Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners, there is some good news for you – with the help of RootzWiki, you can now make your Galaxy Nexus screen appear even bigger than it already is. What the mod on the forum has done is that he created a flashable .zip file to trick your phone’s ROM and make it believe that your Galaxy Nexus is actually a tablet.
So now instead of having the typical status bar up top and the navigation bar at the bottom of your Galaxy Nexus screen, you will be able to have the exact same layout as any Android tablet. Respectively, the navigation buttons and the status bar will be located to the bottom, while the app drawer and Google search will be moved up to the top. This means that you will have more room to place apps on your Galaxy Nexus home screen. Of course this would be more rational if it was in landscape mode, but actually, the portrait mode looks pretty good too.
Even now there is a large list of the ROMs that are compatible with the flashable .zip file that transforms your smartphone into a tablet within minutes, and even more are to come. If you already use any of the more prevalent Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs you will be delighted to see that it is almost certainly supported. All you need to get started is a simple flash over your current ROM and that’s it, you’re in a tablet mode! What the developer strives to achieve is the solution that enables turning of the tablet mode with a simple reboot.
This is a great idea, simplifying switching process. However, those who already tried the tablet mode on their devices have had experiencing some issues. So when you’re ready to check it out, follow the instructions provided in the original thread. Wish you lucky browsing with your new 4.65 inch tablet!
