build.prop for plants vs zombies??? - TouchPad General

So plants vs zombies works on my evo 3d, I've edited my Touchpad build prop to match my evo but on android market it shows as "HP htc shooteru" tried copying the. Apk to my touchpad and it installs but gives an error installing additional data. Has any one been able to run it?

I kept my build prop the same and just installed pvz. It works fine without modification.

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

Yep I've watched it and tried it, set permissions etc but still wont install extra game data

Sounds like this issue is touch and go my friend. Download asphalt 6 in the meantime. Seems like that works.

Try format /cache /dalvik cache 3 times (wipe), then re flash the rom. This solved the problem for me.
Good luck.
Search!
edit : Make a backup! Change the build.prop to GT-I9000.

I have not edited my prop file and plants vs zombies works with no issues.

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....
Edit: I just looked up the ELUA, and EA are jerks. What ever happened to "you buy something, and it is yours"? Everyone is told as a child to share. Now apparently I don't own it, I am just renting it.

Need For Speed Shift

I have Chainfire, and I have the APK but I have no idea how to get the extra game data to download. I tried changing my build prop but that didnt help. Does anyone know how to make it download the data or where I can download the data. Every Google search I did returned downloads for the data but they all said the files had been deleted.
It works for me now with the new update from the game.

Not sure if this will help, but this is how i was able to get it to work.
If you (or anyone you know) has an android phone, install the apk. to the phone. Update the app if it isnt already updated. Donwload the data. Then, move the data from the phone SD card to your Nooks SD Card. It should be saved under Android-data-com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf.
I will say that after I did this, i had to reset my Nook to get the app to notice the data, but it works fine now.
Hope that helps.

This is because his phone has a PowerVR (like the NC) gpu while yours probably has a qualcomm or nvidia. You need the correct type of sd card data.
I bought this an was really enjoying Shift until I had to re-image the NC.
Now, I have an odd issue. In the Market, I can't even see NFS Shift. However, on my other NC, I can see NFS Shift and can download again if needed.
How do I get my re-imaged NC to see it in the Market to re-download?
Thanks!

The android market is a fickle thing. I flashed the same ROM (CM7n253) to multiple Nooks. Only one of them won't allow me to download Google Earth because it's "incompatible." The only difference between the devices is that I assigned them unique IMEIs. I put "Blood and Glory" on my NC and I was going to put it on the others only to find that it doesn't show on the market. Checked market website and sure enough it's listed as "incompatible". Checked my NC and now it's listed as "incompatible" too. Good thing it's a free app, I just titanium backed it up and loaded it on the others. I really wish android market had an advanced mode where you could ignore it's "compatibility" settings.
I'd also like to have a way to gift games (a la steam) cause I would have bought a lot more at the holiday sale if I could have just emailed the codes or had it open on their markets.
apk and data from a Droid X
I installed the apk from my Droid X (which I purchased) along with the data but when I attempt to start the game I get an error message that says "Error (Airplay v4.3.10 [2599558]) S3E_DEVICE_PHONE_NUMBER: This device don't have a phone number!".
Thoughts anyone?
UPDATE: The game starts after I click off that error message. However, even though the game will see the data from my previous game play from my Droid X (money, experience points, etc) it still displays the message "If you want to purchase the full game." even though the copy off of my Droid X was purchased. It also doesn't let me change tracks either so I'm stuck on the Tokyo one.

Blockbreaker 3 HD only $0.10 and runs great on nook color.

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.

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?

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.

i bought it a little bit ago for my tp and it went fine. i've not had any problems with the .10c apps downloading, tbh.
I have the default alpha3 build.prop and it installs fine.
All you have to do is purchase it from another android device and then go to the TP's market app and go to "my apps", then go download at the end of the list and find "Not Installed" purchased apps. HD Widgets should be there.

HD Widgets show up fine on my 16 using cm7 a3. Doesn't show on my 32 running xron. I'm assuming build.prop difference.

I dont remember seeing tablet widgets in their android market screenshots but if they exist and are tablet-only widgets you will have to wait for ICS. Currently our Touchpad run a phone version of android and so cant run anything that uses tablet APIs (Honeycomb and ICS can run these).

CM9 full market

I'm using chrmhoffmann's v0.04 CM9 ROM, and I'm trying to get full market going.
I've used this guide here:
http://geeknizer.com/install-incompatible-unsupported-apps-from-android-market/
added the necessary build.prop entries,
force stopped Play Store, cleared its data, and rebooted, but still don't have full Market.
Just flash some different gapps

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.
Good Luck

Oh I'm sorry I didn't get what you said at first, I've seen a app and if I find it again, I'll post it
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.

So I found this...
Go into ES file explorer and open build prop with some kind of text editor.
Look for these three lines
(model, brand, and name) and change it from what it is to this:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.name=Galaxy Nexus
and then save it and restart your phone.

Did you get the games yet? Do they run well even though our device is technically unsupported?
I played dark knight and spiderman pretty good. Dark knight had some lag here and there but with the right rom and them finally updating it.. It worked out.
Once the game is installed, can you revert back to your original build prop & still play the games?

Screw it, I'm testing myself & reporting for others who wanted to know.
Editing the build.prop was a pain. had to edit 5-6 different entries just to get the Market to think it was a Galaxy Nexus.
Market Installing Gamloft's best (Asphalt 7, N.O.V.A. 3 & Modern Combat 3) doing Dead Space for kicks, I expect the Gameloft titles to work but Dead Space might not work.
I'll install & then revert build.prop back to normal.
EDIT:
Gamloft games running as normal bringing build.prop back to normal, I was able to buy N.O.V.A. 3 while it was on sale for $1.
No change in graphics .vs paymium versions.
You can locate your purchased Gameloft Installed games under "ALL" & I see the auto update checked, even though it's listed back to "Unsupported" so it could be possible to recieve updates.
