I only ask b/c I noticed when I go to Market, it believes I have a Sensation XE after I downloaded Revolution. Is there way to make Market think I have a Nexus S or SII or something like that?

You have to be rooted to do this.
open your build.prop file (in system) and look for..
ro.product.model=(Insert new device name here) -- I found this entry twice on my Sensation (ARHD 4.1.7)
ro.product.manufacture=(insert the manufacture's name)
If you choose a phone model compatible with the app then you should be able to download it.
Make sure you make a nandroid back up!

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunatley, I do not see /system folder under ES File Manager. I'm running the latest version of Revolution.
You need to be rooted and have ticked the root explorer option and mount system

Strange. That is what I gathered from reading the forums but I don't see the folder. I confirmed I had root as well. I'm so bummed and annoyed that I care about this game!

Okay...I found it. How do I edit it? I used QuickOffice but the file wouldn't save. Also, I only saw the ro.device/manufacturer listed once. And it also said I have a HTC Pyramid?

Use Root Explorer (Easiest), Terminal (with VI, only if you know VI though), Notepad++ (on a PC)..
Keep looking, it should be there somewhere.
And I used ES note editor

Thanks, I was able to make the changes and save it, but I'm not sure if it worked. I could not see We Rule in Android Market.
However...on Market when I go on it with my computer, it says "this app is not compatible with your TMobile Samsung Nexus S"
So you can download it?

No, I cannot download it. Not sure why b/c I was able to when I did have a Nexus S. On a side note, before the market was more developed, I was able to download We Rule from teh market but after signing in and loading, I would get a message saying the game was incompatible with my phone. I'm wondering if it's because we do not have a device w/ Tegra 2?

Did it say why it was incompatible? you need to press the small + icon when you are browsing the market on your computer.
"We Rule is currently not available on your device. We're working hard to make the game accessible to everyone. Please check back soon, and try other Mobage games in the meantime."
The + button says "T-Mobile HTC HTC Sensation 4G
This item is not compatible with your device."
Bummer.
We Rule was updated today and still does not work for the HTC Sensation.

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/
So i dont take credit for this so i posted the whole page please in joy.
Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
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 an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

Interesting, I've tried searching for the netflix app but couldn't find it on glacier. The author seemed to think you could download it first then do the process. Have you used this method and tried to find the app after changing the build.prop?

The download link for the app is in blue in step 7 of the link.
There are a couple threads already in our themes and apps section...but I'm on Virtuous Fusion and I've tried the HTC Vision build.prop method a few times and it hasn't worked for me...
Edit: Before and after changing the build.prop stuff I would get audio with a white screen

Ditto, exact same situation, exact same rom, sound but only white screen. Just confirming its not just your phone.

I edited the build.prop and used the Nexus S, Samsung build (reboot), but on mine I only get a black screen, audio is working for about 5 to 8 seconds, then it goes back to the movie list.. no FC message... I was thinking maybe this is because I'm using a custom kernel + custom ROM? Are you guys using the stock kernel?... I also have a HTC G2 (supposedly supported), but on that phone I only get an audio and white screen...

i was using the royal ginger. Also evil-d just update his rom to work for it.

Were u using royal Ginger 2.0 or 1.6?
MT4G + CM7 + Faux's BFS LV kernel
2.0 but the official app won't work. You have to us the mod app I posted above.
Can the netflix.apk be modded itself?
inside the apk, there's a folder called "lib" and inside lib, there's a folder called "armeabi"
which lists
libnetflix_device1.so
libnetflix_device2.so
libnetflix_device3.so
libnetflix_device4.so
libnetflix_device5.so
libnetflixmp_jni.so
can a device6.so be added to the apk to add the mytouch?
or maybe one of the given, be edited?

I am pretty new to HTC, I just moved over from the Vibrant. Do these app require the phone to be rooted before it can be installed or just installing the apk will work. I know with the Vibrant, you have to copy the files to the system directory. But in order to get there, I needed to root my phone. Is this the same thing?

Unless they've been altered they will require root. They may also have dependencies that don't exist on our altered systems. I took all the apps out of the posted stock roms on the dev board over the weekend. The only one that would install was sound recorder but that was installed via htc sync and it wouldn't work.
So far the only app I know will work is the car panel but I'm not sure where that even came from since I heard it was left out of the euro s4g too.
EDIT: I realize that I messed up the title. I meant to write if we could replace the current HTC messaging app with the vanilla one.
Title says it all. I've gotten used to HTC's way of things but I'd really, really prefer the vanilla experience. Since we don't have S-OFF or custom AOSP roms yet, can we at least replace the MMS.apk on our Sensations with the vanilla one?
Bump. Does anyone have a clue? It's apparently been done on, for example, the G2. I'd really rather have stock messaging app.

Thanks for the answer. I guess this is another reason to anticipate S-OFF!
Right.....
Or how about you just install it with a file manager. Then disable the notifications from htc messagin app
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
I followed these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11050253&postcount=2 and used the Mms.apk provided there, which should be the 2.3 vanilla messaging app.
Everything went fine when copying over to the phone, etc., but when trying to actually open the app on my phone it force closes from the start. It does show the vanilla mms.apk icon though, the green text bubble with the smiley. If I could get this to stop force closing and actually open/work, I'd be happy!
I'll get you a link to one.

Yeah you have to copy it to your system apps with a file explorer...

If you have Root Explorer or any other explorer, then try to copy and paste it to /system/app/ and reboot the phone. Hope that helps.

It should work as we have temp root which last till the reboot. And if not then you cant just use adb to either install or push. There should be ways around this. :/

Hi all. I finally went to my local tmo store & got my mt4g updated to gb 2.3.4, and everything seems to have gone well, except when I went to get "Better Cut" from the market, its not there anymore. "Any Cut " is there but not the upgraded version. I was hoping some 1 could help me get it, also if it can't be found, is there another app that anyone would recommend to make shortcuts and custom widgets & such? Thanks, jj

Hi Guys,
Regarding to the several articles I read about this game it suppose to work on the Desire S device. However GooglePlay says it's incompatible. Do you have any experience on this?
EDIT: solved, available in the market now.
Thanks!
No one tried?
Nope, not compatible, on stock rom and blindice.

What you can try is download the .apk file, if it's free, and install it like that, it may have bugs in it because it isn't designed for it phones,I have done it for my phone on different not compatible apps and it worked then

It's not free, it costs around one buck, and I don't want to use any illegal source. BTW I did this with death rally, it is free (and it works).
What you could do is contact the developer and ask if you can download the .apk file and you pay over Paypal or something or AK them to make it ds compatible
