[Q] Trick Market into thinking your Phone is a Tablet/New Phone?

So the new Zinio app came out, and it is offering 24 free magazines to anyone who downloads the app before June 15th. However, it is only compatible with these devices:
Android 3.0 Honeycomb Devices supported:
-Motorola Xoom, LG Optimus Pad, Acer Iconia Tab a500, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Android Preload Devices (Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.0):
-Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy S II, Dell Streak, Motorola Atrix, T-Mobile G2x, T-Mobile G-Slate
So I was wondering... how might one trick the market into believing our Incredible is one of those devices? I would really like to have the Zinio app.

I'd be more afraid the content would look wrong at the resolution and size we display at.

An alternative to this thread is in the works. Please be patient.​
Please read the short FAQ concerning this thread BEFORE POSTING.​
Ok guys, here's how this works. Everyone wants their shiny new device to have a home on XDA, right? Right. Simply put, make a post in here with your device name and I'll add a vote for it below. This thread is to keep track of the tallies as they get more popular. This thread is also completely unofficial and does not guarantee that any forum will be created. It's just here because I felt the need to tidy up this forum. No double voting! Once (IF) the forum gets added, I'll link to it in the third post once I become aware of it. Simple, right?

FAQ
1. Oh, my gosh, I like this thread and you quoted me in a post. Can we be BFFs? I'm going to spam your inbox until you reply.
Don't PM me for any reason concerning this thread. If you send me garbage in my inbox, I'm going to report you. Plain and simple.
2. How many votes can I cast?
One vote per device, per user.
3. I want to vote for two devices. May I?
Sure. You may vote for as many devices as you like, but only once per device.
4. How many votes does it take to get a forum added?
There is no set number. Ask an admin how they decide. This isn't an official thread. It just keeps the forum cleaner.
See below for a quote on the subject from MikeChannon, who is a forum admin.
5. You made a spelling error/put a device in the wrong heading/listed a device that has a forum or any other mistake.
Post the error that I made in a new post, and I will correct it. DO NOT PM ME.
6. Why did some other device get a forum when I think my device is more popular?
I don't know. Ask an admin.
See below for a quote on the subject from MikeChannon, who is a forum admin.
MikeChannon said:
As cajun says above.
Please remember that popularity although an important factor in deciding if a phone gets a forum, IS NOT the only factor.
We are likely to see more and more low priced devices around that will be very very popular (due to price) and we will not be adding them all if any!
So in addition to popularity we consider things like the specs of the device, does it have anything particularly new to offer, are there existing or potential developers for the device (not just ROM cookers) and so on. This does mean there will be potentially "good" devices that we will not add. In addition of course we have to have regard to our resources. In today's world we could add several devices per week, but we would not be able to provide enough administration and moderation to keep things running at least fairly smoothly!

Well, my request is not about a proper device but it's very important in my humble opinion.
Bluestacks, as you may know, is a software that allows to run Android on Windows /Mac. It came out this week and since then people are talking about it, creating many different threads. This whole discussion has become very haphazard, so there is a need for an official Bluestacks forum on our beloved XDA.
Thanks for consideration.

This is a mobile device forum. running software on Windows or Mac PCs is not meant to be on this site. Yes, it is Android, but the target platform is not a mobile device. It's the same reason we don't have a Google TV forum here.
P.S. I gave you accidental thanks when trying to quote you. Enjoy.

Help deciding

Hello android people i currently sold my ipad finally and now deciding on which tablet to get
1. xperia tablet z
2. samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014

Well I didn't look at the sony since all read was the top 3 devices were the note 10.1 2014, nexus 10 and an ipad air. And since I refuse to buy anything apple, it was between the note and the nexus. I wanted the stylus really and the software that comes with the note so it was an easy choice. Especially with all the hardware the note comes with, your'e not left with a device outdating as quickly as some others.

I think you'll probably be happier with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 coming from the iPad. The Sony tablet is nice, though, and it has a lot more devlopment support than the Note 10.1 2014 does (at least for now). I guess it would depend on what you want to do with it (rooting, ROMing, tweaking, etc.). I think the Note 10.1 2014 will offer you the closest thing to an iPad experience (with bonuses) without rooting it.

[Q] Has anyone gotten screen casting to work?

Google released screen casting today and it stopped the beta support for the M7, which is a little weird, because I wouldn't think the phones were that different

Question Xiaomi pad 5 official keyboard

Hello everybody,
I would like to ask whether this is the official xiaomi product for mi pad 5 and if anybody has bought it, i would appreciate it if he could give us his opinion about it.
Thank you

Xiaomi Pad 5 does not have an official keyboard cover, only the pro model have one.
The one from the link looks as the one provided with the Pad5 PRO, but in the details area are only two images, i cannot say if is compatible or not, please note the side pogo pins which power the keyboard, the provided mages does not show them on the keyboard.

from what i know the official keyboard case is compatible with all Mi Pad 5 versions. I'm using the most basic Mi Pad 5 with the official keyboard, the 1 you linked.
this reviewer also uses Mi Pad 5 with keyboard.

I really like it. Sometimes I wish I had more opportunities to use it. The key travels are ok IMHO. Build quality is good. It does feel snug with the tablet inside.

I might give it a try... I'd be able to replace my laptop most of the times.

I have a keyboard for my tablet (no pro), it works just fine.
