Xfce4 is pretty usable on Nokia N900, Nexus 7 2013.

Installation

  • pmbootstrap init
  • User interface: xfce4
  • Extra packages: xf86-video-vesa mesa-egl

Calibrate the touchscreen

If you rotate the screen change/add a value in this file:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/90-android-touch-dev.rules
ENV{ID_INPUT}="1", ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN}="1", \
# default			ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="1 0 0 0 1 0"
# Left - 90 degree clockwise	ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="0 -1 1 1 0 0"
# 180 degree clockwise		ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="-1 0 1 0 -1 1"
# Right - 270 degree clockwise	ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="0 1 0 -1 0 1"
# reflect along y axis		ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="-1 0 1 1 0 0"


applications| settings| windowmanager Default-xhdpi Font ... 16?

settings|panels, panel1, hide panel inteligently, 53 pixels. settings|panels, panel2, hide panel inteligently.

With configuration above, you get this. Only obvious problem is waste of space at top of the screen.

Simple status window without decorations can be put there. Plan is to display battery / signal status there:
