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

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?

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:

Hi guys,
i know that is a common problem but i cant resolve.
I have a lot apps that couldn't be installed.
I have a original rom, rooted with pixel density 177.
Example : facebook is installed, if i go on its market page it says "not compatible"
Example 2 : if i search "Splashtop" for istance ... i found only 2 chinese apps
When i clear cache, user data, updates, cache and dalvik cache then it return working.
But soon the problem return.
Any ideas ?
Thank you
Change to 160dpi and you'll be fine, play store is funny about dpi changes

Ok but if i return to 177 the problem return
Yeah the problem will return because the playstore doesnt like some dpi configs and it mess's with the store, imo 160 looks loads better anyhow

177 it's perfect for nexus, no wasted space.
But it has this bad "bug".
Paranoid Android instead it's ok ... but has enourmous memory leak. And i like have stock rom.
Any way to use the paranoid tecnique on stock rom ?

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

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?
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..
Alright so obviously I have the nexus 4. This really isnt a big problem for you guys I just need quick help.
You see I'm getting really bored. Maybe because its a developer phone and I'm obviously not a developer. I keep trying to sell it and since my birthday was today I almost got the galaxy s4.
I just keep thinking if there was something I could. do to this phone to make it as cool as the galaxy s4 I'm just not impressed.
I have rooted
I have over clocked.
Installed custom ROM
I just need Idk features that make the phone cool. Or something that'll keep me busy so I'm not bored.
Thanks

read around, maybe something will catch your interest. personally, i dont need the extra features. i look for something lean, and optimized, which usually means fast. the simplicity of android makes me happy, i dont need anything else.

rasbean jelly rom with the trinity kernel. but thats what i enjoy
Its basic human nature that they get bored after using the same thing again & again for many days. After a month of usage, I was bored with my S2, then I started trying out new ROMs, I used to change ROMs once every 2 weeks.
I got my Nexus 4, 3days ago.........
Try out different ROMs, try different software tweaks, or different apps from Play Store atleast. Otherwise just find something/someone other than your Nexus 4/10 to remove your boredom......

okay see because I over clocked and rooted my Nexus 4 and 10. Running pa with stock kernel. I literally took of Faux kernel does now because it was overheating my phone. I still have my Nexus 10 overclock and rooted. With same kernel. I just need something else to do with my phone. When I usually go hiking or trailing I do photosphere's and then add it to Google Plus but other than that there's nothing else to do

What you need is tasker!
That should be a really interesting project for you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsIm5ldC5kaW5nbGlzY2guYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrZXJtIl0.
You can do anything with this app
What you need is to change the way you interact with your device. Remove the nav bar and use pie (learn to use gestures) , nova launcher (and many roms out there) have the option to remove the notificatiom bar. Use dashclock with the extentions as a homescreen widget. Use halo for notifications. Use icon packs to change the way your UI feels, change the wallpaper more often. If you're on google+ take a look at the communities, people are doing some crazy stuff customizations, try to replicate those themes.
Buying the s4 won't solve your problems.

Yeah the only thing Im not doing from what you said is using halo and pie. I did that with my nexus 10. The reason why I didn't on my nexus 4 is because I put tablet ui and made it transparent and made the app drawer transparent too
