Root Better build.prop

[lEquin0xl]

I am in need of build.prop configuration that lets me play most graphic intensive games. I edited my build.prop only this much

Now I was thinking now that the Nexus 4 is out if we could use its build.prop for even more playable apps.

Yes that will make more apps show up in the PlayStore but most won't even work because you'll be downloading Galaxy Nexus Files for your apps and it definitely won't work since we have both different CPUs and GPUs


If you really want more compatible apps you should change the build.prop settings to a Newer and more popular Snapdragon S3 phone ....... Your best bet will probably be the Sprint Evo 3D build.prop settings

Which phone's build.prop does your Rom have ? Sprint one right?

Oh I get it, lets see what I can do.

Nope the Virgin one since this is on the Virgin Network....... And so there's no problems with apps and your purchases

Mobstergunz is absolutely correct, you can't just modify the build.prop to the latest greatest device and expect the apps to work, they might show up in the Play Store but that's about all that this modification would accomplish. Also there are quite a few more entries that have to be changed besides the ones shown in the OP.

Equinox this is totally unrelated but do you by any chance play Gears of War 3 and if so I think we played each other...

So how would I go about playing games like GTA 3 or others?

You might be able to get away with modifying it the way that you want to so that you can download the app(s) you want and then modifying it back before you run the app(s). Maybe. On a good day.
