Faking what phone an app reads

Not quite sure how to explain this one but I need to change what my phone is read as when an application reads my phone.
I have a Galaxy S 4G on tmobile and downloaded the MLB app so I could watch the games live. My phone isn't listed as a supported device, but the Nexus S is listed as a supported device. The two phones are almost exactly the same. Unfortunately, the app can see what phone I'm using and blocks me from watching the games.
Is there any way to "change" which phone I'm using? Is there some file in the android os that can be changed?
I appreciate the help guys and hope this made sense.

I have no idea if this applies to your question, but I recently did something similar to get the timescape app working on my tmobile G2. I had to install the appropriate apps and then change the line in build. Prop that reads
ro.product. manufacturer =HTC
to
ro.product. manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
maybe this is what you are looking for?
instead of the manufacturer try changing the other lines like for example
ro.product. name=
or
ro. product. device=
good luck remember to back up before attempting!

I know how to do it. Pm me. I did it for the HTC hero CDMA I made our phone think it was a Droid x even in the market lol

GOT IT to work!!! Pretending I'm at Nexus One. I will go into more detail on my break. The resolution isn't where I hoped it to be. We will see tho. I will try to get the Nexus S details and try that instead.

No service means no RIL, but i guess once we get working RIL we will have bootable ICS to put it in.

Implying that we will actually get the complete source from Samsung.
Nevertheless, it's good to see we finally have it booting.

RIL seems to be the ticket to a lot of things. Cm9, ics, miui,aosp and on and on. Doubt sammy will release an updated source.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

I just wish they would just release the damn thing already I've at least noticed that if the phone has more development the better it sells so I think in a way they are losing money but that's just my opinion.

A couple of people and I were discussing on IRC last night if this was photoshopped or not.
There seem to be three parts with this picture:
1. The background. Seems too dark from the reflections on the screen.
2. A hand holding a blank Charge. The hand seems oddly feminine and the bottom seems a bit choppy. Also, the FFC doesn't seem perfectly round.
3. ICS screenshot - could be from GNexus. The clock seems slightly stretched.
I really hope this isn't shooped, but it has potential to be. We need input from JT.

That's because there's not one. It's just what you need to add/change to the source to make it work!
Pastebin has raw data input that can be formatted. The original input is the raw data, and the top part you see is the "pretty print" version.
Woohoo!

shall do my friend! Have had it for about 6-7 hours now and I love it. Display is fantastic (despite the digitizer haha) but phone won't make a sound or vibrate when text is received.. vibration and sound work everywhere else though. Even as I type. Rom wise I'm on eagles blood ics aosp right now and works fantastic. Came from cm9 though. Like eagles blood. How do you wipe the internal SD, without a computer, if possible?

Vibration might just be because of an app u downloaded. Some apps take control over that like some music apps and mms apps, Or you have to enable it in the messaging app settings. Also I'm no expert but can't u just delete everything with a file explorer? I just wiped everything recently so I can try again.
Edit: I think the internal SD is under mnt, emmc, so u can delete everything with a file manager. Someone nor knowledgeable should help you out with that. Btw, if u wanna see this phone fly, run Hellfire Phoenix

Honestly probably not; and I think it's a gimmick at the moment. A phone entirely controlled by gestures? Sounds great in theory, but not great in practice

I guess I'll find out soon enough on my nexus 7.

one word: BB10, blackbery's new os is entirely gesture drive
but we don't have enough devs for a port of something like this, its massive... I truly believe that unless a device with similar chip set/CPU gets it we likely won't. Don't get me wrong our devs are great, just few

Would be nice, as would Firefox OS but i'm more hot for Ubuntu for Android as that would finally rid me of having a technically unnecessary pc

I use a gesture based OS on my blackberry playbook daily. It is incredibly smooth when done correctly. If Ubuntu does it correctly, then I wouldn't mind having it ported. If it's done badly, then it just wouldn't be worth it.

Working on porting it now actually if git servers ever decide to sync.

I hope it's easy to do. I love android but I've always wanted to try a different operating system. Not gonna make it permanent but it'd be cool to use sometimes. Anyone know if you can back it up with recovery and restore it later? I'll ask over in the nexus 7 forums as well.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

You can if you make a flashable zip. Installing via bootstrapper deletes everything iirc.

Cannocal has already made a flashable zip for the nexus devices. You have to fastboot flash a .img file.
