So I'm currently using a samsung tab pro 8.4 and with it action launcher 3 and the Logitech harmony smart control software
Both of these software packages arentnset to proper!my display on the resolution. However I believe from research they both work properly on a galaxy tab s 8.4.
What I'd like tom do is edit some!e config file or similar for these apps to convince them I have a different device. I don't want to try and globally change it
I use but am no epxlert with android so I'd appreciate any advkce krm resources too which you could point me, alternately to know its not possible.
Thanks a bunch

Looking through the threads, it seems there are only two options available for a device similar to the ipod touch: Samsung Galaxy Wifi and Dell Streak 7. Now, the problem with the Samsung is that it is not available in America as far as I can tell. The Dell Streak seems too large for what I want, which is something that I can just leave in my pocket and not care if it gets banged up or not.
The smaller Arcos Gen 8 products seem to be more what I'm looking for: small, cheap android alternatives to an Ipod Touch. Unfortunately, from what I've read, they do not have access to the Android app store, which leaves them without any of Google's products and many other useful things I would want.
This leads me to my other questions about Android in general. What I'm looking to do is treat my Android device exactly as I do my Windows computer, where I can just browse the internet for applications, download whatever I want, and then simply install it to the device.
Is this possible to do on Android? Is it even necessary to have access to the App Store? Can I just go to the application's homepage, download the .apk file, and install it to my device? Do I need root access to be able to do this?
I wouldn't mind having a stripped down Arcos device if I could still get all the applications I want and just use it like I do my computer, but with all the variations on the Android OS I'm not sure if this is possible or not.
I apologize for the mess of questions. I guess what I want is whatever would be the closest
experience to just using my Windows PC on a small, cheap, Ipod Touch-like device.
You can install the apks without the Android Market, but most of them aren't available on the internet in legal ways. On the android market site you can't download the apk nor on any other site (like:appbeain) so you have to look on the developer's site or search a torrent
For you first question Samsung has two alternatives for the ipod, the Galaxy S 4 WiFi and the Galaxy S 5 WiFi. The difference is only in the screen size, the first is 4" which isn't too big (for me). I don't know if they're already available, but I think it worths to wait for them

The Samsung devices looked good but there doesn't seem to be a date for release here (America). The other problem is that I've read quite a bit how Samsung is notoriously bad for providing updates. Since Android is evolving rather quickly with new features being added all the time, receiving timely updates is of utmost importance to me. I guess then I will have no other choice than to root? (Assuming a root is even available and roms can be loaded)
I just wish Google could provide their version of Android on their website to download (it is opensource after all isn't it?) so that when I got my device, I could just replace the out of date Android version with Google's recent build. I don't understand why this couldn't be possible?
The main problem is that the phone's hardwares are different so the manufacturer have to create the apropriate drivers + a few of them has costum launchers like Sense or TouchWiz and these have to be updated too

Hi,
I really want this app for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1...
http://www.samsung.com/global/article/articleDetailView.do?atcl_id=15
But, it has gone from the market. I don't need a modified version or anything, just the standard Samsung apps for tablet with the latest improvements so I can dual view my TV and tab, and change the source etc....
Thank you.
Anyone know guys?
Looking for one of the earlier versions that actually work.
Specific tab version, not phone versions.
Is there an app out there that can capture the s-pen input and make it a bluetooth input device or if there isnt how possible would it be to make one.
i want to add being able to use it as a graphics tablet for PC/MAC to its Rooted (or even unrooted) Features. the only way i can think how is a input hook on the device

There are a few options available for using your Note 10.1 as a graphics tablet (with varying degrees of success I might add) , however none that I know of that would take the tablet or s-pen input and turn it into bluetooth.
You didn't mention an OS so here are several options
GfxTablet
http://rfc2822.github.io/GfxTablet/
This is for GNU/Linux, but it's the best working method i've found so far. It lets you use your tablet as a graphics tablet, pressure sensitivity included.
S-Tablet

This is supposed to work on Windows, but I could never get it to work on my Win 7 x64 system. Others have reported success with it. Good luck using the website, as it's mostly in Korean.
Hope this helps you out. I personally ended up Dual Booting Windows and Linux in order to use the GfxTablet app, but whatever works best for you. I was looking for an excuse to install GNU/Linux anyway.
Well i guess its time to start working on an android solution then. any coders interested give me a shout
Hello,
I just bought this, it's not a major brand and so I knew I wasn't going to have everything as easy as my samsung phone and here's my first problem.
I have two apps I want to install that won't which are Wase and Escort Live, both traffic apps. Both when I go to the android app. store give me a "This item is not compatible with your device." message.
The OS is the same version as my Samsung Note 2 phone (4.4.2) which has both those apps. and I question if there really is a compatibility issue that would matter.
So, is there way to find out exactly what the app is looking for that it can't find that's making it incompatible?
Is there a way of installing an app. even if playstore thinks there's a problem? Maybe there's an app that will make a device look like to playstore it's got what the app. wants?
I bought this device to experiment with, not so much as a work tool, so I have no problem rooting it or whatever if needed although it's rare enough there might not be a known way to root it.
Any help appreciated.
I have an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5113) on which I'd like to run a piece of software (Square Point of Sale) that requires Android 4.4+ for a specific piece of functionality. That's the only real requirement they list for the software; Square says it will work on generic tablets running 4.4+, and on the Galaxy Tab 4 specifically. The software itself runs fine on 4..2.2 on my Galaxy 2 (just without the missing functionality).
With a lot of difficulty, I managed to get the tablet upgraded to Android 6.0.1, but to my chagrin the software has not enabled that additional feature. I'm at a loss as to how they might be detecting whether or not it can run if it is not basing that on the android version. I did try to change the device model from GT-P5113 to SM-T235 (and also SM-T237p) using both the settings global device_name and the field in /system/build.prop, and that has not enabled the functionality.
What else could it be looking at to figure out if this feature should be enabled? It does rely on bluetoothm but the galaxy 2 has bluetooth (and in fact a different feature in the Square software is enabled and uses Bluetooth). But of course there could just be some hardware thing it is not detecting (but then it is curious that they say they'll support arbitrary tablets with Android 4.4+).
And ideas welcome!

If you have modified everything in system to make it appear as a Tab 4 then I'd say it's probably a hardware or kernel incompatibility.
