going to all that trouble.
Good walk through though.

Why no one use Trebuchet Launcher ?
I use texdroider_dpi to change to 220dpi. Every launcher looks greater.
@brian0305
I use trebuchet launcher
Whenever you look to the stars, think of one of them as my soul.
I use nova on all my Android devices, has all the features I desire to modify my user experience as far as home screens are concerned. Xposed +Wanam gives me the ability to color what all black changes to a more grey theme.

@Veyne I use nova also on all my devices when there is no theme engine available in my custom roms.
But styling using theme engine is much better than ordinairy nova / go launcher themes .
Because theme engine will also change settings UI keyboard UI
And much more like bootanimation

There is a new launcher called SOLO LAUNCHER. It features the tap twice to switch off the screen and Google now! looks similar to S5 theme!
Hit thanks if found helpful!
