Hi, i'm actually looking for a solution in bad graphics for the game "Minion Rush Despicable Me". I think the phone can handle the hd settings and also i found that we can change device's name in build.prop to"fake" a Galaxy s4 or something like that to improve compatibily for some apps in Play store. Is it true? Cause i'm trying to do so but when i reboot, my device name is still "Htc desire X" after I changed it.
Thanks for helping me!

the app compatibality part is true, i do it alot but as OneX or OneS but i used an app called markethelper or marketspoofer or something like that (its on xda somewhere) not too sure about the enhanced graphics though (i heard this before aswell)
So you don't have to rewrite build.prop? The app does it for you? What did you use and does i work please ?

People, I want to download a particular application, it is not "compatible" with my device, but it works fine, have already downloaded the app from third parties, but this application now was updated and do not found it anywhere, only in the market, but not let me download.
I've been reading about the market hacked, that would allow downloading app not compatible with my device? is to do this?

I tried searching for it on the market via my PC and it too says that its not compatible with my mini so I guess theres nothing you can do, maybe the new release isn't made to be used on our little phones. You could try the market hack but I doubt it would help you because WOW remote might have be written for HDPI (big screens) and not LDPI (our small screens) and so theres no way that it would work.
Its just one of those things buddy, not all apps are compatible with our phones, maybe they're jealous of our awesomeness and don't want to share!!
Then again, I may be wrong (about the compatibility... not the awesomeness)

The old version might have worked on HDPI and LDPI but the new only supports HDPI because the majority of android phones are HDPI
I'm not really sure what a market hack does, think its to allow you to either to download apps made users of phones on certain carriers (AT&T etc.) or to download/ unlock paid apps... which is NOT COOL and WRONG!!
It won't effect the compatibility problem you having, if its not compatible with your phone then no "hack" will make it compatible, bottom line.
I could be wrong, Google might hold more accurate answers...

It just fools Google into thinking that you have a phone with an hVGA display. A lot of apps meant for hVGA displays works great on a qVGA, it's just that the app developer hasn't enabled it for qVGA screens. So it might work for the app you're trying to download.
I am enlightened
Thank you
There is a hack going around that I have been playing around with that unfortunetly I have not been able to get working. It is an edit for the Build.Prop file in \system. (this does require a root and some sort of root explorer) (I've tried some of the other "hacked" APK's, but I can't deal with crappy video)
Take a quick look at this article on Reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/
After looking at that for a while I started tooling around.
Changes I made :
ro.product.model=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)
ro.product.model.internal=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung (Replacing motorola)
So basically, this is supposed to fool the device check by making the application think you are using an accepted device. Like I said I haven't been able to get it to work. If anyone can see any other changes to make, any input would be appreciated. Hopefully we can get this working and share it with the community, until Netflix decided to come to their senses.
I've attached the Official Netflix app if anyone needs it
Already a working app..
Someone already posted a APK that bypasses the check.. there are video issues with colors, but that is the Atrix screen not the App...
also i'm pretty sure root explorer is a paid app, so posting that here violates terms and conditions

How is it the screen? (not arguing, I just don't know)
I was hoping that this might just fix that problem

It something to do with either hardware acceleration of how the app handles teh qHD screen. the Watch ESPN app does thes same thing.
also this method is not a good idea when compared to using the modified APK, because you are editing your actual system files through this way. and as said before this has been discussed and a different way found already on this forum.

The Atrix has a higher resolution screen than every other android phone currently available. An app, especially a graphically intensive video app, has to be designed to scale up to this resolution. Not to say it can't work, just doesn't yet.

Thanks downloading right now
I had success getting Netflix to work on Viewsonic G-Tablet running CM 7.0.3.
I used the instructions posted by natemckn at reddit. As a noob, I'm not able to post links to the XDA forum (yet), so you'll need to search for the instructions on reddit or google. The post is titled "[ROOT] How to edit your build.prop to make Netflix work on unsupported devices."
Specifically, I modified these two lines in build.prop:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Also, I moved NetFlix to my external SD card.
Rebooted, everything works like a champ.

If you don't care about using Google Play Music 5.0:
Find old apk (4.5.9 I think)
Uninstall 5.0
Turn off automatic updating in market
Install old apk
???
Profit
This is the only thing I did, wasn't too wowed with the new features of 5.0.
I also don't know what it would take to add the functionality to 5.0 :/
Hope this helps.

Ok well the no updating might not be possible from editing the 4.5.9 app.
I looked around the 5.0 app and it definitely doesn't have the Tungsten support files so it isn't just missing visually
I'm wonder what is involved with porting the Tungsten code to the 5.0 app...

It may be built out but disabled, maybe because they had to disable it to get the contracts for Google music unlimited access.. Wonder if there is a labs type thing in Google music...

Hi guys,
you know how to hack a server-sided apk app? Please tell me, because i'm searching for that for 1 year but never found it.
I know that's the best developer's forum and i hope you don't ignore my question or fooling around.
Thanks.
Oh.. if you know something about making a mod of that apk app tell me please.
(Monster Warlord is the apk i meant)
DISCLAIMER copyright claims are n easy thing!
1. "server sided apk", can't be hacked, at least you have to hack the server itself, depending on what data you want to modify and where the data is computed - on client or host side.
(tried something similar with the ingress apk )
2. to modify an android application you should have programmed one at first - or know about the structure of such an app, for reengineering purpose.
2.1 decompiling:
http://modstorm.co/how-to-decompile-android-app-with-apktool/
2.2 yes this the heavy load, what to do now depends on what app you want to modify and what in the app - up to you!

Thanks but after i decompilate my apk, what to do? I'm trying to hack a server-sided apk, remember that! Because i don't have reasons to modify a client-sided apk! It really makes no-sense.

It is possible to mod the prises in the apk?
For example, the price of gems es 50usd, and you mod the prise just for 1usd... You are going to pay real money with google play store so that should work?
*facepalm*
No, your missing the point...but lets for the sake of arguement say there was a so file in there with the prices u can mod them all day long an as soon as u connect back to the SERVER...poof all that wasted time..if u dont have physical or atleast a lan line to the server u cant do much on their end.

Other than a custom rom or knowing how to decompile the apps and edit out the coding, probably not. Only possible easy solution that might or might not (probably not...) would be to make sure the locale is set to an English speaking country using something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale
Thanks.
I am not intimidated my code as such (fluent in c++) but it'll take some time to understand android... Any idea which app I should look at? considering android is open source, I can probably patch the change in, create a replacement app and see if that works...

It's most likely either in something like a LocationProvider.apk (/system/apps) or the phone/dialer apk. If you are rooted, I'd try and free the LocationProvider,apk and see if that doesn't help. Try the easy stuff first. But I'd poke around in a thread like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891962 or something similar that deals with this idea on porting Chinese roms to English.
Or you could just be lazy and see if installing another Contact/Dialer app from the Play Store just circumvents the whole deal.
Already tried using a caller id app, its more of a hit and miss... I was wondering what would happen if I just happen to replace the apps you mentioned from those of stock android? does that make sense?
