Hi my friends!
i have something for you today and its nothing less then Brothers in Arms 2 for free! Some of you alrdy know it for sure!
http://dailymobile.se/2011/12/11/free-android-game-brothers-in-arms-2-global-front/
My problem here is that i cant install it cause of incompatibilty!
If i follow this link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftB2HM
It says:
"This Article isnt compatible with your device"
If i search the game in Market over my Mobile i cant even find it!
So i'm asking myself how to update the Market file which allows me to download this game over my mobile? Maybe tell them i have a HTC Sensation instead of a HD2 Leo. Is that possible?
Thanks for any help here
Install File Expert (file explorer).
Browse to /sdcard/Android/
Click to edit "startup.txt" & chose an editor (I use TED text editor)
Edit the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file
Browse to Internal storage /system/
Long click on "build.prop" and change permissions to get full access to the file.
Long click on "build.prop" and Open as.. text (Using TED text editor)
Scroll all the way down till you find & edit the ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file.
Exit File Expert
Open Application Manager and go to Market
Select "Details/Clear cache/Force stop"
Click "Force stop" & "OK"
Click "Clear data" & "OK"
Exit App Manager
Open the Rom Manager app.
Touch "Fix Permissions"
Re-boot
Hopefully this works! If not, try changing density to 240 (instead of 160) as many advise this is better. However a 240 density, makes display larger, while 160 is very much similar to what you now have.
(based on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1344334)
Thanks for the info, but that didnt help.
I tried that 2mins ago. I have wrote the other thread you have mentioned that.
The problem isnt like with Adobe Flash Player. I couldnt install it either, but at least i was able to find it in androind market. Changing LDC Density helped here.
But i cant even find the game Brother in Arms 2 in market. So i think it has simple compatibility problems. I think i need to know how to change my mobile ID from HD2 to something different like HTC Sensation or similar.
Do you know what i mean?
I just checked and I have the same problem.
If you want to change the name from HD2 to something purely Android, you just need to edit build.prop and change the lines that contain "HTC HD2" or "HTC Leo" or "Leo" to something like "Sensation"
hopefully this helps!
Solved! Download Brothers in Arms 2 for free
ok i will try it and give feedback asap
thanks
Edit:
Ok that worked Did it by changing following values in /System/build.prop:
ro.product.model=HTC Pyramid
ro.product.name=htc_pyramid
ro.product.device=pyramid
ro.product.board=pyramid
ro.build.product=pyramid
You can leave the density (in my case 190) and the android version (in my case - ro.build.version.release=2.3.7) untouched
Downloading now. Thanks for your help!
I will try to find something more helpfull, like a step-guide or tutorial...

Nah, it worked. Everything is fine now Thank you!
Edit: Starting it right now, Gameloft logo comes and asking me to download 258MB additional files
Happy that I could help..
As for the game, I thought that 2.5 MB listed on the Market wouldn't be enough..
Enjoy mate!
Never i thought the same haha.
Thanks, you too I#m in the Mainmenu now and about to start the game

I only have the phone a week.
Is this the best way?
1. Download the file.
2. Plug your phone into your computer
3. Drop the file into the root directory of your micro sd.
4. Plug out cable from phone..
5. Open Astro, find the apk and install it from there.
6. Close astro.
7. Go to settings - language and keyboard.
8. Check the swype button.
9. Open a new text message and hold your finger in the text entry box.
10. Select input method and select swype.

-------------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire
Been trying to access some info from the "My Account" app and says my phone model is not supported. I think its due to the change in model number in the about phone section. Anyway to change it back to what it was before?
Btw im running CM 5.0.8
Edit: Reason for editing: On the "Model Number" part, its says HTC Dream, I wanted to change the text string back to what it use to be so I fully use the my account app.
old post, but I would like to know where/what I need to do to change the model also. I can't update via my sammy i9000 via Kies, because it's reading as a GT-I9000 after installing a Euro 2.2 ROM, when it's infact a GT-I9000T.. which Kies now has a New Zealand 2.2 update for. The issue is the 3G support of the Euro ROM and the fact it makes my screen on first power up do the rainbow snow deal. I'm hoping the NZ ROM for the actual 9000T will fix this... but I need to change the device model # to test.
The Kies registry patch trick didn't work for me at all. I would run the app, it would appear to change the registry keys, but Kies would either add another set of 3 keys (4, 5, 6) or just change the 1, 2, 3 modified reg keys to what the phone is reporting instead of keeping the modified info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You could rename it to .txt, edit, change to .prop.
Or you could adb pull, edit, push ect.
never mind. I have SGS Tools app that lets me edit /system/build.prop without renaming it. SGS Tools is available on the Market for free.
for those who don't know what SGS Tools is, you're missing a lot! Try it.

Sorry for that, I'll have a look tomorrow and see what's wrong

(Strict parents - spent so long on computer they nagged me to turn it off, I'm 16 and they still boss me around lol)
I'll make sure all menus work (including click me) and most of scripts work properly
//edit
The only reason I know of for it not working is because you have a space in your username for Windows. Fix will be up today

The reason I didn't post it in yours because its too buggy to display in your thread, I wanted to keep a high standard in your thread. Once its finished I'll post it in yours

the click-me still not working for me on windows 7 x64
To get the patch work in windows 7 all you need to do
is place the "ThemePro" folder on you desktop!!
mine wasn't working either until i did that
nope still not working
then also try to enter the
"properties" of both the '.bat' files in the directory and play with the "compatibility" options.
hmmm, I don't see why it doesn't work, I'll do some research about x64 because it works fine x32
Can you post up the path to your desktop please (if you don't want to show username, replace with ** but if there's a space in your username include it clearly)
Found a better way of calling the other files, it will work with everyone
(sorry for issues VeeDubZ)
You will be able to run Theme-Pro from anywhere you want, no need to place on Desktop
The Work Directory will still be placed to Desktop by default, I'm adding an option to let you specify the directory you wish to put it
(e.g Where would you like to place your Work Directory?: C:\Users\shoey-n\My Documents)
The update will be up today, and I hope to merge most of Theme-Pro 3.0 features by tomorrow
Hi shoey-n,
Why do you use this command line in CLICK-ME.bat :
call "%homedrive%%homepath%\Desktop\ThemePro\menu.bat"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
instead of this one :
call "menu.bat"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
?
I had the same issue than VeeDubZ with the original click-me.bat and by using this command line, it solved it.
Cheers
Thanks for the suggestion, I just noticed that when I was testing out my new way of doing it. That way will be much easier. I'm updating it with that now
New version should be up tonight
//edit
Sorry guys, I've updated the script but haven't had time to upload ( internet is really slow, so it'll take about 15 minutes )
So I'll do a major update for the release tomorrow, just for you lot
thanks for the fix, no worries about the problems with it, i started using the linux version for now, your version will just save me rebooting to use that one.
my path is the standard path that a user would use without any spaces C:\Users\vaughn\
Thanks for the progress update, looking forward to the release.

Alpha 3 is out, few changes and enhancements to this version
Been tested outside of ThemePro but not inside. Hopefully new method works (hopefully uploaded right one )
Added transparent notification drawer mod (uploading for themepro 3.1 Mac/Linux in 5mins, compiling it and adding to scripts right now)
Changelog is up on first post
alpha 3 broke it all for me... none of the options work, Cmd spits out an error about "er" not being a system variable, and not being able to find the directory...
That means I made a typo somewhere, the way I done it means I only have to check 2 files so should be easy to fix, thanks for reporting the bug, fix will be up in the morning

The quickest way would be to load up another clean version changing the original to froyo boot it up & go to astro copy the build from system to SD or to the froyo version & restart then delete new version and paste the build into the original froyo & reboot
so i got my froyostone back to working
have pulled the build.prop from my shubcraft build... and pushed it to the froyostone build!!
hopefully the trick will work without that problem on my hopefully soon arriving android tablet
Next time, try backing up the android folder on ur SD card before changing anything.. that way a quick format and a trip to ur computer will get ur phone working again..

Can you share this file here? i got the same problem that many applications can't work with full screen, and i didn't backup this file...
thx~
Sorry for my Englisch.
Problems with the screen in fullscreen games.It is easy to change it.
Open the file with a text editor Build.Prop and edit the line of "ro.sf.lcd_density = 220" to "ro.sf.lcd_density = 240"
Followed the instructions and did this mod.
I sorta of like it. Didn't encounter any problems at all. It's hard to tell the difference. Some apps will support it, Sense UI does not.
The bigger question is. Does this impact battery life. I am still testing this..so right now that's debatable.
I set dpi to 192 and love it. Most apps show more info on screen, a few games are not clever enough.
After using WinMo for 2 years, I'm used to high precision "touching" :-D
A tip: download Spare Parts and use it to turn off compatibility mode.

Not exactly.
The app works but doesn't really make any difference to build.prop file nor does reboot the device.
Your can manually make the changes.
I set it to 200 and I use adw launcher to make usage of the extra space.
Black screen from changing build.prop
So i really wish I found this thread before i tried to change anything. So i also have the black screen when loading android after changing build.prop file, I did copy the file before I changed it. Now i just dont know how to get into the system folder to change it back because when i load android its all black. Can anybody help me here?
I'm new to the android ecosystem but I've always been jealous of swype users, is it possible to port this feature to the nook touch?
Just replace apk file of swype with default keyboard using Root Explorer in system/app
I tried installing a keyboard apk file into system/app file by copy and paste with ES file explorer but it said failed. is there a special app or procedure I need to do this with? and where did you get the apk file? I would like a keyboard with directional arrows (for spreadsheets) and numbers for faster input. Thanks
Are you sure system is r/w?
Sent from my GT-I5700 using Tapatalk
roryn3kids using ES file explorer use the following instructions and you'll have access to r/w root files:
1. Scroll down to Root Settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Not sure if this next step was needed but I did it anyway
2. Once again from the setting menu click on File Settings and enable "Show Hidden Files"
then copy the file from your data\app folder to your system\app folder
Swype "friendliness" to nook STR
The instructions above worked fine for me.
The problem is that I found the apk somewhere (a rather new version but still not the latest) and, even when it works, I do not get any "word list menu" like the one shown in those Swype Howto videos.
This means that, either I use an extremely short vocabulary, or I waste 50% of the time correcting the suggested word...
For instance, let's say I wanted to write f***, Swype forces me to accept the word duck.
This is good, because then I have the time to think twice before swearing but in the end... hum, let's say it's not that productive.
Of course, I checked that the options are properly configured (or I think so)
Does it happen to any of you, nook STR users?
BTW, I might also say that I cannot install the beta from swype.com/category/get-swype/
Have any of you succeeded on this?
Not that I want to re-activate a Post that was last updated in August, but it's nice to have as much information regarding swype as possible in a single post.
Thanks
I just discovered the Swype feature on my galaxy player 4.0 and it's great!
Never used Swype before this, But Since finding it a few days ago, it's all I've used! lol
Hope you get it installed, cuz its awesome.
Ok, I have further investigated the Issue and I can confirm now that it is properly configured (I compared it with some other devices) so let's ask it the other way around...
Is there any nook-STR-user who properly installed Swype?
How did you do it or, better said, where did you get your swype from?
Thanks very much, and a happy new year!
(sent using my not-that-effective-but-still-funny-to-play-with swype keyboard )
My findings with SWYPE are :
1. when you set your keyboard to SWYPE and do FACTORY reset, you might get problem in the "re_registration" your Nook. For some reason, the factory reset will not erase everything and the device is looking for SWYPE keyboard - which is obviously not there. So you won't have any keyboard to type onto !!! Having not a backup might get you in serious trouble !!!
2. As mentioned over here, the word prediction/suggestion is not visible so really, there is the small nuisance when you have to correct few words. keep an eye on it, when writing.
3. You might find a little bit frustrating the highlighting of a pressed button. Well, OK ... the truth is, that it's TOTALLY ANNOYING !!! Have a look on my video on youtube so you know, what I'm talking about :
youtube.com/watch?v=OYKjvqhxJmU&context=C3503defADOEgsToPDskIus5a7mP57B922B9wWU5cP
But, this can be fixed !!!

Big THANK YOU goes to "djdarkknight96". His solution is to make the "highlighting" transparent, so it doesn't bother you any more. There was an attempt to make the trace line transparent as well, but without success (FC). Please, have a look at his thread for more info.

My findings with this are that the swype keyboard is actually still there, so you need to use adb to delete the apk file and, if you replaced the original, find that one and use adb to add it.
