Me too, for android market compatibility issue since I've changed ro.build.name and ro.build.model in build.prof file to the original names with the initial belief that it would pass the compatibility check. It didn't since android market picked up the info from somewhere else like kernel version (I presume and hope).

[Q] App not available on revolver ROM

Hey,
There is a strange effect with revolver rom.
I flashed revolver rom to my TF101G and tried to reinstall all my apps, including the bought app weather pro HD.
But I can not install the app, because the android market doesnt show it anywhere.
If i search manually via the browser I can find it, but if i want to install, the market says, that the app does not support the device.
How can this be? The app worked fine on revolution hd and original firmware.
Thanks for your help.

This is a common problem. It's often caused by differences in the build.prop of your new ROM. Try manipulating your current build.prop to make the model identifaction identical to that of your last ROM. The forum has a plethora of how tos to do that.
This problem often occurs with the T101G model, as quite a few apps only list the T101 as compatible but they miss the T101G, as they consider it a niche model. So simply switching your build.prop entry (not the whole file though!!) to the one of the T101 should fix this kind of problems!
edit: see this app to change build.prop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479703

Thanks modmatt for your response. Now I can switch completly to revolver rom.
Very nice Forum here with many competent people.

Ok, so, it took a while to get it run, and I think I should tell you what i did.
Revolver Rom sets the build version to 8.6.5.21 and the pad location to US.
This is a Promlem for EU versions, because of there some apps not available in some regions/ on some hardware.
First, i suggest to use a normal text editor instead of using the build.prop tool. The tool is nice, but you dont get an overview of the complete file und you cant outcomment lines, so i use the es fileexplorer and its integrated ez text editor.
1. Go to /system and open the file build.prop
2. Change the following items by outcommenting the old lines and write the new lines under.
Code:
#ro.wifi.country=US
ro.wifi.country=GB
# ro.build.fingerprint=asus/US_epad/EeePad:3.2.1/HTK75/US_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216:user/release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=asus/WW_epad/EeePad:3.2.1/HTK75/WW_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202:user/release-keys
# ro.build.description=US_epad-user 3.2.1 HTK75 US_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216 release-keys
ro.build.description=WW_epad-user 3.2.1 HTK75 WW_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202 release-keys
#ro.build.host=Mercury
ro.build.host=Mars
#ro.build.display.id=HTK75.revolver-3.11.1_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
ro.build.display.id=HTK75.revolver-3.11.1_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202
#ro.build.date=Fri Dec 16 13:21:01 CST 2011
ro.build.date=Sat Dec 3 00:50:25 CST 2011
#ro.build.date.utc=1324012861
ro.build.date.utc=1322844625
#ro.build.version.incremental=US_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
ro.build.version.incremental=WW_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202
Do not touch the other line.
3. I don't know if you only need to restart or reboot to recovery and wipe the cache. I've wiped the cache (attention, only the cache wipe, not a full wipe)
4. After reboot the market should show you all the apps, you get with the original stock image

Hi,
nice follow-up!
Just remembered, that if your problem is merely based on the region, rather than on the model, you could always go with the App "Market Enabler", that allows changing region on the fly.
Cheers, modmatt

Thanks matt, but in this case it wasnt a problem of region only. Because i tried to set replace the US with the WW only, without any luck. It worked not untill i changed the buildversions etc.
Would like to know if the App Weather pro HD is only available on TF101G. Because that seems to be if i look to the solution of problem. Is there anyone could try this out?

For me it's available on T101 with Revolver. Device was bought in Germany and I never manually edited the build.prop in any way. So it might depend on your provider for your 3G card.

really? I bought my tab also in germany. Dont think, its a problem of the provider. I think its more the difference between tf101g and the version number of the firmware, because usually there couldnt exist a tf101g with a firmware version of a tf101.

Hey thanks for your interest in this nice phone and in my thread!
Sorry for late reply but yesterday I managed to install Google Play with a tutorial from this site too but for Kindle Fire.
I used Root Explorer and have done as you say too and it works flawlessly ^^.
The problem is that I don't know how to install a recovery.
I hope more people have this nice phone and we are able to share as much info as we can, I really like it. My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy Spica and I am tired of it because it's crap >_<.
Thank you so much for you effort!
P.S: btw, I would want to know whether there are different versions of GoogleFramework or Vending, because I don't know if they have to be the same for it to work. I mean, with the actual Google Framework and Vending I can still continue updating Google Play app or it will crash since I have to update to the same version the other two?

Hey I have a question about your procedure: what's the use of ETC, FRAMEWORK and LIB folders?, I just moved all the apk and fixed permissions and everything works fine. I could even install Google Maps and use it without problems and I can see inside FRAMEWORK folder there's something related with Google Maps so in the PERMISSIONS folder.
Just installing the apk's will give me any problem in the future?
Thanks for your effort!

Ohhh, I'm so sorry.
Can't you put the phone into Download Mode by pressing volume+ power buton?
I wonder how to do a firmware backup so you can restore the phone with it using Odin and return it to life. I would be good in case we do further unsuccessful moves T_T. It's a pity I'm not an android developer or pro and I can't help you as much as I would want, sorry.

This incident wouldn't have happened if i had a backup and restore function in recovery!! I have found a chinese website with the changhong z-me firmware but i cant download because I'm a newbie apparently i have to 52 prestiege to download?! I think the firmware is a .nb0 as in the recovery there is a option for "download nb0 from sd card". I have found a website on how port CWM. http://www.acsyndicate.net/how-to-porting-cwm-to-other-devices-os-x-part1/

Good news is i got a z-me firmware but when i flash PID doesnt match or something. Dude can you plz do me a favour. If u can check for update for ur phone and then share it on this thread! So i can recover my phone.

Dude can u plz provide me ur phones build.prop (it hasnt got anything personal (just incase your wondering )) i just need to check something as i cant access my phone.
Thanks

Hello, sorry for late reply!.
Well, I don't know how to check PID, the info I cal tell you is:
Baseband Version: PCR
Kernel Version: Apps_2.6.32.9-perf
Build Number: 7001_3_180
I don't know whether that info is useful to you, but that's what it says in the "about phone" section, among other trivial things.
And as for the update you say, there's a "check for updates" option inside the phone, but it always says there's no update avaliable.
I will try to find some info about the phone in some chinese sites.
About the build.prop thing you say, I paste you the text:

P.S: By the way, I have noticed that the WIFI module makes my phone very hot and my girlfriend's one too. The worst thing is that when I active the wifi the battery only lasts 6-8 hours and that's not normal. Maybe some issue with drivers? I have seen the module is WCN1314 but the drivers are WCN1312 I have seen somewhere, is that normal?

Hey! good news.
I found a site which seems huge about phone official and custom ROMS from china (http://www.shendu.com/), but Changhong Z-Me isn't listed. I think it's a matter of time it will appear in there I think. I just have tested the phone with antutu test 2.9.4 (gave me 3010) and there are more Changhong's Z-Me, but some have ICS 4.0.3!.
I hope we can get ICS or Jelly Bean for this nice phone, ar at least some custom Gingerbread roms ^^
EDIT1: I have also found a person explaining how to recover the mobile or something like that (it is translated with google sorry). Check this out, and let's hope it can solve the problem:
http://bbs.ahong.com/viewthread.jsp?tid=686&extra=page203D1

Yes hopefully we do!!! The thing is MSM 7227A gets ICS and the MSM 8255 doesnt eventhough its better?! Hopefully i can recover my phone! I think the recovery is in beta mode as somethings don't work.

I would say just the CPU isn't enough because if so we would be able to put even Jelly Bean, because MSM8255 CPU is so spreadly used. I wish I could be an Android programmer >_<.

Hey, I've got a new problem about the phone. It isn't that important, but it gives on my nerves: the phone deletes any contact I edit. After pressing "done" button it deletes the contact and a pup up message tells me that "the contact does not exist".
I don't want to install another phone book because I like this one, simple and fast, and it does not eat much RAM, aspect which I consider very important.
A thing would be to replace this phone and address book with the Gingerbread stock ones, but I've been reading that it could make a crash loop in the phone.
Have you repaired yours already?
Let's keep in touch!

Maybe I'll look in to this problem! No i haven't repaired my phone yet as I'm busy with my studies so hopefully I will be able to get it up and running again soon! Hopefully someone will be able to get CWM/TWRP recovery up and running on this device!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I've helped you plz hit the Thanks button and show some appreciation!!

It's someway nice, I managed to repair the problem I was having with the missing edited contacts. Now the phone edits and saves them with no problems ^^. In case you have this problem in the future, I explain what I did:
1 - Backup all contacts to your Gmail, vcard or csv file.
2 - Turn sync contacts off (all accounts) and delete all contacts in your phone.
3 - Go to all applications and look for one called "Contacts Storage".
4 - Do a "Clear Data" and turn on Sync Contacts again, or whether you prefer import them all from the vcard file.
*If you use SIM contacts I don't know whether the program would delete them as it does with the ones stored in the phone, I didn't tested it.
Greetings.

My phone is alive
my phone is alive!!! But before it was 2.3.7 with the wo 3g logo on boot now it is official changhong z-me 2.3.7. But as long as i got it working doesn't matter!!

Hey!, sorry for the late reply.
I'm really happy you could fix it. I've been out from PC because of studies and family, but now I have some spare days jeje.
I have to say I also updated my changhong with the original firmware and the logo is as you say, and it swept out almost every annoying chinese app LOL.
I installed again the google fix and everything is working flawlessly.
P.S: btw, the google fix you uploaded lacks Google Calendar. IT does not matter, because I just installed Calendar and it works fine, no problems so far. Thanks again.
P.S 2: I noticed you added a link for the recovery file. I found another recovery file which seems to be different to the one you found (different size). I found in the official changhong forum (here's the link: http://bbs.ahong.com/viewthread.jsp?tid=1933&extra=page=2 ). Should it be other CWM version?, I still didn't try it, that why I ask, maybe you did .

[CM12/12.1-UPDATED] S4 Display Color Profiles for CyanogenMod 11, 12, 12.1

### CM12(.1) UPDATE ### (see bottom)
Hey Folks,
are you also tired of the oversaturated colors of the S4 amoled display??
I found out that the S4minisettings.apk, that was originally developed for the S4 Mini by @F4k to regulate the saturation and other colour concerning features, does the job for the S4 aswell! It works very similar to the colour profiles built into samsung stock roms.
After installation you can find a new settings option "advanced settings" in systemsettings/display just like they're are built in into the carbon roms.
Installation:
Download the apk from the link below.
Then you have to manually put the s4minisettings.apk to /system/app and after that it's very important to set ownership and permissions as follows:
Owner: root, root
Permissions: rw,r,r (644)
reboot!
The main option to reduce the saturation is called "Mode - Set the mDNIe mode". I choose "natural" and the oversaturation of the display is gone!
Some other options don't apply until you switch screen off an on once.
___________________________________________________
The apk can be downloaded here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2443961&d=1386605141
original thread here (search for F4K's post):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558702&page=11
you may also want to have a look at s4miniarchive who did a good article/video about it:
http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/01/enable-color-saturation-galaxy-s4-mini-cyanogenmod11.html
all thanks go to @F4k for creating this nice apk!
###CM12(.1)-Instructions###
So, f4k made a new lollipop version of this tool S4MiniSettings and built it into his S4 Mini cm12 rom. I extracted it and offer it to you for download.
Instructions:
- extract zip
- copy the folder "S4Minisettings" to /system/app folder
- set permissions of the folder to rwxr-xr-x (755), the apk to rw-r--r-- (644)
- reboot
- after reboot there is a new icon in the app drawer
- if you prefered the setting "natural" from the kitkat version, now choose "movie"
Notes:
- Important: SELinux level higher than "strikt"/"enforcing" is needed to write to system folder and/or set permissions, and the apk to be loaded at boot. Custom kernels like Alucard mostly got SELinux set to "moderat".
- Don't be confused about the app name - it does work with the S4 - definitely!

Doesn't S4 4.4.2 have this by default? I can do same changes through my Display settings - no need for additional apk.

I use kernel perseus to better experience with real colors.

The "S4" has this by default in the Touchwiz ROM it ships with, but this thread is about CyanogenMod.
Speaking of which, it possible to adjust color cast in CM11 on my Note 8.0 under Display/Display Advanced. Maybe this feature will also come to CM11 on the i9500.

Did you set the permissions and owner correctly? Otherwise it can't work.

the permissions are exactly like you have it, but still its not working. It doesnt scan my apps when I reboot :/. Also worth noting, every time i go to see the permissions or change it it says in a square. "The current file system is read-only. Do you want to remount as read-write and continue the operation?" I click yes, then i change it rw--r--r and reboot and nothing happends. When I go check it againg is the same prosses all over againg.
Edit: Also, in my settings I have Display & lights instead of "Display" as the video shows. I know nothing and I understand this may be a dumb question, but it may had to do with the problem? sorry.

Which file manager do you use? "root explorer" i.e. has sometimes problems and sais it's write protected. I use "root browser" which does a good job, mostly.

I really don't understand :/... It is just not detecting it... maybe an option I have enable? I hate these saturated colors... :/ maybe it is only on nightlies?

Another options

Hey Folks,
are you also tired of the oversaturated colours of the S4 amoled display??
I found out that the S4minisettings.apk, that was originally developed for the S4 Mini by F4K to regulate the saturation and other colour concerning features, does the job for the S4 aswell! It works very similar to the colour profiles built into samsung stock roms.
....
The apk can be downloaded here:

....
all thanks go to F4K for creating this nice apk!

This apk requires way too many permissions for the task it performs... Suspicious...
There is another option: KTweaker tool which comes with Ktoonsez kernels also allows to modify this setting (works with CM11 kernel, not only with Ktoonsez) .
After all this setting can be set via kernel "/sys" filesystem. From terminal emulator execute command:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/mode
To make this change permanent (survive reboots and ROM updates) one may use init.d supplied with CM11, and create additional script in /data/local/ (in this location script will survive CM update).
Seems like init.d in CM11-M10 doesn't start scripts in /data/local/userinit.d/ directory, so the only option is to place script code to /data/local/userinit.sh
Permissions of this script must be set to 0755 (-rwxr-xr-x).
For anyone who interested in adopting this method I've prepared template script (also it sets some other available screen options, not only mode):
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# For SGS4 screen mode can be chosen from:
# 0 - STANDARD
# 1 - DYNAMIC
# 2 - MOVIE
# 3 - NATURAL
echo 3 > /sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/mode
# For SGS4 screen scenario can be chosen from:
# 0 - UI_MODE
# 1 - VIDEO_MODE
# 2 - VIDEO_WARM_MODE
# 3 - VIDEO_COLD_MODE
# 4 - CAMERA_MODE
# 5 - NAVI
# 6 - GALLERY_MODE
# 7 - VT_MODE
# 8 - BROWSER
# 9 - eBOOK
echo 0 > /sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/scenario
# Other parameters are boolean: 0 - Disabled, 1 - Enabled
echo 0 > /sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/negative
echo 0 > /sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/outdoor
Additionally I've prepared TWRP (CWM should work also, but I've not tested) installable version of this script (see attachment).
In that case if you dislike my default setting you'll need to unpack it, edit "data/local/userinit.sh" and pack it back using zip.
PS
This MAY work with other Samsung AMOLED devices. I can confirm that it works with galaxy tab 7.7 (p6800).

It's not suspicious in any way! The developer f4k who wrote this little apk is a very honorable guy, just have a look at his profile and all of the work he does...
This apk does the job perfectly and doesn't do any harm to nothing.
Your remark/comment is very unnessessary here. So why don't you go start a thread your own instead of lousing this one up?

I'm not trying to blame anyone in anything.
I'm not a pro in android programming and maybe such permissions are implied to all apk's that manage system settings.
However I can't see any reason for app that manages screen settings to require permissions to make calls, access user contacts etc. and it seems suspicious to me. That's all.

When I was searching how to setup screen settings in CM11 on SGS4 I've found only this thread. And when I've managed to solve this problem with alternative method I've decided that other users maybe interested in this information. I've posted to Your thread because I thought that it is a good idea to post all possible solutions for 'S4 amoled display colour profiles with cyanogenmod 11' in one thread to help other people find them quickly and in one place.
Sorry if I was wrong and violated something.

Mostly when there are high ranking permissions for an app requested, it isn't because of maliciousness of the author, it's often just carelessness of the creator not deactivating them in the building tool's presets he uses.
And after all, just don't be so mistrustful about things coming from senior xda developers......
This method I announced here is very simple to install, safe and works perfectly even with the latest nightlies so far.

Google is your friend. Let me google that for you. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+change+build+number
However, you need to be rooted and modify build.prop. BE CAREFUL, you may damage your installation. Check these threads:
