Easiest way is to change your build prop to a NEXUS. Install the game then change your build prop back to the original I317.
Kinda like when your installing Google WALLET...

Oh this I did not know! This basically tricks the play store into allowing the download?

Yes yes. And your not really doing anything to your phone but switching the build prop, from one to another. With a reboot after the change. Get what you want from the PLAY STORE! Switch back, reboot done. Happy gamer now
Let me know if ya need help with it. I have a NEXUS build prop file if you need one k. You also need root explorer to do all of this. And it's mush easier with root explorer!!

What Rom you running??? You don't change any lines just switch it out with a complete different one!
Here's the NEXUS build prop you need.
http://db.tt/pc39oeGG
Your going to have to push in into the system if you know how to.
Just rename your original build.prop to
( build.propbak ), and use the one I provided. Just rename it to just build.prop!! Reboot get your games you want! After that go back into root explorer, change the NEXUS build.prop and just add the Bak on the end of it and then rename your original to
build.prop only reboot done!
Hope that helps with your problems. And I know it's a lil confusing at times.

Yes this is what I did. I pushed the galaxy nexus build.prop to /system and removed original. My problem was not backing up the original I assume. I am running cleanROM ace 4.8.0. I only asked which lines to modify because I assumed the way I did it was incorrect. I will try again!

Market Helper is a quick and easy way to spoof your device on the Play Store.
Here's a link to the thread for it. I use it to download stuff that I've previously bought but isn't supported on our device.

Ok you don't remove any build prop from your SYSTEM OK!! You leave in the original build prop, and just add Bak to the end of it. That's it!
Rename the NEXUS to just build.prop ONLY. Reboot then you can get what you like.
After that just reverse the steps you did to put back to the original build prop.
It's kinda like when trying to get GWallet to function on your PHONE!!
You can also try above post^^^^^^^
Ok I read thru that whole thread about what the above poster stated. It seems like it works but, I did read that most had problems with it. FYI

Touchwiz in tablet mode???

Does anyone know how to get touchwiz launcher in tablet mode?? Or at 220 or 210 DPI?? I've tried xposed framework, changing the DPI through ROM toolbox, the launcher from the note 8, and various other modded touch wiz launchers I've found through xda. The only one that work was a tablet ui made for 4.1.1 ROMs. I'm looking for one that works on 4.1.2. Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

I personally was able to get the tw into tablet mode at 153dpi in xsposed app settings I believe (dont quote me on that) I dl'd the stock rom of note 10.1 and pulled the touchwiz home apk. Put in system/app set correct permissions. Icons will be tiny. To fix that I edited this line in build prop"ro.build.characteristics=chameleon" to "ro.build.characteristics=tablet" please make a backup before trying this. I can confirm this worked on deodexed 4.1.1 ljc but havent fooled with 4.1.2 yet. On 4.1.1 I took the modded system.ui apk & android.policy.jar floating around the vzw note 2 forum for tablet mode and fully working tablet ui became a reality for us. I know nothing of developing but have been tinkering with decompiling apks and jars to bring this to 4.1.2. as it seems no one really wants this but a select few. If I have a break though I will most definitely post it.

Its not the DPI unfortunately. Could be something in the build prop or the actual apk. I'm seeing if maybe he will post the room soon and then get some help from the community

Follow the link disposablehero1985 put in his op. This mod wont mess up the lockscreen but you will have to mess with build.prop slightly. Just to change dpi and change build characteristics to tablet. Its not so much as all in a zip for Sprint phones yet....

Have any of you locked in on the best settings for this mod? I would love to do this! I have a note 10.1 and a note 2 and love them more everyday because guys like you figure out things like these. The other cops at the pd were making fun of my really big phone the other day until I started showing them snote and multi Window capability to watch movies and take notes and then play music and all that. This mod would make them regret their iphone purchase.
Only thing they have that I wish we had is the whole group messaging, which I hear is coming in Android 4.2 ...

Have to change the file to read-write first using a root explorer, open with editor than save and profit. :good:

[Q] Did I mess up?

I had a AT&T Note 2, model number SGH-I317. And when I flashed TWRP and Cyanogen mod, it now shows up as model number: GT-N7105. Is this a bad thing? Any and all information would be appreciated.
If it's booting then your ok but sounds like your just flash a Rom for the international GN2. Which you shouldn't do! Could put you into a bootloop or even a brick!!
Unless it states that's it's capable of multiple devices in the OP!! That's a must...
Not sure where you got the Rom from but don't think you were in the right place..
