way to trick apps to think the phone is a tablet? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

it's there a way to trick apps to think this phone is a tablet?
like "log me in ignition" has a way better interface in tablets than on phones which would work on this phone well... I'm just wondering if there is a way to make the app think this is a tablet?
would also help in other apps... not going to make a list

I'm sure you could root and edit the build prop to make the play store think it's a tablet

wouldn't build.prop edit break other things like wallet (when we get it)?

you can change the build.prop lines that say ro.sf.lcd_density to whatever you you want. 160 is wayyy too small and the status bar will FC on you. I'm trying 240 right now. Everything seems good so far, but this may cause issues with apps or the Play Store down the road.
You must be rooted to change these values. Also, there are 2 places that you have to change this value. Why? No idea. There shouldn't need to be more than 1 entry for LCD density in the build.prop. so change both, save, and reboot.

so I gather apps read of off dpi not the name of your phone to guess wether you are a tablet or not

Yes, that's part of it. Apps read off that, Play Store uses the "fingerprint" in build.prop as well

I'd like to revisit this question. I used Titanium Backup to get a copy of the apk from my tablet. Any suggestions on how to get the Note II to take the apk? Is there a setting on the phone that I can change or do I need to modify the apk?
Thanks

Viper,
I've been attempting to do the 240dpi mod and never really succeeded. If you'd be kind enough to sort of write a step-by-step instruction you'd definitely help a brotha out!
Thanks

The paranoid hybrid Rom gives way to adjusting each individual app to the size you want it and ability to phablet/tablet etc..

The DPI change really turns this phone from great to amazing.
Here is a walkthrough on how to change the dpi: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993530
Keep in mind that it will mess some of your stock apps up since they aren't made for the resolution. You can either install other programs to use in place of the stock ones or you can flash these resized stock ones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001143
Good luck on it and be sure to nandroid backup before you do anything. Also be sure to hit the "thanks" button to the OP's on those links. Without them, our phones wouldn't nearly look as good =)

Is there a way to do this without root because uh, I don't want to sound like a noob but I have a zoppo zp998 and its a Chinese phone, and other is no help out there to root it because not many people know what they are. I can't work out how to do it myself because in recovery mode everything is written in Chinese. The screen is 5.5" and I think this tricking it into thinking it's a tablet would be a great way to get full use out of the screen, problem it is I also can't flash a ROM or boot a tablet kernel because of the whole Chinese thing..

but it's too bad you are unable to change the word colors...

I was also wondering if you are going to keep improving this theme, or this is it?
i would want to learn how to do what you did.
is there a tutorials on how to do it?

There is a great tutorial in the android section under themes. The font color requires an xml edit tat would probably change more than what you want and cause other text to be difficult to or impossible to read without other modifications that i don't know how to do.

couldn't the problem be solved if you use the full system UI zip of the korean version as a reference?
oh, and i just realized, that there is a whole button dedicated to voice mail itself!! lol
also, i think i edited my last reply too late and think you didn't see me asking if you were going edit this more?
hey, i just realized there is a small bug when recieving calls.
the pulling menu images doesn't have any colors, and the words are cut off.
I think Im going to be done with this for now. But you should pick it up and port the whole theme. Would be a great start in learning how to theme. Pm me if you have any theming questions and ill help you out where i can.

Ive been working on this for like 2 hours, and this is what i came up with.
changed back the bottom button icons to give more simple look
i'm loving this theme!
but i still cannot manage to deal with the dialer in horizontal mode...
everything is off the grid...
but who uses dialer horizontally anyway?..... right?
maybe i'll try to fix it when i get better at theming...
what do you think?
oh, by the way, RobZarzecki,
i'm korean anyway, r u trying to get into porting this theme ?
or anyone, doesnt matter...

I believe this is heavily based on CM9 therefore flashing Eugene's kernel is the only way to make that script work unless eugene figured out how to do it without through his kernel X_x. You can test it for us and be guinea pig

No, I'm running it on 4.1.2 just fine, it works with the SixAxis controllers (PS3), all the buttons appear to be already mapped and the on-screen touch buttons vanish when using it.
I will absolutely be buying this when it comes out. It plays just like the original and looks awesome on the Note 2.

What tells you? If it's the market it's because Rockstar hasn't released a version compatible with our device yet. There's plenty of sites that host the the .apk + data with the xapk issue removed, root not necessary, just create an obb folder in android/data on your internal sdcard, paste the data portion in there (obb folder you created) and you're good to go....google it and you'll find it pretty fast.

I wonder if they're delaying it for the note 2 possibly because they might make an application for it to be better i think graphically wise.
If you think about it it just makes sense I mean the Galaxy Nexus is in no way compared to the note 2 I honestly think a note 2 would be able to blow it out of proportion graphically. That's just my 2 cents

Paste the actual directory WITH the data file into the obb directroy not just the data file itself. It need to be in the com.rockstar... directory within the obb directory.
Im trying to buy the game but the app store says tha the galaxy note 2 isn't compatible. But when you read the app description, the note 2 is in the list of the compatible phones...
I bought it by changing the build prop, rebooting, then purchasing it in the play store. After the install and verified it worked I changed my build prop back.
Paste the obb folder after you install the game

Aren't there already modded DPI play stores in various threads here on XDA? I mean, I fully respect the desire to do it oneself; but when the fix already exists and all....

They are modded to whatever DPI they feel like. I like doing specifically for each device i have to match with the stock DPI set by manufacturer.

Oh, I didn't think they were modded to work on a certain DPI.
Also, are you talking about making the play store itself show a different DPI other than the system DPI or are you talking about the fact that some apps will show as invalid when system DPI is changed to something other than the manufacturer default? Because I was thinking the latter; and the modded play stores I've used in the past have fixed that problem.

Yes to the second part. If you change your DPI, some apps will say incompatible. And if you, say, change to 320 (a default android DPI) and you want to download something that uses our 1080p screen, say an HD game or something, it will more than likely come up as not compatible.
Where as, a modded market with our stock 480?( i think ) it will show as compatible.
Which is exactly why I would be interested in learning how to do it...

[MOD] Allow any font to be used

Okay, so i have been playing around with fonts lately, and i noticed that you can "download fonts online" but when you would go into display settings to apply it, it told you "this font is not available" then why the heck would you let me download it!? xD
There are other options like iFont and such which allow you to change the font. Well i don't like using apps for something the system can do. So i modded the Settings apk to allow all fonts to be used
Just flash in recovery, download any font, and use settings apk to apply it Works perfectly. Now you get to use all those free fonts
Enjoy!

Nice find bro.. will test it and confirm back..
Yea that is annoying. But does a modded settings apk affect anything?

The zip file is 55.61 MB lol I would rather use ifont then delete it once I change the font, but thanks for your work! Gonna give it a try on my next flash :good:

No nothing else is touched. Just the font option.

Well yeah. Go look how large the settings apk is. That's why it's 50 megs. It's one download, one flash. No messing with stupid ads and third party crap it's much better than iFont

No way! Don't flash it! definite boot loop! xD I don't think aosp supports fonts natively. Gonna have to use iFont or something similar . I use a self modded iFont apk for my tablet.

I have been using both ifont and rom toolbox to apply my font. Ifont changed most of the fonts but left some apps alone ie..browser pages. But useing romtoolbox after ifont took care of browser and everything else. Could never use just one or the other. Alone they both leave certain fonts alone, together they get everything.
I'll give this a shot, maybe this will save a few steps. Thks.

Only app I haven't seen get changed is kik. But that's only in the compose box which to me seems like an override by the app itself. As all other fonts are changed. I love having sexy text :3

I have a modded setting apk. Can you tell me what you changed, thanks.

Will this work on Infamous Roms, cos he adds other options to his Settings.....Cross Fingers.
So would this work on a 4.3 Rom? I ask because the only confirmed with pics is on a 4.2.2 Rom and the settings.apk in 4.3 is most likely much different than the one in 4.2.
It should work but if its a stock apk it should look stock therefore not Infamous lol

Is this updated for 4.3 stock tmobile roms? and would u mind making one for the international 4.3 rom?

I tried it. It force closes my settings. I used this on 4.2.2 and i was pretty happy with it.

Yeah. worked great on 4.2, but since I updated to Rebirth 4.3, whenever I try to flash, it says "FAILED" in big red letters.
