Some of you may have heard of tablet mode and if you have tried it you know well that it smashes your phone. Apps are small, their layout is screwed, things overlap, crash or stop working, Google Play forbids you to download, if you tried AOKP you cant even use launcher and phone. In short, it is a mess.
PARANOIDANDROID changed that. It does not "heal" tablet mode, it obliterates the boundaries. You define how big or small apps are, you define in which UI they display, no matter if your phone runs in tablet or phone mode, which also you can define. Customize every single entity on your phone, lockscreen, navigationbar, system-components, widgets, apps. If you prefer stay with your three bearpaw buttons + drop-down curtain or switch to a combined navigationbar + drop-up notificationcenter, enjoy Youtube in 3D, Gmail and settings in 2-columns, Chrome in its better mobile UI, etc. Nothing overlaps, nothing crashes, everything works as you'd expect. This is completely new ground and has never been realized before, it is lightyears from tablet mode.
We created it to establish the idea that tablet/hybrid mode can indeed work and that is was an error on Googles side to use the same layout for high resolution devices that is used on tiny little things like htc wildfire. We saw how badly build.prop tablet-mode was milked so we decided to remain closedsource until the codebase is mature enough to publish. Our first repos went public last week and the rest will follow soon, i will personally commit the hybrid sourcetree into CM9. Until then, do not ask us for sources, we have good reason to do it like this and when it's out people will know why, they will see something that works, not features for show. We are still fully open to ports. As long as they stay true to our vision and base on CM9.​
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TIPS AND TRICKS​
HOW TO INSTALL
-If you are on cm9 rom then you can install directly without wipe so that all your data will be safe but to remain on the safer side i suggest to do a complete wipe before flashing this rom
You need to wipe all things if you are come from any other rom except cm9
HOW TO APPLY ANY SIZE THEME FROM THEME CHOOSER(MDPI,HDPI,XHDPI,WVGA AND OTHERS)
-Download the theme you want and install it and then go settings\paranoid settings\hybrid settings\list of apps\all and select theme chooser and select a phone ui and lower the dpi from 160 if u want to apply bigger themes than mdpi and put dpi 160 if u want mdpi theme.hurray! now u can apply any theme on this rom.1st rom to feature this.thanks to darkknight for pointing it out.There are still many hidden facts.Maybe u can find one
SIZE ISSUE
-Some apps in tablet mod are too big to fit our screen like camera so change its ui to phone ui and also try to use some 3rd party lockscreen because the built in lockscreen a little unfit to our device.
you can change dpi of any apps so change it that you find suitable
HOW TO
*long press power button and select toggle statusbar to hide\unhide the statusbar.
*overclock or set the default governer to performance to have a better experience.
*check softkeys under paranoid settings to have softkeys on statusbar
*DON'T REDUCE THE DENSITY OF ANY APP LESS THAN 120 OR THE APP WILL FORCE CLOSE
*u can switch the ui from tablet ui to phone ui under paranoid settings\hybrid settings\list of apps\select app and change the ui and density\hit apply.u can change the density and ui of all system and downloaded apps here.
*report some major bugs and do leave some feedback
LIST OF APPS SUPPORTING TABLET UI Link
WARNING
-Do not disable both tablet ui and hybrid mode in paranoid settings or u may get a bootloop.
WHAT IS THIS ROM?
-It is a cm9 based rom having all features a cm9 rom can do plus some extra cool features added to it.this rom has some features that is just present in this rom like ability to apply any size theme in theme chooser,having bottom statusbar with real tablet ui,apps with tablet ui,navigation buttons that looks good on our screen and many more ,
HOW TO AGAIN ENABLE TABLET UI AGAIN ONCE YOU LOOSE IT BY DESELECTING TABLET UI AND REBOOTING
-Open up the any root explorer and go to system and mount system as read and write(r\w) and long press build prop and select open in text editor.now search for "ro.sf.lcd_density=120" and put 85 instead of 120 and save it and then reboot.now u will have your tablet ui back

Oops my bad
sry spaarc
I was only looking in CM settings
Okay well wow, what can I say. It is what it is...pure CM 7.1 2.3.5. Quite fast, but a little laggy while pulling down notification bar, and scrolling...maybe tweaks will be implemented later. Camera doesn't work like spaarc said. Haven't tested battery life yet...only a few minutes since install. If spaarc gets camera working on this...which he said he would in an update, then this will be a damn good ROM. FINALLY was waiting for a CM7 ROM that is purely CM7 with GB Launcher2. Hopefully unlike Z's this will not have tremendous battery drain. Only time will tell.
Thank you spaarc.
Your boot logo is freaking awesome. I don't know if this is on purpose but I don't like the white lines that go halfway around the trojan man. Personally it should just be him without any border. But nonetheless, nice.
EDIT: After installing DoomKernel 4a the ROM is quite quicker as expected and more responsive but still a little slow when scrolling settings, app drawer and what not. Dialer a little slow to respond after button press...this was an issue in most CM7 ROMs.
Drop in spare parts apk, set windows n transitions to fast, will cover sum lags, possibly set dalvik start cache to 8 and run cache to 48 too.
Best regards,
Chris

I'll try to update everyday
sent from my Android powered smart phone
Hey, today's my free day. Gotta try this out in a few minutes. Will report back!
Battery life on this ROM is, as Mr.Burns would say, "EXXXCEEELLLEENT".
First bug...got WLOD on browser...was browsing, then closed it...opened it again and started typing and WLOD.
I am not sure but it seems that if press the back button out of the browser...and open it again it doesn't reload the page...which it should do?
It seems as if the home button and back button do the same thing when dealing with the browser. With everything else it works fine.
UPDATE EVERYDAY?!...I don't know if I can handle that much awesomness everyday...haha.
EDIT: Just typed something in the search bar and backed out of browser...when I open it again it SHOULD just so a blank search bar...but it shows what I typed in. So it isn't closing the app...just "minimizing it". Back out of Market and open it everything reloads and search bar is blank.

[ROM][UCLF6][Friday the 13th] The Hybrid RCVII is LIVE .

Tips​​
You can Use Google Gallery to play Videos (its the aosp video player)
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY (SUDDEN) PROBLEMS WITH ANY APPS
THAT FC or misbehave like market does sometimes... DO THE FOLLOWING:
Open settings go to applications/all clear the application 's data and its provider 's or googleframeworksomething* then REBOOT
On Rogers getting poor LTE speed ?
Open Dialer : Type *#2263# and Select "[4] LTE Band Preference" then "[7] LTE ALL". hit home button not back , return and set it to automatic . test speeds . please note you can NOT access this using the AOSP dialer
Wanan remove the minipanel (arrow in the status bar )
Basically it just involves deleting these:
Any apps in System/app that has "Mini" in its name (Including minimode-res.apk).
Next remove System/framework/minimode.jar
Now the miniapps should be completely removed from your system after a reboot including the program that opens them and the arrow on the system bar. If you would like them back just reflash your current ROM or restore the backup THAT YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE!
Known Issues​​
Tab2 launcher only works in tablet mode (seclauncher)
Connection icons dont get colored when connected to google servers .
Cant change lockscreen wallpaper
Some cosmetic bugs with system ui in different dpi .
Stock application will FC in tablet mode : 'hitting back when in in the Accounts and Sync menu' , Calendar , Browser and contacts (maybe more )
The quickpanel only has 3 apps working (out of 5 that will show ) :
_ Mini Music doesnt scan for any music (not sure why) so its useless its still there in case someone wants to try and fix it ...
_ in the quick panel Videos will FC , as its not a mini app I have no idea why you can see it there, you can just remove it manually.

The Hybrid 's goal is :​​
To be like TW ICS should have been on our note , meaning its full phone mode stability and all the nice features we are use to in previous Gingerberead rom, this means you can run the phoen in normal mode , all the stuff you are use to will be there while unleashing the full potential of it's half tablet look , let's face it the NOTE is big enough to be used as a tablet . hence this rom' s name , ' The Hybrid ' .
The Picture in the op is click-able link , this will always be the full standalone version , it will NOT wipe your phone
Since XDA-app / Tapatalk users cant click links in picture s the same link is duplicated where it says ==> THE HYBRID <== . this will always be the latest full base .
For users already running previous versions of the hybrid there is a 'non wipe link right under the picture . this is only if you were running the previous Version of the Hybrid and is genreally just an update l of course if there s no update then no link will be there
​
APP per dpi explained​​
With the new mod you need to change the dpi you wanna use in the build prop but you also need to match it for the keyboards and others inside hyb.prop otherwise it will not work well, just look at the zip attached in the OP and you will see how I did it .
To add more apps to have there own customized dpi :
take the facebook application.. its name inside of data/app folder would be facebook.katana-1.apk
so in order to have it run its own custom dpi you would type
pa.com.facebook.katana.dd=260
260 = the dpi you want it to use .
No reboot needed just force close the application and voila (via applications menu)
Play with it and try to make it work and post your pad.prop and results .[/B]
additional info thx to rsalib :
Here are some Hybrid instructions with the new pad.prop:
I have found it easier to run tablet UI and push apps to higher than 213 to make them look like normal phone apps and keep whatever works tablet mode untouched. You also have the option to use Phone UI and force apps the apps that have a tablet UI into DPI 213 and under.
The build.prop and pad.prop work as a team.
The line in build.prop:
# for 480x800 panel
ro.sf.lcd_density=
decides if your phone is going to be base tablet or base phone.
-if you put 213 or lower it will be base tablet with the fancy buttons at the bottom of the screen and the pop notification from the lower right.
-if you put 214 or higher it will be base phone with the normal phone look
if you want tablet UI with forcing phone into apps that do not have a tablet UI or look weird in tablethow i do it)
build.prop line should be 213
pad.prop:
pa.system_default_dpi=213
pa.user_default_dpi=(whatever you want, just remember the bigger you go, the harder it is to see text on tablet UI apps)
If you want Phone UI with forcing apps with tablet UI into tablet mode
build.prop line should be 214 or higher
pad.prop:
pa.system_default_dpi=213(this make the status bar and fonts really small)
pa.user_default_dpi=(again, whatever you want, but the bigger you go the harder it is to see text in tablet UI apps)
AND AND AND AND AND
you have to put the apps that have tablet UI into /system/app folder

Add-ons explained :​​
Aosp kit AOSP app replacement like its name says .....
Stock TW revert : (to revert from the aosp app kit )

lf6_No_Volume_Wake.zip : pretty much
LF6_Hybrid_213.zip : enable tablet
LF6_Hybrid_320.zip : back to Phone mod

How to install​​
Important INFO
0_ Rom is NON wipe, you dont have to wipe anymore, you can do a manual wipe if you want , if you do so, some apps will be auto-installed at first boot . if you encounter any problems WIPE FIRST ask questions LATER.
1_ If you have apps already installed to your sdcard (and you dont want to wipe manually) move them to internal before flashing the rom
2_flash base rom it WILL auto reboot .
3_Rom boots in Phone UI mode the first time .
4_you can reboot to recovery (using power menu) to enable tablet mode or flash the addons you 'd like
5_ When you restore (using titanium backup) go in preference and make sure to tell titanium back up to restore to internal sdcard ONLY
6_3_ DO NOT INSTALL APPS TO EXTERNAL SDCARD ===> this is a bug with the early app per dpi mod (the en we are using). if you do you will regret it , and watch out Google play Store installs some applications to the Ext Sdcard by default .., the best thing to do to avoid that is unmount your sdcard before installing new apps , also changing the default install location (of market) via Rom Toolbox might help .
Good to go !!!!

Yes. But keep in mind that it will reformat your internal SD partition, so if there's anything you need off there, copy it to your PC or external SD before flashing the rom.

Similar question--since the leaked ICS is I717-based, this is ATT-based?
Thanks.

Do you know which Devs are working on a T-Mobile Modem for this? It would be nice to know if I should wait or try back tomorrow.
OK so how to install? I'm on saurom! Full wipe then flash or revert to stock?

The most common ‘solution’ I’ve seen is to completely remove your Google account, and re-add it.

This rom, entitled MiniCM9, is ported from LG Pecan (Optimus Me/P350) which I believe is smoother than current CM9 nightly build while also provide extra settings. I ported this because I wanted an up-to-date version of CM9 which has minimal bugs and doesn't have unnecessary apps that will slowing it down, so this is CM9.1 with many apps removed which you won't miss.​

MiniCM9 Theme:​
MiniCM9 theme, is the valid successor for MiniCM6 and MiniCM7 legacy.
It is designed as close as possible to the original specs of ICS, in order to be a lightweight, beautiful alternative to the stock theme. However it is tweaked in several parts of the UI, in order to fit better to our small device's screen.

Yes u can.
Dude i tried this ROM, and noticed two great things, super smooth, and light. But there are 2 other things i'd like to say. First of all, why is the color light blue? Even the Play Store icon looks light blue, instead of the original. Is it some graphic bug or the rom is like that? Please tell me how to fix it. Second, the keyboard is too large. It occupies half of the screen, and looks odd. Can that be fixed too, but that is not much of a problem.
Also I'd like to say, what is Swap feature in Performance settings? How does it work and what are the optimal settings? And what is that "Undervolt GPU" feature?
Installed succefull!
I installed this ROM and It's working very smooth!
One question: does it has not support for other languanges than English? how to install language pack?
Cheers!

Please use google to search about swap on linux. I can't explain here as it will be off topic and too lengthy.
currently stuck with jc v6 as its my daily driver Cant move on easily ! Next rom change would be this for sure Will be waiting
I am very happy with this rom finally i can use ics fast as stock gingerbread.
Great!! i'll try this one Thank you Andwie, i really love all your roms!
Someone please clarify this for me if I don't want SD merge I should just flash the ROM as usual right? I just want the ROM without the SD merge
GAPPs?
1.) Is this ROM has GAPPs pre-installed?
If YES, can you create one which has no GAPPs...?
If NO, Nice :good:
2.) Is it Non-SDMerg User Accessible? Or just like JCv6 (which is for SDMerg user only)
Cause I'm not a SDMerg user (Can't see why you should, since there's Link2SD. Your arguments are invalid )
3.) Can I use my Modded System Applications (SystemUI.apk, framework.jar, Settings.apk) from my Stock CM9-20130929 and push it within MiniCM9?
4.) Can you kindly share what files did you trimmed to make it a ~75MB-sized ROM? I'm just curious...
5.) I like to make my own Theme App as a System-Default Theme. How can I do that? Or if ever so, where's the directory for it?
6.) Thanks a lot for the New ROM. Will try it soon, since I can't use it as of now (random issues)... And also thanks if you would answer my Qs
Great ROM.Only a bit of lag in dialer when not used for a while

I could not find a way to close that. Screen is not really big anyway. This letter covers the screen for nothing
Thanks for this awesome ROM. I've been using it since it's been posted here and I just love it.
The only thing that doesn't belong there is that text from the notification bar.
I noticed that a feature from the settings doesn't work and that's the "slider torch". Instead of repairing that you should replace it with a different option. It would be cool to have 2 options to turn the torch on : -1- "tap the unlock slider twice to turn the torch on/off" (but without keeping it pressed). You just tap the slider twice to turn it on or off. -2- "keep the power button pressed to turn the torch on". It would be awesome if you did that. When you're in a hurry and try to find something quickly and it's dark.you just keep the power button pressed and the torch turns on. Or tap it twice, toggle the torch on and search for things without keeping the phone in your hands while it makes light for you.
I love the scrolling adjustment feature. Our Ace 2 is not a very powerful phone so it lags all the time when you scroll up or down in settings, gmail, the stock email app. etc, but with this I managed to reduce the lags with ~75%, which is great. It's nice to have a smooth experience on a phone.
Anyway, thanks and hope you read my comment.
You know about Settings/C-Tool/Lockscreen/Long press Home button/Flashlight ? For me its always the best option for fast turning on/off torch when i need this.

It's a bit uncomfortable to long press the home button to turn the flashlight on while looking for something. You could easily drop the phone. If you long press the power button instead, it's easier and a lot safer because you have a better grip.
I really love this ROM, it's the best out here and I'm not gonna change it for nothing even if you add the options I asked in the previous comment or not. You did an awesome job. Though, maybe you'll change your mind and add those options.
Hey PolishVodka, do you have any idea how I could change the stock KitKat theme from black to white? You know , like an inverted version of the stock theme?
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
Its easy to change (if you're talking about something like white background in Settings), but for solid white is necessery to change font and icon colors from white to black, something like silver metal background its pretty easy to change. Just enough is changing one .png in framework-res.apk, do not decompile/unpacking framework-res, just open it via 7zip (like archive), go to res/drawable-nodpi. Now replace background_holo_dark.png with your favorite (better not solid white because fonts are white, you know..) image (must be in .png format and named background_holo_dark.png too). Resolution should you use 512x512 pix like original.
After done, just swap thats framework-res.apk from original to yours and reboot phone.

Thank you very much. I did exactly as you told me and I changed the settings background. I couldn't believe it was that simple. But of course it's piece of cake only when you have the instructions given by someone who know this kind of stuff.
I suppose it's much difficult to make the background white and the writing black. I noticed that in the "drawable nodpi" folder was a dark background. which I changed with another one, and underneath it was "background_holo_light". I thought this second one was the font for the writing but I was wrong and of course I made everything not readable anymore (white letters on a white background).
But thank you very much. You're awesome.
Hey PolishVodka, do you have any idea why the official YouTube app doesn't play HD videos on my phone? I press on HQ, so it should be playing high res videos but the quality is still not good at all. Everything looks blurry and it's very annoying. It's not happening specifically on your ROM, I experienced it on other ROMs too, even on those ROMs that say in the feature list "YouTube HQ". I ended up using a modded YouTube app but I wish I could use the official one, if it worked as it should.
Youtube app is bugged for custom kernels, use Supertube and you will be fine

Thanks man. This app is way much better than the YouTube app. But just so you know, the official YouTube app didn't play HD even on the stock GingerBread or Jelly Bean as well. I tried that and it still didn't play HD videos. And I let the stock ROM untouched. I didn't root the phone or changed the kernel. But now you just told me about a super cool app and I love the fact that it lets watch videos in background mode, so I'm prettyhappy. Thanks again !
Rom is updated to 5.9 version + today's CM11 kernel if someone is interesting.
And clean install is really necessary!
