[Root]How to Install Incompatible apps from Google Play Store - Samsung Galaxy Star

Some Android apps on Google Play claim to be incompatible with Samsung galaxy Star There’s a good chance that these apps will run fine on many of our device – you can bypass this check with root access.
Some apps won’t actually work after you install them, but many will. This also solves problems with games that will install but refuse to play – for example, Gameloft games with the “this device is incompatible” message.
Tools needed:
*Rooted Samsung Galaxy Star
*ES File Explorer "Get it from here "
*Brain
Steps:
1-Launch ES File Explorer , Go to setting panel , Enable Root Explorer , And grant it root access.
2-Navigate to the /system/ directory on your device and locate the build.prop file.
3-You should create a copy of the original build.prop file elsewhere – long-press on it, select Copy, and then Paste it into another folder – say, your /sdcard/ folder.
4-Now you’re ready to edit the file. Long-press it, select Open As, select Text, and select the ES Note Editor app.
5-Google Play makes decisions about your device based on a number of build.prop settings
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6-
Code:
ro.product.model
ro.product.brand
ro.product.name
ro.product.device
ro.product.manufacturer
ro.build.fingerprint
Samsung’s Galaxy S2 is a popular choice to fake devices to.
Now we are gonna Edit build.prop
make those edits to your build.prop
Code:
ro.product.model=GT-I9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-I9100
ro.product.device=GT-I9100
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9100/GT-I9100:4.0.4/IMM76D/ZSLPQ:user/release-keys
Now the latest step
Go into the Settings screen, select Applications, select Manage Applications, tap the All category, and select the Google Play app. Clear its cache and data, and then restart your device
Warning :
Any mistake done to build.prop may lead to damage your phone or break your software , you should be careful while editing this file , I'm Not responsible for any thing happens to your phone
If you don't wanna take the risk of editing build.prop , you’d rather just bypass the whole process and use an app, we know of at least two:
*Market Helper
*Device Spoofer​

[Q] Enable Auto Awesome Movies in Google+ 4.2 on S3

The new Auto Awesome Movie functionality in Google+ 4.2 seems pretty cool. Here's an article if you don't know what it is:
http://lifehacker.com/google-adds-auto-awesome-movies-great-video-editing-f-1454154626
Anyway, it's only enabled on certain devices running Android 4.3 like the Nexus's. How can it be enabled on S3's running 4.3?
Here's how you see it's enabled:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

how to enable in other devices
has anyone found the way yet?
I'm also looking for this for my Note 2. Would love to have auto awesome movies, but it is not available on many devices. Surely someone out there has found a way to make it work on other devices?!
Maybe you can change your device ID within the build prop?
any solution?
I've got a Note 2 as well running Kitkat and I'm sort of pissed for a few weeks now that I can't get movies to work.
I found the solution to enable making movie feature in google photos, but you will need to have your phone rooted.
You need to edit build.prop file in /system folder in root and find and edit as following:
(be sure to backup your build.prop file first)
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=shamu
ro.product.manufacturer=Google
o.build.product=shamu
ro.product.model=Nexus 6
ro.product.device=shamu
ro.cm.device=shamu
Save the file and do a reboot and then try selecting multiple photos and click on the plus button on top, it will now show an option to make a movie, if still it does not show, reboot again it will show up.

[MOD] Media/Volume NavBar for TouchWiz In Car Installs

With the help of 7786 and lots of time spent to fix the code on the IronRom's NavBar, I have finally finished the Media/Volume Navbar for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 for TouchWiz.
This mod not only enables the NavBar, but it is modified to change Volume for those installs where a Volume Knob is not an option like mine. Also has the Previous, Play/Pause and Next Playback functions. The Google Logo opens the Google Search when held for a second. I for one really don't care to have a Search Engine taking up valuable space on my Screen (despite the ScreenShots [emoji14])
On Certain Launchers, for example Apex Launcher, The Navbar is Transparent. I don't know what other Launchers are like this But it looks great.

How to Install Mod:
1. Download Zip 2. Enable Soft Keys 3. Restart Into Recovery 4. Install Zip 5. Clear Dalvik/Cache 6. Enjoy
How to Enable Soft Keys:
Section 1: Pre-requisites
You need to have root access on your device.
Install Root Explorer or ES File Explorer or any file manager with which you can access the system partition. Below steps are given for Root Explorer.
Make sure your device is at least 70% charged to avoid complications during the process.
Section 2: Procedure
Open your preferred file manager and mount the system partition as read-write in stead of read only. Grant superuser access when it prompts.
Go to the system folder present in the root of file system. i.e the path- /system
root explorer
Now open the file “build.prop” in any Text Editor. For Root Explorer users, long click on “build.prop” file and tap on “Open with Text Editor”. (Before editing this file, for a safety, copy this file to the external memory card and save as a backup.)
build.prop
Now add the following line to this file at the end:
Code:
[CENTER]qemu.hw.mainkeys=0[/CENTER]
Save and Exit.
Now reboot your device.
Voila! You now have soft keys on your device!
If soft keys are still not enabled, please check if you have typed in the exact line as above. There are some apps which do this for you with a single click. But these apps may cause boot loops. Happy Androiding!

[GUIDE] Export Your Kernel Adiutor Settings to init.d Script

Hi, there.
The reason I make this thread is just want to share some tips to export your Kernel Adiutor profile settings to make it as a script running via init.d on your device and also as a backup for reasons. Since I'm having some trouble with Kernel Adiutor such as fail to apply on boot on restart, reseting all of my tweaks for no reason after restart, switching from different ROMs, etc. that really grind my gears.
NOTE : I prefer doing this work on PC and using Notepad++ or other text editor since its more easier.
1. Make sure your device is already have working init.d
2. Open your Kernel Adiutor, make some tweaks and save it as a profile in Hamburger Menu - Profile
3. Go to /data/data/com.grarak.kerneladiutor/files/ and copy profiles.json to somewhere else
4. Open profiles.json in Text Editor and copy all of its contents to clipboard
5. Go to https://www.browserling.com/tools/json-to-text to convert .json to txt, just paste it on the text box provided and click convert!.
6. Copy the text inside the text box and create a new files, paste onto it.
7. From this point we will edit the lines and remove unused lines so pay attention to avoid deleting the useful one
8. As you can see there are lines begins with "command" and "path", delete all the lines that start with the "path".
9. After you done with that, next is ONLY delete the words "command" from all lines. you will see fewer lines of codes after all this step. Then don't forget to save it as file without extension ex. : 69mykernelsettings
10. If you want to make sure you did copy the correct code, just do quick cross-check from Kernel Adiutor - Profile and see Information and compare it to the profile you use with the file we just made.
11. Last step copy your file to /etc/init.d/ , dont forget to give it permissions rwxr-xr-x (0755) or it wont executed on boot.
Here are some screenshot example from my profile :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Maybe this method is so convensional and too much hassle but it works for me and if you have a better method feel free to share in this thread and give some feedback
