[APP] TenInchLauncher - Get 10" apps on phone & 7" tablet! [4.2 w/o SU, 4.3 with SU]

Description
This app allows you to run apps on your phone (experimentally) and 7" tablet as if you have 10" tablet!

No more YouTube without related videos, no more phone-ish Play Store. All you have to do is tap the application shortcut. The display settings will be reverted as soon as the application is closed or hidden. Enjoy!

Also, unlike with all those DPI changers and switchers (such as LCD Density Modder that soft-bricks Jelly Bean devices), no root is required on Android 4.2 (but on 4.3 it is) and no brick can happen. If you experience any issues, just reboot your device and you are good to go.

This was built for Nexus 7 specifically, but should work on any device with Android 4.2+ as well.

Here are some examples (before and after):
YouTube

Google Play Store

Download

On Google Play

Changelog

Code:

1.5:
- New option added to enable 10" mode automatically on device startup
- Added Android 4.3 compatibility for rooted devices. I am terribly sorry, but Google has made some changes and there is no way to do it without root anymore. But do not worry, it is still 100% safe. No brick risk included.

1.4:
- Experimental phone support. Get tablet YouTube on Nexus 4 and others!
- Initial 30% off sale for (not only) phone users

1.3:
- Global 10" mode was improved, so launcher icons should no longer overlap
- Dramatically improved reliability of Quick launch apps and Shortcuts cleanup, so it shouldn't get stuck in 10" mode anymore

1.2:
- Added option for those who have experienced keyboard issues
- Huge first week sale is now on!

1.1:
- Clean-up process improvements

Re: [APP] TenInchLauncher - Get 10" app layouts on your 7" tablet! No root required!

Any way for this to work on a phone, to make it think we're on a 7" or 10" tablet?

Well, I have no device to test it on, but if you are willing to test, just try it

Only the dpi?
Wondering that's not require root.

Well, check the screenshots on the top

. Some apps have richer layouts for 10" tablets than they have for 7" ones (I made this mostly because of YouTube, which sucks big time on Nexus 7). My app allows you to use the better layouts on smaller device with almost zero effort. That's it

+1

I would like to use in GT7.7@CM10. Already have CM10.1/4.2 out but I still prefer 4.1/CM10

Johny_G · Feb 11, 2013

Unfortunately, the methods I use are only available on Android 4.2. Maybe I can make some root enabled version for older Android, but cannot promise anything.

Johny_G · Feb 11, 2013

First update is up!

Changelog
1.2:
- Added option for those who have experienced keyboard issues

Johny_G · Feb 16, 2013

. Also, last day of huge first week sale is coming up. Don't miss it!

Changelog

With the global Setting on the Nexus 7 the status bar is a bit cropped(as you can see on the clock and icons on the top right )
When you open the notifications panel, the statusbar is not cropped anymore because it covers a little whatever app you are

I hope this can be fixed. Beside this problem the app is magical

Johny_G · Feb 17, 2013

I'm still working on this. The status bar is a *****

. As well as the navigation buttons. But I beleive I'll find a way.

A pity it don't work in my RAZR Maxx with ICS. It should be of great use when I use it on Webtop 3.0 mode in my TV via hdmi 1080p.

Some apps opens in webtop mode in the same way as it opens in phone mode.
Your app could solve it.

Not sure if this app requires root, but if it does, there may be a better alternative.

The xposed framework mode has a module for app specific DPI setting which may be a better solution for those of you who want for e.g. the youtube app to always be at the 10" display mode. It is also reversible.

However, I must say this app is great for a myriad of other uses, the most prominent that comes to mind would be for app testing.

TenInchLauncher does not require root, and is not invasive in any way. That's why I made it. I have previously soft-bricked my tablet multiple times by using root-powered apps, and I just got pissed
