Root Modified build.prop...

[flakito97]

Anyone willing to make it? I'm just having a hard time with a couple apk that are incompatible... I just want my phone to be recognized as another in order to download and use pretty much every apk .

Please and thank you for any help

 

[flakito97]

Anyone got a good start??

Well if the apps you are referring to are games i would use rom toolbox to EDIT the build.prop

change the model and manufacturer to
GT-I9100
Samsung

ro.product.manufacturer samsung
ro.product.model GT-I9100

I used that and was able to play gameloft games and download em.Might want to look around and see what others work.I had to become a "droid razor" for some game lol.

I did not know you can do that. Quite useful.

Be careful when modifying the build.prop guys.

Think of this as Microsoft Window's registry or Mozilla Firefox's about config.

It contains valuable data that tell the operating system how to do things & where to find certain information. Improper editting of this can brick your phone, so always make sure to have a nandroid to fall back on.

An important thing to know for the Connect is that it's default PPI is 242. Changing it might make your icons bigger or smaller, but the Play Store will think you are using a different device even if the ro.build.description & ro.build.fingerprint say otherwise. Happy tweaking!

Just back it up before making changes

I didn't back it up....I just need the type of phone, like Samsung GT-I9100, what type of phone is the connect?

 

[rebelminded88]

[lilonex3]

What's the model number if I want to change it back ?

ro.product.manufacturer LGE
ro.product.model LG-MS840

Man, thank you for that. I really appreciate it. I'm kinda of a regular rooter, and I like to enhance my phones potential.

Well I have an app and a few suggestions if you wanna hear it. Guaranteed

that name tells the apps what phoen you have and thus will allow certain apps to run, google play however uses the device keys

for instance here is a I9000 build.prop

ro.build.description=GT-I9000-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD XXJVT release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9000/GT-I9000:2.3.5/GINGERBREAD/XXJVT:user/release-keys

this is what the google market reads and decides what apps will work etc, so make sure you change the device name/model etc with these keys

need to edit the fingerprint ONLY, dont change other lines

but it's been a while since ive done this.. need to keep it somewhat similar to your device i believe.. like using another LG fingerprint

 

[rebelminded88]

I switched my build.prop back to the original manufacturer and model and apps that were compatible with my phone are not now

How do I get it to work again

 

[LDrifta]

just put it back to what you originally had it at...

 

[flakito97]

Can someone post their own tweaked build.prop??? Saves the noobies time and headaches. With the modifications to allow any app download from the market.

try reinstalling the apps that arent compatible,I had a few issues with some apps not being compatible after I went back after i downloaded a game.but a redownload fixed it.and if you have a backup of that app with titanium you can just restore data after installing said app
