Changing Device model for market - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

So I heard that you could change your device's "model" by messing around with the build prop.
I was wondering if I could change the model to a tegra 2 supported phone so I could download tegra zone from the market directly. Instead trying to pirate it and such

The particular lines I'm guessing is ro.product.model and ro.product.name

Edit build.prop to a tegra device?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

Yes I heard you could set the ro.pruduct.name to Nexus S and to.product.model to Samsung to make more apps available on the market. I was wondering you could the same thing except change it into a tegra 2 device for tegra zone and Android market to see your device as a supported one

I would say you should try it.
Take a look at a tegra device build.prop.. Simply google for a build prop and change the lines to a tegra device.
You don't need to change the build.prop for playing a game if u use chainfire but if you need to download a game. You probably need to change

Yeah one could think .. However it didnt work for me . i tried the following build.props
Atrix 4G
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Samsung Galaxy S2
All still gave me the "Your device is incompatible with this item" error when trying to download the game . I was thinking of making the market run under the NVIDIA plugin but i couldnt find the app in the list of apps on chainfire 3D

I have mine set to 160 which from what ive read is a default for the market along with 240

You should check the density of the phone your using the build prop mods for just to be sure.

The selection of "tegra" based games is so blah... I've gone through "other" sources as well to find games for this thing. Most end up in corner of the screen; a little rectangle in the middle of the screen; or totally uncontrollable.
Tegra tabs are seeing very little love. My Gtab LTE has been sitting in the corner the last four days. Really starting to regret that purchase...
Just be aware that games on these things is still kind of just a novelty, not really the prime motivation for purchasing. I like playing games on the Tab, but if I was serious about actually wanting good games I'd boot up my Windows PC or get a console.
i agree with you on the other option for a console or pc i guess is just to early to look for good games for that tab

Maybe you shouldn't expect much from pirated games? Gameloft doesn't offer Fast Five for the Galaxy Tab which is why you're having problems.

not really sure what ur trying to say , but if thats what a paid app told u from playstore after u tried using it its 100% normal , just means ur phone so new that dev has not made it compatible with the phone yet so it dont work , u could always try hacking your build prop and make it think its a different device.....
if thats not what ur talking about then sorry just ignore me ;p

Hello!
My name is Gabriel and I am happy to assist you.
Thank you for your interest in Gameloft games. Unfortunately, this game is not available on your type of phone. Our development team work on bringing new games on all types of phones. Hopefully, this game will be released on your phone too.
Fixed it! edit build.prop file in /system folder using rom toolbox change model from:Samsung-sghi747 to: GT-I9100 and save!
then reboot...viola!

There is a rumor going around that this may be related:

But some people are thinking its unrelated, that HTC is announcing a phone and not a tablet.
Now this Forums needs to be renamed. Ubuntu for Mobile Devices.

Especially with the dock! It will be a laptop on its own!
If its supposed to be a converged OS, I don't know that it necessarily makes sense to have subcategories for phone and tablet. The forum should probably just be called Ubuntu, with subcategories Ubuntu OS and Ubuntu for Android. It might even make sense to separate it by OS version numbers, since 13.04 is supposed to be the converged touch friendly version of the OS. I guess though it really depends on what the moderators think people will be talking about. App developement, porting, configuring, customizing, driver hacking, etc.
The tablet interface looks like its going to be good, I wonder if it will be available for older Tablet PCs (x86).
