I have jelly bean installed on my kindle fire and was wondering if the play store shoiuld see the device as a tablet and therefore provide high resolution icons so they could be enlarged and still look good. I've downloaded many apps and keep getting the small low res icons made for cell phones. What about a mod that makes the play store see my device as a new samsung tablet. Does the play store even offer high res icons for tablets? I appreciate the help.
Thanks!

So I have the HTC Desire HD and it still has the stock ROM. The apps from the market are quite awesome and crisp. But, the 3rd party apps I tried downloading are of low resolution and get pixelated on the phone. Is there anyway I can edit something to make it right, or is the phone faulty?
It could be the apps are not designed for the DHD resolution.
Just to confirm that, I downloaded an app already available on the market. Even that is not right, ofcourse I deleted it. Thanks for the answer, anyway.
Yeah, some older apps designed for small low res screens, do not look so great when scaled up to the DHD 4.3" display.
I tested with Fruit Ninja, I deleted it ofcourse, but yeah, even that looks worse than a gameboy, lol.
Well thanks for the replies above guys. You were right, it's sad some applications aren't just built for 800x480.
I recently updated to v2.2.024 and I see no difference at all between +1 & +2 exposure levels anyone else the same?

Another game that belongs on every tab (i believe is only on play store) is Carmageddon. The free version is fun, the paid verson is so much better.
I wanted to see a FPS shooter running on my Fire, I googled, found "Dead Effect" - and it does.
Hi! Just bought this phone because it's just too cheap and has decent specs. Actually, bought 2 of them, they were about 70$ each, with some 15$ extra headphones bonus
Phone came with Fire OS 4.6.3. Managed to install Google services and store, Google now launcher and make default with Home Switcher(listed as "incompatible" in Play store, had to sideload it...many other apps are "incompatible"). That was problem number one...
After that, installed Youtube app, which works, but 360p only and no cardboard option(360 vr videos). Installed iYTBP(modded youtube app) and videos work at higher resolution(720p default) but still no VR. Also default app player doesn't work well.
Installed Facebook and seemed ok, but videos open in browser and don't autoplay in app. I understand whatsupp has problems playing videos...
All these seem to happen because phone is not really known to the apps and they run in "simple" mode.
Is there any way to make apps think it is another phone that they "know" has enough hardware to run them fully? Because it really has...the soc is still strong enough and gyro is there. I will try my best to keep it as stock as possible for warranty reasons(2 years...)
Stumbled across some post where someone said you have to modify build.prop, I think, but can't find it anywhere. Of course, I would need to root it first...
Any more tips welcome, this is best buy for 70$ + bonus and it's really selling well around Romania right now, it seems.
As a side note, battery life seems ok, I got around 5h SOT without sim first day of use, gestures and sensors enabled and Google launcher.
For those other newbs, this site is useful to a point: http://spinyourfire.com/. Home switcher app is attached here, as it does not show up in Google play for this phone.
Google now works fine for me, including wallpapers and widgets and seems to have full functionality.
Thanks!
I'm using an Odroid N2 (ODROID-VU5/7 1080 60hz) as my car tablet and 2 apps are not appearing inside of the Google Playstore.
Both apps are supported for 480x800 devices, which should entail the Odroid N2 as well. I've checked the app and all the resolution settings seem to be alright.
Does anybody know what else might be causing this issue for these 2 specific apps? The apps are MyRoute-app Mobile and MyRoute-app Navigation. Both apps are route creation applications that run on a HERE SDK.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
