Help Tricking the Market - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've looked and looked and looked and I can't find exactly what I want.
I know there is a way to trick the Android Market into allowing you to download apps that are not technically supported on our device because it's too new or it's not tegra2 or the developers are lazy.
I am having a helluva time finding out how to do this. I've read that changing the lcd density will do it but it did not. I read chainfire 3d has a market fix but only the free version is compatible with our phones, not the paid version? can't buy it ?!?!?!?!
any way I can fool the market into thinking I have a phone that is compatible?
Thanks in advance.

Figured it out.

Use Es file explorer and first copy build prop to ur sd card. Than edit build prop and change ur device name to SGS2 or something else!!!!!!!

Sure. Changing the device name in build.prop doesn't work.
I figured out that anything other than stock LCD density will break compatibility with market.
Buy chain fire 3d from the market.

Yeah fixes most of it still some games don't show up for the skyrocket even with this. Try getting the gameloft or glu nfl football game to show and install you will be out of luck. And there some other once that won't show either. Bummer.

I know. I guess that's a downside to having the letters and greatest. Wonder if all the new devices later this year will have that issue to

i was trying to download the pissing on apple but it gives me a drop box 404 error. does anyone else have the apk file they could post or email to me
how can I write to /system/media without the paid root explorer? I tried it but also got the plain android boot logo....
I'm getting the 404 error as well.
My co worker has this on his G2X, works great & he was able to change the boot up music as well. I plan to change mine boot animation & music as well
Plz put this on a mirror, pretty sure we crashed your dropbox

Xperia Play launcher and apps2sd weird problem?

Ok, so I used adb and moved all my apps to my sd using setinstalllocation, I uninstalled system apps and games, such as fifa and star battalion and reinstalled them and moved them to the sd. This all worked fine and the games run, however, they do not show up in my xperia play launcher. The other games do, but the system ones I moved, sims, fifa and star battalion, no longer show up in the launcher. Any ideas? Kinda ruins the whole point of the launcher! :-(
Thanks guys,
Niall

[App]Absolute System Root Tool

I have'nt seen this posted on here yet,but i just wanted to educate the people that don't know.Heres a sweet tool that i've been using for about a year now,it does a great job changing fonts,boot animations(it gives the option of changing the install directory)process's and alot more.Its the easiest way i've found to change fonts and animations and the apps $1.99,you will have to test it on different roms,there might be a list of compatibe devices,some it wont work on with the boot animations,like CM,but its never bricked my phone,it just wont install if its not compatible.

No not that kind of plus it usually says something like you've won 1000 dollars or something along those lines.

Its an air push advertisement. Check the free app called add on detector from android market as it can tell you what app is responsible.
If you then want to keep the app you can eliminate the ads if rooted using lbe privacy guard to deny it the appropriate permissions.

So this is what the green plus sign looks like and by the way the add-on Detector doesn't really tell me which app is doing it unless I may be overlooking something. Let me know Dave.

In add on detector you need to choose "push notifications" from the selector at top of screen and it will show you apps that can push ads to your phone.
They may also show under the app title with the word "airpush" when selecting "advertising".

I downloaded lookout ad detector and found out the app that was doing out it. Appearently it was a skyrim soundboard that I downloaded a while back, go figure. Anyway needless to say the problem is solved but thanks got your input I really appreciate it.

download UCCW from the store. he can handle that.
then search for nexus skins or UCCW skins and see which one looks like one he wants.
install
add UCCW widget to homescreen.
select the one you downloaded.

This is what he wants. He's super busy and doesn't have the time to look through thirty apps to find it. I'm trying to do him a favor and just pretty much hand it to him on a platter. I know you're trying to be helpful but aside from uccw, there is another stand alone app that has the cLock. That's what I'm looking for
