9MM on Nook! - Nook Color Themes and Apps

finally got 9MM to run with success!
build.prop edit to read as Nexus S 4G, run with qualcomm/chainfire...
runs fairly smooth, only killed the first 3 guys ^^ Enjoy!

what version are you running? I've got a thread where try to keep track of how to make gameloft games work on the NC.

version 1.0.0

Can you post your exact build.prop setting entries? Thanks!

I got working changing this on build.prop just to download the game data
ro .product.model=NookColor
ro.product.brand=bn
To:
ro .product.model=SPH-P100

So does this build.prop edit effect anything else?

From my experience it does not do anything bad, it just make more apps compatible, for example gamelofts apps. I have several games installed like that, right now my nook has the original build.prop that comes with the latest nightlies and the games still work. So you just need to edit it for the first run.

[Q] Market Compatibility - What's The Problem

What exactly is it that is blocking certain apps on the market? I understand the general reason: That the market doesn't believe the NC is the compatible device. What I'm asking is, what developmentally needs to be changed (build.prop maybe?) to allow more market options. It's a pain to manually update all the sideloaded apps the market won't recognize, and the AppBrain method only works for those who were smart enough not to upgrade to the new market, since it disables the "Fast Web Installer". I'd love to look into this. I know changing build.prop directly to identify as a different device is supposed to mess up the drivers somehow; what else could be done?
Edited to add: Why is it that market enabler doesn't work on the Nook Color?
The market is based on your location. Developers can limit who can see their apps to download based on region. The market will only show apps working with your android version. If you are on android 2.1, it will not show android 2.2+ apps. In addition, older android market only show like 10 apps in portrait mode.
sorta off topic but has anyone tried these

The Market looks at multiple things on your device. It ranges anywhere from the version of Android SDK you are using to the device's location and the device type.
I've found the best method to solving this problem is to use adb to pull a copy of your build.prop file and edit it.

Thank you for this. I can not wait to get home and try it. I recently switched to the 950 Mhz Kernel posted by Geniusdog254 (running very nicely btw) and Angry Birds quit showing up in the market.
I was curious as to what else I was missing. I would love to buy and install Dungeon Hunter 2, but the only .apk's I can find online are cracked ones and it's not in the market at all for me. Hopefully this helps.

Dungeon Hunter 2 is only for the iPhone right now.
When it is available, you won't find it in the market. Gotta go directly through Gameloft.
As it stands right now, there is no way to legitimately purchase a Gameloft game for your nook. It doesn't view the nook as a compatible device. You can't buy it for your phone, and transfer the apk. That shows as an invalid copy.
Take a look through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919287
Lots of Gameloft talk.
Thanks for the heads up. I have DH 2 on iPhone but would be fine with the original on NC. I would love to be able to buy it instead of trying to bypass all that.

Yeah, I'm totally with ya.
There are even a couple of games I would be willing to purchase a second time, if they would let me.

Gameloft Games working version #s (now with Market Versions!!!)

No more scouring the darkened alleys of the internet looking for that one version of A6HD_Galaxy_r4z0r_v1.9.4.2.5.apk that will install and load without crashing back to earth once it figures out that your android tablet is just an ereader in disguise. With IMEI patch, build.prop set to galaxy tab, LCD density to 160 and you can download your games from market like a regular joe. Also they seem to all download data, run without CF3D and are more or less guaranteed not to contain malware/keyloggers or cause your ISP to send you a cease and desist letter.
If you can't get the market route to work, make sure to pay for the apps through HERE(Only $1-2). Support your developers!
Gameloft apps that are working from market: Get an IMEI/patch your build.prop with the app HERE! Use THESE settings.
With IMEI/build.prop and retail apks: (galaxy tab versions)

Turning off "Compatibility Mode" in Spare Parts may be required if the programs are not running full screen. You may have to switch it on/off a couple times before it sticks (flipping it once didn't work for me, I had to turn if off/on/off before it finally stayed off).
This thread is a spin off of a previous thread HERE. Additional information may be found there (though I tried to import all the important information into this thread).
Please don't post .apks here!!!
Thanks to all the people who have helped find working versions...

I can confirm that Backstab works on the NC CM7. Here's my specs and what I had to do:
Version: Backstab HD 1.2.2
I'm running the latest Nightly build of CM7 (cm_encore_full-152.zip)
Overclocked to 1200 Mhz
I have it installed to the internal Memory.
To get this game to run, you have to edit your build.prop file with an editor. If you're not familiar with editing this file, just google around a bit. Here are the settings that I'm using:
ro.product.model=SPH-P100
ro.product.brand=bn
ro.product.name=encore
ro.product.device=encore
ro.product.board=encore
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
After you edit your file, reboot. Run the game and it will download the latest files. After that it ran great for me. Didn't have to edit anything else. Great smooth performance.

I got Rainbow Six HD v.1.0.1 running pretty smoothly here.
I'm on nightly #154 currently, but it worked also on previous ones.
Hello,
I tried Shadow Gaurdian using your directions, and on rooted stock, I get the cannot connect when downloading and on cm7 sd install, I got it to download data, but it crashes after the loading screen. I bought the galaxy tab version, what version are you running? I am pretty sure I have a patched imei on both installs. Certain on cm7 because SBM works.
Thank you for this list. I know they are not the best, but the games are nice. I got Dungeon Hunter1 when it was free way back when, and love it.

Added info on the build.prop editing required (in addition to IMEI patch). Sorry for the confusion. If it still doesn't work you may want to try a hacked .apk, we've seemed to have better luck with those in general.

Galahad and Rastaviper, which version did you use? After trying all steps on both cm7 and rooted stock, it works but cannot get past the cutscenes which freeze the whole nook and I must reboot. This happened with chainfire set to nvidia, qualcom, and powerver.
Thanks again for this thread.
The purchased apk would not get past the gameloft logo. I tried the galaxy s version but got a parcing error.

Since the only changes are ro.product.manufacturer and ro.product.model... you can use the newer IMEI Generator to make the edits for you while patching your framework with your IMEI at the same time.... just read the directions to know you have to edit the ini file for any build.prop edits to occur... but once set... your golden.
If anything else crops up that we need the ability to add... I'll gladly entertain the ability to have the Generator edit them for us.

Didn't realize the IMEI generator now did build.prop as well. Thanks for the info as well as the work, the OP has been edited to include that information.

Rezound on Gameloft?

Help! I want to take advantage of the Gameloft sale, but I can't seem to find the right device for the Rezound to download it?! Help! The Rezound is not in the device list, at least for the games I want, like Nova 2 and Modern Combat 2... Any suggestions?

most likely they have not updated their games to the 1280x720 resolution, might take some time
seems like most phones will have a 720+ resolution now so its really only a matter of time

Yes, and I also found a method of installing it on my phone by changing the build.prop temporarily. I know you already got a version of build.prop to work too, but for those who haven't yet...
Just backup the stock build.prop somewhere and modify the copy to show the following:
ro.product.model=Desire HD
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
ro.product.name=htc_ace
ro.product.device=tenderloin
ro.product.board=ace
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Don't miss the duplicate first line further up until the build.prop and Clear data from Google Services Framework and Market before reboot. You should now be able to install games that were previously "incompatible".
This method tricks Market into thinking you have a Desire HD. The only side effect I noticed, until I restored the original build.prop, was the blues on my camera showing as red.

there is rezound support
Gameloft.com it is under HTC Vigor
Ok so I edited the build prop as shown, download and installed "BIA2", even was able to download the extra content, but the game wont open. Anybody have any ideas why. Could it be i'm on a custom rom.

Reposted!Build prop for games.

I am getting alot of PM,s on build prop. Here is my original posting on getting gameloft games to work. Hope this helps.
yes, mc3 works but you must change the build prop but only if you have rooted the Sony. Model=A500 Brand=acer Name=picasso_generic1 device=picasso
Save then reboot
Games working; 9mm Modern combat 3 tintin Gt racing And a few more David.

If you change for other model, is possible to play all games /apps?
Good question. I was going to try samsung tab but since my build prop worked I decided to leave it.
All games are working with this build? And PSN store?
How can i edit? I tried with build.prop - open with text editor and save ,and nothing changed
there's a program called root toolbox or rom toolbox.. something like that. It's good a pretty intuitive built in build.prop editor
I can confirm that ps store works with this build prop. Make sure that you have rooted because if not then you will be unable to save the build prop
Ok thanks. One more question, with the build changed, the market should assume i have an acer a500 but not, market continue to assume that i have a sony s tablet.
For example NOVA 2 and other android games don't appear
Very odd. Ive just checked and nova 2 shows up. Double check your build prob to make sure it has saved correctly.
Here N.O.V.A. 2 don't appear, build is ok
Do you think is because i'm from Portugal? And portuguese market don't have?
I only have a few gameloft games, uno, asphault, real football, brother in arms
Possibly. Maybe it is some sort of region thing. Strange that we are in the same region though, unless it is different. Sorry cant advice any further on that. I will dig around and try find out
I tried some programs to change market region and nova stil don't appear, so i think it should be a compatible problem, market is assuming i have a sony s tablet, but my proper build is changed because i can play games like tintin gameloft etc...

Asphalt 7: Heat OR 6 Work On Live With walkman?

I need to know can i play "Asphalt 7: Heat and Asphalt 6: Adrenaline" on Live With Walkman WT19? I know if i go to the Asphalt 7: Heat and Asphalt 6: Adrenaline play store app pages using play store app, it display i can install and it compatible with LWW. But according to my previous experiences I can't trust "Gameloft" games. Three months ago I purchased "Modern Combat 3", and another "Gameloft's game" but when i try to run the game, it display this device not compatible with this game, please refund the money.
So anyone else purchased and run Asphalt 7: Heat or "Asphalt 6: Adrenaline" and successfully pay on LWW?
Thanks!
build.prop edit
All of those games works fine Wt19i but idk why gameloft games say this.
To make the games work you must root your phone and edit the build.prop
1.Open root explorer and navigate to /system/build.prop
2.Then find thease 2 lines:
ro.product.brand=SEMC
and
ro.product.model=wt19i
3. Edit them like so:
ro.product.brand=Samsung
And
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
After doing this restart the try to run the games.:good:
