I knew that much, but I didn't know which field controlled MOD/ROM version. Either way, I've replaced my stock prop.build with one from the ROM build. It's working great, and I appreciate your help.

Decompile Settings.apk. Go to res/layouts/. Here, one of the XMLs represent the 'about phone' screen. Open it. One of the "TextViews" will be the author's name and you can edit it.

In the XML file, it's like this under a particular TextView:-
android:text="@string/xxx"

So you can either find the string in strings.xml knowing its name and edit it (your way) or you can directly write the desired text between the ".."

[Q] Modifying the Build.prop

Hello There
I am really sorry if this has been answered before.
I used to have CM10 on my nexus but i went back to stock because I did not like how many of the apps because "incompatible" or saying my device was not qualified to run this app but it was when it was stock Nexus 4.
Anyways, do I just copy the build prop from a stock rom and use it with CM10 or is there just a few lines to modify in the build prop when CM10 is flashed. Any info was definitely be appreciated. THANKS!

You shouldn't have to modify the build prop on the cm rom you flash cause it comes with it already setup. What are you trying to modify?

Sorry, just as an example, I can use Hulu Plus with the stock rom, but when I use CM10 its not "compatible" and will not play.

Thats because root is detected. No build.prop edits will fix that.

Not the issue because I am currently rooted with stock rom and I can still watch hulu plus.

I'm not able to do that from my phone. I can only unzip a zip file. Can you upload the build.prop as is?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Delete the .txt extension and you are good to go.
Can't upload it with the .prop extension says invalid file.
Also uploaded it here without Txt extension.
