Could any of the verizon owners please provide a copy of the MediaHub.apk app as well as a copy of their build.prop just to verify the setup to use the apk on non verizon tabs. Thanks

Anyway you can share your build.prop or take a screen shot of it. I installed the app changed my build.prop to show as verizon tab but app won't open. If anyone else can share your thoughts, thanks.

Did you install it by copying it to system/app and then rebooting or did you install it as a user app? If you copied it to the system/app directory, did you check the permissions of the file first?
HTH.
So i tried to modify the build.prop by changing GT-P6800 to SCH-I815 to spoof the app into thinking its installed in a Verizon tab but no luck. Any suggestions?

You should uninstall it as a user app and use adb to push it to /system/app/ directory.
to check permissions:
adb shell
ls -l /system/app/filename.ext
where filename.ext is the name of the apk.
Compare it to any of the other files in the /system/app folder
do
ls -l /system/app
The thing is that I don't know how to use adb, but I have already copied it to the system/app. I don't know what else to do for it to work, that's if it even will work. It shows up as com.Samsung.mediahub.apk

So i used the ls -l /system/app on terminal emulator and noticed that all the apps contain a .apk and .odex extention, I also noticed that mediahub does not show up even though its in the system/app. If i click on com.Samsung.madiahub.apk I can select to install it but it says its already installed. Anyone with more knowledge if they can help me sort this out. Sorry for being such a pain in the @$$

This is how the app is saved

These are the permissions, not sure what that means

The short answer is those permissions are fine.
If you want a bit more detail, unix filesystems have three permissions per file, and each permission assigned to three categories of users. The permissions are read, write, and execute, and the user categories are owner, group, and everyone, respectively. So you have rw-rw-r-- meaning that the owner (usually root for android files) and everyone in the file's group (in android terms, anyone with the permission to read/write the sd card) can read and write but not execute the file, and everyone can read it. The last one is the most important, that everyone have read permission. If you're wondering why an app doesn't need "execute" permission, just remember that permissions are a low-level filesystem construct and apps are actually packages of higher-level stuff. Execute permission is only relevant to native binaries (think .exe files in Windows) and scripts (think .bat files). The latter is relevant if you ever modify your init.d scripts, as they need to be executable.
As for why the app isn't working, I have no idea. You could try to change your build.prop again with SCH-I815 instead of SCG-I815 like you seem to have currently (at least, according to your forum signature thing). I'm not surprised that Samsung would lock down their hub apps per device though. Have you tried media hub apk from SGS2 or something similar?
You know what I thought I had changed the build.prop back to read gt-p6800 but I guess I didn't, thanks for that. I did make changes to the build.prop to read sch-i815 as per another member that provided their verizon build.prop and i kept getting screen refreshes so i had to restore the system. I don't know what else to try. I am sure it could be done as I was able to do it on my original tab using mediahub and build.prop from att tab and run it on tmobile tab and it worked so i thought this would be the same. If i where to use the mediahub hub from the sg2 I would be stuck in the same predicament. Hopefully someone whit a lot more knowledge can shade some light. Thank you for the info and help.

You might want to just flash the rooted, deodexed stock rom found in the development section rather than try to piece together stock again. The apk I posted earlier was from my own debloated, deodexed rom.
Then loose ability to get Samsung update if i do that
