Should we change the value of "ro.product.model" to "Archos 80 G9" model ?
because It have same resolution 1027x768 with touchpad !
but what is the value name of "Archos 80 G9" ?

Cheers reverend, worked like magic!

No, resolution doesn't matter
All the build.prop change does is trick the market and apps into thinking your phone is a nexus s
The app will automatically adjust based on resolution, on its own.
Correct me if I'm wrong

I'm just posting here so I can easily find this thread when I get home. I wish gameloft weren't such dicks with their app compatibility.

I'm starting to suspect that Xron builds do not have full root permissions. I will investigate further.

I found that version 1.4.8.9 of es file explorer allows root on xron while the latest market release does not.

I got mine here: freewarelovers.com/android/app/es-file-explorer

The regular market version will give you root too. But I had to remove the built-in one completely with Titanium Backup first before installing the market one.
(I also installed Busybox separately using Busybox Installer but I don't think that factors here).

Can someone post in text what we're supposed to change the build.prop info to? Maybe some people need a 7:17 long video with full directions, but those of us that have been modding android devices for awhile know how to do edit a build.prop. I just want to know what device he's spoofing to get it to work.

so, doing so, no other apps will be affected negatively
with the two changes made in build.prop ?

Netflix App working: MT4G

Install COREDROID gingerbread Sense2.1 Rom (ONLY rom I've been using so far that works on Glacier....I've tried a few that I had Nandroids of)
http://android-maisters.thedevboard.com/t31-portrommt4g_coredroid_desire_s_233_v01released
Visit the Android market, find Netflix, then send it to your phone, installs over any leaked versions you may have had...viola, works perfectly
seems we've confirmed that if you're running Coredroid ROM above, you will be able to install Netflix and view everything perfectly from several users who have tried..no prop editing, no white screen, no problems with no video, etc
Not to mention, it's one of the best ROM's for the Glacier (minus the annoying video recording not working bug)

ro.product.name = ?

It might work for CM7.0.3
But I don't have fast enough speeds right now to check.
I'll try over wifi when I get home.
When I loaded it it loads my account, I can search, but movies would cut out while streaming. It could just be my bad data speeds right now.

Hey guys im at work and just noticed that need for speed is part of the $0.10 apps today in the market, anyone know if it will work on the tp, there are three version?
If not would a build.prop change to let's say nexus s allow it to work?

Thanks for the heads up ... I was trying to figure it out and came across this thread.

The build.prop fix didn't work for NFS Shift, however I have been able to get it to work using my Android phone as a workaround.
Required: TitaniumBackup on both TP and a rooted Android phone.
I was able to install on the TP from the market using the alpha3 build.prop. however, each time I launched NFS It would fail to download game data (NaN error). My HTC Desire HD wasn't showing as compatible with NFS, so I took a titanium backup copy of nfs on the TP and transferred the files to my phone via PC (the files you need are in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup and will have a name beginning with com.eamobile.nfsshift_row_wf)
I restored NFS from backup on the phone, and launched it this time the game data downloaded. I played a single race to make sure it was OK. Using my PC again I copied the game data folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.eamobile.nfsshift_row_wf) from my phone to the TP in the same location.
Fired it up and it works really well and is proper full screen once the game launches. The initial splash screen is letterbox'd.
Hope this helps anyone wanting to use NFS Shift on the TP or get around another EA game with the same issue.

you should be able to find out the version by going into manage applications under settings->Applications.
just tap on the app itself and there should be a version number under the name of the app.
i am using 1.1.38 and it works fine with me.

IBM Think app on the Pad...?

Google Market says "not compatible with your device"...does someone knowledgeable know why? It successfully downloaded to my Archos G9/80 and so I copied those files over to the Pad and everything runs of course fine there, including the movie...BUT I don't like that So - does someone know a way to perhaps change some lines in build.prop (my Pad is rooted) in order to get the Market's GO ?
Thx.

Welcome!
Explanation: The Play Store uses your DPI as part of its "compatibility" calculation. The DPI it reads depends on which resolution mode the tab is set to, and sometimes you have to clear memory for it to notice.

Would this be possible? Spoofing a tablet for an app?

So the Battlelog app for android if you are running a tablet lets you use commander mode in the full game (basically play a mini strategy game from anywhere against real pc players) and command from wherever you go.
Would I be able to spoof my nexus 4 into a tablet just to do this without having to buy one?
I am currently running Paranoid Android so this should be possible but I am unable to increase the size of the battlelog app from Hybrid settings.
So when the game comes out in 10 days this should be possible right?
I would love to take Battlefield 4 with me anywhere and command on the go.
If there is a separate tablet apk let me know.

I have that exact question, I'm going to try and use xposed and the app setting from xposed to see if I can force a tablet mode on it, if it works I'll let u know, I'm running on a galaxy s4
Update: the app battle log is not the app that runs commander mode, they r launching a separate app for it, I've tried to find it and no luck though
