iPhone apps already run full screen.
BUT they run in Double (the 2x button in the corner) pixel mode which looks pretty bad.
But, we can fix this for SOME apps.
We also get to use the big iPad keyboard instead of the tiny iPhone one. (Excellent for facebook chat).
Our Facebook went from this:
to this:
STEPS:
1. Identify the app you want to change/modify.
2. Log into your Jailbroken iPad via ssh.
3. Find that app's application folder. It will be in a random-number/letter folder in
Code:
/private/var/mobile/Applications/randomness/appname.app
Ours was in
Code:
/private/var/mobile/Applications/EAB149E2-74FE-4EC6-AD5C-E624E854EE23/Facebook.app
5. Open it in a text editor, such as wordpad on PC.
5.a)If it is not readable (for example it is one line, run it through the converter Here.
5.b)Save the new plist file to your PC. Rename it to Info.plist again before you forget.6. In the opened Info.plist file (new one if you converted it), look for this
Code:
UIDeviceFamily 1 2
Code:
Code:
UIDeviceFamily 1
Code:
2
Code:
1
8. In SSH, rename the original Info.plist on your device to Info.plist.old just incase something went wrong or you do not like the new look.
9. Copy the new Info.plist to the app folder.
10. Respring and it's done
