[Q] ** HD2 Free Game + Android Market Compatibilty!

[redplate]

Hi my friends!

i have something for you today and its nothing less then Brothers in Arms 2 for free! Some of you alrdy know it for sure!

http://dailymobile.se/2011/12/11/free-android-game-brothers-in-arms-2-global-front/

My problem here is that i cant install it cause of incompatibilty!

If i follow this link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftB2HM

It says:

"This Article isnt compatible with your device"

If i search the game in Market over my Mobile i cant even find it!

So i'm asking myself how to update the Market file which allows me to download this game over my mobile? Maybe tell them i have a HTC Sensation instead of a HD2 Leo. Is that possible?

Thanks for any help here

Install File Expert (file explorer).
Browse to /sdcard/Android/
Click to edit "startup.txt" & chose an editor (I use TED text editor)
Edit the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file
Browse to Internal storage /system/
Long click on "build.prop" and change permissions to get full access to the file.
Long click on "build.prop" and Open as.. text (Using TED text editor)
Scroll all the way down till you find & edit the ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file.
Exit File Expert
Open Application Manager and go to Market
Select "Details/Clear cache/Force stop"
Click "Force stop" & "OK"
Click "Clear data" & "OK"
Exit App Manager
Open the Rom Manager app.
Touch "Fix Permissions"
Re-boot


Hopefully this works! If not, try changing density to 240 (instead of 160) as many advise this is better. However a 240 density, makes display larger, while 160 is very much similar to what you now have.

Thanks for the info, but that didnt help.

I tried that 2mins ago. I have wrote the other thread you have mentioned that.

The problem isnt like with Adobe Flash Player. I couldnt install it either, but at least i was able to find it in androind market. Changing LDC Density helped here.

But i cant even find the game Brother in Arms 2 in market. So i think it has simple compatibility problems. I think i need to know how to change my mobile ID from HD2 to something different like HTC Sensation or similar.

Do you know what i mean?

I just checked and I have the same problem.
If you want to change the name from HD2 to something purely Android, you just need to edit build.prop and change the lines that contain "HTC HD2" or "HTC Leo" or "Leo" to something like "Sensation"
hopefully this helps!

Solved! Download Brothers in Arms 2 for free

ok i will try it and give feedback asap

thanks

Edit:

Ok that worked Did it by changing following values in /System/build.prop:

ro.product.model=HTC Pyramid
ro.product.name=htc_pyramid
ro.product.device=pyramid
ro.product.board=pyramid
ro.build.product=pyramid

You can leave the density (in my case 190) and the android version (in my case - ro.build.version.release=2.3.7) untouched

Downloading now. Thanks for your help!

Nah, it worked. Everything is fine now Thank you!

Edit: Starting it right now, Gameloft logo comes and asking me to download 258MB additional files

 

[Sysifos]

Happy that I could help..
As for the game, I thought that 2.5 MB listed on the Market wouldn't be enough..
Enjoy mate!
