[Q] Can anyone get NBA Jam® to work on the N7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm rooted with CNA installed and using Franco as my kernel. If you did get it to work, what was your setup?

Doesn't work on mine, I'm using motleys kernel

Works on stock unrooted. It may have to do with DPI if that's changed.

Works on mine. EOS tablet mode with Trinity kernel.

I'll try EOS. Thanks

I'm stock, not rooted. Works perfect for me. Are you sure you're using teh latest update? It just got updated about a month or so ago to work on Nexus 7

Yea, I downloaded the latest version from Google Play. It must be the cna. Once I get back from work, I'll install EOS and give that a try. I really hope it works. Its one of my fav games on android.

You guys rock! EOS works perfectly with NBA Jam! I'm now a very happy gamer

any help?
i have an unlocked and rooted nexus 7, but i changed the dpi to get the tablet mode and notification bar.
what do i have to do now to play nba jam?
what is EOS? do i have to go through a lot of trouble to install a custom rom?
all i want is the tablet style notification bar, as i use nova launcher anyways.

Set your dpi back to the original dpi. That was causing the issue for me not launching.

I have no problems with changing the dpi, except I want to keep the tablet taskbar..
any easy way to doing so?

i'm on paranoid android, i used all the dpi settings, and none of it works for me.
when i load the game, in the beginning it loads the screen on the upper left corner
then the big screen comes on, then it shuts off.
i've changed my dpi from 160 to 213 to bigger, none of it works. any help?

[Solved] Install theme

How do I install a theme on my N7 do I have install through PC cuz I can't figure out how to install this theme o downloaded from the play store.. would the theme manager app help?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Well I'm not sure how you would in stock. But if you get yourself onto a cm10 rom, or one like Glazed JellyBean, (which is what I'm on) you can download themes off the play store, then in settings, in the theme manager, those themes will show up and you can select them and load them up easily

It really is wonderful! It has a totally diff feel to it. It feels way more tablet even though it sticks to the phablet UI. Thanks again :thumbup:

[POLL] Stock vs tablet workspace

I would like to start this to see how many people use tablet workspace since it seems only a few roms seem to be embracing this. Please state what rom you are using and what you use to trigger tablet mode.
I am using PA 2.1.1 with small tab ui

Stock rom rooted, rom toolbox to change my dpi, loving tablet mode just like paranoid on my phone
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
PA 2.1 tablet ui (mid).
Don't like roms that shrink the nav bar too much either!

I'm using tablet ui, liking it a lot
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Stock, rooted 4.1.1 here.
Used the local.prop DPI setting to get it into tablet mode and use the app "Set Orientation" to force the last remains (like lockscreen) into landscape for total tablet experience to my likes
Also I'm using GoLauncherEx, which works fine for me landscaped.
Alot of you are using a depreciated method of forcing tabUI by using dpi hacks. IMHO only sgt7 and PA are the only seamless roms that do this well. PA also lets you choose the navbar height independently.
Personally I would never run phabletUI on my tablet. That sounds funny

I wouldn't call it "depricated", I'd call it "the savest and most less intrusive way".
I don't want to flash a different ROM and I don't have to edit any system files - #1 way of doing it for me. And it works just fine

It may seem like its working fine but when I did it that way many apps were gone from my market (google play music, wallet off the top of my head) and the copy/paste bar was nowhere to be found when editing text.
Of course I could have messed something up and yours could be fine.

About the apps, maybe I just got lucky so far and the ones I use on my N/ don't set the compatibility stuff in the way that makes them appear to be incompatible with the N7.
About the copy/paste bar, I just tried and yes, it's "gone" like you say.
But I use GoKeyboard and that has copy/paste buttons as well, so I can live with that for now

Changing DPI

Is there a decent guide to changing the DPI for the nexus 4? I changed it using the build.prop to 240 and now the navigation bar (back, menu, switch tasks) are not centered and also when I recieve a phone call it is not centered.
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm really just wanting a stock ROM this time... But if that is the only solution I guess I will have to use a custom ROM.

All roms for the nexus are pretty much just stock roms with tweaks.. Besides MIUI.
Besides PA, there really isn't a way to get what you are looking for

Like the guy above me said, its pretty much like a stock ROM but with tweaks. And yes it is the safest way.

Anything like Go Locker?

Is there other apps like it? Widgetlocker is so old and outdated that the stock lockscreen works better then it. I just mainly want something I can customize and use as a lock screen.
MagicLocker.
How about MagicLocker? It's pretty easy to use and works well. I tried Go Locker, Stock, even Widgetlocker, but I always come back to ML. I use it on my S3 & Nexus 7. Very happy
Play store pulls a not compatible with this version, I'll search for the apk.
The version i got is rather laggy..

Have you changed your DPI? All of the apps mentioned in this thread show as compatible when I check the Play Store.

Actually, widgetlocker gave me a very nice, jelly bean lock screen back when I was on stock. It has been updated. You just need to remove those gross froyo sliders

It doesn't rotate nicely like the stock launcher is another thing that always bugs me..

App to easily change ro.product.model in build.prop?

Guys, I need to quickly 'masks' my Nexus 4 to a Nexus 7 so that I can buy and download a game deemed not compatible with the Nexus 4 on Google Play Store.
Is there an app that would allow me to easily switch between device models without having to manually edit the build.prop?
Thanks.

I havent been able to get this to work at all. I keep trying it from a fresh reboot, i try opening the play store closing it, force stopping it, clearing data, ive tried every combo of things i can think of. I want to buy the game Magic 2014 and i have a custom ROM with the ability to change dpi settings which would make the tablet display sizing not a problem.
how did you get this to work>?

Another option is to manually edit the build.prop
