So when i had my TF201 i had bought a few EA games (Dead space, MAss effect, Need for speed), then my TF201 broke so i went ahead and got a TF700..... but now when i try to install my EA games it shows up as not compatible. so what i want to do is edit the build.prop so the market reads my tablet as the TF201 so i can get my games loaded.
BTW i should add extracting the APK and restoring it doesnt work because when the Game goes to download the addtional data; a message pops up saying your device is not supported. so basiclly my only option is to spoof the market to viewing my tab as the TF201.

It's not that easy anymore. Google not only check the device ID but also resolution and dpi settings.
However since using the 1280x800 res patch with dpi of 160 I have noticed that prime only games become available
Yea I tried that no dIce, thanks though

What is the best way to get applications for the Tab Plus? The one thing that continues to be a thorn in my side is the limited selection of apps for this tablet. I'll see an application recommended or advertised, and hit Google Play and nothing, I'll check on my PC and see the app isn't available for my device.
I also have this problem with magazines on Amazon. The magazine works on the Fire but not the Tab Plus?
This is clearly a major problem for Android. Couldn't the apps just have an "intended for 7 inch screens" label or "intended for honeycomb"? If it works great, if not get your refund.

I have had that problem on some apps but when I installed it "in another way", it works perfectly. The "way" though is kind of illegal for some apps, but not for free ones.
Last version of Ustream app don't work, always show server error when try to watch a video.
Also last stumpleupon app is kind of buggy.
Wat abt apps if we install as apk. Does tat work for backward compatible appa??

Could please give more information about changing build.prop? I wanted to buy Order and Chaos but it is not supported in Google Play. If i change build.prop can safely buy it and not lose anything if i change build.prop back?

ok you must root your tablet if havent so; look for the details of tablet that has similar properties as the tab+ such as the tab 7.7 or the galaxy s2; and change the following (if using the 7.7)
ro.product.model=GT-P6800
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-P6800
ro.product.device=GT-P6800
btw order& chaos game shows as purchasable.... not sure what would happen if you switch back i haven't; don't see the need.

Thanks, i dealt with this problem easier. Went to gameloft site and bought O&C there (is it cheaper to buy it there anyway) and just chose P6800 as my device. Installed the game, runs without problems. Just in case anyone wants to buy O&C.
has anyone found a reliable legal way to get EA games working in cm9/10?
they require extra data on the sd card, but the EA servers never allow me to download the right data.
this is a problem I've always had with Wi-Fi tablets.
my current "solution" is to use the data from my phone and fixing compatibility problems with chainfire 3D and the nvidia plugin, but that won't work with cm10.

which mode you use 3g or wifi?use wifi to download it works for me...
as mentioned before, mine is wifi-only.
if you can download fine over wifi while running cyanogenmod that must mean you need a 3g capable device for ea games.

yes, the US version of galaxy tab 2 doesn't have sim card slot, but have infrared blaster port.
The International version have sim card slot, and can make phone call, but doesn't have infrared port.

Did you change your DPI on your tab 2 7"? I think that was my problem, I've since reverted back to 160 dpi and I have no problems downloading EA games extra data over my wifi. I assume you were getting the NaN on your download bar.
i never touched the dpi settings.
and the exact error varies.
some games get the nan problem you mentioned, i think nfs shift tells me to contact ea support, and nfs hot pursuit's updating popup keeps opening and closing.

I get that same error on NFS when I change the dpi to 133, but it works on 160.
strangely nfs hp now works fine.
nfs shift and worms however still can't download anything, with their download status displaying as NaN

Not A Number -error for me too for that pair. I got Worms working though by downloading the files with a another device. Shift files i downloaded as files from the internet and it was a graphical mess, probably wrong chipset files.
I can play fifa 12 and mass effect (downloaded from google play) on my p3100, im running cm9. Just edit your build prop to p1000 (i didnt know if this will work for tab 2 wifi version).
I use an app called device spoofer that allows you to easily edit your build.prop file. I found that changing between old galaxy tab and galaxy s2 or galaxy nexus would bring up different games in the app store. Make sure you clear google play store data in settings --> apps every time you edit your build.prop or use device spoofer.
I got worms and real racing 2 to work by using device spoofer to change to p1000 (old galaxy tab). Still got the NaN for Shift and cant get madden nfl 12 to work either
So I just got my first tablet, went with the Galaxy Note 10.1, I currently have an Evo 4G Lte Android phone with a lot of games on it from both the Google Play Store and the Amazon Play store.
So far I've noticed a bunch of games either say "not supported for your device or don't even show up on the list when checking the Play Store from the tablet. As for the Amazon App store some of the games I've downloaded just don't even work. They install, the screen goes black and then 5 minutes later I get XXX is not responding.
I'm sure my tablet should be able to handle these games, any idea why they won't work and or show up? Does the Developer just not support this tablet or is it just to new?

Ok so I found the issue why so apps aren't showing up, I guess it turns out I had bought games using my 2 different Google Accounts, I added the 2nd account and now they show up, but the odd thing is I need to switch between them to see the different Apps.
As for the games not working, it only seems to be 1 so far, so maybe it just needs an update.
Most games I've tried seem to work OK... Haven't really had any that flat out refused to work...
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?
Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this request, but does anyone know how to spoof your device for the Amazon Underground appstore? I bought "LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga" a while back, and now it won't load on any of my devices because they are "incompatible". (They are not; I played it on the same "incompatible" devices when I originally made the purchase, and the Play Store version has no such restrictions.)
The only compatible device I own is my 5-year-old's Fire Tablet with 8GB of flash memory, but given the size of the game (1.44GB, and apparently I need 2x that to install) I can't clear enough space to install it. I have 3 other devices with more than enough space, one of which is rooted with CM 14.1. I've tried changing the build.props file on the CM machine to match the settings found here, but that just makes the Amazon Underground app lock itself up and become unusable. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
You could try changing the product mode inside the build.prop.

I presume you meant ro.product.model? If so, yes, I tried changing all of the ro.product.* properties to no avail.
