The iPhone apps are automatically scaled to adjust the screen resolution of the iPad which looks pixy-elated and the text is even harder to read. Here is another hack for your newly Jailbroken iPad which will enable iPhone apps to run on the iPad in the native resolution.

The hack works only on the Jailbroken iPads and require to change the key of the specific iPhone apps to run on the iPad in the native resolution. The following tutorial is similar to that, we published yesterday, but here you will change the different key in the info.list file.

1. Install OpenSSH, if not already installed.

• Open Cydia and in the search bar search for “OpenSSh”
• After installing OpenSSH from Cydia reboot your iPad

2. Connect iPad 3G to your Computer and close iTunes if running.
3. Download SFTP and FTP client from the following websites to access the system files on your iPad.

• Cyberduck for Mac
• WinSCP for Windows

4. Run the above clients according to your Mac or Windows platform and enter the login details to access your iPad.

WinSCP

• Hostname: The IP address of your iPad. The iP is located here Settings>WiFi
• User name: root
• Password:
  alpine
• Protocol: SCP

Cyberduck

• Server: The IP address of your iPad. The iP is located here Settings>WiFi
• Username: root
• Password: alpine
• Protocol: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)

5. When logged in, Navigate to the iPhone app in your iPad  /var/mobile/Applications/ .  Every app comes in a folder with a name like this (F1DCF4E2-0D72-4720-GCF1-F914B5208F55) and  you’ll have to check every folder to find the app inside.

6. Once you’ve found the app, like Tweetie 2, look for the info.plist file, select the info.plist file of that app and edit it with TextEdit and
add the following lines as in the picture

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

8. Save the info.plist file and after disconnecting, reboot your iPad.
9. Try running the iPhone app with the correction and you will now find it compatible with the iPad screen resolution.
