Root ###ThunderProp### Build.prop for market access! Updated 2/5/2012

So i've been using the thunder prop for about a day now and I gotta say that I'm really loving it. I am now able to download Hulu + on my device from the market and a bunch of other apps I didn't even know existed. Thanks!
 
I did revert back to stock prop and i was still able to play that i downloaded. I went to market to check if it changed back to stock in some way it did the gamelofts game are incompatible again but market still says virgin mobile htc :eek: would that stay that way even if im stock prop will it eventually show the triumph?
 
I feel there should be a clear subset of the changes that were necessary to "fool" the market. However, given that each change takes up to an hour to take effect, I don't know if I will ever be able to figure out the minimum changes required :(

How do you guys get the changes to take effect immediately? So far, all I can do is keep rebooting and check every 5 minutes...

Strange, I reboot, and it's there
 
Finally, I found out what was keeping the changes from taking effect. Apparently, the market checks not only ro.build.fingerprint but also ro.sf.lcd_density. Through an accident, I used JollyRoger87's file without changing the density to my preferred 200 (from 240), and my market worked right after reboot.

For more details:
Anyone with different LCD density and Market issue, look here - xda-developers

So in summary, my market issue was a combination of both ro.build.fingerprint and ro.sf.lcd_density. Now that I can test the changes far more effectively, I will keep you guys updated on my progress. Hopefully, I can find that minimum subset :D

Cheers,
 
@axse

Thanks for the heads up. I'll give that a try.

I'm in the middle of moving and wasn't able to respond earlier.

Regards,
 
My changes are reflected immediately and my density is still 240. As I said before you could try deleting the market data and then rebooting... THat was the procedure I used during testing but once I finally got it to show I went back and forth and realized it wasn't needed with my phone. Either way it shouldn't hurt to keep the modded build.prop on your phone I haven't touched it since it made it and everything has been just fine.

Edit: of course this should only be done for anyone who doesn't notice the changes immediately.
 
Thanks bro :) this was iust what was missing.
& for the record i just wiped the market data and cache after uploading and havent encountered any problems.:cool:

Go to manage applications and delete market data and cache that should take care of it

I didn't need to alter my build.prop any with Tickerguy's CM7 Tickerguy Edition v0.2 to see the gameloft apps mentioned...not sure about any of the others though.

I can also see them but when I try to play Order and Chaos it says my device is not compatible. I did not have that problem when I flashed the build.prop

So is Order & Chaos any good?

I tried it after the OP mentioned it in his post and got addicted to it. It's an awesome mmorpg and it has beautiful graphics. Just for kicks, I also tried a cracked version on my phone and it also wont load. :(
 
Just wondering if this changed the settings page to reflect android 2.3.4? I was really curious, because my phone showed the gingerbread status bar for a second, and my settings also show this. I am reflashing the stock. Prop file and seeing if it changes.
