Thanks. I am interested to see if there is a way to make existing apps to
support large screens, for example, modifying their manifest.xml and adding
necessary attribute. Is there any way to do that on a third-party app of
which I don't have the source code?

The apps need to say they support large screens.  See the docs:

I have an android system that could output to a VGA screen in 800x600
resolution. However when I install some existing apps, I notice that
most of the apps can only be displayed in a very small window in the
top center of the screen (like a cellphone screen resolution), instead
of full screen.

I wonder how people get around this issue. I mean, there are a lot of
android tablets and netbooks and I believe their screen resolution
should be more than what is on the cellphone. How do they get all the
android apps to display on the full screen?
