Installed apps are in phone mode instead of tablet mode - Remix OS for PC

Hi,
Every app I install from google play are set in phone mode. It would be great if there is a way to install tablet versions of the apps.
For example in Chrome (installed from google play) I dont get the tablet interface with multiple tabs etc. In gmail I dont get the interface with the side panel.
Is there a way to force these apps to show the tablet versions or force google play to only let you install tablet versions of apps?.
Tkx

hmmm...enable the developer mode and extra developer mode by tapping on the build no (?)
Just go to Settings > About and tap like crazy on those infos. It will unlock the dev and extra dev settings.
Then, there is an option somewhere to enable or disable phone mode for apps.
good luck.

Can also root and chande pdi in build prop

[GUIDE] Things to do after rooting Grand Prime, focused on privacy setup mainly.

Hi people!
I recently rooted my grand prime and i want to share the modifications and tweaks that you can apply to your phone.
Mine is the G530FZ, but these can be applied to any grand prime, since this settings are generic even to other phones.
I am very interested in improve the privacy and the functionality of my phone, and some settings don't need root, but im going to share with you anyway since improves your privacy.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable Dev Options:
Go to About this device, Compilation number and press it repeatedly until it says "Now you are a developer!"
Go back, developer options and tick USB Debugging to enable ADB over USB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Busybox, using Smart Install (Safest), this is important for most of tweaks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I disabled KNOX, SAMSUNG SUPPORT TOOL and bloats like:
-Play Music
-Play Kiosk
-Play Videos
-Drive
-Samsung Billing
-Play Games
-Galaxy Apps
-Google+
-Samsung Account
-Chrome
And some replaced by:
-Apollo
-FBReader
-MXPlayer
-
-
-
-FDroid (Open Source App Market, your privacy want Open Source!)
-
-
-Firefox
To disable knox and support tool connect your phone through adb or use the terminal emulator and type:
su
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
pm disable com.rsupport.rs.activity.rsupport.aas2
The other apps can be disabled through settings/Application Manager.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Xposed Framework, and then this plugins:
-The POWERFUL GravityBox [KK] (Interface and usability tweaks)
-XPrivacy (A privacy manager that lets you choose what information can be read by an application, asking you when the application tries to read something like contacts, use superuser, read messages and so on.)
-XPrivacy in App Info (Injects the XPrivacy settings in app info for the selected app)
-XHalo Floating Windows (Something like a window manager, lets you use apps in the way of windows or anything like that)
-Call Blacklist Pro (The name says all)
-App settings (To fix issues with the dpi change, I will explain it later)
-Xposed Preference Injector (To inject xposed plugins settings on the settings app)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To control what applications connect though WIFI and what though 3G I used AFWall+, and configured it like that:
Mode: Black list (Block Selected) --> This can be done pressing the message that says: Mode: White list (Allow Selected)
On Options/Preferences/UI Preferences I unchecked LAN Control.
Then you can check the apps you want on WIFI, on 3G, on none of that, or unchecked for WIFI and 3G
The first time you need to go to Options/Enable Firewall, and every time you modify the settings press Options/Apply.
Is useful if you have a Bank application and you are afraid about ARP Poisoning on WIFI (Man in the middle) or things like that and you often connect to public WIFI's. You can block WIFI for this app, and let only connect trough 3G.
Or you can block data hungry apps to work only on wifi and mantain your 3G data usage on acceptable limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed
-Performance Control (The performance app on AOKP I think o.o')
With this app i changed the DPI using the build.prop editor on the last tab, and changed ro.sf.lcd_density to 190
Then you need to use Xposed App Settings plugin to set the DPI's of this apps to 240, because are made to this DPI's and looks ugly, and some even not work:
-Camera
-Contacts
If you have any other app looking ugly after DPI change, use this fix, and tell us here
Also the pin numbers on lockscreen will move to the left, but it works, and if you change the DPI's of com.android.systemui the status bar and the notification bar will look fat... (o-__-O)
Don't change cpu settings, i did that and look that does nothing... XD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I am afraid about predictive keyboards and where they send what they predict, so I installed the only Open Source keyboard I found really useful:
-AnySoftKeyboard
It can be installed from FDroid or Google Play, I think that the google play edition updates often
Play a little bit with the settings to get your keyboard of choice, it can be tricky at first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are really conscious about your privacy, you can search for the dev reports that apps send to the developers without your consent and disable it, if you don't care about that, this reports can be useful to some devs
And last, and the most conspiranoic app here:
-Android IMSI catcher
This app theorically warns you about IMSI stations near you. This stations are fake GSM antennaes with encryption disabled to hear what you hear and read what you send, explaining it quickly.
I don't know if this app really works, but if it works, and you have spyes around you, tell me if it works ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if i wrote something wrong, I'm don't speak english on my country, I only know the english I learned from series, games and documentation
If you need some screenshots for any explained here, tell me
Cheers!

After rooting your G530 is booting normally?
To remove system apps Nobloat app is a option for users not familiarized with adb prompt & comand lines.
Nope, i need to install phillz recovery to avoid recovery on reset, besides that is working fine
Cheers.

Try Wipe Cache from recovery..if does not works, download stock rom matching ur phon csc and rom version from sammobile .. then flash it through odin, then re root... make sure this time u flash those two files with method exactly as suggested in the root post.if u get boot into recovery prob again then make sure wipe cache n then reboot.

@kentone, which method of rooting did you use?
Is it then KingUser or SuperSU?
Maybe you could throw a link to rooting manual?
one thing I'm happy about is using Greenify and Clean master to hibernate and block apps from autostarting, it leaves me with 320-380 mb free RAM most of the time, however if u add whatsapp and chat apps, you wont get notifications till you open the application which I personally prefer it to be like this.
I rooted with odin method, i have the reboot to recovery bug, but is not a problem for me, this is my 'production' phone and i will not touch it so much until we have cyanogenmod or something. Or when we know why the reboot to recovery bug appears o.o'
Sent from my SM-G530FZ using XDA Free mobile app
About greenify and clean master, throw clean master away and dont hibernate the apps with notifications like IM apps XD if you want more ram download kernel adiutor and put the memory preset on ''agressive'' or one level down that! Dont touch the cpu settings, it does nothing with this samsung rom u.u'

@kentone what if I dont disable the knox ? or what if it tripped ? what are the side effects ? and what is the purpose of knox? sorry I dont know that , and thanks in advance for your answer , I hope you will answer my question
In gravity box, cant able to change signal cluster look. Cant add day of week to status bar tweaks. Help me please. I have selected lollipop icons but they are not changing. I also tried reboot.
Amazing things you can do after rooting
Yeah but there are lot more benefits of rooting even though there are certain risks , . Most amazing benefit I think is we can remove bloatware and also block ads which is brainstorming though there are still deelopments going on in that field. Have you tried adblocker Browser??

could you please help me to install xposed framework in g531h

Sideloading apps on gear fit 2 ?

Does anyone know how to sideload apps on the gear fit 2?
There's an option in the gear app to accept install of apps from unknown sources, so I'm assuming this will enable us to sideload apps (same as on android)
Have anyone been able to extract apps from their gear fit 2?
I'm just assuming tizen is similar enough to android that we should be able to extract apps from it.. Has anybody been able to extract an installed app?
Not sure if it's possible, but if you go into Settings > Gear Info > About Device and tap 5 times on the software version you get a prompt for a PIN code on a blue keyboard - maybe you can enable addition debug features there? I assume this is for entering service codes, haven't tried any known Samsung ones yet.
I was playing with the ones at the store, I noticed they have a different model number SM-R360X and also have the ability to update via wifi (they have a newer firmware as well). My Fit2 can't take the update via the Samsung store (seems like a ton of people can't, given the 1/5 star rating), so I'm going to try and figure out how to switch it to that mode.
*Edit* Just found the original Fit had this too, this thread has some of the service codes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739949
Although don't do the test mode > dimming, you'll have to force reboot the band by holding the home button.
*Edit2*
Well then, apparently by entering the dimming mode and then holding home, it takes you to the band's recovery screen / bootloader. Options are:
Continue, Download, Download (Wireless), Factory Command, Recovery, PowerOff.
Playing with these, there seems to be quite a few stuff. Including having it service for a special Access Point.
Did anything more come of this?
Yes, it's possible to sideload apps. You can use the Smart Development Bridge (sdb) to connect to the gear fit 2 and install apps. You can also do it directly from Tizen Studio if you're making your own app for it.
I haven't been able to get privileges to extract apps, although I haven't tried very hard.
See https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/web-tools/running-and-testing-your-app/sdb
Does anyone have any links to apps actually worth sideloading?

DeX Mode on S10 - apps not running any longer in desktop mode!!!!

Hi guys,
just switched from the Note 9 with latest Android version to the S10. Both are running well with the DeX Station and DeX Pad.
I restored all my apps through Play Store & Samsung Cloud. :angel:
But when I now try to start some apps, an error message appears: app can not started in DeX mode -try phone mode
I've currently tested VNC Viewer, LastPass and 1Password -and a lot of other apps are running in a non-resizeable window. I tried DeX hub, DeX dev mode - same issue.
What the hell have has Samsung changed with the S10 bloatware?
Any hints?
Thanks
stef
Haven't gotten around to messing with dex yet but try this.
Go to developer options, scroll to the very bottom, then turn on "Force activities to be resizable"
Just in case you don't know how to enable developer options, go to settings > about phone > software information and tap build number repeatedly until the toast says developer options has been enabled. Once it's enabled it'll be at the bottom of settings below about phone.
Hmmm, Samsung has aired an update a few minutes ago, which forced a restart of my phone.
Whatever it was, the issues are gone and the apps are now working as expected.

Many thanks. I already did this based on the hints in the Dex Hub app, but with no success.
Maybe I haven't restarted the phone twice to force the settings before...

Hide Developer Options from an app?

Is there any way to hide the fact that developer mode is enabled from an app?
I'm simply trying to mirror my phone to my PC so i have all of it's functions available here. This is necessary and not something i can do without, because the charger port is broken so it can not charge unless put face down.
To do this however i need to have ADB enabled.
Some of the apps i use however throw a fit because developer options are enabled, even though i'm not doing anything with them.
What do i do?
-If i disable developer mode i can only move/use the phone when it's not charging.
-If i have developer mode enabled, i can't use some of the background apps i want to use all the time.
-If i hide system variables from the app using something like Xposed and rootcloak, it would break google pay.
A) Are there any other apps apart from xposed with the rootcloak module that can hide the developer mode?
B) Is there any way to get a screen and input mirror set up (preferably over IP or wirelessly) without ADB enabled?
So i guess it's impossible then?
It is asked a long time ago but to help other people in the same situation I found an Xposed app in Google Play.
The application is called [XPosed]DevOptsHide
You can download it directly from Google Play but in order for it to work you need to use Xposed or Lposed.
[XPosed]DevOptsHide (Hide deve - Apps on Google Play
Bypasses check of the apps which requires developer options disabled
play.google.com
It is working fine on the Lyf Banking (French) app (for enabling contactless payment) for me rooted with Magisk 25.2 Delta, Zygisk Enabled, and Lposed (Zygisk) on Pixel 7.
Hope it helps others.
Still working on my pixel 5 on the latest update of android 13. Thank you!

Android Auto - mi10

Hi all, i can't seem to get this to work, I can't even see the app to select...when I go to play store it says update which I do then it just says uninstall after...no open option is available...I can't see the app within the app section in settings to try and uninstall from there...if anyone can provide any insight that would be great.
Thanks
Pl download and install "Android Auto for phone screens" from Playstore.It will enable you to see Android Auto in Apps section.
Thanks, I did do that but has made no difference, when I plug the phone into car I get a haptic rumble then the car stereo says check if your device is compatible with Android Auto... strange as I use to use my Poco phone f1 with Android Auto in the same car... it's very odd.
I also cleared playstore service cache but didn't help... I'm at a loss!?
Same problem here
hello to all of you
it's normal since 1 or 2 version of android auto it no longer appears in the list of applications.
But he's here.
To desinstall it just go into parameters -- applications -- manage the applications and it will appear to be able to install it.
To use it just connect the phone to the main USB of the car and it will launch automatically.
Here's a good day
I have a ford focus mk4 and android auto work correctly with global EEA mi 10 rom (android 11 too) I confirm new Android auto Version don't show app icon on phone you can find AA menu setting in phone setting under Google or connectivity after A11 update. My problem is Google maps lost navigation and some time close itself during use. I try to battery optimization things but don't resolve my problem
