[MOD] Solving all incompatibility issue with Games & Apps - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

[ROOT Needed]
Changing Device ID to galaxy s will be helping in playing incompatible games from gameloft & other vendors
You can play: mc3 & other games that weren't working earlier
You need (bild.prop editor)
code.google.com/p/net-widgetron-propeditor/downloads/detail?name=PropEditor-0.3.apk
Install this, Open & then backup orignal file..
& then you are ready to edit - find these lines & edit like this
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
(only manufacturer & model are necessary you might edit other if you want to..)
ro.product.name=GT-I9000
ro.product.device=GT-I9000
ro.product.board=GT-I9000
ro.product.brand=samsung
after editing save file & restart your device... that's done..
now visit gameloft http://wapshop.gameloft.com site to see if this trick is really working...

just rebooted it with the mod see if it works.......
Yes!! Got past the part where it says device is incompatible now downloading the data for MC3..........

Good luck with that, actually i don't have a galaxy player but want to help you guys, do tell others about this

This works well. It also lets us see apps that were hidden in the market before like go launcher ex and adw ex.

Dudes, do as OP says, only with GT-I9100 instead of GT-I9000, then go to Samsung apps and you can get loads of Gameloft games... FOR FREE! This is perfectly legal, unless Samsung is pirating them, lol!
Edit: Oh, I see, those are just trials, still, test out the game before you buy it!
Edit2: a member brought it to my attention that it might not be such a wise idea to trick the market into thinking your device is a dual core 1.2ghz device, so this might not be such a good idea.

Well I went on to the site and its says that my device is I9000 but on the market it says my device is still incompatible with other apps. I only left the ro.product.brand=samsung since it was the same. Did I do anything wrong? Could it be the custom rom I'm running?

I would say hit the thanks button, but I don't even see it!? Maybe it's because I am using opera mobile? Ah well, I really don't care about my "thanks meter" anyway

Thank you!
On Gameloft it is working, but on the Android-Market it is not working for me.

why don't you try market alternatives like app-brain, getjar

What if it doesn't let you backup the files in the Prop Editor or even open the files to edit? It keeps saying "Failed to copy PropFiles to /mnt/sdcard/propeditor" and a similar message for when I try to edit the .prop file >_<

You know, it is interesting; using this, many apps that didn't show on the market now show; however, there are still certain apps that do not show up. Adw launcher is one, jeopordy is also not. There are others, but I forget what they were. This makes the market think you are a nexus, witch I thought were supposed to get all apps, but I guess there are even apps that the nexus doesn't get, oh well. As long as gameloft games show, I'm happy!

Can someone post the edited build.prop file they changed? I did it and it recognized it as a Galaxy S but made it so my swype was a "limited" trial and now Swype won't work =(
Also, the market didn't change app compatibility wise, just on Gamelofts website only.

i did everything you said but its not working...you have solution?

So if i changed the model number to the gqlaxy nexus then would i be able to download:chrome?

I tried installing the chrome apk, it just gives the "problem parsing package" error. Guess it only works on ics.

where i need to write those lines?i have a lot of stuff there

Finaly got a fully working market (2.3.2) (all apps shown).. somehow.

So, after a bit work working and jerking, i actually got my Nook to show everything on the market; sad thing is, i can't say exactly what step did it. But i know overall what i tried, so i can at least mention here...
The first thing first - 2.2.11 and 2.2.7 are out of date. The newest is 2.3.2, and there are some great customized versions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957331
From here, i did a couple of things:
1) Did the standard clear market cache, force close, clear framework data, force close
2) Mounted /system and pushed Vending
3) Fixed permissions (on this, i went overboard, and basically did a chmod 777; but i am sure it doesn't really need that)
4)reboot
5) try to install it a few times (each install failed)
6) Use market enabler, with t-mobile (US) (i ended up buying the key, so i can fake it always on boot)
7) a couple more reboots in there
All said and done, the themed market finally showed up, and even better, EVERYTHING that was once hidden is there. Flash, Angry Birds, Dolphin.. all accessible. Even better, market.android.com now shows the nook, and doesn't say that my device is not able to run whatever. The website itself shows:
Unnamed Device LogicPD Nook Color (zoom2) T-Mobile February 17, 2011 February 16, 2011
Anyway, ill try to answer questions as people have them, but it looks like with the newest market, and (maybe) the faker, we can get full market access.
Well not sure how to get it working, did the easy try with just trying to install the .apk , but it says something about a problem parsing the file or something. I am new to android so not sure how to do the other stuff you talked about. I have root explorer btw.
Hmm.. when trying to install, i didn't run into any parsing errors - it just said it couldn't install.
For Froyo only?
Saw the framework data clear cache which is not seen in Eclair. Just checking.
I found this app that makes the market work with all the apps showing up. It's called MarketAccess. I couldn't find it in the android market, but you can download it here h t t p://amip.org.ru/android/MarketAccess. I have been using the T-Mobile US setting and it seems to work.
Interestingly the site claims MarketAccess is a complete rewrite of MarketEnabler. Not sure whether that's a good thing or not (yet). However, the site does detail why the rewrite was done and what was changed to a degree. Sounds good anyway from the bits I read.

I didn't think this was piracy, they are running a promotion. If it is, I can take it down.
its not promotion..Its the new way to make money off paid by giving it for free......developed by Getjar....its not piracy at all,I dont know how it works....I downloaded BW from there long time ago and still running rock solid...
Guys, this is not piracy, it's a new "Gold App Sale" by Getjar. There's some great apps in there too!
the only thing i cant get to download on the TP is Tapatalk
edit: anyone know a quick download code?
Seems like some cool apps here not sure how to get them on the touchpad though as it doesn't seem to be a supported device.. Any ideas? Where do I get the getjar app I don't see it on their page anywhere...
use the default android browser and make sure you have it set to mobile. when you browse to http://m.getjar.com it will auto download the apk and you can install that way

Same here, get the message "no compatible downloads for unknown android 2.3"
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
I was able to get Tapatalk, although it gave me an error the first time I tried.
I was also having issues downloading at first using Dolphin browser, but using the stock browser it worked just fine. The first time I tried to DL an app, it said I needed GetJar and linked me to the file.
do you think you can use your PC browser and the quick download code and post it here? what device do you have it set to? I'm currently set on "Free Download".

so.... how they make money on such promotions "paid for free"?
those apps are modified or all-the-same like orginal android market versions?

they're different in the fact that they are currently updated very slowly... getjar just made it available to have developers push their updates... before, you had to know there was an update and redownload the app... i got my first push yesterday, so i see it's working
getjar makes money by sponsors... you'll see them throughout the site
Same problem as other, when i search/enter the code for the app (in my case it's Tweetcaster Pro, Tapatalk and Splashtop Remote Desktop) i get the "no compatible version for my device" text which is ridiculous because i have a Captivate and the Android Market shows those apps just fine. Any ideas? Can someone post the .apk i mean if they are free its not illegal right? And also if i get the .apk, will it update automatically when with the new push system from GetJar?

Thanks, it only worked for Splashtop, TweetCaster Pro and Tapatalk keep saying the device is not compatible i mean wtf!?!? I tried with GS II and Galaxy Nexus and both say not compatible. Anyone that has already downloaded Tapatalk from the GetJar app can tell me the device they are using and the name code so i can modify the Build.prop and download the app.
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
it has worked with everything in getjar... i have a crash here and there but they all have downloaded...
if you've changed this... reboot... it took awhile for google's android market to see the change... i probably restarted 3 times... even went into webos once and back to cm7...
the only thing i've had a problem with working at all (it did download) is Advanced Task Manager
i get:
Sorry! The application Advance Task Manager (process con.arron.taskManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
edit:
just tried another app... Aces Jewel Hunt downloaded and installed but closes right after the splash screen opens
Yhea i tried with that. i wasn't able to download the Splashtop before changing the build.prop and after changing that and rebooting i could. But i couldn't download the other two apps, i mean i even tried going on the browser to getjar.com and changed my device to the i9100 and even there i can't seem to get the code for the download because i get the same message that my device isn't compatible and im talking about the PC browser. Im gonna change again to the i9100 on the phone and wait a day or so and try again from the app, i don't understand why i have to do all this the app should be compatible.
Thanks again for the suggestions though

Order and Chaos works on Droid Razr

I am playing Order and Chaos on my Droid Razr with mutlisample anti-aliasing at 1.4ghz.
***UPDATED! Safe with no problems as far as I can tell. ***
This is confirmed working on DROID RAZR and LG Esteem so far, but I expect it will work on almost any device.
1. Find the file build.prop in /system. You will need root access and a file manager like ES File explorer to edit this file. Open the file in any text editor and change this value. ***If you are having trouble at this point google how to edit build.prop file or something...**
ro.product.model=DROID3
Then Reboot
2. Download your desired game from either the android market or gameloft.com and install.
3. Once you have your game installed and working properly (make sure you have ran the game and downloaded any additional data required to play), open your build.prop file one more time and change the value back.
ro.product.model=DROID RAZR
..or for LG Esteem
ro.product.model=LG-MS910
Reboot again.
Game and phone should now work fine. This should work on all games with compatibility issues.
This is not my brain child. This information is all over the internet, but it is not applied directly to this game.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
To overclock your razr go to
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...droid-razr/page__hl__overclock__fromsearch__1
(this is not required for the Order and Chaos fix).
To enable Multisample anti-aliasing you need the pro version of Chainfire3d.
(not required for the Order and Chaos fix).

already posted 2 times before with better manuals than this:

[How to] as video on YouTube nevermind... try and fail on own risk...
Much better way is just to change your device model and than go to the gameloft homepage to buy the game... for europe just 2.99€...

Nope. It doesn't just spoof the market. It also spoofs the game your trying to install. None of these games will install on a stock razr whether you can download it from the market or not.
Also, this is not a guide to root your phone. That information is elsewhere.
A few people were already helped by this.
Please help keep XDA spam free. Think before you post!

Any chance we can get an update to this?
When I edit my droid Razrs build.prop now with ICS, it soft bricks the phone every time.....
Any update on how to do all this with the ICS or even Eclipse ROM?

Download Any App from Google Play/App Store (No Incompatible Error))

So I noticed, that Samurai vs Zombies Defence is free today, I tried downloading and it would not let me download saying its incompatible, there are couple other apps which are known to be compatible but the app store wont let you download it, I googled and noticed there is way to change the buid properties, which lets you download any app.
These are changes to build.prop file and they worked for me, I have tested it on my note and I would request someone else willing to take a risk and test this.
Requirements
1.) Phone should be rooted
So first step is to kill the Google Play App and clear data from
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Google Play Store > Clear Data.
After this open Root Explorer and goto
System> build.prop
Now I'd suggest making a back up and keep it in the sd card, (if your using Root Explorer it will also make a backup)
In case system is not Mounted as R/W do so in root explorer from the top right hand side.
Edit the file and look for
ro.product.model =
and change it to
ro.product.model = SAMSUNG-Galaxy Nexus
In the orginial article this was changed to Nexus S, I tried that, but it dint work for my phone.
Before anyone use it, I'd request a brave soul to try this, I dont think this is big deal but some testing would help.
Thanks!

Having established that Google has NFI what's compatible with my device, I'm pretty keen to perform this hack (I have a Galaxy Mini; I guess I should call it a Galaxy S or something?)...
Only trouble is, I see Root Explorer is a paid app. Is ES File Explorer (or another free app) able to remount read-only partitions as R/W?
I can't find any documentation to help me understand its interface.
EDIT: never mind, found it in the options : )

Your issue is probably not device name but:

Change it to the region of that app. Reboot your phone and try again.

Games unavailable for NC?

I have been browsing for some interesting-looking games to play on my Nook, and the last few that I've seen on Play through my PC (Skyfall, Six Guns, Sims Freeplay) have been unavailable for the Nook. What's up with that?

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.

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.

It has worked for me before, just changing model and brand, then clearing data from google play and rebooting. But I tried it yesterday for six-guns and it didn't work, I used SPH-P100
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.

Did you get six-guns working?
I don't have a smart phone T_T can't do that.
I think so. It wants to download a ton of stuff and I don't have a wifi connection right now, so I'll extra-confirm later.

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.
