build.prop and phone model - General Questions and Answers

I am trying to figure out how an app would know which model phone I am running. I am assuming it is reading something in build.props.

main ways to be identified:
ro.product.model=
ro.product.brand=
ro.product.name=
ro.product.device=
ro.product.board=
all from build.prop

Thanks,
That certainly helps!

I'm pretty sure it was still there. When I open it, it starts to load up then it says zumocast is not available for your device. Check www.Motorola.com for updates. Then I click OK and it closes.

I think Its because the build.prop.zumocast is for u.s. roms. Motocast is for international roms.
If you go into build prop and change the build info to that of u.s. you should be fine.
Easiest way would be to copy this and paste it over the same input in your build.prop located in system/
It starts at the top
# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
ro.build.id=5.5.1-175_EDMR1.25
ro.build.display.id=5.5.1-175_EDMR1.25
ro.build.version.incremental=5.51.175.25
ro.build.version.sdk=10
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=2.3.6
ro.build.date=Sat Dec 17 10:25:16 PST 2011
ro.build.date.utc=1324146316
ro.build.type=user
ro.build.user=hkdp76
ro.build.host=ca25rhe91
ro.build.tags=release-keys
ro.product.model=MB865
ro.product.brand=MOTO
ro.product.name=edison_att_us
ro.product.device=edison
ro.product.board=p3
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=motorola
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
^^ends at that line^^
Try this and let me know if it fixes your issue.
Reboot after u save your build prop.then try zumocast

Yup Motocast now works on the Atrix 2 and it is much better than zumocast, you can download it from the market.

[Q] How to actually modify the file hex-address once the particular offset is known?

Hello XDA,
I am trying to figure this our from a week now. I searched everywhere and got no where and thought should finally post about it. If anybody would help me in this. I would appreciate it so much.
This is about modifying the hex. I found the particular hex-address for "coins" in one of the game. Once that hex address is modified, it would change the value of coins in the game. Therefore, I wanted to modify the apk as whole, so when anybody who downloaded and installed that apk for the first time, they could get the modified value since beginning. Hope you are getting me here.
Therefore, for this, I downloaded the apk, extracted the lib.so with winrar and edited with Hex-workshop. Now I am confused. I know the particular hex-address. It is this: 78373e8, but whenever I paste it and search in entire file, I can't find it. But I can only find till: 78373. How shall I know it is the one and how shall I actually modify its value?
Can someone good at this, please solve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, thank you. I had tried that too. I just want to know with these tools, knowing the hex of certain function (like coins) already, how can you actually navigate to that particular (known) hex and modify it.
Hmm.. I hope you are understanding what I am trying to say. I am sorry if I cannot make it clearer enough.

You can change the device name by mod build.prop, add a line as

No problem.. But I can't upload the build.prop because mine won't match yours and mess your phone up so I can't upload that one.
Thank you for the apn, if it's a stock build prop I'd still like it, I'm not loading to a phone, just comparing to one from another Rom, trying to see if something got fat fingered.
