In the previous article, we have Nexus 4's game ideas We have made relevant introductions, and today we will introduce some experience of playing the Nexus 10, Android's strongest "pro son" tablet. Although it is still difficult to buy the Nexus 10, we might as well learn how to play the Nexus 10 first, and how it differs from previous Android tablets.

The general idea of playing on your son's tablet and mobile phone is the same. Please refer to Unlock BL → Brush Recovery → ROOT or unlock BL → Brush Recovery → Brush ROM Play with Nexus 10 in this order.

Unlock BL

Unlocking the BL (Bootloader) lock is the first step to play with the Nexus series. If you do not unlock the BL lock, many functions cannot be played, including fastboot and recovery, let alone third-party ROMs. Therefore, unlocking the BL lock becomes a top priority. It is not difficult to unlock the BL lock. It is not as cumbersome as some HTC and MOTO computers. We can easily unlock the BL lock by turning the machine into the fastboot mode and using the corresponding tools. Let's briefly describe the process.

First, we will introduce the tools related to BL lock unlocking and recovery. The Chinese version of Nexus 10 Toolkit is used here, and its functions are very powerful, as shown in the figure.

Press the power on, volume+and volume - buttons at the same time in the shutdown state, and release the button after the fastboot screen appears. As shown in the figure, "LOCKED" is displayed before unlocking.

Unlock the Nexus 10 through the unlocking function of the Chinese version of the Nexus 10 Toolkit.

After successful unlocking, Note the LOCK STATE status.

There is one place to pay special attention to when unlocking, Many tutorials mention "volume - press the power button at the same time" , this operation is correct, and you will indeed enter an interface similar to fastboot, However, in fact, the function of fastboot cannot be used in this interface, nor can you select to enter Recovery and shut down through the volume key. Special attention should be paid here.

Brush in Recovery

Then use the Nexus 10 Toolkit to import Recovery. CWM and TWRP are mainly suitable for Nexus 10. TWRP is used here.

Recovery renderings.

This Recovery also has a very powerful function, That is to use the OTG of Nexus 10 to directly brush the machine , as long as the OTG is connected to the USB flash disk, it can be flushed into the USB flash disk, which is very convenient, If there is no brush package for the machine body and the system cannot be accessed, this function can be used widely（ Nexus 4: No wonder I forced it so hard ）。

Brush in the third-party ROM and return you a real "Android tablet"

Before Nexus 10 evaluation In, the author mentioned many questions about Nexus 10. One of them is that the system UI of Nexus 10 is very strange. It is actually presented in the form of a mobile phone. The virtual key is placed in the middle and has a drop-down bar. In addition, there are software compatibility problems. Among them, Weibo HD has the biggest problem, the icons are misplaced, and only half of the pages can be displayed. But after brushing the third-party ROM, you can change the UI layout of the system and change the dpi to achieve the purpose of changing the software menu layout. Let's take a look at the subtle changes in the whole system after the third-party ROM is changed to the tablet UI.

Here is the background of dpi, which is the number of pixels per inch. As the name implies, the high dpi mode will make icons and some UI elements appear larger. In the case of Nexus 10, some software dislocation can be solved by reducing the dpi.

This is the effect picture after the third-party ROM has changed the tablet UI. The most obvious change is that the title bar has disappeared. This can give us a broader view. The time bar has reached the lower right corner, and the three virtual keys that many netizens have tangled with have moved to the lower left corner, which has really become an "Android tablet".

Nexus 10 native UI layout.

The default dpi setting of the system includes three UI options: mobile phone, Phablet (tablet phone) and tablet.

The effects of the three UIs are different.

The dpi of each software can be set separately, which is very practical.

Let's set the dpi of Weibo HD separately.

In the previous Nexus 10 evaluation, micro blog HD was misaligned.

Now, by changing the dpi of Weibo HD, the interface layout of Weibo is basically normal, but it is still a little small in terms of text and some icons.

Now let's take a look at some other changes of the system after the change of dpi. Setting the interface makes more use of the space.

The original two pull-down bars of the Nexus 10 have been replaced by two menus at the lower right corner of the taskbar, which need to be switched back and forth.

Changing the way dpi plays is not unique to Nexus 10. Many mobile phones and tablets have this function when they are swiped into third-party ROMs. This function is very useful for high-definition tablets, which can solve some software dislocation and stretching problems.

OTG

An important function of the Nexus 10 is OTG, which is particularly important for a flat panel that cannot expand its capacity through the tf card. Through OTG, you can read files on a USB stick or even on a hard disk. In actual measurement, Nexus 10 can support various USB devices such as mouse, keyboard, USB flash disk and hard disk. However, it is a pity that the supported hard disks cannot use the NTFS file system, that is, a single file cannot exceed 4G. This is a pity for the Nexus 10, because the Nexus 10's ultra-high resolution screen is the best way to play full HD video. I hope that third-party ROMs can open support for this in the future.

In addition to some conventional USB devices, The author believes that Nexus 10 has another important application mode, that is, it is used with cameras The resolution of 2560 * 1600 can basically meet the purpose of viewing photos taken by some cameras. At the same time, with some software, you can fine tune the pictures in real time and share them online.

The third-party ROMs of Nexus series are the source of their competitiveness. The functions of various third-party ROMs are very powerful, and various personalized and practical functions emerge in endlessly. Here are two examples.

Transparent lock screen interface, you can see the task interface in front of the lock screen.

Full screen display and hide the navigation bar to achieve the purpose of full screen display, It is useful for playing games and surfing the Internet.

The real son Nexus series is still worth tossing about. It can be kept in the latest system version for a long time. The ROMs of AOSP, AOKP and other series also give it super playability. As players, what we need to do is to work hard to explore its potential, combine our own actual needs, and better show the charm of the Nexus series.
