OK well I'm using the tablet UI for few day now and love it. But can't download half my stuff from the market, anyone know how I can get it? I did download a apk from internet and it worked so its just the market that won't let me.

I just use 160DPI, so most things that work on a tablet work (as 160 is standard DPI for tablets). I also found a phone.apk that works with 160DPI, I cannot find the thread anymore, but its out there (not in xda as i remember).

My problem is that the apps I download and use when its a standard android phone, I cannot download at all when its transformed into a tablet which I was hoping there was away around.

Try the market.apk shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543892
I personally prefer this method, DPI set to 192 as well as the modded Nova Launcher, but thats just me.

That would be because you put your DPI to 192 to transform it into tablet..android market doesn't like 192 DPI.put it down to 160 and use a phone.apk that works with 160. Look at the instructions you followed to get tablet UI you HAD to have put DPI to 192.

Awesome working now, thanks. Now I can play reckless racing 2.

I've been complaining about not having it for too long to not at least give it a chance. I've still got my Nexus 4 for the rooted stuff.
Used up my device limit so it doesn't work anyway. Have emailed Sky to complain and reset my limit for this month..... Lol

Isn't yours a 3g nexus? Because its the WiFi nexus that people are having the problems with. Whatsapp installs easily on the nexus 3g. Although I've got it installed on my wifi only n7 fairly easily a few times now, its not as difficult as some people are making out.

I tried to rename my tablet to "nexus 4" editing the buil.prop and it actually helped (a bit).It didn't say anymore that tablets aren't supported but it couldn't verify my number and I also couldn't type in a new one.

Are you able to flash via recovery or must you flash through LGNPST. Either way can you talk to synergye about posting it as is so we can have others start working on talk text and data.

Ad Blocker

Which ad blocker are you guys running on your Nexus 7? I'm running Adaway and it's not really working for my Nexus.
A lot of ads that I normally don't see on my phone, I always see on the Nexus.
Any advice?
I use Chrome browser if that matters.
