This has been my main issue since getting the 7.0 Plus. I'll DL an app from the marketplace that has tablet enhancements and what I'll end up getting on the device is the phone version of the app. Examples are Xfinity, Gigbeat, IMDB, and Google Docs among others. I'm assuming it's the screen resolution on these. But, I dunno. Is there any way to force the tablet version of the app?

Google Docs as far as I know doesn't really have a "Tablet Version" not all apps do. If you search the web market and see 2 different versions, try to install it from there. If not you can contact the developer and ask them to make a tablet specific version. I can state this about Google Docs for sure because I had a Transformer earlier and it used the same version.
Is there a way to spoof and/or change its DPI settings so than an app thinks it's running on a 1200x800 tablet?

No, in theory you might be able to modify the build.prop but in the end the easiest way is to just contact the developer. I did that with Splashtop, and 3 days later they had released an update with the support for the Tab Plus' resolution.
My splashtop works great. I wish EA would get on board with this. I love playing Madden and NFSHP

Splashtop works great locally, not over the internet. Pocketcloud is much more bandwith efficient over RDP.
Is this something that ICS will fix?
Since upgradung to the leaked ics, I noticed hbo go is not in the google play store. I went to the hbogo website and clicked the link to download it in the google store. It pulls up but says its incompatible with my device. Is there an alternate way I can download this

download the apk from the web
Don't you have to modify something else in order to get that to work? I thought I read something about a build.prop file or something..

That would be good to know , since installing the ICS leak I've been having a lot of issues installing apps such as Groupon,Living Social , Yahoo Mail that would all show as incompatible with device

Groupon and Living Social both work on mine, although I'm using the Stock Revamped ROM. As far as Groupon goes, did you do a backup and then restore in Titanium Backup? If you do that Groupon doesn't launch. If you delete it and then redownload it via Google Play it should work fine.

I'm using Mod1411's NexusMod ICS with LCD Density set to 200. I thought it was the LCD Density at first but it wouldn't work even if I set it back to 240. I searched for Groupon first on Google Play but couldn't find it. Going to the direct Google Play link it will show me as incompatible
Even after setting density back, you have to clear google play data and may have to go to recovery and wipe caches and reboot.
Can anyone speak to the HBO (No) Go app issue? Has anyone been able to get this running on their phone? I'd like to get that back up and running.
Well my i heart radio app was working fine until they released 4.2.1 version for it, now I get that my device is not supported.
Update, found the app on the Amazon app store and it installed and works fine.
to the OP, try that.

I tried with HBO Go and it isn't working. Won't even come up when I search for it.

I'm using the stock leak (UCLD2) and I don't have any issues searching for groupon on the phone in the market.

Good , hopefully when MOD1411 get a chance to put out the new ROM it would work fine.
Just loaded the new AOKP and had a few issues with app incompatibility, couldn't get SwiftKey and others to install... I tried all the usual suspects - LCD Density, reboot, clear store data, but two tips I haven't seen anywhere else that both worked for me:
- Manage Apps, Google Play Store, 'Uninstall Updates'
- Install from browser instead of Play Store on device
Hope this helps someone!
Hello all,
I bought a prepaid credit card just so that I could get overskreen from the play store. I tried searching for it in the play store and it did not come up, so i googled it and it showed up, however, much to my demise, i was unable to purchase the app. I got an error "the item you have attempted to purchase could not be found". In the app description the developer stated that jelly bean support is a work in pogress, has anyone else had issues with downloading overskreen, it appears that some xda members were able to install it. I have never gotten this error before, is this a common error or have i disabled one too many apps lol. If anyone has found a way to get overskreen could you point me to where you found it, this app is pretty essential for multitassking and would allow all users of this tablet to be much more productive. I would love to be able to open a pdf and write notes in google drive via overskreen, now that would be bad ass.
Hope my fellows are having a dope holiday season
The browser?
"ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
This item is not compatible with your device."
So it won't show up in the play store on the tablet, and buying it can only be done for a device it supports.

Other members have downloaded it, there is a thread on floating apps and apparently it was installable (not sure if they got it thru the play store), I am thinking it might not be available for anyone on jelly bean, tf700 owners who have the app posted about it before the jelly bean update, I have emailed the developer to see what they have to say, thx for checking it out tho.

It also lists as incompatible for my SGS3, so I suspect they just deleted all JB devices from the list. I've yet to update that to JB, so it's not because it sees the OS version.
Those that are still able to install it do so by sideloading. (download to another device and copy the .apk to the incompatible device).
The author of Overskreen is having issues w/Jelly Bean devices, which is why it's not available on the Play Store for Jelly Bean devices.
However, there is a free alternative called "Floating Browser Flux" in the Play Store that is compatible with Jelly Bean. In my opinion, it's not quite as good as Overskreen, but it does work pretty well...

Cool I was thinking of doing that but I do not have any other android devices, looks like i am going to have to commandeer my sisters phone lol
I have tried floating browser flux and it worked alright, however, typing was really annoying and it wouldnt play youtube videos if I was using another app at the same time.
the overskreen browser works great on my infinity you just have to sideload it just google it and download the apk
I was gonna get the same app I tried it with my ics tab and it worked great, I'll try to side load it here too and see if it works just the same.

Has anyone gotten this app to work on a JB update or JB ROM?
Hi Guys,
Recently HBO GO was released for Fire TV (Source:http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1999513), this version should have support for various remotes and thus if anyone could pull the APK I would very grateful along with many other HBO Watchers. You probably have to be rooted to obtain the APK so keep this in mind.
EDIT: APK has been pulled - download here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57527277&postcount=3
Thanks Guys,
Keep up the Good Stuff
CURRENT STATUS: APP Installs - Navigation works - Video fails to Load or Loads Endlessly

I managed to get a few videos started but yer now it seems they all cut off straight away - Do you reckon its to do with device activation?
- Also it is so laggy and slow is this the same on Fire TV? (Like in the UI - maybe missing some of the required libs to run properly)
EDIT: It always plays the intro "It's HBO GO" with Rating, however never successfully retrieves content I guess there is some sort of device handshake if not maybe the app checks the build of the device to see if it matchs or maybe some framework is missing; In any case now we have the app, we can experiment to find a solution.
How did you add it to your library? It won't let me
I managed to get it to work using the HBO Go 2.8.02 APK extracted from my Nexus 7. I disabled USB Debugging on my rooted NP running LP 5.1 and videos play just fine. Only during fast forwarding and rewinding do I get a little buffering, that's expected.
I'm using 2.7.06 and it works great. Just download and old version and 6iu should be good.
Can you please upload the apk??

I think I should seek help from other talents to root my mobile first.:crying:
There have been a few threads on this for the stock ROMs, but in case you're rockin' CM 12 I thought I'd chime in... It's actually pretty simple and worked flawlessly for me. will it work on CM11 ? Honestly, I don't know.
Step 1: Remove any pre-existing Amazon store apps, instant video apps from your device.
Step 2: Go to apkmirror dot com ( note: this is not a warez site to the best of my knowledge ), and look for the amazon area, Grabbing these: com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient-1.0-1-minAPI15.apk and com.amazon.mShop.android-5.2.2-502012-minAPI9.apk .
Load them up. Open the amazon instant video app, log in, select your movie and enjoy! Hope you found this useful.
This looks like what I've been looking for but I can't find these files. Suggestions?

Sorry to hear that; this was only to get the movies up and running.
I found an easier way:
Install Amazon App. The one for phones from an app store.
Install Aptoide and install Amazon Instant Video from there. Or Instant Music. In general, an okay app for free apps not available due to device limits.
Login to the Amazon app, then run Prime Video.
Hide the Amazon Mobile app in the launcher. If you need to use Amazon, install the Tablet version.
By the way, I got this to work for me on Cyanogenmod 11. You don't need to uninstall previous Amazon apps either if they're another fork like the Tablet version.
