I want to have a build.prop to have a fuller market and so I can download more games that I want and so I can download some SD data that a game isn't letting me download. Please help I have nook tablet 16 gig CM9 0.05.1. Thanks!

Well, are you asking what to change? Or how to actually go about changing it?

I am asking what to change.

I thought there was talk about changing the dots per inch or LCD density, but I'm not quite sure. Will edit this post if I find it again.

But I need to change it so I can have more of a selection in the market and to trick some apps I don't care about the LCD density but thanks anyway. WhTever you can do to help me is greatly appreciated

please read up on 'LCD density'. it "is" how the ( google ) market categorizes you as a phone or tablet. so... ya... you do need to toggle it.
.
and there are additional setting too.

Is this what you are looking for?

Yeah, you need to actually try to look things up and understand, you know? Instead of just getting directions from people and changing things. That way you know what's going on and have a better chance of fixing it when you gets stuck.

Use the files in fullboogies post and change the first several lines to be like the others they link to. To change it on your tablet use es file explorer and go all the way up then go to /system and click build.prop and use es text editor when it asks, and you can change what you want. I made mine look like the nexus 7, but there were bugs. Oh, and make sure system is r/w and root access in the settings.

OP - I used the method in the post I made above and have successfully swapped build.prop files many times to get access to new stuff on the market. It is a really easy process once you read, read, and re-read the thread I posted. Just make sure you have backups of the stock file, and make sure you keep track of which build.prop file is which.
Personally, I give them a unique name when I'm not using them, then change the name to "build.prop" when I want to swap for another one. Again, just make sure you keep track of which is which. And keep a backup copy of the stock one on your home computer, just in case.

Yeah, specifics would be nice. I have changed the build.prop to reflect a Droid X, and I still don't see it in the market. On my nook or my EVO.
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is a Droid X
ro.product.model=Droid X
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
Save and overwrite.
Use Google to find the apk. Install and update.
Here's a small video that I did showing that it work.

will this break netflix? and how would we update?
the game runs an update check at the beginning of running it, although i dont know when there actually is an update if it will just patch or make me reinstall a new apk.
got it working, fun game! and netflix still works
Just an fyi, quite a few devices work with this game, my Nook's build.prop is set to the Samsung Nexus S and both netflix and this game work fine.

if you have SwypeBeta installed and change your nook's build.prop ID, it'll give you a snarky "this ain't licensed anymore" message, but it doesn't seem to have affected my NC at all...

It probably will. I think they have a time delay before it goes to "reduced functionality" which basically means you can no longer swype, only touch type.
Worked
Thanks for the tip, got it up and running and downloading the updates right now!
It was somewhat difficult to find a good link to the apk though, a lot of them have been removed or are broken, and I'd be afraid to repost the link where I found it for fear of that one being removed as well.
However, I really want to be able to support gameloft so they keep pumping out awesome games, but the only way to get this on the nook is to download the apk free. Is there a way to give to gameloft what they earned?
Got it up and running last week, but a new update was released that makes it unable to play. If anyone has a work around for this, That would be cool. It is an error after I log in that says to update before I can play. But I can't find any way to update the game manually, and I can't access it through the market....
Do a google search for the latest version by number and you will find a download link for the game.
For anyone editing the build.prop....
You DO NOT have to CHANGE the lines...
Just ADD the new info at the TOP of build.prop... it will use the first entry it finds... this makes undoing changes much easier...
You can also use my IMEI Generator to do these edits... since they have to be done every nightly update... just remember to edit the ini file in the Generator...
Thanks for the info!
Worked for me
Im currently in the market for a tablet that can at least run games of this nature, how exactly is the performance on the NC? Im debating on waiting for the Kindle Fire, but if this runs smooth on here, i can save a few $$ and get a refurbed NC on the cheap.
Thanks for the feedback!

For me it runs pretty smooth, plus you can use chainfire3d app to make it smoother reducing graphics. I haven't tried with chainfire3d since for me it runs good as it is Haven't played it in a while I need to update to check if it still runs the same way.

Swap has been set to use a partition, so you'll have to change it back to using an image file.
I'm going from memory here, but use root explorer to edit /etc/uruk.conf/swap. You have to comment(add a #) swap_mem_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk1p4 and uncomment(remove the #) swap_mem_file=/swap01.file.
Then you can use urukconfig to enable it and change the size and swappiness.
Hi, can you just give me the whole things of comment and steps? I don't know how to edit in root explorer and where should I do the comments. Im really stupid in these things man please help me.... sorry to ask you alot.... have a good day.

Open root explorer. Navigate to /etc/uruk.conf. Press and hold on "swap" until the menu comes up. Scroll down and select "Open in Text Editor". Add a "#" to "swap_mem_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk1p4" It should look like this:
Code:
# swap_mem_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk1p4
Then remove the # from "# swap_mem_file=/swap01.file" and "# swap_mem_size=50" so it looks like this:
Code:
swap_mem_size=50
swap_mem_file=/swap01.file
Then enable swap in Urukconfig. In the future, check the wiki first, it may help.

No problem. It can be hard to understand without experience. Doesn't make you dumb.
Without wishing to sound like a complete noob what does enabling swap do for you?, performance?. Thanks for your patience lol

Swap is extra space the system can use as RAM. It doesn't work exactly the same though. For instance, if you set a 1 gig swap file, so the system theoretically has 1.25 GB of ram, it will still not act like it. In my experience, I've only seen 5-10 megs of swap space used, then the system starts killing background apps again, so I set my swap to 50MB and forget about it. Someone else may have more details on how the system actually uses the swap. I have a feeling apps don't use swap, only the underlying unix framework, but I've never really cared enough to look into it. Also, keep in mind that using solid-state storage for swap will reduce the life of the storage, since the system is constantly reading and writing to that portion of it(solid-state storage will crap out after a certain number of write cycles, it's hard to say how badly swap will affect this though).
Sounds like more hassle than its worth. Is there that much of an improvement in overall performance to warrant the effort?.

It just depends on how you use your device. On the newest stock firmware, when I start watching a video in the stock video player, it will kill Launcher Pro in the background. If I enable swap, it doesn't kill it. But playing a game like Gun Bros will always kill LP in the background. If you frequently have the launcher restarting(reloading all your widgets) when you go back to home, you should probably give it a shot. If you're on Uruk, it's not hard to enable, just have to edit one file with a text editor, and you can do it in root explorer.
Thank you. I am a long time looking for a way how to make the swap work

[Q] Nook Tablet keyboard force close in settings

This probably isn't a big issue but it's getting on my nerves. When I go to settings and hit keyboard, a 'Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.' I did "try" to root and unroot it. Anyone had this problem? Can anyone help??
Yeah, that's a common problem for everybody. Here's 2 ways you can change keyboards:
1.) Get Keyboard Manager from the Market. It can even let you choose different keyboards for portrait and landscape orientations.
2.) Go into The NT Hidden Settings app -> Acessibility Settings -> ignore the pop up -> input method
oh thank you so much. I had no idea it was a common problem. I searched for it here and on google. didn't find anything on it. but im relieved now that i know i'm not the only one. thanks.
I've downloaded and tried keyboard manager and downloaded several keyboards. None of the keyboards ever show up though. The only option I ever get in input is the default Android Keyboard.
I forgot to mention that you'll have to move the keyboard app into the /system/app folder of your device. Then reboot and you will have access to the different keyboards.
Also, there's a thread devoted to installing alternate keyboards in the Themes and Apps sub-forum. I would provide a link to the thread but I'm using my Tablet now and I have yet to flash CM7 with its copy/paste, haha.
Yep after moving the hackers keyboard to the right directory, it`s working great.

I am having trouble getting into the /system/app folder in my device. I've connected the NT to my PC, but cannot find the folder, and I've made it to show hidden folders.
My girlfriend got this Nook for her mother, and I'm really trying to get a good Japanese keyboard for her. I downloaded OpenWnn from the Market, but I can't find the APK file anywhere on the device either. I know I making some n00b mistakes! Please help me out!

I recommend ES File Explorer, as it's free and easy to use. In the app, hit the Favorites tab and you should see the internal storage represented by just a slash ( / ).

Thank you, I had ES File explorer already installed. I found the system/app folder, but I don't know where to find my APK file (for OpenWnn) I downloaded from the marketplace. However, the Keyboard Manager I downloaded, is showing up the system/app folder already.
Thanks a lot you guys for helping this n00b.
Also, this is kind of unrelated and I'm sure there is a 100 page thread somewhere about this, but whenever I checkmark "Allow third party applications", it automatically unchecks itself when I go back.
Thanks,

Try /data/app - that's where market apps typically go.

Glad to hear you got it working. In case you were still wondering or for others who have the same question, the keyboard app you downloaded was probably in this location: /data/app. From there you'd just want to move the app into the /system/app folder. Then reboot and you should be good to go (don't worry if you keep getting a force close of the keyboard app before you reboot).
EDIT: ckevin, you're too quick, haha.

Moved the file to the system/folder.. and it finally showed up in the accessibility setting, but still getting an error that it stopped unexpectedly.
Has anyone got another keyboard with a foreign language to work? I've been searching the forums for hours, but I haven't found any successful way to do this.
It looks like some people got swype and possibly other keyboards to work with CM7 installed.. Thinking I should go that route, but it's still in Alpha. I REALLY need the japanese keyboard, or this tablet is somewhat useless. Thanks everyone for your help.
Nook Force Close trying to change Keyboard
I have ES File Explr, I have seen the folders noted in the previous replies. Unfortunately, I cannot find the keyboard apk at all. There is actually nothing in my /data/app folder. From what I can tell, most are in the /system/app folder ...except the keyboard one I need.
So, to get around this, I downloaded a keyboard apk to my PC and then dropped it into my Download folder on my Nook. From there I used ES File Explr to copy/paste it to system/app folder -- but it would not allow this. I tried to "Move To" and "Cut/Paste" as well as the aforementioned "Copy/Paste." None of these were allowed.
I am at a complete loss. I understand I need to move the new Keyboard apk to system/app folder, but I still cannot find where it is stored. It does indicate "Installed." I tried a search in ES File Expl (for the word Keyboard, as it is in the apk name - even trying *.*apk, which was of no use, of course).
This thread addressed everything I asked and seemed to answer same. And I will continue looking for add'l help elsewhere in the forum. But if anyone can help me, I would be sooo very appreciative. Thanks!
PS:
I have the Nook Tablet orig. released Winter of 2011/2012, I think (when they first came out as "official Nook Tablet" with the Jane Lynch commercials (at the time Best Buy didn't even know they existed when I went in to purchase one). I rooted it (because a week after I got it they pulled that auto update that screwed all of us). But, aside from the root, I am not a super user. Everything I've done has been with the help of the masterful XDA instructions.

I was entertaining the possibility I could wind up flashing a build.prop mod or backup with those values we're editing left in as default carelessly.
Fallback precaution, ya know? Breaks links in text messages and gtalk, couple other quirks if apk is gone and those build.prop values are still at default.
Would probably realize the change in behavior again and know what happened, but things won't "break as bad" at first, at least.

[MOD] Enable Camera Shutter Sound Menu

Since the Note 3 is new, and so far, there is only one custom Rom, I've seen the "how do I disable camera sounds" question asked a few times.
I'm sure your favorite developer will incorporate this feature, into future Roms, like they have in the past, for previous devices. This is mainly for us impatient noobs.
You must be rooted. Using a root explorer, navigate to /system/csc. Backup your feature.xml. Navigate to /system/csc/SPR/system/csc. Copy feature.xml. Navigate back to /system/csc. Paste the new file, over writing the old one. Open the new feature.xml, scroll to the camera section, and change:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
to:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Save, exit,
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Note: I used 'Root Explorer'. ES File Explorer may also work.
Here is a list of potential csc parameters, gathered from other phones. I didn't create this list. I found it about a year ago, and thought it might be interesting, to play around with.
Edit: the text file came from @kkoolpatz

I edited the OP, to make it clearer, and modified the method, slightly.
One other possibility. Backup your feature.xml. Navigate to /system/csc/SPR/system/csc. Copy feature.xml. Navigate back to /system/csc. Paste the new file, over writing the old one. Open the new feature.xml, and change:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
to:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</
CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
(You're changing 'false' to 'true,)
Save, exit,
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Very useful. Thank you.
Thanks for the clarification in the OP. I now got it to work. Problem I had before was that I did not realize that I was simply changing false to true. Super simple.

Great! It's good to hear that the instructions where clear enough to be followed. There's a lot more that can be enabled, such as using the camera during calls. It's the same principle, just a matter of searching through the feature.xml, and flipping or changing the variables.

Must have missed it. I was going to post the same thing since that was one of the first things I did when rooted but never got around to it. Glad someone posted it for others. Always good to share info. However you should have done it in the DEV section with a [MOD] Tag. Post some of the other tweaks too. It'll disappear here in General.

Yeah, maybe so. I went back and forth in my mind, and decided that this really isn't development, so here we are in 'General'.
I had a bunch of these edits, when I had my Note 2. I'll have to dig through, and see what additional features we can enable on the Note 3. Any help is definitely appreciated.
Geez, i wonder why Sprint wont include this option by default. On the at&t Note 3, the option to silence is already baked in.

Sprint can't afford a lawsuit when some idiot takes a silent upskirt photo and someone decides to sue them for not having it make noise.
I'm on stock rooted and es explorer gives me a permission denied error when I try to overwrite features.xml from the SPR folder to system/csc, also unable to rename or edit directly from system/csc but I can copy and paste elsewhere to back up.

Open ES File Explorer and tap the phone menu button. A pane should open on the left side of the screen. Scroll to the bottom, and turn "Root Explorer" on. When the Super User prompt pops up, be sure to allow it.
Root explorer was already on, but I toogled on off just in case and it still fails. See screenshots

I'm not sure what the problem is. ES File had some problems with root, about a year ago, but I thought they got that fixed. I use it everyday, but not the root functions. Maybe you can try going into SuperSU, selecting ES File, and tapping "forget", then go back into ES, and accept the SU prompt.

Still failing after forgetting, I also reinstalled both ES and SU and no good. Any other free root explorers I can test? Or can anyone else using es verify if it's working for them?

There are several free in the Play Store. Maybe try a few?

I downloaded 'Root Browser' from the play store and this did the trick, ES Explorer is having root issues with the Note 3, well at least on my phone since no one else confirmed. I added the shutter menu (working) , enabled camera during calls (working), and tried to add a call button from the logs list but this didn't appear to work.
Thanks again!

Good. I'm glad you got it working.
