Dude I love you..lol not only did I gain access with the old market, after I rebooted and killed the terminal, I now how access to all of the apps with the updated market..it appears to be to the perfect fix for the market, at least for me anyway. I will keep you posted if anything changes. I know I still have access to all Gameloft and EA games. Bravo sir. The only thing I did differently from you walk through is I didn't system wipe before install the old android market.
[Kindle Fire General] ASMAteMe:
So your MUST have cm7 installed? I am rooted but didn't install that.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
This may work on the stock rom, but I haven't tried it. If it works out for you then I will update the OP.
[Kindle Fire General] FoibleOfHumanity:
Thanks a ton!

This method worked perfectly. I figured that it might have something to do with the build.prop's device fingerprints but I just never had the patience to try it.

I actually just skipped the market part and followed the replacement of the build.prop with a reboot. I still got access to apps I previously weren't able to see before while using the new market app, however Im not sure if its the entire market. I also skipped the wipe of the /system and everything is working fine.
[Kindle Fire General] Poler166:
download?

where can i download the build.prop??
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
it's in the .zip file in the OP

also, due to the responses of skipping clearing the cache through twrp, i have removed it from the OP. and added another little courtesy note below the "not supporting stock" note. ;)
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
Awesome, let me know if it works!
[Kindle Fire General] Poler166:
Crash

whenever i try to get to the market it just crashes ... any suggestion ?

EDIT: never mind it works now :) Your epic :)
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
Try clearing your market data and install the attached market again and let me know if it works.
[Kindle Fire General] Poler166:
Spoke to soon when ever i try to download an app from the market it force closes and said The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly.
[Kindle Fire General] theholyfork:
Could you elaborate how you got access to the full updated market? I tried that, and I can't download anything from it.
[Kindle Fire General] vampyrex13:
Awesome. Gameloft's TinTin game now recognizes my Kindle as a 3D supported device.

[Kindle Fire General] andrew.johnson42:
I just tried this and the only thing that i had to do is copy the build.prop to /system, rename old one to build.prop.bak, set permissions for new one, force stop and clear market data from manage applications, then reboot. Everything shows up and downloads with the new market.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
This may seem a little out there, but go to titanium backup and longpress the market app and move it to a user app. Attempt to open it up then close it, clear your data from the application details and reinstall the app from the zip on the OP. Install the marketupdater.apk as well.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
Don't let the other users methods confuse you. If you did everything in the OP, you shouldn't have any problems. If you did, be more specific and I will try to help. No offense. :)
[Kindle Fire General] theholyfork:
Don't worry, I'm pretty good with this stuff, but when he said he had full market access I wanted to know how he did it. I can confirm that it works though, I just had to replace the build.prop you provided, force stop the market, and clear the market data, then reboot, and I can see more apps in the new updated market! :)
[Kindle Fire General] Poler166:
build.prop alone is awsome

well i did a factory reset on TWRP since it was not working for me i re flashed the lastest gapps and wow i can now see WAY more than i could before so idk ima stick with just the build.prop huge improvement
[Kindle Fire General] hijax2001:
I've looked for a zip file of build.prop in your original post, but do not find it. I've tried viewing your post from both the XDA app and via a browser... can you please help?
[Kindle Fire General] evasionoftruth:
I modified my build.prop and have better access, appreciate the info. Before Box app wasn't showing and now it is so I'm happy:D
[Kindle Fire General] hijax2001:
I ended up finding it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s9i3qvf3muvhm6f/CMHackMarket1-build.prop.zip
[Kindle Fire General] hijax2001:
I have also since found your megaupload link in the original post. It just didnt show as a link...

FYI the Dropbox file has all of the build.prop edits you mention in the original post.
[Kindle Fire General] engagedtosmile:
My market also updated to the newest version while still maintaining all the apps access. After doing all the steps, I rebooted which caused to put the new version on there. Thanks, this mod is even better now.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
Made some changes to the OP to simplify things a bit.
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
So has anyone tried this with a stock rooted kindle?

Do the Google Apps now show up?
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
This build.prop will not work with the stock kindle rom.
[Kindle Fire General] airmaxx23:
I tried the modified build.prop and I still get the "your device is not compatible" error when trying to use Shadow Guardian.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
confirmed, but even when trying to search for the app on the web market it is not showing. they might be releasing an update or have pulled it for whatever reason... i will check it later to see if gameloft has resolved the issue.

nice find!
[Kindle Fire General] airmaxx23:
I have the game on my Galaxy Nexus so I made a backup and transferred the files to my Kindle, when I try to run it I get the error message.
[Kindle Fire General] mono feo0:
after changing my build.prop to the one provided in the OP, I've started experiencing some lag in cm7.. any idea why this could be?
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
did you follow the guide step by step? did you clear your system cache in TWRP?

clearing your system cache is optional, but it helped for me. how much lag are you experiencing? where is your lag?
[Kindle Fire General] mono feo0:
All I did was install the modified build.prop and reboot. (after reading the posts on the first page) the lag occurs when opening apps, opening settings, waking the device from sleep. it's just like a 2-3 second longer delay before they actually happen. any idea what i should do?

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

oh never mind, it seems to be working normally now :) i think it was just a little laggy since it was the first boot with the new build.prop... oh and can i leave that build.prop indefinitely? would it affect anything in terms of apps etc? and if i revert to the old build.prop, would the apps i installed using the new build.prop work? thanks for your patience and taking the time to reply :)
[Kindle Fire General] airmaxx23:
Once everything is installed and working you can revert back to your stock build.prop file.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
If I were you, I would leave the modified build.prop there. It doesn't hurt anything. But no, it will not affect the apps you already have installed.
[Kindle Fire General] Smmoph:
Can someone upload the market files? MU is gone. Market is f/c constanly b'cause I'm using found clones. Just a working link, thank you.

I have loaded in gapps and on reboot saw

Is there no way to modify stock version of build.prop? CM7 is very unstable on my Fire, so I stick to rooted stock ROM.
[Kindle Fire General] a567765:
+1.

I'm also interested in modified build.prop for rooted stock, only in part of device recognition by android market, without any unstable perfomance tweaks). Is it possible or CM7 only?

Lets do this thing:

First, the build.prop

We are going to replace the build.prop, so make a backup of the one you have.

open RE, and head over to /system/

copy that file and put it in a safe spot

Now we are going to put this modified build.prop in the location of the old one.

download this modified build.prop to your phone’s sd card:

open RE and copy the build.prop you just downloaded

navigate to /system/ again

click Mount R/W to give RE permissions to modify these files

paste the build.prop in the /system/ directory

if it asks to overwrite, go ahead and it will make a backup of the original called build.prop.bak

restart your device

I did exactly like that. after restart I can see all of Gameloft games and it works. I playing order and chaos now. Thank you so much, enkode. the optional step isn't need for my kindle

[Kindle Fire General] MadJoe:
This worked perfectly! I'm on stock, and had tried playing with my builds prop on my own, but this not only makes my Fire smoother, but now after flashing it, I have a lot more apps to choose from in the market, and everything still looks like stock. Prefect! Thank you.

Damn you Swype!
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
The post is updated with files attached instead of uploaded to an external site.

Also threw in some performance boosts in the build.prop.

Old 2.2.6 market is attached for incompatible apps or if you want it for nostalgic reasons.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
once a good stable version of ICS comes out, I will... ICS will have better market results out of the box though. Shouldnt need much tweaking. We'll see.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
Yeah, the fingerprint of this mod has been the GTab since the beginning of the OP.
[Kindle Fire General] Vexill:
If you were to take a quick guess, what changes in the build.prop file would be needed to make this work for ICS? It seems to me like changing the build.prop file to a galaxy tab (which runs gingerbread) like it does now would be taking a step backwards, so maybe emulating a HTC Flyer or Toshiba Thrive would work? I've been trying to do this to no avail, but I'm not exactly an expert.
[Kindle Fire General] enkode:
What types of apps aren't showing?
[Kindle Fire General] BluesHawk:
Thanks a lot, digging the expanded market
[Kindle Fire General] Vexill:
Well my main concern would be "tablet" applications, such as CNN or Google Docs, which show up in the Market but don't recognize the Kindle as a tablet, and therefore runs in a scaled up phone UI. There are also cases such as NFL '11 For Tablets which don't even show up. Am I right in guessing editing the build.prop file could solve these problems?
[Kindle Fire General] astmario:
But you need tablet that is similar to Kindle Fire as possible, if I understand, many programs and games use info from build.prop to adjust resolution and other stuff to work.

Almost every game, including NFL need to download additional data that is phone specific. If you mask Kindle Fire as HTC Flyer, you are telling NFL that you have Qualcomm Ardeno 205 graphic chip, so NFL would download data that is adequate for Qualcomm and not for Power VR that is actually in Kindle and result is either unplayable game or poor performance.

How would I go about changing the boot screen I am running CyanogenMod 7.1
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] drlzanej:
Search the themes and apps thread for bootanimation and splash screen and you should be able to rind what your looking for. I think it says somewhere in rhe forum rules something about Search before you ask, doesnt it ?...later
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] moisaal:
Download Rom Toolbox by Jrummy16. Worth every penny. I am not sure whether or not the lite version will change the bootanimations but you can give it a shot.

Or...download a bootanimation, should be a .zip file and push it to /system/media with root explorer.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ebaum1:
Yes, the Lite version does include boot animations, it also includes fonts, Icon changer, and a theme chooser.

In my opinion, I must agree it is well worth the time to download it from the market...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajrty33:
UOT kitchen website is another option. It's pretty straightforward
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] df011:
So how would I Download these off the computer or the phones browser

ROMToolbox is in the market.

Uot kitchen could probably be done either on your phone or your PC.

Unlockroot is a new rooting tool.I blogged about it few days back !!

As quoted by dev Justin via email.

Although the dev has made it opensource here :

https://github.com/CunningLogic/TacoRoot

https://github.com/CunningLogic/BurritoRoot

So I have removed all links from my blog post.

I've had the E4GT since launch but I've yet to root it. I honestly don't have a reason to, other than the ability to wireless tether. Am I missing out on anything else?

I rooted my EVO 4G mainly to increase the speed and battery life, but I don't have that problem with the E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
you've never looked in the dev forum?

the answers are all there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
A random one would be the ability to backup your Angry Birds progress without using free apps that dont work half the time or paying for one that will probably screw you now and then too.

Goes for all your apps I picked up Titanium Backup Pro so i could keep all my settings for apps through a full wipe.

Other than that alot of its more towards customization. The E4GT supports screen shots without root so thats good. I came in with the same attitude I liked it as is but now I am rolling on a custom rom. One of my biggest complaints was not having a battery percentage on the battery meter and thats now there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dafluke24:
Another reason is to remove all the bloatware that's loaded on the phones. I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes to keep the phone lean with just apps I only use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's a big one. There is alot of bloat that sucks battery even when not in use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AsinX:
Remove bloatware, faster filesystems, themeing of the framework, better battery life, use of root apps, always having the latest version of firmware for your phone, dev fixes, features included not regularly found on your phone, underclocking, titanium backup. Must I go on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Can't believe, the why should I root question is still out there. Honestly if you said you had an Evo why would you need to even ask. Its purely your decision and if you are happy then stay unrooted. But if you do choose to root please don't be that guy that starts a thread for what rom should I use, whats the best kernel or one of the other 100 duplicated threads I read in here. Just like should I root its all personal preference

Bottom line is if you are heppy leave your phone as is and get PDANet

Reposted from the streak5 theme subforum, if you wish to leave comments, press the ">" in the header bar of the quote box.

The main theme itself should work on venue 3xx roms, but the clock will likely NOT work and I do not intend to make a clock port to any roms.

There's guides to make a clock mod on the streak 5 section, the directions would be identical for the venue too if anyone was inclined to port it.

I assume you understand how to baksmali and diff it, the AM and PM should be whatever chars your lang uses for AM and PM (if your lang does not use AM PM). It's not the proper way to do it, I never bothered finding out how GB roms do it properly.

[Dell Venue] TheManii:
If you're on a GB rom already I dont believe that'll help, you'll need to figure out what code was removed/disabled then, as GB natively includes the ability to remove the AM/PM indicators.
