How to make non-iPad specific apps, iPad Size Compatible

Using SSH or your favorite USB Browser. Make sure you have afc2add installed from cydia or rock.

1. Navigate to the app you want to make compatible in /var/mobile/Applications
   
2. Open the info.plist in the applications main folder
   
3. Add the follow:

<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
<array>
<integer>1</integer>
<integer>2</integer>
</array>


Respring and then you should have a nice iPad size app

Thanks @ JStraitiff, look forward to a more automated solution at some point in the future.

what are we using to navigate

[StealthBravo]

Using SSH or your favorite USB Browser. I prefer iFile because I can edit everything from my iPad or iPhone

[z3r01]

i used disk aid but had to add the

a2f whatever from cydia

but wait stealth, property list editor opens , so i put UIDevice whatever on key then what lol

[StealthBravo]

You just place the key at the bottom of the list and respring your device

Sorry to sound like a jacka$$ but how do i use iFile. I have it on here now but dont seem to understand how to navigate around and change things. Is there a wiki for this?

[StealthBravo]

Not for iFile. Just use the back button in the top left hand side to get to the root of the phone. Double check that you have afc2add installed.

[StealthBravo]

[z3r01]

TROUBLE - After I installed afc2add and it restarted...I know have a big iPhone. I cant get sbsettings to come up so I can respring and cydia and the rest of the JB apps are gone. Please help.

Thanks in advance.
