For 2.2 Market issues, use this mod.

[Beesley]

For those of you having trouble seeing protected apps, I modified our fingerprint in the build.prop. What this does is spoofs the market into thinking its seeing a Droid 2 (with Froyo) It worked for me, let me know if it does for you.

1. Put build.prop into your AndroidSDK\TOOLS folder
2. Connect via USB.
3. CD (Navigate) in CMD to your tools folder

Mount your /system (adb remount) works for me
Copy and paste this

4. adb remount

5. adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

6. adb reboot

To test before you push the build.prop fix, search the market for Us Bank. If only 2 or 3 show up, you are not getting the full market. After this fix, you should see 10 items listed when you search for Us Bank.

Hope this helps.

Fixed Market Build.prop

Edit: Here is a "clean" build.prop for those of you who do not want the stagefright fix (which breaks video playback) Sorry, I was not aware it did that. Thank you.

Non Stagefright Build.prop


For everyone flipping out about Birdmans tweet and you want the stock build.prop, here ya go
Stock Build.prop

You only need the stock one if you ever plan on doing a factory reset. But, you also cant do a factory reset if you have removed or renamed apps so I feel that should be mentioned. If you've done any modding and you are planning on upgrading, your best bet is to always use the SBF anyway. I dont think birdman realizes the panic he sets in with one little tweet. Factory resets suck anyway. But then again... "you decide..."



Thanks to Jcase for giving me the original idea way back when. I just basically applied his Eris Market Fix to work with our phones.

This is the modified line in his build:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2/FRG01B/45394:user/release-keys

from

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow/shadow:2.2/VZW/23.9:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

FRG01B is the Droid 2.2 system. Scanned through for anything disimilar, looks legit to scared people. Alternatively, just modify this part yourself for safety, it's on line 31.

Don't see why you can't just root explorer move it to people who don't like adb.

You can use root explorer. If your still rooted! But yea this is the long way.

[Metalheadzaid]

Confirmed to work as advertised. I manually did this on my phone and it works just fine. I can now download dolphin HD/launcher pro via searching rather than looking through the lists.

[X-tac23]

Yes confirmed just did it also!

[dimachka]

Thanks. Did this and indeed works as promised.

How do you do it threw root explorer?

How do you do it threw root explorer?

Clicking and holding usually gives menus when you're selecting files. That's how android works. Now, with root explorer, if you're rooted, you can change mount r/o to mount r/w in the top right corner. Do that. Now go copy the file (make sure it's on your SD card), navigate to /system and paste it there. It probably will ask if you want to overwrite or some crap. Do it. Reboot. Kbye.

Thanks bud. Used the RE method and works great now. Never easier.
