Help
I'm fed up of apps (eg IMDB and Google+) displaying the wrong UI on this tablet so I'm wanting to change the build.prop file to spoof the tablet to appear as a different yet more popular one that allows all the apps to display correctly.
Does anyone know a good tablet to do and which lines I would need to change?

Why not just use the app store work around. If you Google it it replaces a system file ...GPS.location.hardware or something
Then all should work okay

If that doesn't work for you I believe the gt-i9100 settings should work for the t20 as iv used them

i dont know of the top pf my head but here goes with what i did, if you are running any stock rom, or any rooted rom here is what to do,
download the adroid.hardware file off the dropbox here
https://www.dropbox....hjj5/95p7j5RWwW
this file enables the tablet to download any file off the app store, gameloft games ect, the only on i cant download is amazon, but i download aptoide of their website of this and downloaded it from there
then follow these instructions to enable apps i the play store
Enabling the missing apps in the Play Store (Market)
If you don't already have it, download ES File Explorer (my T20 already had it)
Open "settings", choose "apps" then the "all" tab
Find "Google Services Framework", force stop it, then clear cache, press "back" to go back to the list of apps.
Just above will be "Google Play Store", do the same in there, force stop and then clear cache
Open ES File Explorer, press menu > settings
scroll to the bottom and enable everything in "root settings", then a little further up enable "Up to root"
press "back", find "ext_sdcard", go into it, find the xml file you downloaded earlier, long press on it and choose copy
in ES File Explorer press "up" (on the menu bar at the top) until you can see a folder called "system", click it, then "etc", then "permissions"
on the menu bar at the top, press "paste"
reboot your tablet, visit the Play Store and download what you want!
pm me for any more information if required, if you want to as it comes straight to my email, im not often on here thats all
also if running ics, i can edit a build.prop like i did mine to eable wifi/power/system tweaks, to increase battery to around 13-15 hours

i dont know of the top off my head but if you pm me i can send you the details at further date, but in my opinion i would just follow the details on the page i am about to give, it allows access to most apps on a smartq t20 for those few that it doesnt, of which i have only found amazon that doesnt, all gameloft games ect work on the tablet,
you can go to a website called aptoide, and download any .apk file onto your phone and install it, thats what ive done, but in order to have google play acess to all apps follow the details on this page, this will work on stock, custom , jellybean and ice cream sandwich, if you are not rooted please follow insturctions, the rooting process will not work on jb, which is why i run ics, but here we are
if you have stock jb, it comes pre rooted, so skip the rooting and follow the copy and paste steps in order to copy the file to the correct location
http://tabletsdroid....nd-easy-root/p1
if you ahve any more questions feel free to message me in pm, as if you are on ics, and have the work around in this way, as the page states, i can send you an edited build.prop with wifi tweaks, system tweaks, and power tweaks, which saves battery and other little things, my battery currently lasts 13 hours of USE, with sopcast playing
hope this isnt to long and is as much information as you require

Not sure you're getting my problem, apps are in the market fine, they download fine. The are displaying the Phone UI rather than the tablet UI

sorry i had just turned my laptop on and was editing when i received you reply, i do understand, i used this build prop file stting,
http://www.thrivefor...build-prop.html
this is for the nexus, and has the same screen resoloution, if not what i would do is download and install the 4.0.4 v 4.1 file from d3bamod from here, http://www.slatedroi...amod/page__st__
install it and copy the build.prop from that system, which is default to galaxy s 2 i beleive ggt-i9000, and then reinstall your own rom, stock or custom and replace the buildprop file with the one from d3bamod rom, this setting should certainly work,
however on both be sure to clear cache both system and dalvik, and froce stop google play, framework, and clear all cahces on them, then delete your google account, as google only reads the build.prop when signing in it wont recognise any changes untill the account is readded.
other than this i cant really help, i just plaed around till i got mine sorted, however i havent managed to sort it on all app, one i cant fix is speedtest, but maybe thats because there isnt a ui for all apps that is compatable with tablets,
