Blockbreaker 3 HD on sale now! LINK
Full sale including other games: LINK
The Gameloft apps seem to require IMEI, build.prop and LCD to 160. If you don't have these, your mileage may vary...
Backstab HD was in sale 12/11/11 for the same price and prolly will be again. It also runs perfectly on the nook.
Asphalt 6HD was in sale a couple of times over the last week for the same price and prolly will be again. It also runs perfectly on the nook.
Here's the build.prop edits I have: HERE
build.prop edit how to:HERE (you should backup your original first just in case you decide to change it back.) Don't forget to clear market data and reboot.
Could you tell me which parts of build prop you edited? Thanks.
Im with the above poster. Lol. Ill be getting a nook here shortly, and im new to build prop editing other than vm heap and what not.

Still can't get this to work on my Nook Color.
I've edited my build.prop to the following:
ro.product.model=SPH-P100
ro.product.brand=bn
ro.product.name=encore
ro.product.device=encore
ro.product.board=encore
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
I've cleared out my market data multiple times and rebooted multiple times.
Neither Blockbreaker 3 HD nor Backstab HD show up in the Android Market on the Nook Color, and when I try to get it through android.market.com it tells me "This item is not compatible with your device."
Any other ideas?
Have you tried clearing market data and rebooting?

The LCD density is already set to 160.
Indeed, I too made the same build.prop changes, verified that the dpi was set to 160 (my encore nightly was already set that way), cleared the cache and data for Market, and rebooted. I verified the build.prop changes after the reboot just in case I erred.
Blockbreaker 3 HD still does not show up on the market and shows as unavailable on market.android.com.
I'm running nightly "cm_encore_full-253.zip" and "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip". Any other suggestions would be welcome, Blockbreaker looks quite fun. Thanks.

I'm running 253 as well. The gapps version shouldn't affect anything. The only thing left I can think of is IMEI editing, sorry. Gameloft always finds a way to make installing a game 20x harder than it needs to be.
Understood, thanks. I take it then that lack of a real IMEI can cause apps to show as unavailable on the market? (I had only previously run into IMEI problems with already installed apps, like an old version of Touchdown. They didn't work right but they showed up in the market and installed, IIRC.)

I wouldn't have thought so but Gameloft games have a history of having buggy DRM that does everything but a credit check before allowing you to play your game. The exciting news is that with IMEI editing (and everything else) these games are seeming to install and prevent me from needing to scour the darkened alleys of the internet looking for hacked .apks.

In trying to optimize my CM7, RC4 setup, I realized that changing the LCD density from 161 to 160 allowed a game that I never got to work before to run perfectly...The game is "fruit slice"...Now I wonder how important this may be with multitudes of games and apks? Anyone else notice this on other apps?? If you've figured one out, or a complete workaround that cures this scaling issue, please offer any insights you might have.I'd rather not have to make folders of certain apps that only work at so-and-so density..but..

I've been using 140 pretty much exclusively. I don't like the Fisher Price look of the big huge icons you get with 200 that so many here are fond of.
I set mine at 210. The only app that doesn't scale correctly is Google Reader.

For those asking how to change it, there is an app in the market (although I've never used it), or you can use Root Explorer to edit the build.prop file in your system folder. Just scroll down until you see something about LCD Density (sorry, don't have my Nook in front of me) with a 161 after it, change that number to one of the numbers listed in this thread. I use 140, some use much higher numbers. You'll have to reboot for the change to take effect.

Funny how that is. I just tried Fruit Slice at 210, 161 & 160. 160 was the only one that worked.
I would suggest Fruit Ninja for 210, but it's a paid app. I bought it a long time ago, and it works great at 210. It was the free app of the day on on the Amazon Appstore the other day, and I have seen the free apps repeat.
...or you could just go with 160.
I have fruit ninja too...I was just wondering if there was some magic cure-all for all apps when used on the nook, or was the reason perhaps just lazy coding by certain app devs.

The answer most likely is that the Samsung Galaxy i777 is so new right now
that when developers create the code to their apps most likely are required to
enter or add into their app coding and or database the exact phone names
and models to which they are compatible with before the market allows the
people to download it...........
Just a way to keep the market safer and from getting thousands of complaints
damm , and I wanted to try that wifikill app. Hopefully the creator has a direct link in his thread on xda.
Someone said in that app thread that its because I may have changed my dpi settings, and I did in the build.prop file but I changed it back and I'm still getting the error so I think Misterjunky is correct.

What would the pixel density have to do with any of that? That absolutely is not true as I have the ATT version of the phone and my room mate has the Epic 4G Touch version of this phone. Both are rooted and his is still stock ROM mine is listed below in my signature. My Pix density is 200 and his is stock 240. Both of our markets show as having not compatible apps for our phones such as Adobe Flash and Netflix...Yet We both have the apps on our phones just older versions. When you search them out they are there and claim to have updates but will not let you install. I flashed the UnNamed 1.0.3 ROM to my phone just a few days ago I did a wipe and reset of the phone, after rebooting and customizing (including changing the build.prop file for density) for a short period of time I was able to search out and update Adobe Flash to version 11 and the latest version of Netflix. I go back after a few hours and restoring from TIBU and noticed one of my apps "Make your clock" was the old version I had in my backups that I must have restored over the newer version downloaded earlier in the day from the market updates. I went to update the app and I was not able to do it, now it is not compatible with my phone. I thought at first it was just paid type apps that were doing this and then I investigated and noticed the Flash and Netflix apps were in the list. That threw out any type of security issues that may be trying to be implemented on paid apps now. But is may be something to do with files or sizes related to TIBU and restoring files from backups.
I can confirm that some of the apps in the market will show as incompatible when you change your LCD density. This may not be the only reason, but I have seen this behavior on the Facebook, Skype and YouTube apps.
I just set my density back to 240, restarted, downloaded/updated, then changed back. It's sort of irritating, but until there's a way to override the compatibility check, i think we just live with this work around.

Well I just did the same exact thing you just described and can reconfirm it is still not working with apps installed on my phone. But have not ran into any issue with installing any new appsnot previously installed or restored. Have you or do you use TIBU to backup or restore apps or are you straight stock loading apps from the market directly?

Yeah, like I said. There might be more than one problem. This is just the one that worked for me.
Before I figured it out, I had been restoring (old versions) apps using Titanium without any issue. It's a shame that the market compatibility detection is not quite accurate and there's no way to tell the Market "no really, my phone is compatible."

There's a good video, by rev kyle, on how to change your build. prop to GT-I9000 and samsung, which worked for me.

Really?? What Rom are you using?? I'm on latest xron.
I cant even find Plants vs zombies in the market. I got the paied version on my Desire S, but when i wanna install it on the touchpad, its not there?! I have set the build.prop like the samsung... Anyone know what to do? Im running cm7 alpha 3.
Has anyone tried the Amazon Market? I was able to locate it there and download it no problems with no change to build.prop.
Yes, I tried it and no problems.
I used the Amazon market version which I picked up for free, but restored from TiBu instead of the market. In fact, I've restored all of my apps and data with each new version with no problems. The only thing that doesn't seem to restore successfully is my WiFi access points, but I assume that's because Leoisright is making changes to help those with problems.
I still can't get it to work, is it because I'm in the UK?
I have tried Samsung build prop, evo 3d build prop, moving the game files from my evo to the correct directory on the touchpad and moving the plants vs zombies APk, it will open and do an update check that fails everytime, it will not appear in the market on my tp whichever build prop I try. I tried buying it again from the Amazon app store but because I'm in the UK it said "unsupported region"
Really annoying I can't get to run, seems like it would be a good tablet game, can anyone share there build prop with me??
Use. the. original. build. prop.
and if you're using it from amazon appstore, you need something to spoof your location or atleast have a billing address in the US.
Yep I've tried the original build prop, HP tenderloin etc. Wiped caches, cleared market data, Google framework services data, still dosent show up in market.... I give up lol
I can't see it in the Play Store and Amazon isn't an option for us Canadians. I'm going to try setting dpi to 160, clearing app data, flashing latest CM9 nightly, clearing Cache and Davlik and then see.
I have it if you want to side load it....

Those games are showing as blocked on mine as well. They may just represent game makers no longer supporting the devices we are spoofing (Galaxy Tab and Nexus One). You can always try changing your build.prop to get the new games but you may lose access to others.
Thanks for the tip. I've never modified my build.prop. What would be a good value to change to? And what is the best way to modify that file?

You can use root explorer or ES file explorer. The value to change it to has historically been a combination of Nexus One and Galaxy tab settings. I currently have those settings on my nook and it is showing incompatible for the games you've listed. It may be a good idea to try Galaxy S or pure Galaxy tab (SPH-P100 or GT-P1000) since those are all PowerVR devices so there won't be incompatibilities with the games you download.
Well, it seems that no matter what method I try, I can't get /system to mount r/w. I found something suggesting that I need ro.secure=0 in some file (maybe build.prop or maybe default.prop), but I think I'm getting beyond my knowledge and comfort level.
I finally was able to edit build.prop using Root Explorer (should've just bought that a long time ago). However, I can't figure out the right things to edit. I've tried changing the model and manufacturer to the values for Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S, and my Evo Shift, but none make these games available. Clearly, I'm missing something that needs changed.

Hmmm...didn't clear data for Play. Let me try that.
Ok, that let me get Sims Freeplay, but not the others. I even tried loading an "unlocked" Play apk. Aggravating.
I finally wised up. I downloaded the games to my phone, backed up with Titanium, copied the backups to my Nook, and restored.

Well at least is bypassing the device check, since its downloading the content. I was thinking you might need to use Chainfire3d to make it work smoothly. But we'll see what happens. If it works you think you could post a link for the apk you extracted from your phone?
Yeah, if it works, I'll do that.
You have to clear data from play store and google services framework.
Sims shows the splash screen then goes back home. Six Guns and Skyfall appear to work.
I'm apparently too dumb to figure out where the apk files are, so here are zips of the three files created by Titanium. Just drop them into your TitaniumBackup folder on your SD card (might require a reboot), then you can "restore" them through Titanium.

Oh, and clearing data on Google Service Framework didn't help me.
OK, so maybe Six Guns doesn't work. It sort of works, but it's not right.

I believe FULL market access is a pipe dream. I had to decide what apps I wished to install and look at the threads (XDA Themes and Apps) till I found which build.prop gave me access to those particular apps make the changes clear Market and reboot. Used ES File manager to save the app so I could reinstall locally at a later time. Make the next change in build.prop, etc., etc.

The thing is, I've used the same trick on Team-B's CM7 Final, and got full market with the Nexus S props, but never seems to work for CM9. Perhaps "Full" market wouldn't be the correct term, but for example Gameloft games would show up, and there are a few apps that I look for regularly as well that all showed up on CM7. I'm wondering if certain props will only work on GB and not on
ICS, or maybe the play store on ICS isn't cleared as easily, or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. If anyone has a set of props that allow Gameloft games to show up on CM9 for me to test that would be appreciated.
