Just discovered the market won't let me download my gameloft games. Googled it and it seems I need to change my build. Prop. I really suck with terminal commands, anyone got a cwm flashable idiot proof fix?

Looking for a fix as well. Surprised a definitive answer hasn't been posted yet unless I missed it. One Guy posted his build.prop but I don't know exactly what to change
Well I imagine someone eventually well help us out. I'm going to keep googling in the meantime. I found someone who had the issue on the vibrant and someone had a new build.prop to give him and it worked, but he didn't say how to install the build.prop. Just said "Swap this one out with your old one"...and? How exactly do I go about doing that?
It can be done with root explorer

No terminal commands needed.
Get a root file explorer
Navigate to /system
There you will find the build.prop
Open that with any text editor, or copy it to your sdcard and use NotePad on your pc. It's just a plain text file.
Once all edited. Save and reboot.
Make sure your system is mounted r/w or it won't let you change anything in that partition.
Cool, so I have another stupid question : what do you change the build.prop too?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Kind of depends on what ROM you are running and what in the build prop is incorrect. Sometimes when running i9000 roms your build will be written to reflect your phone as no longer being an I897. It happened to me many moons ago. Luckily the rom thread had an updated build prop posted. Search for the Market Fix apk in the market. That allows you to change your signature that the market views your phone by. You may also try Market Enabler there's a few different versions to choose from, just a temporary ID changer.

Ok but what do I change EXACTLY to have it recognized by the market as a Samsung Captivate? And why don't these cyanogenmod developers fix this? It's a common issue why ignore it? Arghhhhhhh I'm getting irritated. A guy on the cyanogenmod forums said to use root explorer and change manufacturer to samsung and model to nexus s. I did that and only freaking difference is my XDA app says I'm using a nexus s. The market is still the freaking same and i even freaking cleared the cache and rebooted. Yeah I'm irritated. Just bought Modern Combat 2 and can't play it because of this stupid problem!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Finally figured it out, the stuff I was told to change has nothing to do with market access, changed 4 other entries to "GT-I9000" and that fixed the problem. Wasn't mad at anyone just frustrated

To get everything to recognize it as a Captivate you need to chang eANYTHING that says Gt-i9000 to SGH-i897 and anything that says galaxysmtd or something like that to captivatemtd or whatever stock shows it as( I cannot remember what stock shows at this moment). But if you make these changes then xda app and the market and anything else will recognize it as a Captivate

I seem to be having some issues getting my protected apps to work, the saved build.prop I used to use no longer does the job, and I'm having some odd issues using another one. I am running JM8+voodoo beta 3+autokiller (aggressive) and when I use a different build.prop the autokiller just doesnt seem to want to kill empty apps. Any help with how to fix this is appreciated, if anyone knows of a guranteed way to get the apps back editing my own build.prop I would appreciate it, also I have tried the eris market fix which didn't work, thanks.

Daft but what I found worked was to run the free Eris Market Fix then reboot the phone and then run the donate version of Eris Market fix and and as if by magic the paid apps are back. Didnt work either on their own or in a different order only that way for some reason....???

I guess I can refund it if it doesn't...

Okay, maybe you can do us all a favor the next time you have to go through this process:
Make a copy of build.prop before you do anything.
Run Eris Market Fix free version, then make a copy of build.prop again.
Run Eris Market Fix donate version, then make a final copy of build.prop.
Then we can compare the files and see what changes between the two different runs of Eris.
It really was black magic for me to get the Market to show "protected" apps on JM8. None of the usual methods worked, despite trying them all. It took a couple of days for it to get right, and sadly, I don't even remember now what finally worked.
I tried to hack the build.prop... No go.
I Ran Eris Market Fix (free)... Worked right away.
I changed build.prop back to my hacked build.prop... Still worked.
Go figure.
Anyone know if eris market fix will work on 2.2 roms?
Edit: Yes it does!
I was looking around few app websites and came across PandoaTV
so I went to my market was not able to find it.
So I told my friend about it and he was able to download it but he has HTC from tmo.
I am using right now the newest phoniex rom...... and thought I did all the things to unlock the market but I guess not.
Can someone else with a cap see if they can find it in the market place?
And if so what you did to get to be able to DL it?
From what my friend got it seems like a pretty good quality app for streaming tv.
Just a thought that I would share "about" this app while trying to found out how to fix it haha ^^
Thank you~!

its not the "ROM" but it is the CSC file included in the rom that is the issue for you. the phoenix rom is made in UK. either flash a US csc file OR use the app `Market Enabler`it allows you to temporarily change your CSC for the market, until reboot.
my market is funky
sometimes it works
sometimes it doesnt
I cant dl anything sometimes or update
sometimes I can... =/
its not the phone because I changed it twice...
Is there any way to get gingerbread on my verizon g tab? There are very few roms and im getting the itch to flash.

I had the same issues. I changed permissions, and tried both of the .so files in that thread. One of them boot-looped the tab and the other gave me problems with market (kept telling me that google talk wasn't enabled and wouldn't let me download in market). Neither of them worked for me on the rotation. If anyone figures this out, it would be great to know how!
I used to have this app, but now when I go to the market, the app is there, but the download link isn't. I noticed this with a few other Apps to... Anyone know why this happens? with the other app, I found the latest apk file and installed from there and this fixed the market link.
If it helps, i'm on pinnacle 1.2.
In the meantime, Anyone have the apk for the new mango?

Hope you get it figured out.

Thanks for checking your market. I'm wondering if it may be because i'm in Canada and maybe there are some restrictions because of that.
Just to clarify my first post, I do find these apps in the market, but most of them do not have download buttons. If I find the corresponding apk and install from there though, then next time I look in the market, the update /uninstall buttons are there.
Once again, thanks for your help. I'll try another rom and see if it's different
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I found the problem! I had changed my screen dpi, which seems to have caused some of the download buttons to disappear on the market. Just restated with native resolution and that solved the problem.
I hope that this can help people on the future.
And thanks to the dude that checked their market fir me. I'll thank you when I get to a computer

*This is not my idea, I'm just sharing it. Head on over to the original thread where I saw this for some more information/support!
Some of you guys may have already seen this one but here it is for those who haven't.
Basically this is the .apk for Samsung's S-Voice taken form the leaked rom of the up-and-coming Galaxy SIII. S-Voice is supposed to be samsung's answer to Siri - but some people have reported that in reality it is just a skinned Vlingo with a couple of extra features!.
To install it:
move it to /system/app (Either by using Root explorer/ES file explorer or adb push voicetalk /system/app)
Change permissions to rw r-- r-- using Root explorer/ES file explorer
Go to build.prop and chnage ro.product.model & ro.product.device to GT-19300
Reboot
Go to /system/app and click on the voicetalk.apk and install like a normal sideload app
Note:
This is for ICS only and I have only tested it on Lord Clockans Ice Cold Sandwich 7.5 Test 9.
You need a data connection for it to work

S-Voice download link here

Good for you！Thanks for sharing.
only ICS?
im trying now on GB. i hope it will work...
EDIT:
i get error "There is a problem parsing the package." when opening the APK. happen also with other downloads.
because of GB or another problem?

Seemingly it'll only work on ICS. Hence the parse error.
EDIT: Trying it on SenseMOD FlashONE v1.3.1. Although it has installed and went through the tutorial, it now just FC's as soon as i try to open it. I'll see if it's any better after a reboot.
EDIT2: No luck. Still FC's immediately after starting.
It's a problem with the lcd density I think because it doesn't work at 240 it works better at 190 but still had force closes it works flawlessly at 160 though and I would love to keep it there if it weren't for the phone APK bug on ice cold
So piece of advice lower your lcd density but this may be problematic on sense roms of course

Here's me running it at 160dpi. The application still has a lot of room of improvement its not anywhere near as good as siri - I haven't tried siri myself! - and it really struggled to pick up my thick Scottish accent. I this could be a problem of the DHD because my brothers evo 3d and my galaxy tab do a much better job at understanding me
First a tried asking it the weather for London and after only 2 tries it got it right!
Then I tried setting an alarm up for 6am it could only get pm instead and after many tries I thought I'd just stick with pm and see what happens, you as you can see it understands what I meant but obviously I wasn't surprised when it couldn't figure out how to actually put an alarm on
Anyway I won't run the whole surprise for you and I'll let you check it out yourself!

--EDIT--
Another quick look through the instructions shows that you need to chnage your build.prop to appear as thou you have a GSIII. Although this is easy enough some newer users may find it quite confusing. I thought its probably best just to link to the original thread because there will be a better support over there.
