Yeah, specifics would be nice. I have changed the build.prop to reflect a Droid X, and I still don't see it in the market. On my nook or my EVO.
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is a Droid X
ro.product.model=Droid X
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
Save and overwrite.
Use Google to find the apk. Install and update.
Here's a small video that I did showing that it work.

will this break netflix? and how would we update?
the game runs an update check at the beginning of running it, although i dont know when there actually is an update if it will just patch or make me reinstall a new apk.
got it working, fun game! and netflix still works
Just an fyi, quite a few devices work with this game, my Nook's build.prop is set to the Samsung Nexus S and both netflix and this game work fine.

if you have SwypeBeta installed and change your nook's build.prop ID, it'll give you a snarky "this ain't licensed anymore" message, but it doesn't seem to have affected my NC at all...

It probably will. I think they have a time delay before it goes to "reduced functionality" which basically means you can no longer swype, only touch type.
Worked
Thanks for the tip, got it up and running and downloading the updates right now!
It was somewhat difficult to find a good link to the apk though, a lot of them have been removed or are broken, and I'd be afraid to repost the link where I found it for fear of that one being removed as well.
However, I really want to be able to support gameloft so they keep pumping out awesome games, but the only way to get this on the nook is to download the apk free. Is there a way to give to gameloft what they earned?
Got it up and running last week, but a new update was released that makes it unable to play. If anyone has a work around for this, That would be cool. It is an error after I log in that says to update before I can play. But I can't find any way to update the game manually, and I can't access it through the market....
Do a google search for the latest version by number and you will find a download link for the game.
For anyone editing the build.prop....
You DO NOT have to CHANGE the lines...
Just ADD the new info at the TOP of build.prop... it will use the first entry it finds... this makes undoing changes much easier...
You can also use my IMEI Generator to do these edits... since they have to be done every nightly update... just remember to edit the ini file in the Generator...
Thanks for the info!
Worked for me
Im currently in the market for a tablet that can at least run games of this nature, how exactly is the performance on the NC? Im debating on waiting for the Kindle Fire, but if this runs smooth on here, i can save a few $$ and get a refurbed NC on the cheap.
Thanks for the feedback!

For me it runs pretty smooth, plus you can use chainfire3d app to make it smoother reducing graphics. I haven't tried with chainfire3d since for me it runs good as it is Haven't played it in a while I need to update to check if it still runs the same way.

I've got slideit on my nook, but can't seem to activate it. It tells me I need to activate it manually, but when I go to settings/keyboard, the screen flickers and takes me to the home screen. I've tried disabling almost all the running apps and rebooting, but the same thing still happens.
I've been able to find help on rooting, adding apps, etc, on this forum, so maybe someone could give me some advice.
Try moving the apk from data/app to system/app folder then you should be able to install and setup the keyboard.

Are you using the NookColor Tools app for settings, or the stock settings?
I recommend NCT.

I had been trying with the stock. In NCT there's the option to choose keyboard but slideit isn't listed. I'll try downloading the apk and putting it in system/app again.
I'm also having a problem with SlideIT. I've pushed it to the device, and when I bring up NCT it's in fact the only option to select. However, it never actually comes up. In other words, if I enter a text entry box the keyboard never pops up.
Try messing with the permissions once it is in the systems/app folder. I've neutral been giving them full user permission but that might not be needed. Also sometimes a reboot is needed.

Lol throw us a bone here.. how do you get slideit working?
How i got mine working.
I installed it using dropbox. I put my apk file in dropbox, then i install it. Then i go to my sd card using root explorer, there is a folder called dropbox which the apk gets copied to. I copy and paste the apk in \system\app and then it still didnt work, so i went to the file, mounted as r/w in root explorer, then you long hold on the file name, and it gives the options of "permissions" which you select and then i checked all the boxes. I rebooted after that, which at this point you can use nook tools to set the keyboard.
Now that i helped with all that, how in the hell do you use this thing? I saw videos of swipe, and it looked amazing, to me this thing is like a regular keyboard although i can draw lines through it, it just has no clue what i am trying to type. maybe i will search for a tutorial or something.
Update: found a userguide http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Product/SlideIT/Manual/Pdf/SlideIT_UserGuide[English].pdf

This is easiest to understand when viewed.
As a simple test, place your forefinger on the letter T, and, without lifting it, slide diagonally over to E, then to S, and then back to T. Now lift your finger. If the word "test" did not appear, then your copy of SlideIT isn't finding its dictionary.

I followed these steps exactly and got to the point where I could see SlideIT as a selectable keyboard. I selected it and then tried to type in a field and a note and it doesn't pop-up. I rebooted after that just to make sure and still no good.

Try installing it, so it'll be in data/app, then copy it into system/app - changing permissions, and also keeping the original apk in data/app. Then reboot, and you should be able to select it in NookColorTools.
That worked! Thanks
I can't find the apk after download. It does not exist in the data/app when I am viewing it in Astro file manager lite after performing an install via Appbrain or directly from the market. Is there an alternate way to get the apk? I purchased the app.

If it's really installed, it's in there somewhere. Look for com.dasur.slideit.apk
Still no luck. Isn't there a workaround? I imagine jve got the apk Somehow off his device since he loaded it on dropbox.
Thanks in advance!
Crap, so the developer overnight put the apk for a demo version online and I was able to get the apk into my app directory with root explorer. However I then went into the SlideIT application and changed input method. The app has a little text input box to do that. Unfortunately after doing this the app wanted a registration code, but the SlideIT not being activated I cannot enter it. So I thought to just enable trial mode but when the app tries to connect to the server it errors out. And I can't get back to the input selection box! help!
Tried to un install using astro but SlideIT doesn't show in list of apps. Only shows in app brain but un install failed. If only I could clear SlideITs cache!

UPDATE: 4/30/11
Thumb KB 4.0, Beta 3.1 is now available at the following location: http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com/
If you have Thumb KB already installed from the Market, you must uninstall that version first before installing the new beta.
Some very nice changes so far....enjoy!
Thanks to Paul @ Beansoft for his very hard work on this new version!!
------------------------------------------------------------
Original Post:
I have been working with Paul, developer of the Thumb Keyboard (TKB) app, over the last couple of weeks to fine-tune the various layouts available on the TKB for the NookColor.
As of today, we tested the various layouts and they are working great! No longer does the bottom row disappear like it does with the current version available in the Market. A new version, with the new enhancements for the NC, should be available tomorrow.
This is great news, as this keyboard is incredibly easy, intuitive, and flexible to use on my NC. Appelflap is a very responsive dev and is doing a great job in supporting the NC community with these recent changes to his app.
A big thanks goes out to him for his patience with my testing and for a great app that makes typing on my NC so much better.
[My NC: Rooted, running v1.1.0r2 by Decad3nce, OC'd using 1.1Ghz OMAP3630 by Dalingrin]
I'm really looking forward to this, I have big fingers so I'm "all thumbs" to start with.
Went to market and picked it up but could not figure out how to enable it in the nook. Looks like an interesting concept. Will buy again but can you tell me how to activate it? Refunded until then.

I second that. I bought it too but have no clue how to get it to show up i the list of keyboards. I've done everything from renaming the zip to apk, renaming the latin ime and even copying the zip and the apk to system still to no avail. I see theres going to be an update tomorrow hopefully it fixes the the installation issue but if not can anyone who has gotten this to work please offer a solution.

the apk that you have to move to system/app (as with other keyboards) is actually located in data/app-private. move that guy over and maybe change permissions. its been a while but i think thats how i got this working.
edit: after doing that, i also had to reinstall by clicking on the apk that i moved. it then showed up as a selectable keyboard.

This is what I did to finally get it working. It took me a very long time to get this keyboard recognized in the NookColor Tools as an optional keyboard, but here is what I did:
1) Backing up the Thumb KB on my Droid X using "My Backup Pro" app
2) Transferred the newly created backup from my DX to my NC
3) Used Root Explorer to go into the backup file and and copied the .apk to /System/App
4) From within Root Explorer, installed the .apk (I was already mounted as R/W)
I could just not get it installed from the Market, for whatever reason...even after copying the .apk from /Data/App-private to /System/App.
As a side note, it does seem like renaming the LatinIME.apk in /system/app was something I tried and worked, in addition to what I performed above. I have since renamed that file back and I still have the Thumb KB in my menu option.
Let me know if this works, realizing that backing up from another device may not be possible for everyone.
when you tried copying the apk from data/app-private, did you then install by clicking on the apk while it was in system/app? that was the key point for me.

After copying the .apk to the /system/app folder, I did run the installer directly from within Root Explorer and this worked for me.
I was also helping the Dev out and testing this, and it works great. I did do a restart after I moved the .apk to the system/app folder. Using this keyboard makes a lot more sense for a tablet than the other keyboards. I can type faster now without having to put down the Nook, or feel like I going to drop it on accident.
Been looking forward to seeing the "not completely compatible with Nook" note go away. Thanks for the heads-up. =)

In root explorer I tapped on the apk and hit install
then I got "problem parsing the package"

Same issues as above. Great idea though. Refunded until confirmed it can install from market with no tinckering.
Thanks 360Razir for helping me out by testing the keyboard on the NC!
For people with a parser error: do you rename the apk when copying it over? Renaming could be the source of the parsing problem.
Furthermore I turned off copy protection on the market. This should reduce the installation hassle a bit.
I'm planning to make a installer for (rooted) NCs. Can someone describe the exact steps that have to be taken to install TKB on a NC? That would be great (please use the non protected app on the market as the starting point of the description)
One minor issue I noticed; when using the 7" symbol/numeric keyboard in portrait, when I press the ., key, it enters a period in the text box as it should, but the key confirmation popup displays a 0 .

This probably isn't a big issue but it's getting on my nerves. When I go to settings and hit keyboard, a 'Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.' I did "try" to root and unroot it. Anyone had this problem? Can anyone help??
Yeah, that's a common problem for everybody. Here's 2 ways you can change keyboards:
1.) Get Keyboard Manager from the Market. It can even let you choose different keyboards for portrait and landscape orientations.
2.) Go into The NT Hidden Settings app -> Acessibility Settings -> ignore the pop up -> input method
oh thank you so much. I had no idea it was a common problem. I searched for it here and on google. didn't find anything on it. but im relieved now that i know i'm not the only one. thanks.
I've downloaded and tried keyboard manager and downloaded several keyboards. None of the keyboards ever show up though. The only option I ever get in input is the default Android Keyboard.
I forgot to mention that you'll have to move the keyboard app into the /system/app folder of your device. Then reboot and you will have access to the different keyboards.
Also, there's a thread devoted to installing alternate keyboards in the Themes and Apps sub-forum. I would provide a link to the thread but I'm using my Tablet now and I have yet to flash CM7 with its copy/paste, haha.
Yep after moving the hackers keyboard to the right directory, it`s working great.

Glad to hear you got it working. In case you were still wondering or for others who have the same question, the keyboard app you downloaded was probably in this location: /data/app. From there you'd just want to move the app into the /system/app folder. Then reboot and you should be good to go (don't worry if you keep getting a force close of the keyboard app before you reboot).
EDIT: ckevin, you're too quick, haha.

Moved the file to the system/folder.. and it finally showed up in the accessibility setting, but still getting an error that it stopped unexpectedly.
Has anyone got another keyboard with a foreign language to work? I've been searching the forums for hours, but I haven't found any successful way to do this.
It looks like some people got swype and possibly other keyboards to work with CM7 installed.. Thinking I should go that route, but it's still in Alpha. I REALLY need the japanese keyboard, or this tablet is somewhat useless. Thanks everyone for your help.
Nook Force Close trying to change Keyboard
I have ES File Explr, I have seen the folders noted in the previous replies. Unfortunately, I cannot find the keyboard apk at all. There is actually nothing in my /data/app folder. From what I can tell, most are in the /system/app folder ...except the keyboard one I need.
So, to get around this, I downloaded a keyboard apk to my PC and then dropped it into my Download folder on my Nook. From there I used ES File Explr to copy/paste it to system/app folder -- but it would not allow this. I tried to "Move To" and "Cut/Paste" as well as the aforementioned "Copy/Paste." None of these were allowed.
I am at a complete loss. I understand I need to move the new Keyboard apk to system/app folder, but I still cannot find where it is stored. It does indicate "Installed." I tried a search in ES File Expl (for the word Keyboard, as it is in the apk name - even trying *.*apk, which was of no use, of course).
This thread addressed everything I asked and seemed to answer same. And I will continue looking for add'l help elsewhere in the forum. But if anyone can help me, I would be sooo very appreciative. Thanks!
PS:
I have the Nook Tablet orig. released Winter of 2011/2012, I think (when they first came out as "official Nook Tablet" with the Jane Lynch commercials (at the time Best Buy didn't even know they existed when I went in to purchase one). I rooted it (because a week after I got it they pulled that auto update that screwed all of us). But, aside from the root, I am not a super user. Everything I've done has been with the help of the masterful XDA instructions.
This just released for Android this week but can't be used on our device. Says it is made for devices with 1024x600 or 1280x800. Our device should be 1024x768, right? Anyway to get this to work?
Have you tried spoofing your build.prop to be more like a Galaxy Tab or other device ? Or, even better, find a list on their site of supported devices, and spoofing one of them ?

cant promise anything, but it looks like its compatable with my TP. I have the build.prop edited so I can watch baseball with the At-Bat app, making the app think i'm on a xoom.
from root explorer (or similar file explorer), go into system folder. make sure you are in R/W mode
long press on the build.prop file and select "open in text editor"
see attached pic for what you are editing. after you are done, select menu (3 dots in upper right hand corner) and select "save & exit"
reboot. hopefully that'll do the trick.
***the market now thinks you are on a xoom, i havent seen any issues, but certain apps will behave different. I use the goo.im app, when I search for updates, it searches form xoom roms, not tenderloin ones, just something to keep in mind***
also, if you want to see if the changes stuck, you can go into settings -> about tablet. under model # it should say Xoom
I with give it a shot. Thanks for this.

The problem is that if the device doesnt reach the resolution needed you cant grab certain items it the top right of the screen, where the items list is placed.
It's very pitty that for such a silly reason ppl with a standard device cannot play this nice game...
Works fine here. Downloaded using my phone, pulled the apk and pushed it to my Touchpad, already about half way through the game.
The only real problem is the status bar is on the right side instead of the bottom, and of course black borders on top and bottom.
Chainfire3d 4x AA also helped smooth out the jaggies in the bubble sequences.
yea ive been playing it for quite a while... just got the regular apk, and installed... no edits anywhere
Machinarium download for Touchpad
I downloaded the Machinarium APK file from 4shared last week and it runs on my ICS rooted touchpad flawlessly. Fantastic game, beautiful hand-drawn graphics, and very challenging to play.
I want to have a build.prop to have a fuller market and so I can download more games that I want and so I can download some SD data that a game isn't letting me download. Please help I have nook tablet 16 gig CM9 0.05.1. Thanks!
Well, are you asking what to change? Or how to actually go about changing it?

I am asking what to change.
I thought there was talk about changing the dots per inch or LCD density, but I'm not quite sure. Will edit this post if I find it again.
But I need to change it so I can have more of a selection in the market and to trick some apps I don't care about the LCD density but thanks anyway. WhTever you can do to help me is greatly appreciated

please read up on 'LCD density'. it "is" how the ( google ) market categorizes you as a phone or tablet. so... ya... you do need to toggle it.
.
and there are additional setting too.
Is this what you are looking for?

Yeah, you need to actually try to look things up and understand, you know? Instead of just getting directions from people and changing things. That way you know what's going on and have a better chance of fixing it when you gets stuck.
Use the files in fullboogies post and change the first several lines to be like the others they link to. To change it on your tablet use es file explorer and go all the way up then go to /system and click build.prop and use es text editor when it asks, and you can change what you want. I made mine look like the nexus 7, but there were bugs. Oh, and make sure system is r/w and root access in the settings.

OP - I used the method in the post I made above and have successfully swapped build.prop files many times to get access to new stuff on the market. It is a really easy process once you read, read, and re-read the thread I posted. Just make sure you have backups of the stock file, and make sure you keep track of which build.prop file is which.
Personally, I give them a unique name when I'm not using them, then change the name to "build.prop" when I want to swap for another one. Again, just make sure you keep track of which is which. And keep a backup copy of the stock one on your home computer, just in case.
