How to make believe the tab s tablet is an android smartphone? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I would like to install an application from the playstore (which is the same apk for tablet and smartphone I think: there are is no separate/dedicated application for smartphone and for tablet) and make believe the application when running on my tablet that it is running on a smartphone and not on a tablet.
How to do this?
Thanks

typically a custom rom or if rooted in combination with build prop edits.. you can change build prop to phone info.. i do not believe there is any app that will trick it to thinking its a phone...

Do you mean that the store won't let you install the app on the tablet because it's only for phones? You could just install in on a phone and copy the apk out, they'll all be stored in \data\app I did this with my bank app. You don't need root either as you can copy out from the directory without it, just need a file explorer capable of getting to this directory.

er, close your eyes while holding your tab then tell yourself you're holding a 5" (size depends on imagination) phone?

Root and install xposed
in one of its modules download "App settings"
Then set the playstore DPI to WVGA settings or whatever you prefer

[ MOD ] Enable App Ops in 4.4.2 / KOT49H

For those that want access again to App Ops in 4.4.2 / KOT49H (Google's build), just flash this zip. It's for deodex or stock odex and it will work with ART.

It works for me. I acessed it from this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovidos.android.permissionmanager
If you wan't app ops in 4.4.2 you can also use the xposed module

How?
Using it on Android 4.4.2 with ART engine. Running just fine!!
Thanks a lot!!
A few more information for others:
Google in 4.4.2 removed entry in Settings app that enabled App Ops applications from Play to actually display App Ops function.
This mod revert back commit that Google did in order to prevent us from using it.
You still need App Ops starting app from Google Play (will not promote any here) that is Android 4.4 compatible!
Don't look for 4.4.2 compatible app on Google Play, as such do not exist. If it would exist, then we wouldn't need this mod. right?

OK. There is one.
You have to pay for above (in app purchase), then you can use what ever you want.

The Xposed module I mentioned actually adds an entry in the settings for app ops, no extra app needed

That's true. But Xposed is not ART compatible. Yet.
So, thanks go to OP for providing this.
Yes it works for stock rooted N4 deodexed using dalvik. Thanks.

Can you please explain any differences between it and zrgiu's zip ?
Also why is your zip so big (over 5mb) ? The other is less than 2mb.

The zip in the thread you linked is the apk for his apps ops launcher. The zip here is stock the settings apk that has been modded so you can use an apps ops launcher of your choice.

Thanks. So for stock ROMs that like to update via OTA, better use App Ops X instead of this modified settings apk, right?

Most likely this zip will block OTA. I'm not sure about the app linked, but since it now requires root and would probably have to do some modding to function, it wouldn't surprise me if it also blocks OTA. If uninstalling reverts changes, then you would be ok.

[Q] I'm rooted, now what?

So I just rooted my Nexus 7. I am not interested in changing the ROM, unless I really should, since I really like the Stock ROM. What are some good things to do while rooted?
A side note: I called Google before I did the procedure and they said unlocking the bootloader would not void the warranty. So, that is interesting.
... now you search and find cool things to do with your rooted tablet.
I'll toss you a breadcrumb though- Xposed. The rest is up to you.

Second that - once you've fiddled with a decent number of Xposed mods, there is no turning back :laugh: :good:
I'll toss you three other subjects related to Xposed - MoDaCo, GravityBox and App Settings You'll come a long way with those!
Also, the first things I install after updating firmware are ROM Toolbox, Root Explorer and Xposed. Then you can do anything!

Run Linux on it in a chroot ?
Do some hacking to see how the device works
Install busybox once you rooted, if the root process did not install it.
I have a version of busybox (1.21.1) compiled using the android-ndk
As some of the google search pages do not tell you, that if you don't use the ndk it breaks busybox's wget, traceroute, ping etc.
I know their are apps to install busybox, but they want a "donation" which usually I don't mind doing, but not for something I can compile on my own.

Disabling the stock clock/weather screen on the KLD

Hello,
I have a KLD unit and I'm wondering is there any way - besides installing Android from another manufacturer - to get rid of the first screen that's blocked with the clock/weather widget (or should I say - app?)
I would like to delete the widget/app and free up the screen. The weather widget is terrible, doesn't even want to work properly under either 3G or WiFi. I have no use for it.

You should be able to root by using the *#hct#root# password when entering factory settings, install supersu and then update the binary the normal way and reboot = rooted stock firmware no flashing involved.

OK, thanks. So basically, without rooting, there is NO WAY in KLD software to get rid of that screen, right?

If you want to use that launcher then no, you can use other launchers without rooting tho.

Can you suggest any, instead of just saying change the Launcher?
I use car launcher. Others use nova or next.
It's so easy to do that you could try out any with high ratings till you find one you like.

I agree with the other answeres.
Just root the device with the password *#hct#root#
After that the device will show a dialog if any app needs root access.
You will also find a new Superuser menu in settings menu.
For my device I am currently running the Next 3D launcher (it is not for free on Google Store)
But it looks really awesome with lots of effects / transitions / icons and so on that can be downloaded for free.
Starting to play around with your device you might also want to check out apps that help with memory management like APP2SD or Android Toolkit.
For advanced modding have a look at ROMS from Malaysk (new firmware) - then you will be able to do more or less everything with your device.
Have fun
André

Hi! I would like to keep original launcher but without stock clock and weather! What should I do when I install supersu??? Can you explain in more detail (P.S. I have rooted and updated my device MCU 2.64 KLD) Thanks!
Just install Nova launcher - that doesn't even require root.
Fully customisable and much quicker and lighter than the stock launchers.

I second this. Nova Launcher works great. I use the stock clock widget and a weather widget from 1Weather and it suits my needs.

The solution in my case was just to install a Malaysk ROM and be done with it.
Once you do that, you can select which launcher you use. You can use the NEXT launcher instead which is more versatile and then do the things you want with it.

Need the FM Radio APK from Android 6 of K420n (or compatible firmware)

Tell me first how to extract it from my phone?
If you are rooted you have 2 ways.-
- You can export it using some app like (App Extractor, SDMaid, Titanium Backup...)
- Or use the file browser to check '/data/app', or '/system/app', or '/system/priv-app' dirctories. It should installed as a system app, so should be on '/system /...'.
Note: if it has extra files/folders like libs, or similar,better zip the entire app folder, and it to me.

There is a way to install good lock modules on m Series. Those modules can be installed but not working properly. Some modules get Crash and some like task changer can open successfully but can't be enabled.
How i do install Good lock modules on m series device.
First Download Apk Editor from apkMirror(Dont download it from google play)
After install Apk Editor and open it and select (lets say.....) task changer.apk
and then just rebuild the app. (This can be found on Storage/Apk Editor folder).
then install it. then install nice lock to see those installed plugins.
You can try that method and I tried but it not working. Task changer not crash but it cant be enabled. I think its some kind of permission error. those permissions cant be enabled. So some of XDA Developer is made that work please let me know also.
I also noticed All Samsung M series Devices has Samsung One UI Core and Others has Samsung One UI Version. Those are different platforms. No Knox, No Secure Folder, No Bixby, No Goodlock aps.
im from india
cant install good lock modules on galaxy m30
issue continues to app not installed
help will be appreciated
thanking you
Using lucky patcher, rebuild the apk with "resign with test signture" option. By this, you can install almost any apk but make sure the app is not already installed as system app (in that case, it won't install). Samsung Daily beta, App booster, Clock face, Dictionary app working by this method.
For app booster: use quick shortcut maker from play store or install galaxy labs apk using same resigning method).
You can try few apps I've tested and working properly

Same with me. Im trying with my tab a7. I had used split apk installer to install it. If u find any way plz let me know
