[Q] Can version number be spoofed?

I was wondering if you can pre root an update and trick the kindle into thinking it was updating to a higher version.. if you could trick the version then u could even downgrade
###SO DOES ANYONE THINK THEY CAN DO IT?###

This is development!

No. Its a question about development. If everyone posted things wanted to know or learn about development in "development" this place would be flooded. Others have told you you posted in the wrong place and you argue why its not. Others have told you its against the rules to offer paid apps for free and you argue why its not. What is your purpose?

Compare build.props from latest to previous you will see the changes. I'm not sure how deep Amazon goes into identifying your device but build.prop is the place to start

I don't know if it's true for the Kindle, but at least for Verizon and the Droid series of phones, properly updating the ID in the build.prop will trick the OTA server into thinking the device has been updated already, when it hasn't. It's another way to block OTAs.

I'm trying to use it to downgrade

not possible, stock recovery wont flash any altered zip. or in your case, a prerooted zip. or even a older official zip. modifying the system files requires root, and if u have root you don't need to downgrade/spoof anything.
so in the end, unnecessary.

Not sure how the previous answer was judgmental. You come to an Android development forum and ask us how to rip Google off a credit which is intended for customers who purchased this product.
We pay for our apps and support Android development 'round these parts. It's people like you that will make Google think twice about running this promotion in the future.

You guys have lost me. I am not a girl but I do have 2 daughters. And besides what does this reference of "why is your name not green" have to do with me making a thread about a eBay seller selling refurbsihed xperia plays? I don't get the connection and don't know if you guys are just trying to be immature on my expense, meaning are you two attempting to make a joke of me? If so then I do not appreciate it, I merely saw the deal and thought I would share so those who may be interested could look into it. If I am wrong and this is not an attempt to make fun of me then clarify the reference in regards to my name not being in green.

Hmmm, I think the first poster was asking why you haven't been awarded a "Recognized Contributor", title (their usernames appears green in a PC browser... Like TLRtheory). Because you're always telling the community about good deals and new news.
Not sure about the second poster, maybe trying to be funny?

lol second one is just trolling, look at his avatar xD

I looked up TLRtheory on the xda site from my laptop and I do see his name is in green. So perhaps thatbis what they meant. I have not been contacted and offered to have myself listed as a recognized member. I always thought that was for devs who make roms and whatnot. I have next to zero programming. But I do strive to share anything I feel is noteworthy or for those why may be interested in it. I don't do this in hopes of any reward. I do it simply because I feel as I have no way to make a rom or whatever that its my only means of giving back to this community. Because truthfully this community is awesome. I have learned a ton here and have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for all the mods, devs, and basically everyone being a good sport and working together to help one another. I'm just a regular Joe doing what I feel I can do to give back by any means. And sharing any games, apps, news, and deals is what I do. So anyways sorry for that long chatterbox but just want people to understand why I share things like this.

Sorry I wasnt upset by it just didnt understand the reference, and sometimes it can be difficult to understand when someone is making a joke when your reading it an not hearing or seeing their expression. I have had times when people have been mocking me on here, not lately, when I thought they were kidding only to find otherwise. So if I over gunned it a little I apologise but I just didnt understand what the reference was to. Now I do. So if I bothered anyone for my previous posts then I apologise.
Now..... dont know if the ebay seller is still selling these refurbed XP but has anyone purchased one from the link above?

Atrix 4g thanks and donation

Hey guys, long time reader although never really posted much. Over the next few days I'll be getting my new phone in the mail and begin setting that up. I wondered what to do with this phone that has been made great thanks to the devs here. So I'd like to donate it to one of those devs who has put in a lot of hard work for the good of this community. I remember reading a while back that some of them only have photons and just change some code around. I figured it might help everyone out by donating to one of those guys. It's the least I can do considering I've been using ICS and JB since they came out thanks to everyone here, not Motorola lol. If anyone could suggest a dev or if one of you see this yourself just send me a pm. It might be a week or two but the phone is in great shape still! Thanks guys again for all the great work. Oh last thing, I'd prefer that you be in the US if possible just so the shipping isn't outrageous. Thanks!

I would recommend Th3Bill. He makes a bunch of ROMs for this community and doesn't even own an Atrix.

OK, I knew when I wrote that it was either him or joker that didn't have an Atrix. Thanks, I'll send him a pm.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

I was planning on doing the same thing with my Atrix once I get a Nexus 4. I actually live in the same city as Th3Bill.

Don't forget mmontuori. I was actually thinking of donating my second atrix to him since I'm in a skyrocket, but I believe he's outside the us? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Us people who want to donate should definitely get together so we make sure all the awesome developers have an atrix to work with!

Joker doesn't have one either.

Don't forget epinter. He already has an Atrix but I'm sure he could do a lot more of his "magic" with a second one, specially if this one has a different tegrapart.
The only problem: epinter is from Brazil, but I'm not sure where he lives.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

Let's also not forget mmontuori, he also has one already but now he's working on a new experimental ROM which he said is becoming increasingly more difficult since he needs his phone for normal everyday stuff too...
But anyway, I agree Th3Bill is probably the best candidate. Joker would be a good one too if he was still active, and to my knowledge all other devs have at least one already. Hmmm... maybe faux123 too? Dunno if he has one or is he even still interested in working for the Atrix...

May vote goes to mmontuori. He kindly ask for second Atrix

I'm giving my vote to Th3bill guys, he has like 5 ROMS for the Atrix, and he doesnt even have one! Major well done to him!

I know that Th3bill is good guy but with mvniekerk we may have a new kernel. Without new kernel, no one could make stable ICS/JB with hwa.

Everyone, try to think about who is the most deserving and what makes the most sense. Not what serves your own interests.
Shipping a used device to South Africa for mvniekirk doesn't make much sense. Shipping would probably cost more than the device is worth. You don't pay shipping on PayPal donations, so support him that way.
Joker is AWOL and has been for months. He is certainly worthy of the donation, but might not even use it.
So it really comes down to Th3Bill or mmontuori (since he requested one and is certainly worthy).
Either way, thanks peej8991 for being so generous.

Let's not be rude to someone trying to help. No one but yourself knows exactly what you want, we are not mind readers here, we work together as a team - respecting everyone in the XDA Community. If someone posts a response and it does not fit your needs, then kindly say "Thank you but that is not what I wanted, I am looking for the ad free version". Your request, as I understood it was:
"Can anyone give me a copy of the scrabble game? I want to try it on the droid DNA."
Am I correct? When I saw this post I had the same response in mind, just Google it. Then I saw jasmineloveflower respond and say "yes i understand his request the kindle fire version has no ad.........." - Rather than play mind reader here, why don't you take a moment and clarify your request - the you are likely to receive the answer you desire.

Have you tried to search the Android Market? I found a Free version of EA Scrabble on their this morning I downloaded it and it works great on my rooted Kindle Fire. It's the only version that I found on there and from the reviews that I read I think that it supersedes any previous versions that may have been out there.
