[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lookitschris:
I have an i717.. but dont see why it wouldnt work over here.. so here you go.. this will give you actual 1280x800 resolution ALL OF your market abilities back (i think.. haha) .. plus chameleon launcher! (its worth 10 bucks man) ..

So i was an idiot and payed the 10 dollars for Chameleon Launcher thinking i would be able to find the actual apk file somewhere.. or that they might email me a copy of it.. yea i was wrong.. so i went looking around for a way to trick the market and came across a few build.prop tweaks.. none of which worked.. so i decided to pick up my sons Nexus 7 this evening and give it a try myself.. and this is what i came up with.. my i717.. honestly believes its a nexus 7.. ****.. so does google..

haha yea.. i had a good laugh when i recieved that email.. anyway.. here we go..

First things first, if you arent already running in tablet mode do so.. your settings should look like this.. This will require a reboot.. go ahead..

** If you arent running paranoid.. you can do this with one step using RomToolBox

Download that.. go to the build properties (top right corner).. and change the DPI to 160.. this will also cause a reboot.. go ahead..

After this whole deal is finished you can change them to bigger if you want.. but as far as i know.. for this to work.. they need to be straight tablet for now..

Next.. Make a backup.. im not responsible and alla that.. you break you buy..

Okay.. So now that you have a backup.. open up your ES File.. or whatever you use.. and navigate to your build.prop (/system/) should be right there..

Next.. make a copy of it and just let it sit there.. Just in case...(copy of build.prop)

Now.. the fun stuff.. make sure you change exactly what i have changed.. or else it wont work.. not sure if its down to the spaces and what not.. but who knows.. i sure dont..

Everything in BOLD are the lines that need to be changed..

The BOLD and ITALIC is what i actually changed it to..

ro.product.model=Nexus 7

ro.product.brand=google

ro.product.name=nakasi

ro.product.device=grouper

ro.product.board=grouper

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.manufacturer=asus

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

ro.wifi.channels=

ro.board.platform=msm8660

# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device

ro.build.product=Nexus 7

# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint

ro.build.description= nakasi-user 4.1.1 JRO03D 402395 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint= google/nakasi/grouper:4.1.1/JRO03D/402395:user/release-keys

ro.build.characteristics=tablet

ro.cm.device=grouper

# end build properties

# system.prop for SGH-T717

Okay.. so now that thats over.. MAKE SURE AND SAVE THE FILE.. or else you would have just wasted your time..

Reboot..

Now.. if everything went smoothly.. as soon as your phone reboots.. you should receive that email from Google.. and your apps should start to update on their own.. to the tablet type apps..

Here is some proof if you dont believe it..

Download Display Tester and try it out for yourself if you REALLY dont believe..

And now youre done.. now i honestly only did this because i wanted chameleon launcher.. and i dont work for them or anything.. but it really is a nice launcher for our phone.. and it works pretty damn well.. its worth 10 bucks even if you only use it for a week.. give it a try..

Chameleon Launcher Play Store

After using a bootleg copy of it.. then installing the real deal.. its awesome.. and with this tweek.. the resolution on the screen is amazing.. icons look crisp and sharp.. everything runs a little smoother.. it just looks pretty damn good.. anyway.. all in all.. your i717 phablet.. is now really.. a tablet.. take that note2! 5.5.. pshh.. im measuring 7.1 son! ... and lets not EVEN get into that 13.43 diagonal.. haha have fun yall!
