[FIX] Official 2.2 ROM Market Fix - flashable zip file and the adb way

I flashed my desire with the new HTC ROM from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663
As usual with stock ROMs there are issues with the market.
Like in this example apps not showing up in the search.
I came up with a fix for this issue.
It takes you 5 minutes if you have the proper environment.
I edited the build.prop found in the ota22.zip and modified it to fit my needs.
The original build.prop
ro.product.name=htc_bravo
ro.product.device=bravo
ro.product.locale.language=hdpi
ro.product.locale.region=
ro.build.product=bravo
ro.build.description=2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys
ro.build.description=2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_bravo/bravo/bravo:2.2/FRF91/218634:user/release-keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My modifications:
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.build.product=passion
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF91 43546 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys

Here's how to fix this:
You'll have to know your way around with the dev tools and the command adb.
If you don't, use the forum search tool and teach yourself - then come back.
- use adb to pull off the 'build.prop' file from the /system/ directory on your htc desire
- edit the 'build.prop' as proposed by me
- do a 'adb reboot recovery'
- fire up ClockworkMod
- go into the partitions menu and mount /system
- use adb to push your modified build.prop into /system/ on your device
- back out of ClockworkMod and reboot
- enjoy the black market
I used the build.prop from Adam's HTC Sense 1.0c ROM to figure out which setting to use.
I'm to lazy to make a signed update.zip for that.
I know others will do it sooner or later
take care
EDIT:
Here's the update.zip I previously was too lazy to cook.

Google should fix this in a few days now HTC's Froyo's ID is public.
In the mean time, cool

I hope it will will take them only a few days and not like it took them with eclair.
There is still no possibility to get 'Google Earth' from the market without modifying the build.prop.

Google Earth is listing as available for me.

Open the .zip under /system and extract the build.prop.
Now change the entrys as above an overwrite the original in the .zip.
Flash the .zip and you are good to go.
All the zipping and unzipping was done with windows, no other tools needed.

I've got the update.zip baked.
get it from my first post

@androidophile,
I've done what you suggested with the fix. How can I actually check if this is working?

I tested it with apps from a complain from an user in another post.
It was the applications 'Air Attack' and 'National Rail'.

Hi,
I'd just like to point out that it seems that Google has already activated the new Desire key, so this is not actually necessary.
I can see Google Earth and paid apps, so this fix is no longer required. (At least that's what I've found, confirmation from someone else would be nice!)
Edit: unless it's a different problem of course, then just disregard me

I flashed the zip and I still can't get certain apps for example ultimatejuice and doodle jump
Any ideas

I just checked these two apps and both show up in my market search.
I flashed my phone with the zip too.
could you do some troubleshooting for me?
use a file explorer and navigate to /system/ and check if the build.prop was modified, by opening the file as text.
you should see these changes:
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.build.product=passion
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF91 43546 release-keys

jep. I posted the wrong link.
the right one is in my first post.
your update.zip doesn't contain the neccessary script nor is it signed.
check out my patch on how it's build.

It is possible to install the apk modifying the Androidmanifest file in the last two codes below with apkeditor Pro hacked version, In two options to run it on android it says something about true, You change it to False and save the android manifest, And then you compile the apk but then it comes out, Maybe the apk requires Obb data, but the issue would be how to run it on Android, what if the game graphics were to be obtained?

open your build.prop, create a backup and replace the following:
Code:
BEFORE

ro.product.brand=amazon
AFTER
ro.product.model=GT-1000
ro.product.brand=Samsung
as long as you dont edit the fingerprint and build description, you should still get ICS apps.

[Q] Real Racing 3

Are you able to install games like Real Racing 3 or Asphalt 8 from Play store? It is saying the app is incompatible with your device / HTC One mini.
Anyone know why is it so?
Are the games working on your phones?

The same here. What could be it? Hardware or Android 4.2.2?
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mini mit Tapatalk

If you didn't get your update to 4.3 & Sense 5.5 yet, there is nothing you can do on stock software. There's something wrong with compatibility on 4.2.2 version of android for our Mini.
After update, games like GTA 3, GTA Vice City, Real Racing 3 and many others became compatible in my case.
Wait for OTA and it'll be fine then

Thanks for the redeeming Answer . No I still have no update of Android 4.3 (Telekom, Germany). They say it comes in a few days.

Quite strange. These games were also uncompatible on my mini but on 4.2.2.
After update to 4.3 almost all of the games are visible in play store.
Games I checked:
- GTA 3
- GTA Vice City
- N.O.V.A 3/4
- Real Racing 2/3
- GT Racing 2
- Asphalt 7/8
- NFS Most Wanted
- Assasins Creed Pirates
- Modern Combat 4
- Max payne
- Fast&Furious 6
I've installed 3 of them:

Is your phone fully stock/unrooted? I'm running a rooted stock rom of the 4.3 / sense 5.5 update and the play store won't let me install those games. I'm not sure if being rooted has anything to do with it though, and was just wondering if its only the official ota(unrooted) roms that work

Im on stock Vodafone branded Rom - no root. I recently updated it to 4.3 and I was actually surprised about games compatibility.
Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

Hmmm. It seems like it'll only work on the stock. For me, the at&t version has everything except for gta sa that I know that isn't compatible. But I use the [email protected] apps, so I don't really care about that.

aww man. Is there any known fix to make the play store know that the games are compatible? I couldn't find anything in search bar.

FYI, incompatible or missing apps are most likely due to DPI config being collected by the store and then filtering is applied....
There is indeed a fix for this, generally for ROOTED devices (see below), but there are/were apps that can change DPI on your device (haven't checked recently, but I used one a couple of years ago and it worked, called LCD density modder I think....)
This thread has flashable zips for modded store apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
This thread has a guide explaining how the store uses DPI config, and how the mod gets around it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827

Hi, thanks for your help! I've read through the thread but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm assuming I'm supposed to use the DPI 320 patch but I don't understand how I use it. there are no download links and I can't download the Google Play 4.3.10 at the bottom of the first post. Thanks for any help
Also, I've just found that editing the build.prop file will work if you change the model and brand name. However I've left everything as is and changed the ro.product.model=HTC One Mini to ro.product.model=HTC One, but in device ID it still shows HTC One Mini.
I'm running the stock rooted android 4.3./sense 5.5 odex rom. Thankyou!

Since you're on 4.3, download this modded store, version 4.5.10 http://d-h.st/rYl
Flash from recovery, and you should be good.....
If that doesn't work as expected, try the work-a-round from MyLifeRocks10:
Follow these steps if you have problems like certain apps not showing up in Play Store(e.g. Facebook,Beautiful Widgets) or shows incompatiblity error.
1. Flash the zip file and reboot.
2. In Settings->Apps->All clear data of Play Store and Google Services Framework then reboot.
3. Open Play Store, if it gives error then clear data of Play Store and open Play Store again then hit accept.
4. If ur apps doesn't show up under installed apps in play store after installing this fix then reboot once and u should see it afterwards.
5. If above steps didn't fix ur issues then remove Google account,reboot and re-add ur Google Account.
If the above options don't work - you can use xposed installer and add the "All apps in Play Store" module....
Hit Thanks if I've helped!
Edit: just noticed you're on an odex ROM (do you prefer over deodexed? Odex causes issues with certain mods...) I can't confirm if the modded zip will work on odexed... maybe search the thread.....?

Thank! I had tried that method earlier but it didn't work however I wasn't sure why. I am using an odex rom simply because I saw people recommending it over the dexodex rom. I'm not actually sure what the difference is so I dont have any preference. Thanks for telling me that the odex rom should be avoided if modification are needed!
In the end I managed to change the build.prop successfully. Turns out you have to change ro.product.device=m4 to ro.product.device=m7! It was that simple! I was just changing some things to hopefully get it to work and it did. Hope this helps anyone else who always has my problem. All the apps I wanted now show up in the playstore and I can install them without any problems. This eliminates the need to mod the play store too, and im assuming future play store updates won't affect the build.prop and this method will continue to work.
Thanks to those who helped.
Hit thanks If i also helped

Many thanks the build.prop method worked for me and all my app like GTA are now available. Though asphalt 8 still won't download due to some error code..
I tried many Modded play stores and non worked. This has. Cheers!
