EDIT: After i wrote the below, I opened build.prop in my FTP program's editor and realized that it doesn't appear that the two properties ARE commented out... SO, it would appear that it's a matter of the NEW Gingerbread value for fingerprint might be the cause? What was the value under the FROYO ROM? According to the LITTLE research I've done, this property is "only" used by the market?
Bottom line... we have to fix this property to some value that will allow "Protected" apps to download from the market.
________________________________________________________________
Some of the apps I had on the stock ROM are now listed as incompatible...
Did a little research, and it would appear that the solution MIGHT lie in a hack to the build.prop file... Specifically, this property:
ro.build.fingerprint=
The CTMod2.3 build.prop file has this code:
Code:
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=SPH-M820-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD EJ06 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SPH-M820/SPH-M820:2.3.5/GINGERBREAD/EJ06:user/release-keys
Commenting out the ro.build.fingerprint property appears to be the cause of the restriction in the market, at least according to the thread I found
HERE.
Not sure why these two properties were commented out... I'm sure there was a reason, but if we could find a work-around, we could open the market back up for "protected" apps...
It's been a long time since I've done this kind of stuff, but if I can find my editors and tools and stuff, I might try to go and save the original build.prop file to build.prop.org and edit the file locally (if I can find my editor) and push the modded file to the phone, etc, etc...
