Is there some way that i can edit the version number and other options like android version, rom.name etc. in the about phone menu, in a custom rom?
I was actually tryin to edit the android version in my FroyoPro ROM to 4.0.4..jst faking...
But i am curious. Is there really a way?

Hello !!!!
Hello,
you must edit the build.prop.
i never do it myself but see this thread
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/edit-your-build-prop-the-easy-way-with-buildprop-editor/
good luck
see this link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nathan.jf.build.prop.editor&feature=search_result
you can also use esfile explorer with root permissions. just open it with the note editor.
had no idea someone made an app specifically to do the build.prop edits... handy...
But when I edit the build.prop in FroyoPro and do a reboot, the name persists.
But the same worked for AtiFroyo5.2. I could easily convert the version name form Andoid 2.2.1 to 4.0.4
Any idea?

The Netflix app has been released onto the Android Market. However, it is limited to a few devices and the X10 isn't one of them.
BUT...I downloaded the apk from the site below to test it out and voila! Working NETFLIX!

How to trick Netflix into thinking your device is supported (Only do this if the Netflix app says that your device is not supported, otherwise it is not necessary.) :
1. Open any Root file explorer and navigate to /system
2. Edit your build.prop file and modify the following lines:
ro.product.model=""
You may input any one of the supported devices, i.e, the HTC G2: ro.product.model=HTC Vision
Note: This does require that your device is rooted and running 2.2 Froyo or above.
3. Reboot your phone
4. Download the .apk (If you're running jerpelea's CM7 ROM, then it should be directly available from the Android Marketplace. )
Works for me! Using Wolbreak's 6.1.3 v6

If you're running GB the link will come up directly in the market.
For those of us who are having issues. I found this link to the updated app in another thread.
http://dc341.4shared.com/download/_lpe355u/Netflix_121_build_843839-120-3.apk
Works fine on Wolf's 8.1 ROM (bb 55).
I'm almost afraid to update the app, it works great.
HS this is awesome..!!
Using market version, but says my device must be updated , WB V5, tried already the HTC Vision fix, but didn't work.
The error is displayed when trying to instant watch.

On root explorer long press on the build.prop, and a pop up menu will pop up.
choose the option open in text editor.
after you find the line and edit it press the menu key and choose save and exit.
Netflix should work on all Androids now with 2.2+. I've installed it on both Wolf's latest and the TEAM rom as well.
I just downloaded the application and it works fine ... although I can't update. Not available for my country.... in Android Market.
I'm using 2.3.3 stock rom
For me it says its not Available in my Country. Any other Canadians having this issue. It's works perfectly fine, I just have to keep finding the updated APK from other sources.
Hi,
I purchased a new tablet for my son to play games on, and when I visit market, few games say: "This software is not compatible with your device"
It says RDR at the back and I think it could be this device: https://www.rdr.mx/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=10 , though I am not sure if its 7 or 7.1
So is there any way to change the device signature, or an alternate way to download games from market and install in the device.
The device runs on Android 2.3 and I have already rooted the device.
Thanks,

Well, my first guess would be to get a "cracked" apk of the game, but that's not something I would strongly support. The other alternative is editing the build.prop located in the system/ directory. That's where ur device's "identity" is stored. You will need to figure out what device is compatible to the game u are trying to run and edit the build.prop to reflect that.

i have an app installed (from apk file, not google play).
recently i got an updated version of the application (another apk file).
is there ANY way of installing the new version next to old one without overwritting it?
i need to use both versions at the same time.
Why use 2 versions? If its the same app, it will do the same thing as the old one.

Hi,
Backup it with titaniumbackup first, then install new version.
If updated app is not working, just restore the old one.

Thats an answer to a totally different question.

OP i would try renaming the apk .
jje
the files have different name.
Probably they have the same signature or ID or whatever identifies it in Google Play.
Is there any way of changing the parameter identifying the app?

So, I got as far as..... decompiling the app
I am not completely across with programming but I have no clue what I should do next Well... I've never played in programming for android and haven't played in modding or any stuff like that.
SO, Can you guide me what I should do next?
What is activity folder name and where is it stored?
Which entries in smali files are activity paths?
I'll understand if you won't help anymore as it may be too much to go through... honestly, no worries...
This is a link to the app

Any help is appreciated...

I'm trying to do the same thing. With real racing 3. I have an older version that I like a lot for its particular features, plus the latest Ferrari updated version.
I want to have both on my phone. Any way? Also, they have the same exact com.r3 folders, can the modified apk use different data folders?

Hi guys I have yet another crazy issue I am faced with
My Samsung galaxy tab p3110 model has just got the black screen of death after having replaced build.Prop file however I did create a backup of the build. Prop file only its inside the root folder of the tablet at stake. I only seem to have access to Odin mode and I need a way of moving the original built.Prop file back in its place. Does anyone here have any ideas of how I may go about doing this without risking screwing up my tablet further.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi there
I have seen many posts where people are having trouble installing games from Google play. Xperia is a beast in terms of performance and it can run any game smoothly, thanks to its Adreno 305.
Here is the solution for those who are ready to make all applications COMPATIBLE with your device.
You will need :
ROOT
ES FILE EXPLORER
COMMON SENSE
You may use build.prop Editor from Google play but it didnot help me much so I changed it manually using File Explorer.
Instructions:
After giving root rights to your Explorer, go to device/system/build.prop
Open it using ES Note Editor (Comes with ES file Explorer).
Find ro.product.device
Change ro.product.device from C2105/4 to C6603. Save your file
Go to settings\all and open Google Play.
Clear google play cache .
Restart your phone!
You may change your ro.device.product by build.prop editor but it didnot help much in my case!
DO NOT CHANGE OR ADD EVEN A COMMA IN YOUR BUILD.PROP except as mentioned or you will be bootlooped
Good Luck! Just backup your data to be safe!
You may simply replace your build.prop with the one I have attached. I have c2105 with 4.2.2.
Attached file is in zip so please extract it first and then replace it !
Do everything on your own risk!
I can now install all Gameloft games
"Xperia L" works too.

Cheers for your contribution mate. May I add that, your device name isnot changed in settings at all even when you change it to C6603.
I did the usual process that is done when your phone isnot compatible with certain applications. Change your device name to the latest device in range.
However, after your post, I am to believe that Xperia L is supported by developers as 'Xperia L' , 'C2104' but not C2105. There are also differences due to regional firmware as Indian firmware users have reported apps to be incompatible while many blokes from America have quoted that all applications are COMPATIBLE without any changes to their build.prop which other users had problems with. What strange is both have same model name 'c2104'. Till now it is still not certain what is causing incompatibly issues.
I guess there is some diversion and I am sure there are always many ways to do a certain job!

Maybe it's come from ro.product.device=
How you see I change it to taoshan. Will revert the ro.product.name to stock and report back.
Edit1- Revert to ro.product.name= C2105_1272-2770 and still work.
So its work with only changing the ro.product.device=taoshan.
If I'm not wrong there is no matter of the name if the ro.product.device is the real codename(taoshan).
Can someone test this too?
Edit 2- Found that:
ro.semc.product.name=Xperia L
ro.semc.product.device=C2105
Seems that Sony write it correct but play store read the values from ro.product.* ( without "semc")

Using this method also will give an error in flashtool because the it cannot determined what phone you're using..
you must restore back to default both name and device
