[Q] Disguise Tablet as another? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
Is there a way to disguise my Tablet (Medion Lifetab) as something different, something more common, like a Nexus 10 or Galaxy 10 or something, so I can access certain Apps from the store? Searched, but couldn't really find something.
Thanks in advance

Apps from Google Play store don't know what type of Tablet you have, it doesn't work that way. I'm just guessing here, but I think it depends what flavour of Android (Gingerbread, Jelly Bean, Kit Kat) your running and the version of the App Store your running as to what you can download. (Maybe someone with more knowledge could confirm this)
Best bet for you is to research Custom ROM's and see what is avaliable, you might be able to run CyanogenMod or something. Look for forums for your specific tab maybe google it.
Hope that helps.
** Quick Google search for "Medion Lifetab Custom ROM" brought this up, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097162 suggest you start learning to use the internet better ;0)

[Q] Questions about rooting a nook (ROMs, apps, etc)

My brother is going to be purchasing a Nook Tablet soon, and he asked me to root it and install an Android based ROM to it.
Now, I know NOTHING about Nooks. From looking around on the development page, it seems that CyanogenMod is the only supported ROM for the Tablet. If there are any others, what do you recommend?
Secondly, will he be able to use Android apps? I know he wants to get the emulator apps (N64, Gameboid, Gensoid, etc). Will those all work on a CM Nook?
Thanks

There is Cyanogenmod 7 and 9 ROMs, a few rooted stock ROMs, and I think there's one MIUI here in the Development subforum. CM7 is what most people go with since it offers the most features without sacrificing much stability.
He can get Android apps and all of the emulators should work fine. I can confirm that psx4droid and n64oid work perfect, and I'm sure others do too.

Google Wallet Support

Sorry if I don't make any sense , this is my first post.
But I wanted to know if theres anyway I can use/enable the Google Wallet Application on my Sony Xperia S as it has NFC support which is required to use Google Wallet.
I read some fourms that there is a cracked version that will work if if you install CM 7. But I wanted to know if this is true or if they are any other methods because I really want to get this to work!
Any help or information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

As I know, in this moment it is impossible to use Google Wallet in other phones then a few more supported by Google. Cracked versions could be installed on other devices, also XPS, but it dosen't work. In some cases (Samsung phones) you can install cracked version, but I would avoid this - it is your money security matter. I see, that lack of GW on other devices - is Google choice. Maybe they just testing this feature and we have to wait.
yeah, suck google, release the thingy to everyone, why the wait, it's been out for awhile now.
i tried a lots of methods to install it but no go any way. but mastercard is releasing its similar wallet app very soon in which you'll be able to register any credit/bank card, not just mastercards, and there you go, go to hell google, you lost
.
I really want GW for my SXS, too

[Q] Trak tPad-7110 E

Hello! I have recently bought Trak tPad-7110 E in Lithuania. It comes with Android 4.0.4, Baseband version: 1.4rc3, Kernel version 3.0.8, Build number 20120713-F712.
I am not allowed to post links yet, but if you google the name of the tablet, you'd come to the website which is in polish. google "Trak tPad"
I believe it is manufactured in either China or Poland. When hard resetting, default language is Polish. My question is, Would it be possible to install a fresh android version on it, without the retarded apps this tablet comes with. It is bogged with useless stuff that slows the tablet down, and that is my reason why I really want to install vanilla version of Android.
What version would you recommend installing? Is it even possible? I have not found any information on the internet regarding this tablet.
Thanks in advance!
Bump... Guys, I really need your help!

Well, I haven't really tried yet, as I do not have much of knowledge regarding android rooting, but I was looking forward to someone who maybe did that.
About the tablet... Programs stall pretty often, when updating apps, tab is unusable because of the stutter and lag. With no background proccesses running, it is a fine tablet to browse the net, no stutters there or anything. Same goes with apps.

[Q] Manual keyboard??

Hi, I tried searching for similar questions to this, but didnt find anything, so thats why i wanted to make a new post. So I was trying to play different kinds of games on the web, for example, flash games, but (I dont know if you could have guessed, I couldnt bring up the keyboard for the input box).

Oh and Im trying to find a solution for this problem doing all this on my Nexus 4 with jelly bean 4.2.2 if that helps.

[Q] unable to access playstore on greek tablet - newbie

Hi to all At my wits end trying all sorts of tricks to get this tablet to work and was told to join this site as it is the best. Basically I bought a 7 inch tablet in Greece and it has a flavour of android on it that can't access the google app store. It uses something called 'slideme market' which is apparently like google apps. from all I've learnt I believe I have to put on a new standard version of android. I know it's called 'rooting' and thats about it ! Can anybody out there point me in the right direction or offer help please. I'm fairly new to all of this... including the use of forums ! I can get any tech info out of the system which is made by 'Crystalaudiovideo' but they tell me there are no plans to upgrade the software as it involves buying licences...Thanks guys :good:
