...some progress!

...less sleep but some progress. :-)

...after several unsuccessful attempts I finally got the NOOK to restore to factory specs with the "8 interrupted boot" sequence [can't post the URL because I don't have eight posts yet :-( ].

Wasn't necessary to do the second step described in the post...NOOK automatically did the restore after zeroing the data and my B&N account can be accessed without more.

...but now I no longer have Android capability. Is there any way to install a simple toggle mechanism for both on the same tablet?

I'm trying to download a game that Android Market says is incompatible with my device. However, I'll be upgrading later and don't want to miss this sale.

Is there a way to edit a file (I'm guessing the build.prop) to fake another device so that Android Market lets me download the app?
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
change the build.prop look for the line that says 240 dpi. change it to 160 for tabs

need to clear market data via settings > applications > manage applications
[Droid Incredible General] itch808:
Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I tried all sorts of things. Emulating a Nexus S, GT-I9000, HTC vision, none worked. :(
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You need to find the ro.build.fingerprint for a device the app is available for and then switch it out for thr one in your /system/build.prop file. You will also need to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, and clear the market apps data thru the settings-applications menu.
[Droid Incredible General] itch808:
Any tips what I should add?

I'm trying to purchase Asphalt 6 HD from the 10 million for 10 days sale
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Well i checked out the app thru the market to see if any comments stated a working phone model and noticed the reviews are pretty bad, and a lot of people claming it is not working for their newer phones. Im not familiar with the game. Your best bet would be to contact the developer and ask them what newer phones you may upgrade to are supported. Then google "ro.build.prop 'phone model'" and try to find the full fingerprint. Once you find it, replace the one in your build.prop and then try to buy it.
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
Lol yeah my way is only for simulation of tab vs phone. No clue on a whole foot print change. :(

Sent from my sexy assistant. (AMOLED HTC Incredible)
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
This is the fingerprint for the desire hd a supposed compatiabl phone for the game.

ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_bravo/bravo:2.3.3/GRI40/96875.1:user/release-keys
[Droid Incredible General] itch808:
Tried, didn't work.

I then even tried adding these changes:

ro.product.model=Desire HD

ro.product.brand=htc_wwe

ro.product.name=htc_ace

ro.product.device=bravo

ro.product.board=bravo

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

ro.build.product=bravo

Rebooted, cleared cache. Still no go.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Did you clear the data from the market? Menu - settings - applications- all tab select market and press force stop and then clear data.
[Droid Incredible General] itch808:
I should've have clarified, when I said "cleared cache", yes I went into applications and cleared all data.

I give up. I guess it can't be done.
[Droid Incredible General] phaze one:
Check my thread I created for this kind of issue.

[HOW TO] Play games requiring NVIDIA tegra. ShadowGun, Sprinkle, etc..

You might just need chainfire but read thru the whole thread regardless. Chainfire fixes market settings allowing you to see, purchase, and install the games. You might require the drivers as well. Its all outlined in my thread. Hope that helps. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible General] RamAir02:
I'm not sure how much help this provides, but it works for me.

I've previously had a Droid X and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 associated with my google account. This allows me to download any app that will work on the Inc, Droid X, or Galaxy Tab. My solution is to navigate to market.android.com and choose the app I want. When I click buy, it asks me what device I want to send it to. If the Incredible is not compatible, chances are one of my other devices are. I can then continue the purchase for a device I don't even own anymore, but now I own the app. I've provided a screenshot to illustrate.

I've been using this method today for all the 10 cent apps available. Now I own them and will be able to download them once I get my Galaxy Nexus and Transformer Prime.
[Droid Incredible General] Janzomaster:
Hi,

although on a different deivce, I got the same issue - so I just "hijack" this thread ;)

I changed the build.prop, wipe cache, dalvik cache, Android Market cache & data, Google Services Framework cache & data.

Now I do get another phone, the SGS2 I was going for (GT-I9100), but I still can't install anything more than before, with my HTC Hero.

I can't use Chainfire, as it's not compatible with my device :D

Here ist what I changed in the build.prop:

ro.product.model=GT-I9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-I9100
ro.product.device=galaxys2
ro.product.board=GT-I9100
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.product=galaxys2
ro.build.description=GT-I9100-user 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD XXKG2 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-I9100/GT-I9100:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/XXKG2:user/release-keys
[Droid Incredible General] demarcmj:
If we had Galaxy Tabs then we wouldn't have this problem.

The problem is that we don't have a compatible device, but want to buy it anyway in case we (a) some day get a tablet, or (b) the developer fixes the apparently crappy compatibility.

I'm also having the same problem with one of today's freebies, NFL Rivals
[Droid Incredible General] mercado79:
i'm drawing at straws here, but... anyone try market enabler?

https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&hl=en
[Droid Incredible General] Janzomaster:
This only fakes the network you're on, allowing you to get apps that are normally only available in certain countries or on certain carriers. Not the device though...
[Droid Incredible General] douger1957:
Do you have your dpi setting in build.prop something other than stock?
[Droid Incredible General] d-lite:
I have been stuck like this a few times when changing device.

To change from HTD Desire to HTC Desire HD:

edit build.prop (copy old first):

change all occurences of bravo to ace

change HTC Desire to HTC Desire HD

change fingerprint to ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys

save build.prop

goto settings,applications find market. stop it, clear all data

clean dalvik cache just to make sure

reboot phone

that worked for me..
[Droid Incredible General] alejo443:
Thanks man :D !!! worked like a charm!!! I'm in the same situation, planning to upgrade the phone on January, but I don't want to miss the $.10 promotions. Now I bought BackStab HD using my Nexus One (was recognized as HTC Desire HD). I lost the opportunity to buy Asphalt 6, but well.... another opportunity
[Droid Incredible General] mercado79:
In case anyone is interested...
[Droid Incredible General] Janzomaster:
Thanks!

But it just won't work... Which Market-Version are you guys using?
[Droid Incredible General] jcsy:
question is , will it work on other devices by editing the build.prop?
[Droid Incredible General] alejo443:
Yes. My case: Nexus One with CM 7.1, not compatible with any Gameloft HD game.

My build.prop (this config is working right now):

ro.product.model=Desire HD
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
ro.product.name=htc_ace
ro.product.device=ace
ro.product.board=ace
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.wifi.channels=
ro.board.platform=qsd8k
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=ace
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=2.36.405.8 CL47853 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys
# end build properties

I know, my ro.build.description is inconsistent with the fingerprint version, but, it's working!

Following the d-lite's instructions, update the build.prop, reboot to recovery an wipe cache, clean android market data (Manage applications -> Force stop -> Clean data), start again the market, and voila! the apps are available.

Now waiting to upgrade my phone to play those games.
[Droid Incredible General] Nil Einne:
I managed to get my LG P500 to appear as both a Samsung GT-P7500 and GT-I9100 (as specified in this thread). So far it hasn't helped. None of the games that are currently unavailable to me became available. This includes 'BackStab HD', 'SimCity™ Deluxe', 'Captain America', 'Jenga' and 'Block Breaker 3 Unlimited HD'.

I don't know for sure these games are supposed to work with the Samsung GT-P7500 or I9100 but these are fairly high end devices and one's a tablet so I'm surprised none of them do. I'm guessing I need to do something else.

For those still having problems, I'm using Market 3.3.11. I only replace build.prop then restart phone then close and clear cache (Edit:meant data which of course clears cache too) for Market. Nothing else like Dalvik cache etc. After I start the market in my phone, it takes a while for my new phone type to show up in the web market, perhaps 20 minutes or more. I don't seem to have to download anything but obviously do agree to licence agreement and I do usually click on stuff. (Since I haven't yet made any apps available that weren't available before, I haven't seen if it shows in the in phone marketplace instantly.)

Remember you have to refresh before it will shot up your 'new' device. If you are an existing page, it still show the old device until you refresh. Even if you refreshed in another page, it will still show the old device in old pages. This includes when it isn't actually clearly showing the device like if you are in the 10 billion download promo page. Best thing to do is to load market.android.com fresh.

Anyway I guess I may have to fool around with other settings in build.prop. One thing is I'm still working out what settings are safe, e.g. can I chance CPU type.

Of course it's already too late for Sim City etc, but oh well....
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
The only thing the market reads is the ro build. Go to manage applications and force stop the market, and clear its cache. Then go to /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_preferences.xml and open it with a text editor. At the top you will see "last build fingerprint" change that to a phone that is compatible with the games you want. Also change it in the /system/build.prop. After that reboot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik-cache and reboot. It works for me every time.
[Droid Incredible General] Nil Einne:
(EC) With the alejo443 settings (Edit:forgot to mention I excluded platform and region) I got all the games I mentioned I was missing, except Sim City, guess compatibility for that is very poor, while it's too late now I'll look around and see just for future use. Also the games become instantly available when I restart Market after I do what I mentioned previously. In the web market, my phone is still showing up as a Samsung (as said it's slow to update).
[Droid Incredible General] alejo443:
btw, with Sim City was funny... on the promotion page, the app appears not compatible (before the build.prop modification), on the phone market didn't appear too, but, looking for the app details page on the market app (using a qr code), the Purchase button was enabled, so, I was able to buy it without do anything special (it doesn't apply to Gameloft games, no idea why).

Hoping that Google give us a 'Last chance day' (like Steam with christmas promotions) :s

So you think your helping everyone. But in reality everyone that is even on here is is pretty profient with computers. So please stop luding the forms with brane less nonsense.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
I dont know who that was aimed at but its rude and makes YOU sound brainless. And what does being proficient with computers have to do with andriod? Also i dont see recognized dev in your profile so who are you to judge?
[Droid Incredible General] Nil Einne:
I haven't bothered to read the other replies since I'm a bit tired after having done a lot of confusing testing, and I'll do a more detailed write up later. But I'll post this because of the time sensitivty for anyone still trying to get Block Breaker 3 HD.

I've found it can be rather complicated to get apps to become compatible in the eyes of the marketplace, at least with my LG P500.

For starters, the ARMv6 prevents quite a few games from being compatible. If you have an ARMv6 device meaning there's no armeabi-v7a anywhere in you're build.prop, try modifying it with this:

(I reversed the order which still seems to work, I don't know if it makes a difference but it's possible it's slightly safer if it means apps first try armeabi and only try armeabi-v7a if they need it.)

I'm not sure if it's necessary (testing still ongoing) but you can try using the HTC fingerprint in the build.prop.

However it's more complicated then that, for example I found when trying with stuff from the build.prop that the Motorola Milestone 2 fingerprint (along with the abi) also works but if I include too much of the details from the Milestone (well the version I was trying anyway) Gameloft games like BB3HD are no longer considered compatible.

Captain America is even stranger when it's compatible and when it isn't, but since it's not on sale anymore I'll wait until I've finished testing before I say more. And I still haven't convinced the market to let me have Sim City Deluxe. (Jenga seems to be mostly about the ABI.)

P.S. As always, any modifications are are your own risk. I'm guessing you may break some apps if they try to use the v7 ABI so I don't recommend you keep your build.prop like that for long. Also I don't think it's likely the apps will updated to support ARMv6 phones so I only recommend this if you are planning to upgrade or something of that sort.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fpopic:
Guide from tiad forum:

- You must have Hard spl 1.93

-Download :DIAM100.nbh , recovery.img

-flash nbh "usb flash" with DiamonCustomRUU and then pull battery.

-connect your usb then turn on device.wait for fastboot to be enable. you need the latest from myitx V2 for diam100 and 300

-flash recovery,code,fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

-boot into recovery,code,fastboot boot recovery.img

Any screenshot?

Thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fpopic:
i am waiting that too cause i dont have much time for testing it and then putting WinMo6.5 back (cause i have only diamond). if i put that nbh i will lose all my settings and programs installed on winmo, will i loose internal storage of neofroyo on haret ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martin_1990:
Yep, With a nand Android rom you will loose all your data and setting (not the internal storage only the nand memory). To install Neofroyo properly, the internal storage needs special formats. So you need to put the data and settings after install of neofroyo back on the internal storage.

But I prefer Nand flash because its faster and more stable. If there is a stable and fully working rom of course :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fpopic:
no i know how to install neofroyo :) but if i istall nbh (as on kaiser i had before) and test it and then install back winmo titanium rom will ext2 (for neopeek's neofroyo) partitions will be saved or formated while flashing rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gonzoMD:
hope this will be done soon, because FRX07.1 is very mature, but the speed and batery life is very poor, so hopefully this will be better with NAND Flash.

If someone has more info about current status and maybe an eta I would be glad.

I didn't think that this will ever be possible :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martin_1990:
All data and partitions on the internal storage will be saved. Only the Nand memory will be formatted.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fpopic:
and android from haret don't use anything from NAND ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] martin_1990:
If android is running/starting from the internal storage, then it isn't using any NAND memory (like neofroyo). That's one of the reasons why it's so slow and most of the time unstable.
