ok so (sorry this one is going to be long and it isnt just about the game anymore im honestly curious whats wrong) but let me start by saying i have been trying to install sims 3 or sims freeplay and of course neither show up in the market..so i decided to edit the build prop to see if they would show up then, and of course they did...so i tried to instal freeplay and it allowed me to download and install, but when it was trying to download the game from ea/s servers it gave an error..so i got curious and went into about phone and looked at the model number it was still ADR6425LVW...now on my galaxy nexus when i changed it to GT-I9300 the model number in the settings changed also..i assume the game wouldnt download from the servers because in the market both games are "incompatible" as they say originally before i edited the build prop..i assume that since the model number is still ADR6425LVW..ea still sees that and gives an error where as the market sees what i put in the build prop file and allows me to download the games..i have put the build prop in notebad and searched for anything related to ADR6425LVW and the number exists nowhere in the build prop so i am wondering why it will not change? anyone know whats wrong? to be honest i dont even know why the game isnt available because they cannot say its the screen or the processor my galaxy nexus plays the game just fine..idk if anyone has any idea whats wrong do you think you could help? because i saw one guy edited his to the desire hd and even on google play it says his model number is the desire hd..
.props give me migraines bro. Here's a free bump, hope you get it working.

Decided to spend a couple hours scratching my head and find a solution.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get a working download from a build.prop edit either. Nor can I find the SD data files for the latest version of Freeplay for download. But you say you have the game running on your Galaxy Nexus...:
http://blog.yellowchilli.net/2012/04/how-to-solve-ea-games-server-error-5002.html?m=1
Try copying data files to the Rezound. Still may have issues running the game itself to solve but that gets you one step closer in the process.
Good luck.

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.
Hey guys,what's up?
So,question one is about Gameloft's games.I am getting a Galaxy S 2 some time soon,so this "issue" came up.I want to buy some games from Gameloft,but I saw that downloads are device specific.Now,if I buy,let's say,Assasin's Creed for my Desire HD,will I be able to download it again for free on my Galaxy S 2(If it works,don't care,it's just an example)or will I have to rebuy it?
Question two is in regards to FPSE.I bought it yesterday from the Market and face issues.Well,I open it,change some settings,set a bios and run a game(Digimon World 3 ).The moment the game is running my settings are reset.This also happens when I change the settings(only set bios and country) and restart the app.It's like I just downloaded it.What the heck is wrong?I realised it had problems after two hours,so a refund was not possible.Plus,today's update didn't fix anything.Any ideas?
Thanks!
In case someone decides to answer,I have another problem.
I bought Asphalt 6 HD from market.I start it and it downloads some 500mb of files it needs to my SD card,but when it's done and I press "OK",instead of running it fc's.Not that I manage to read the message that appears on screen,it goes away almost instantly.All I get is a black screen,the said message and voila,I'm back to my app drawer.Any ideas? :\
I thiiiiiink Asphalt doesn't work on GalaxySII. I haven't tried personally but in the GSII forum there is a thread on what games work and its definitely on the 'does not work section...'

Firstly thanks for answering,I was a little discouraged with the support I didn't get on the topic!
Secondly,I know that it doesn't work on the GS2(that's if you don't use Chainfire3D).I am trying this on my Desire HD,the Galaxy S 2 arrives tomorrow.It also says that the download fails and I have to continue but it seems broken for some reason.Pretty ****ed up.
I brought my HTC Evo 3D from sprint and the spiderman 3D game from gameloft was there. I upgraded and brought the full game, now my phone is rooted with a new rom. Can i some how get the spiderman 3D game back on my new rooted phone?
Gameloft game's are device specific. They have a different APK file for every device, and each different APK file will ask their servers for a slightly different set of SD' files.
When you buy a game off them for a certain device, they will let you download the same APK as many times as you like. But they will not let you buy for one device, then download the APK for another device later.
Unless you bought the game from the android market of course, buy from there you can download as many times as you like from as many different devices as you like.
A theory why Gameloft games don't appear on the Android market all that much.
If you bought the Desire HD version from gameloft and it doesn't work I would contact them.
If you didn't and got the APK elsewhere, its version 3.0.9 you need for the desire hd, if you got any other version it would of downloaded the wrong SD files and would explain why it doesn't work.

Yeah...Well,thanks dude.But this thread has been long buried and forgotten.I've found the answer,no problems now.I gotta admit though,not being able to download the apk as many times as you want is a little bullshitty.

Anyone having problem using Gamecih on Zenonia 3??
I've been using it for Zenonia 2 and Illusia and it worked just fine.
But I've started playing Zenonia 3 a month ago, I was never able to use it..
I got on hidden mode, typed in some value (i.e. money, stat points, etc),
searched it, got numerous results, made some change to the value in the game,
re-search, mostly got "0 found" or sometimes actually get the right associated value I was looking for, but that's it!
Even though I find the right one, I cannot change it..
I could change the value on Gamecih, but that won't do on the actual game.....
I've tried it on the other games(Zenonia2 and Illusia) that I used to play with Gamecih,
and they worked just fine..
Why is Zenonia 3 the only one that Gamecih won't work on me??
I know many ppl out there have no problem using Gamecih on Zenonia3,
so I know the game itself is not something like "gamecih blocked"
I've been using Gamecih app for my games almost a year now..
So I know everything including going onto hidden mode and whatnot,
so this is nothing about that I'm using it wrong!
Please... I need help!!!!
i have the same problem as you :O i use gamecih with zenonia 1 and 2, but when i started zenonia 3 even with the hidden mode on gamecih, i can't change any value :S..i think we need to wait till gamecih makes it's update in august, because zenonia is the most new of the three zenonia, and even with hidden mode doesn't work :O so let's wait a bit xD
I made a forum dedicated to cheating android apps/games.
I would like anyone who uses GameCIH, Hex-edit, GameCheat Engine, or want cheats to sign up!
Tell me what cheats you want for what app/game and ill try to find them. And hopefully you guys can post some good stuff too.
see ya'll there, and hope this isnt against xda.

Hi! Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this
Though I'm unable to actually register an account on the androidgamer.tk website after changing at least 20 usernames. Is it because IP addresses from certain location are banned or..?
Please do advise, help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
wow, cheating at mobile gaming. That's a new low...
I am facing some differnt kind of Issue.
I am using Feravold V20 rom. Iv installed Game CIH 3 also tried lower versions but the problem is the same. Whenever I pull out CIH to find any value it finds it but then if I want it to hide it or minimize to carry on playing the game it just dont minimize. It just stays on the front screen and I cant get rid of it unless I stop Game CIH. Any idea whats wrong or if its me?

SORTED...
so...saw this pretty cool game featured on ancroidcentral and decided to give it a shot since it was free.
"incompatible with SGH-T959" is what the market tells me.
Description says to run on newer devices like the nexus one....
anyone get this to run on their vibrant? can't imagine our hardware is already outdated to the point where a nexus one can run this but not ours???
Downloaded but wouldn't load for me. Uninstalled already
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Downloaded and running fine on ss 14.1
running fine here SS 14.1 and LE 5.1
This is just one of those games that you have to pay with real money to advance well
tweak your build.prop to identify your phone as either a galaxy S or a galaxy S II. that usually fixes incompatibility and cannot download issues with marketplace.
I just searched for it on the net and downloaded it and put it on my sdcard and installed the game... runs perfect... no need to edit anything
BTW the game gets old quick
I bought the Sims 3 a long time ago for my daughter to play on my phone and I thought I'd load it up on the Touchpad for her, but it doesn't show up in a search in Android market, and doesn't show up in my app list as purchased. If I go to the market on my PC though, it's there and showing purchased. I try to send it to my TP as a HP GT-i9100 and it never sends it. My build.prop has been edited to a GT-i9100.
Thoughts on this issue?
There are threads on this topic already. The gist of it is you're going to need to sideload a backup from your phone. Changing your build.prop to a Nexus S will allow you to download it from the market, but once you launch it you'll still need to download the sum of the game from EA's servers, which won't be fooled.
You need to install the game on your phone, back up the apk and the downloaded data from the android system folder on the SD card, and then transfer them to your touchpad.

I searched and only one other thread came up, and it didn't pertain to my question. Thanks though! It's already installed on my phone so it'll be easy to do. Thanks for the reply.

From what I understand, EA has not updated the game for ICS and I am personally not convinced it can be made to work until (if!) they update it.
I had my build.prop set to a T989 Samsung Galaxy S II and under this setting it did show up in CM7 but it is not showing up with the same build.prop settings in CM9 which is making me think the issue is not the device setting but the actual version of the OS. Comments in the reviews seem to confirm it does not work with ICS and EA has not gotten off their ass to update the game since September, which is BEFORE ICS was even released.
I suppose it might be possible to obtain the apk from some, ahem, unofficial source (and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch I paid for the app a while back it just won't show in the market anymore) and sideload it.
Even if you do that and manage to get it to load and then load the data from another device there is still the issue that the game is made for 16:9 aspect ratio and will not work properly on 4:3. The only way I know of to fix that is to get hacked files that force a 16:9 ratio (with a portion of the bottom of your screen unusable) and I don't believe there is an ICS version of those files, just Gingerbread.
TL;DR - I'm not convinced it can be made to work under ICS and to even attempt it is a huge pain in the ass.

It works fine on ICS. I have it running on alpha .6. The problem is the unsupported touchpad resolution of the TP messes up all the onscreen touch buttons. Maybe EA will update it in the future.

I wouldn't hold my breath. I don't think Android is much of a priority for EA right now.
I did a full wipe when updating to CM9 and reinstalled everything but haven't been able to reinstall Sims due to it as far as I can tell being blocked for ICS. Have you had luck getting it to show up in the market with a particular build.prop under CM9 or did you already have it installed from CM7?
I'm afraid the whole aspect ratio issue makes it not really playable though. I was using the hack posted here that forces 16:9 and it did work fine under that but those files were meant for CM7 and I have my doubts that they will work for CM9.
Anyway, it requires manually copying files, changing permissions and rebooting back and forth which is a pain in the butt. :-/
