It would be helpful to have some specifics...
1. What games are you trying?
2. What ROM are you running?
Those are the big two...

Dude has a good point, more info would be helpful. But you can edit your build.prop to spoof the market that you have a different device.
Sorry I have the infected rom 3.5 and games like NBA Jam and Max Payne for example

One of the fairly popular ROMS on the board was using a build that reported something other than being a t-bolt. It happened to crop up when I was using bootmanager and it was a bit upset at one of the roms.
In checking-it was ODJDub. A lot of EA games run much tighter checks than others. By modifying the build file, you can tell these "checks" what device you have. It's fairly common when you slap the droid OS on a non android device like Nook Colors, HP touchpads, etc.

You need to change
ro.product.device
ro.product.board
ro.product.name
Change them to something like the HTC flyer or another tablet should resolve your issue, you'd have to Google it though, as I'm not sure of the proper entries for other devices.

No. However, I would make a back up copy of your build file and name it like build.old and keep it safe. If you wish to restore your checks to broadcasting the tbolt name, simply rename the current build file and rename build.old back to build.prop. It's just a matter of whether or not you think renaming files is quicker than editing them.
The stood charge is a duel core phone so more games for it. Our phone is single core and not as good for gaming as more.cores are needed.

WRONG, yet again...
Might wanna start checking facts before you post anymore in these forums.
That applies to both you and your alter ego "Entitled".
The Droid Charge has a single-core 1Ghz Hummingbird processor on VZW.
The issue lies within the build.prop, as already correctly mentioned above.
In fact, I wonder if the OP has applied one of the modified build.props posted over at InfectedRom.
Anyway, editing that should fix you back up.
Otherwise, there are also modded versions of the Play Store out there with device specific restrictions removed, though they tend to be outdated fairly quickly.

Not sure if this is the correct area but I have a few questions:
How well does the tablet preform?
How do you guys find it?
Is it good for gaming?
How's the battery life of the device?
Is it worth the amount of money people are selling it at?
What do you recommend the 8 GB or 16 GB
Might have a few more but that's all for now, hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks.
1. Fantastically, I haven't noticed any lag, no unresponsiveness at all
2. It's a great device and is built sturdily, the only problem I have with it is that the keyboard is just little too wide to type while holding it, it's possible but mistakes are common
3. Excellent, I've been playing Shadowgun, Need For Speed, Angry Birds, Cogs and World of Goo on it and it's been performing really well, no lag at all and the screen size is just right, and it even keeps the games in memory after opening lots of other apps and it responds really well.
4. Great, got about 7 hours out of it while gaming solidly with screen on auto brightness, when on apps other than games it lasts about 8 hours and a half
5. Yes, considering it does everything rather well, I thought reading would be difficult but it's not
6. If you download a lot of the "bigger" games from the Play Store, then go for the 16GB, if not, everything is cloud based so just go for the 8GB, unless you want to store stuff for offline use

Thank you so much for your informative feed back, could I install a 32 GB MicroSD card? If so that would be cheaper, since it's quiet a lot for a 16 GB Version and its only double the capacity!
Sorry for double comments, but does the launcher do landscape? I saw somewhere it don't do that, or maybe there's a setting for that?

There are two hacks to get this fixed. One is build. prop edit. the other i think is a framework xml edit (dont quite me on the second) Its a assumption but im sure its framework related. I do not have my tablet yet :crying:
This will most likely require you to Root your tablet.
Awe why don't they just add a setting like most launchers ;(

I'm sure you know it does landscape except when on the launcher screens, but mine didn't have "auto rotation " enabled out of the box. If anyone isn't getting landscape when browsing the web, etc., check your settings.
BTW, I just use Apex Launcher and now have landscape on the homescreen too.

The mobile network unlock is called SIM unlocking, which allows you to switch to other networks. Bootloader unlocking, the most commonly talked about here on XDA, means modifying your device to allow custom versions of Android.
Probably means the second one then, so that's equivalent to rooted? or not?
Another thing is, the USB port on the device, can that be used for any keyboard? maybe also a usb hub, so i can connect a mouse to it also?

Keyboard/mouse: yes. USB host capability (for expanding the storage of the device via flash drive): only when rooted so far. An update might fix it if enough people complain, but for now, you have to root it and get stickmount (or a similar app).
And shouldn't this thread really be in Q and A?

I tried that a while ago. He said "android already does that, when I logged in it downloaded all my apps" i tried explaining that he had to download them and with titanium backup it saves your settings and everything and you don't need data, but he didn't listen saying he was on WiFi and something else. And he says he's okay with the virus protection 4.2 offers.
I just figured out why its useless talking to him though. He's a iSheep. He only has a nexus 7 and 4 because Google gave them to him.

I'm tired of flashing ROMs, after a G1, Vibrant, Galaxy Tab and GS2. I'm currently happy enough with proper unskinned, pure Android on my N7 & N4. I don't feel compelled to root either one. It sounds like some of you think that makes me a bad person! LOL
My old Galaxy Tab is on CM9, used by my 7 y.o. son. The GS2 is on CM10, used by my 12 y.o. daughter. I consider both more imperfect combinations than 4.2 on my Nexxi. Great, best options for their hardware, but the Nexxi are superior. My daughter wants an N4 when they're back in stock. I now want a N10 to complete the trifecta.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
yah its user preference. Some people get tired of flashing ROMs, like myself and in the end of the day I just want phone to work reliably. BUT i am rooted!
I love the aspect of custom kernels most. You can improve performance, battery life or even add features to the device.
Don't bother the guy into rooting. I've rooted since my Og moto droid. Back then you wanted more performance or features that didn't come stock. Aosp has hit a point where I don't need to root anymore. So many Roms out there that claim its been optimized, zipalinged , faster this and that battery this and that. It always ended up buggier than **** days later. Rooting takes time, research, more time.
4.2 has everything I need. I don't need ti because I don't need to wipe my phone. There are no preinstalled apps I need to get rid of. Tethering is included.
Android is about choice. Please don't label someone an isheep because they are happy with what they have.
Root is 1 file. Why not?
Modify clock speed
Modify the screen colors(Voodoo i think)
Performance gains(ext4, jit, etc)
Fix Bugs in stock Rom
Can fix compatibility with apps
Remove Bloatware if exists
Access to Root apps like ChainFire 3D
Titanium backup
Don't need anymore reason

Not exactly, all rooting does, is essentially gives you "Admin" rights to the system, to change/add things to the system as you see fit.
If I take you car analogy, it would be more like this "You have a car, and you need to get to a part of the engine that is covered by a panel, but you need a special screwdriver to open it", rooting is the equivalent of you getting that screwdriver.
Nothing has actually change to the car, other than you can now get access to parts you couldn't before.
Technically for Samsung devices at least, you don't even need to be rooted to install a modified ROM, as there are guys out there, capable of creating ROMs that are pre-rooted and will flash to your device like an official variant using Odin.
Custom ROMs in the zip variety, can only be flashed with a custom recovery, which as yet, does not exist for the GC and neither do any custom firmware builds.
But to answer the OP, I am rooted and I have done things like change the DPI of the screen to something that I personally find more appealing to use. As well as add photoshpere abilities to the camera. You could when rooted, delete / disable pre-installed apps that you don't need or use.
But equally you could also break things rather easily too, if you mess around with things you shouldn't.
