Method:[Root Required]
Step 1:
Install Facebook and Messenger.
Step 2:
edit Build.prop
Note: We need to edit the build.prop in order to make our phone like GALAXY NOTE 2.
Now open any file manager and Navigate to System/ (Find build.prop)Make a backup of build.prop in your sdcard
After making a backup of your build.prop. Open It As Text Editor:
And Seach For These Lines:
Code:

Step 4:
Open Facebook, log in, Now you should see a "Enable Facebook Home" on the bottom of the settings. If you do, congrats, you are doing awesome
Now, install Facebook Home 1.0 , and go to it in the app drawer, and begin using it

He may just wanted to share with his instructions. However to avoid conflicts, why should not we create a single thread in general section to share others work?

Thank you so much! Worked for me with Galaxy Nexus.

Hi there
Is ur play store showing this app is incompatible with ur device?
Or you trying to search for an app/game but you are not able to find in play store.
Then this is the guide for you
Its nothing but showing our device as an high end device to play store (by editing build.prop file)so
the play store will not prompt us with a msg that Ur device is not compatible with this app.(like game dead space,9mm)
[---------------------FIRST------METHOD---------]
(1) Give root permission to ES file explorer and navigate to build.prop file found in system folder
Now u have to change following lines in build.prop to show ur device as Samsung galaxy s3
ro.product.model=GT-I9300
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=m0xx
ro.product.device=m0
ro.product.board=smdk4x12
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
(2)save this build.prop and exit
(3)open market helper app download it here
choose device as Samsung galaxy s3
A popup will display "go to Google dashboard" click on it
Now goto "manage apps" and change device model to GT-I9300 and exit.
-------clear data of play store in your phone (apps>manage apps>all>play store) and reboot
Open play store and enjoy....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(SECOND METHOD) thanks to ' MyLifeRocks10'
Above method confusing flsha multi DPI play store for 4.2.x roms

They might. Usually it's listed in the description if the app is compatible only for few models.
But its a good method to get all apps listed because if we change the DPI, some of the apps are shown incompatible and they work perfectly when side-loaded. For e.g. Candy Crush Saga and Tower Defense.
If the above changes are done, what will happen to the existing apps? If there is any update available, will it notify about the updates?
wrong result
Hi Guys,
I have just tried this on a brand new machine and now i cannot get the machine to power back up again - i performed a full power off & no matter what i do it will not turn on. I dont get anything on the machine at all - anyone got any ideas - should this modification to the build.prop file have caused such a fault or is it something else?
Step (the actual) one

Step 6: To be safe, copy your RemovedApps folder to your computer for backup
Step 7: Reboot phone
WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS
Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.
Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T
Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.
Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.
​
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ:
Q. Why do I need to be rooted to do this?
A. Because you will need access to the root and system folders.
Q. Why De-bloat my phone?
A. The manufacturer and the carrier install a bunch of branded apps that take up space and resources. By uninstalling these apps, you have less background activity, less space used and more resources to use for the apps you do want.
Q. Can I use Titanium Backup to Freeze these apps?
A. Freezing these apps will work, however freezing these apps does not free the space used by these apps.
Backup of Removed Files
Backup zip of Removed Files
Did you not follow the directions in the OP?
Did you just decide to delete everything instead of backing it up?
Are you trying to find the .apk for one of the apps you deleted?
Well you are lucky! Here is a zip of everything I told you to backup and remove!

If I remember correctly, LADDM is something to do with CarrierIQ. I think you shouldn't touch it on any LG AT&T ROM.

There is no issues with removing LADDM.apk - it is CarrierIQ. It will not allow CarrierIQ to work - if you'd like you can also follow the removing CarrierIQ instructions and remove the lib files and disable everything in android tuner to completly get rid of everything. Either way - no adverse reaction to removing it... in fact its better to have one less thing stalking and tracking everything you do with your phone.

Thanks for putting up this how-to. I went ahead and followed the instructions to the "T", and then rebooted. I am a little confused as to why some apps still showed up in my app draw even though they were properly cut and moved to the new folder? I went ahead a tried clearing data for "home" to see if they would show when reloaded, however they still appeared. There were about 5-6 apps including twitter, ISIS, Lookout, and a few more than I forgot the names. I went ahead and manually removed them from the app draw, however I was wondering why they didn't disappear like the others did??
Thanks for your help!

Its probably because you had already updated these apps through the playstore... Just go to playstore and you should be able to uninstall them like any other app.

Sideload Microsoft Word, Excel & PowerPoint for Android on non-supported devices

Since I've been receiving a lot of private messages on how to install the Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint for Tablet apps on non-supported devices, I decided to create this thread that guides you through every single step.
This how-to is meant for people who can't download these apps via the Google Play Store due to device/county restrictions. It's only showing you how to sideload these apps and get them to run on other screen-sized smartphones. The other minimum requirements might still be essential for these apps to run properly.
Official Minimum Requirements:
These apps work best on Android devices having 1GB+ RAM and running KitKat (4.4.x) or later versions.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you run into problems that aren't directly connected to your device but concerning the apps themselves, please post those into the Microsoft Office for Android Community.
You might want to try to install the apps via the Google Play Store first:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft PowerPoint​
To become a beta tester, please follow the steps on the About page of this Microsoft Office for Android Beta Community.
If you aren't able to Install the apps via the Google Play Store, follow this guide:
Download the apk and OBB files.
Install the apks
Push the *.obb files to data/media/obb or to sdcard/Android/obb into corresponding folders named:
Code:
[I]com.microsoft.office.excel[/I]
[I]com.microsoft.office.powerpoint[/I]
[I]com.microsoft.office.word[/I]

Is the MD5 checksum correct?
You only changed the PowerPoint folder name, right?
Are the files in the right location? Each file needs to be in exactly one folder in data/media/obb
(See the screenshot I attached)
Did the files actually get copied there? Did you grant the file explorer superuser access to copy all files?
your the best, that did the trick. I was copying it over the wrong way. THANK YOU

That usually means that the downloaded package is corrupted or not fully downloaded. If you download it again, it should work.

Did you play around with any settings concerning your web connection? (Proxy, etc)
What country are you located in? I honestly don't think they restrict the access via your IP rather than the play store, but who knows. Maybe using a tunnel to sign in?

[7.0-7.1] How to achieve Pixel Features and Look on any Rooted Android Device

Hi! Guys Today I will share a guide on How to achieve Pixel features and look on almost any android device running android Nougat.
What you need?:- A rooted Nougat device, Root file manager(I recommened ES), Brain
Lets start:-
Go into root of your device using your fav. file manager and search for build.prop. Usually it lies in system folder but if not found search it. Open it with any text editor and add this two lines at it's end.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Now reboot your device.
After your device turns on Clear Google App data.(Clear whole data and not cache only).
Now long press on your device to launch Google assistant:laugh::laugh: .
Now another step.
Open playstore and install pixel launcher and wallpapers by google.
Now you need Link2SD.(Install if not already Installed)
Now open Link2SD find & convert Pixel launcher and wallpapers into system apps and reboot again. (This step enables Google Now on swipe).
Now Download the boot animation app by Jrummy from playstore and install the boot animation zip i provided or manually push it into your system where your boot animation is stored.(Normally it's stored in system>media)
Copy audio files and replace it with your default files in system>media>audio.
Now if you want more follow:- (Not recommened for CM users but i hadn't encountered any problem on my CM though )
Download substratum from Playstore and Pixel Ui which is similar theme for this app and apply it via the substratum. Reboot
Cm users can skip many steps and use any pixel theme and icon pack from Playstore and apply it via Themes app natively installed.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
It's Done. Now enjoy all features and look of Pixel on your device.
While i encountered that google assistant doesn't recognize your voice I can't do anything for it now. I will keep looking to make it work but it will take time.Sorry.
You can also just download the launcher and wallpaper and install it. It still works that way. Also you can manually push them into system if required. But i suggest you to use bootanimation via substratum only as i pulled the zip file from PixelUi.
Here is a thread on Pixel experince you may want to take a look here too if you want to avoid so much work and go for flashing zips:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...xel-experience-launcher-dialer-t3478907/page1
Tips:- Signup for google beta tester on playstore and update your google app to latest beta version for seamless google assistant work.
You may add those two build.prop at the end and don't change your default model number. It will still work.
Boot animation have a huge chances to work normally as the just conatin minimal animations and cover center of screen. So try it out and tell me.
This is my first guide. Please PM me or quote if you have any doubts before rating my guide bad.
Thank me if you liked my guide and my assistance.:laugh:

Go into root of your device using your fav. file manager and search for build.prop. Usually it lies in system folder but if not found search it. Open it with any text editor and add this two lines at it's end.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Now reboot your device.
After your device turns on Clear Google App data.(Clear whole data and not cache only).
Now long press on your device to launch Google assistant:laugh::laugh: .
Now another step.
Open playstore and install pixel launcher and wallpapers by google.
Now you need Link2SD.(Install if not already Installed)
Now convert Pixel launcher and wallpapers into system apps and reboot again. (This step enables Google Now on swipe).
Now Download the boot animation app by Jrummy from playstore and install the boot animation zip i provided or manually push it into your system where your boot animation is stored.(Normally it's stored in system>media)
Copy audio files and replace it with your default files in system>media>audio.
Now if you want more follow:- (Not recommened for CM users but i hadn't encountered any problem on my CM though )
Download substratum from Playstore and Pixel Ui which is similar theme for this app and apply it via the substratum. Reboot
Cm users can skip many steps and use any pixel theme and icon pack from Playstore and apply it via Themes app natively installed.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
It's Done. Now enjoy all features and look of Pixel on your device.
While i encountered that google assistant doesn't recognize your voice I can't do anything for it now. I will keep looking to make it work but it will take time.Sorry.
This is my first guide. Please Tell me and ask me doubts before rating Bad.
You can also just download the launcher and wallpaper and install it. It still works that way. Also you can manually push them into system if required. But i suggest you to use bootanimation via substratum only as i pulled the zip file from PixelUi.
Here is a thread on Pixel experince you may want to take a look here too if you want to avoid so much work and go for flashing zips:-

Nope, Do I have to re-apply the build.prop mod again when I sign up for the google beta app?

Rules setting

For those (rooted) who wants google rules settings here is how to enable it *choose one of these three method* :
1st method ;
run this Terminal
1. su
2. pm enable com.google.android.settings.intelligence/.modules.routines.impl.settings.RoutinesSettingsActivity
(delete the space in "Activity" in the end of this terminal .. I don't have it in edit mode. no idea lol)
3. Go to settings>apps and notifications . And force stop (settings- settings suggestions)
-------------------
2nd method ;
1-Using a file explorer app that supports root navigation, such as Solid Explorer, go to the /data/data/com.google.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs folder.
2-Open the SettingsGoogleIntelligenceSharedPrefFile.xml file and change all flags values containing RoutinesPrototype in their name to true (except for the debug one). Before backing out of the file, save it.
3-From the Apps and Notifications menu, force-stop both the Settings and Settings Suggestion apps.
Open Settings and perform a search by typing "rules" (without the quotation marks).
---------------------
3rd method ;
just copy the attached file to this location :
/data/data/com.google.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs
*Go to settings>apps and notifications . And force stop (settings- settings suggestions)
Congratulations, u will find it in : settings>system. :highfive:
Thanks I ran the command (you do have a space near the end that needs to be removed) but I don't see a Rules section under settings-->system. Tried a reboot too
Something else need to be done?
