Play dumb. Tell them your kid brother was messing with it and it don't work. You can even go into "about phone" and tell them it looks different (if you can tell from there).

Hi,
I'm having a few minor problems with the Android Market since rooting. For example, a game I paid for called "My Paper Plane 2" is nolonger available to download even though the trial/demo is available.
I've tried a lot of the fixes on this forum and with no success so far and while looking through the contents of default.prop and build.prop I found something that I wondered if an entry in the default.prop file might be contributing to this problem.
This is the line I am wondering about in default.prop
ro.product.locale.region=US
I did a bit of googling on the phrase "ro.product.locale.region=" and noticed that this line varies....
ro.product.locale.region=IT
ro.product.locale.region=FR
ro.product.locale.region=GB
...as a few examples.
As I'm based in the UK, could this be why the market isn't showing all the apps I would expect. Should I edit the file (I've pulled a copy off the phone but thought I'd ask the question here before pushing it back just to err on the safe side) to GB and reboot? Or has anyone else got any suggestions on what might be causing this?
As a few more examples, I can't also find the demo of Touchdown but I can see the full paid app.
And another game called Armageddon Squadron doesn't appear either.
And a program suggested to search for on this website...
careace.net/2010/06/16/how-to-fix-protected-android-market-app/
"Dr Droid"
...well, I can see the demo but not the full paid version.
You need to modify build.prop/default.prop for valid
ro.build.fingerprint=xxxxxxxxxx
for the UK market. Your OS version might be not authorised for the UK market yet.
For the Japan market I've had to use the fingerprint from the older OS.
Hi and thanks for the reply wildthing_san,
I've pulled a copy of the build and default files from an original X10i that I issues to one of my directors which looks like this...
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1235-7379/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA020/1274691689:user/rel-keys
And from looking at this forum page...
http :// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907&page=239
...the bit that looks important seems to be the bit I bolded.
However, on checking through the default file, there are a couple of other references to this like...
ro.semc.version.cust=1235-7379
ro.product.name=X10_1235-7379
I also can't find any reference to that number in the build file.
So my question is, (in a kind of is it safe way) should I just update the default file finger print in my phone to include that 1235-7379 reference, i.e. change it from....
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1232-9897/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA024/1276581782:user/rel-keys
to...
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1235-7379/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA024/1276581782:user/rel-keys
...and ignore those other references or change those as well?
EDIT: Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you my friend.
Your suggestions were spot on, I did basically what I was wondering above including the extra two changes to the version and name and everything works spot on!!!!
Thanks again mate! Really appreciate the help/advice.
Might have spoken too soon. Some apps have come back. But not all. Still missing one polarbit game and strangely a couple of unimportant free apps. Trying the clears cache trick and will wait 24hrs to see if things continue to improve. My Paper plane 2 is back atleast
Sorry for hijacking your thread sligthly, I would appreciate it if somebody could upload a Nordic, or preferrably Swedish default.prop.
Im curious to see what the following lines looks like
ro.semc.country=
ro.semc.locale.language=
ro.semc.locale.region=
Anyone ?
Please ??
Hello all!
Well i've used many search tools here on site, and i've also done some cutom searches on my phone, and yet can't find what i KNOW is here somewhere.
So i'm asking for a little help to point me in the right direction! I'm on the Samsung Fascinate (obviously) running 2.3.3 EC09 with Kernel 2.6.35.7
I would love to get my hands on a cutom dialer, and maybe even in addition to some customization onto contacts list look and feel.
Now directing me to themes and apps is not what im looking for, i dont care to add any full phone theme, i make my own custom (yet basic) themes, just wondering if there is any pre-made dialer replacements, and just maybe a contact list to go along??
I'm almost certain someone will call me blind and point me right there, but I really have came to my witz end looking, and have probably looked right over it!
Thanks in advance for the help in where to find what my mind seeks!!!!
Edit- Before someone asks or states " if you built your own theme why not a dialer?" Simply put, I don't want to!!!! I want a quick pre-made to move about my buisness with!!
i got a htc inspire 4g running absolution 3.7 (based on cm7). someone called me on my phone yesterday and had the number on my call log.. i didnt save it. by accident, i deleted the number from my call log. is there any way to get it back? is it still stored in my phone?
Ask your mobile operator
Ask your mobile operator to tell you the number of caller who called you, they might have that info in their servers. Tell them it is very very very very important to you, otherwise they don't bother to tell you anything. You have to make them believe that it was actually very important to you.
This is a long way out, but it might work.
I don't know any way to retrieve that no.. So wait for some other person on xda who can tell you a solution.
But my solution, use it when nothing works. Because my solution might work.

hi apourvi.. thank you for your reply.. the problem with asking tmobile this is that i'm on pre-paid with them.. i'm no longer a regular customer.. i called them saying that its an emergency and the whole nine.. but they said it was impossible to get me the number since i'm on pre-paid. let me know what you think.. thanks brother.
Search online website of your provider
Go online to your provider, check if they have some 'login' or 'register'.
Go online to your provider and look at your history there. They might provide some info on your mobile records.
And I think there should not be any problem in retrieving a call log for your provider, even if your on Pre-paid.
For e.g. if police have suspect a phone no. (in case of crime cases), they ask the provider for call log info, and they get it, whether its pre paid or post paid.

Yeah do what "Apourv" said above that should do it.
So I was reading a blog outside of XDA (yes that is right, I do read other sites) and came across this interesting thing that I thought I would share. Plus this is a pre-emptvie strike against all the spawn threads popping up asking this.
In previous Android builds the Developer Options was in Settings>scroll to near bottom and there is was. Now in 4.2, that setting is gone. Well not really. It IS gone from plain sight, but it is still there. Seem those crafty OS builders decided to hide it from you.
All you have to do is go to Settings>About Phone/Tablet (this is for N4 and updated N7 too) and click on the Build Number a few times --->[Think about when you are mashing the screen to find the Easter Egg. It is similar to this]. It should start counting down. Repeat the process until it states, "You are now a developer". Then you can back out to the main page of Settings and your Developer Options should now be there.
Please note, I said Build Number and NOT Android Version
Good Luck and Happy Developing

I Had found it my self the first time i used cm10.1 without any ones help
I have looked around at a few other threads and checked Verizon's boards with no success. Their tech support agents want to swap out my phone but that option isn't feasible right now since I'm on call at work. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, what apps I need to look at, or if there is a menu that I can make changes in? I'm rooted and running the latest Sky Dragon rom and kernal. I don't know what other info would help. Thanks in advance!
*Update! I haven't been getting voicemail notification either. This is huge, I may lose my job. :/
