K' brotha. Just need your help to test if Tintin and GTA3 work well on CM7 Alpha Final or not. My NT does not arrive yet.
Unfortunately I do not own those and don't plan on purchasing them. Sorry!

I have tried spoofing my nook tablet to show up as a droid 3, but when I go to the market it is now showing my device is an Unknown Unknown. I thought that I might have had a typo when modifying the build.prop file but I copied and pasted everything so I'm not sure what the issue is, any ideas?
Hmmm, it's still possible that you made an error. Go through each line manually that needed changed and verify that they read exactly as they should. Then reboot and check the market.
I am still unable to get my nook to say that it is a nook tablet or anything else for that matter. If I copy the build.prop from my droid3 would it work?
Yeah that would be great, I thought I backed it up but for some reason it still isn't recognizing it.
Tried from Google Play, says its incompatible. When I went through the browser, it displayed the device as Nexus S or Droid 3 (i tried both of the build.prop) but it was grey out and said it was not compatible.
I used the zerk rush root and did many build.prop spoofs successfully. Droid 3 and nexus s were both successful. I havr even done motorola and acer tablet spoofs on my nook tab. I had success on stock rooted and cm7 internal aplha 12 using the droid 3 changes with the most
sccess. I have done all my edits with root explorer and made the changes without using computer. I suggest trying that as your pc notepad may screw up the formatting somehow. You also could get the new cm7 alpha final which is alrrady tweaked to show more apps out of the box. I would also keep miltiple build.pro filed in my system folder and just rename the to build.prop.nexus or build.prop.droid3 or build.prop.stock. once you want to load one, rename to build.prop then go to applications, settings ,running ,google play, clear rata and cqche then reboot. You should be in good shape. Somr of the pastes in ths thread tend to cut off parts of the fingerprint id at the end, so make surr you were getting all of that. Hand typing and double checking will make this work for you
Thanks Cliff & Solar.Plexus for the advice.
I personally have CM7 final alpha on my NT already and had Droid3 as my build.prop. I'm all set
The real problem arose when I was trying to change my friend's build.prop on her NT which she insists on keeping the Nook&Zergy root method. Oh wells.
I have been using the ESFile explorer text editor to edit the build.prop. I'm not entirely sure why it's not registering the change in build.prop so that she can download Facebook app and etc (the apps that displays as incompatible in the first place) If I get the chance I'll try Droid3 build prop again, if not, I guess she's SOL haha.

I successfully edited my build.prop file to spoof a Droid 3 on Android Market. I was able to see, purchase, install, and run GTA 3 and Asphalt 6 directly from the Market.
Modern Combat 3 should run correctly too, but I won't know for sure until my 32gig SD card comes in the mail. 4gigs isn't enough space for many games. ;-)

Half the RAM aside, the Droid 3 is identical in CPU and GPU to the Nook Tablet so it seems like a superior choice to spoof from a compatibility standpoint.
IMO, the BEST choice would be to spoof a Droid Bionic (or even a Droid RAZR) since it has the same CPU, GPU, and RAM. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the build.prop to one of those to test.
Spoofing the latter would probably overcome the "incompatible game, please request a refund screen" that I encountered when I attempted to install backed up .apks of Nova and 9mm from my Droid X onto my Nook Tablet.
Directions (The standard disclaimer of doing this at your own risk applies.)
I used Root Explorer to navigate to:
Code:/system
Made a copy of my factory build.prop file on my SD card (Root Explorer should make a backup itself, but two is one and one is none. ;-) )
Pressed theon the top so I could edit the build.prop file.Code:Mount R/W
Then I long pressed on build.prop and selected.Code:Open in Text Editor
I then modified the build.prop file as follows:
Code:Ro.product.device=cdma_solana Ro.product.model=DROID3 Ro.product.brand=verizon Ro.product.name=solana_vzw Ro.product.board=solana Ro.product.manufacturer=motorola Ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/solana_vzw/cdma_solana:2.3.4/5.5.1_84_D3G-20_TA-9/110613:user/release-keys
After making the changes and saving them, I pressed thebutton.Code:Mount R/O
Note: The original permissions of the build.propSHOULDN'T change if you simply edit the original file. If they somehow do change, simply remount the /system directory as R/W, long press build.prop, press permissions, and make the appropriate selections.Code:---rwxr-x
After that I exited back to my app drawer and launched the Nook Hidden Settings app that I installed from the thread here on the NT development forum.
Then I went toand clicked theCode:Application Settings->Manage Applications->All->Market
andCode:clear cache
buttons.Code:Clear data
Finally, I rebooted, clicked on my market icon, accepted Google's terms, and then I was off to the races.
