So GMD Gesture allows you to program custom gestures into the tablet to the extent of "Swipe two fingers down and it enables the sound slider" I'm looking for a persistent (and invisible) replacement to the slider. The onscreen power up/down buttons are only single push. Meaning you can't hold them down and get a continuous "volume up" or "volume down" execution. I want to proportionally scale where my fingers are, relative to where they began on a vertical orientation, in order to change my volume. Nothing exists, as far as I know, that would allow for such an application.
As for the Timur's Mod... I am using Timur's USB Kernel which allows 1800 rapid charging. On my 30ish minute commute to work, I gain 3% battery life in the tablet and I show a 1% drop in power overnight. BUT, when I am running Torque, I show a 2% DROP in power during my commute. I am shopping around for less power intensive OBDII interface applications.
The dash panel was custom. I sent in both of my bezel units and my programmed Nexus7 to JPM Coachworks, and they returned to me this beautiful setup. Prior to sending my tablet, I had all the programming done, I moved the micro-usb port to the back of the tablet, and I cut off the audio jack from the micro-usb ribbon (no need since I use a DAC). I opened up the back, pulled off the battery, unscrewed the assembly holding the usb/audio plugs down, bent them back to the outside of the tablet, used a dremel to make a little bit of space on the case, and just taped it down to the back of the case. I glued a nickel to the back of the case, and then the micro-usb plug to the top of the nickel to account for the size of the plug. I'll pull it out in the next day or so to post some good quality pictures.
