Kind of overkill.
No need to change product manufacturer.
Just change the device to nookhdplus and that would do it.

Why would zinio guys blacklist Nook is beyond me, esp. since they don't blacklist e.g. Kindle.
True I agree. I didn't even know what I was doing at the time so I was following the guide exactly lol

In reality I should just change device name in my build tree, but that carries inconveniences with it, like people would need new CWM installed, I'll need to redo my build tree and so on, so just for the sake of a couple apps I don't feel the effort is justified ATM.

Meanwhile it would be interesting if people would write to the developers (well, not Nook, but say this zinio one) and ask they how come Nook is blacklisted, what are their reasons?

I read on a thread that zinio was blacklisted by Barnes and nobles due to them both selling similar products and services. My guess is that they get away with it and not with the kindle app because of how much bigger amazon is. Better to block some then none I guess.

BTW I just realized - if you change device name in build prop, you lose sound after reboot. Sigh, need to implement workaround for that.

Oh. Yea that is strange
So, if you are a subscriber/user - please write to them and ask them why would they blacklist Nooks.

I'm not a Zinio user but I tried this http://desk.n2acards.com/customer/p...-how-can-i-get-zinio-to-work-with-jelly-bean- and I could download the app and it seemed to work fine. I'm running CM 10.1.

Yes, editing build.prop and changing the 'ovation' silences the device.

I would recommend for other users trying to edit build.prop - Just download the Build Prop Editor app. Then ONLY change "ro.product.device" from "ovation" to "nookhdplus". Then reboot. At least for me, I had to clear the cache in recovery and wait through apps updating after the reboot (otherwise it simply hung up while trying to boot). What you want should now be in the play store. The other ways stating to change more information just confused my device to all hell and led to a lot of frustration on my end. The sound issue is still present, so you need to change this back when done.
