[How To] Run iPhone Apps in iPad Compatible Mode

This iPad guide will show you how to hack the iPad and run iPhone apps without any pixel and\or display problems.

There are two ways to make iPhone apps compatible with iPad. One is by installing a little utility named ‘FullForce‘ from Cydia and the second one is by manually adding a few lines of code. We have listed both methods to accomplish this task below.

NOTE: Some apps work perfectly using this method but not every app formats properly. Your iPad must be jailbroken, if you haven't done so you can check out the guide here.

First Method – Install FullForce from Cydia

Step 1

Open the Cydia from your iPad home screen.

Go to Search tab and search for FullForce and install it.

Step 2

Now close the Cydia and go to Settings, go to FullForce listed under extensions and use the switches to set compatibility mode for whichever apps you want.

Enjoy the iPhone app in iPad resolution without any pixel problems.

Second Method – Manually

Step 1

First of all you need to SSH into iPad. (If you don’t know how to then click here)

Step 2

Now navigate to /var/mobile/Applications

and Go to the application of your choice.

Step 3

Open the info.plist to Edit.

and add the following lines right below:

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

Step 4

Simply reboot or respring your iPad and enjoy your app in full iPad resolution without any pixel problems.
