How To Make Play Store Think My Note Is A Tablet. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
Title says it for me. I had a app that did this for me with my S3 a while back, but I forgot the name and want to get Battlefield Commander and a few other apps thast are only available for tablets.
If you could point me in the right direction that would be great help!

You can try editing build.prop file.
But you need to have root access for this.
Thanks.

What options would I change? I also have root, running a custom ROM as well.

ro.product.name= Your device model
ro.product.device= Your device model.
Please take a backup before changing.
And change that to any Samsung Tablet Model number.
I guess this should work. But can't be sure.
Just try and update result...

From the thread I found with all the N7 info, I found the app I used before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146216 Going to test it first, if it doesn't work then I will do it the manual way.
Will report back.

Original Euro build.prop

Hi,
Could someone with a unflashed Euro Tab please post the contents of their build.prop file (found in /system)?
I'm specifically after the value of ro.build.fingerprint, but the whole file would be nice anyway for reference.
Thanks,
Dave
I don't know if JK5 is the original Euro ROM or not but just replace the attached with GT-P1000 where it has SGH-T849
Thanks, but my current ROM is JK5 - and that is the problem! My fingerprint already reads as you suggest.
I can't see certain apps such as Paypal on the Tab and I'm certain I could before I flashed to a new version.
I though that the original version was JJ1, so I changed XXJK5 to XXJJ1, but it didn't help.
Regards,
Dave
There was a post in Clubtech how to flash AT&T tab that you could update build.prop to see more apps from Market. Have you tried that? It's near the end of the freaking long thread

This worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9383363&postcount=133
Yes, I know about that. However, this build.prop would show that I'm on a US Tab, which is why I would like the original Euro one.

Thankee-sai!
The correct value was XWJJ3 as JKR284 says, but I didn't know that till I looked at your build.prop.

Which bit did you change? Any firmware text from JK5 to JJ3?
Scrap that, the above build.prop worked fine

if you have root explorer go to system/ and then open in text editor (which is built into root explorer) the build.prop file.
then go to the line: ro.build.fingerprint=samsung......etc and towards the end of that line it should say: 2.2/FROYO/XXXXX:user/release-keys
the "XXXXX" should have your firmware number, mine before said XXJK5 and i changed it to XWJJ3, close then save then reboot and you should be fine.

Accidentally deleted LGSystemUI.apk

Is there anyway I can restore it? I can still access root explorer so maybe someone can upload it if that's possible.
Here you go!

If you're asking me about what happens when you remove the apk, I have no idea anymore. I've had three other phones since I had the G2. I don't even remember posting that to be honest. But I do know it messed something up. Sorry I couldn't help.

Not sure if this is still working, or if some variants need different methods, but this was at one time working on all US variants at minimum:

[HELP THREAD] EasySetting CloudyFlex 2.3

Hello guys, im using CloudyFlex 2.3.
Yesterday i downloaded LgEasySettings from here: lgviet.com/forum/threads/chia-se-ung-dung-lg-g3-download-g3-apps.19818
And now I cant oppen settings. What i need to do? Someone could backup your system apk?
Thanks and sorry for my horrible english.
Just reinstall CloudyFlex and it will be fine.
Have the same problem for some reason. Is it possible to just instal stock lgeasysettings.apk? I cant find it.
It's not a problem. It's a LG G3 app.. ...
You need to ask someone to port it over. Why do you make problems where there are no problems ?
It wont work on any g2 rom. Not yet.
@matheusvp0 - delete LgEasySettings first from either /system/priv-app or wherever you find it. Then reinstall the CF.
I know it's not LG G2 problem I just called it that.
Can someone post Lgeasysettings.apk from the original lg g2, please?

It doesn't go that way.
You need to put it manually to /system/app and chmod properly
or first remove the one in /system/app then try installing

you have to be rooted.
I see people are fixing the issue by going to settings, apps, then all apps, find the "updated" app and select uninstall updates.

I saw that but there's no option for that for Settings app. Would factory reset help?
Since you're not rooted and you don't have custom recovery, it should help, yes. Backup needed files first

Did you try to add a new wifi network to your list, to see if the new one will be hashed?
Because on marshmallow only the new passwords that you put in after editing the build.prop were not hashed and the old ones were still hashed.

That really sucks because I wanted to update to nougat but if this feature is not available. I'm not going to update.
Maybe there are other people on nougat that have a solution for this.

I believe there is a Gboard module with a bunch of different keyboards. Just search Gboard under the magisk download section. I haven't flashed it on this devive though so flash at your own risk. Let us know if it works for you.

I tried on US Tmo 5G , but the install failed. Didn't cause any issue on reboot.
It said failed, but it shows it as an installed mod ? Now - how does it work - can't find anything? Tried looking for Magisk MidnightCore module.

Go into theme section under Gboard settings where all the keyboards are and there should be a whole bunch.

Do you not see more keyboards under Gboard themes? If not maybe it just doesn't work for our device. Like I said I haven't tried it on the mclaren.
