So I rooted my kindle and installed market/play store using KFU. Now I am trying to install apps, but most apps are not compatible with the Kindle for whatever reason. I do not think it is just android version because some apps - for example Astrid work for android versions 2.1 and above - but they will not install on my kindle. Does anyone know a solution to this?
You have to change this line in build.prop ro.product.model=Amazon Kindle Fire to the galaxy nextus or something. Then clear maket and gsf data.

Ok so I have figured out how to do this. But the file managers i use to edit the file keep crashing when trying to save. I cannot edit through ADB either. I receive a "remount failed: Operation not permitted" error when trying to mount before pushing the file. Could someone give any ideas on how to solve this?
actually scroll down below the rom builds here and you will find a flashable zip and instructions for use here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010 it will modify your build properties to Galaxy Nexus also as well you can flash modaco over your existing before flashing the build property zip without losing data just make a backup for safety net first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 use the standard version not the altrom the altrom is for dual booting your not there yet

Thanks for the help from both of you. I decided that I did not care enough about prime videos to make not having jelly bean worth it - so I just decided to flash the actual rom that you linked to. Now I am having trouble with google search but I will post that in that thread.
Thanks again - the solution did work, if I did not make that clear above!
Hi!
So I'm not good with these things..
But yeah I sue Android kitchen (Dsixda's Android kitchen) for building and signing ROM.
I am not good to do those with some commands via terminal..
So the issue is that when I build ROM and finish it, updater-script has few line which makes error status 6 in CWM
nmount /data/
nmount /system/
by deleting those form it I can flash my ROM successfully but that isn't the issue!
as in title: EMMC / HSMMC
Android kitchen puts HSMMC but e.g. bigxie's ROM has EMMC.
When some Galaxy Nexus users flashes my ROM they report about bootloop, not everyone.
So something is wrong in this file and I don't know how to fix it:
Code:
# Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM/HSPA+)
change_mnt=yes
param1=ext4
param2=HSMMC
sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/platform\/omap\/omap_hsmmc.0\/by-name\/system
cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/platform\/omap\/omap_hsmmc.0\/by-name\/cache
boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/platform\/omap\/omap_hsmmc.0\/by-name\/boot
data_mnt=\/dev\/block\/platform\/omap\/omap_hsmmc.0\/by-name\/userdata
sdcard_mnt=???
fix_boot3=yes
I had to do factory reset to be able get settings.apk back.
Thank You if you can help!
So Noboby can't help..
Whatever, I try to figure it out myself..
at least I changed that file's (from dsixda's kitchen) to EMMC, now updater-script is enough better to flash ROM with no errors and it doesn't need modifying to fix error 6..
but I don't know should I modify it yet? if yes then how?
Ace 2 Gt-i8160L LATIN. How to install CM?

Replace tee folder in rom zip /system/lib with the one from stock rom
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
1) backup tee folder
2) On build.prop change all GT-I8160L to GT-I8160 (without L)
3) all wipes factory/cache/dalvik
3) Install CM_Xversion
4) Whith roo explorer replace tee folder
Enjoy.
2) also can delete assert :/
4) you can just replace in zip before flashing (just sayin)

Am located in New Zealand, and hence using model i8160L, running stock JB ROM
Am trying to modify / install Maclaw CM KK ROM -- but am having problems
-- it "reads" the ROM and "immediately" (afaik) but aborts installation
-- NO ERROR MESSAGES come up for any indication as to why it's aborting
Am trying to do the following -- appreciate any feedback to correct procedure if I'm making eny errors
(i) omitting any and all references to L in 8160L string -- should I restrict it to any particular lines? -- using Build.Prop Editor
-- the Settings/About Device shows it as an 8160, rather than an 8160L after the Build.Prop changes, but the boot screen still shows it as the 8160L -- but at least I don't get the error message about trying to install ROM on wrong device
(ii) before attempting installation, downloading the latest ROM, unzipping the ROM using 7zip, deleting "tee" folder
-- and pasting tee folder from the stock JB ROM installed on my phone
(iii) re-zipping the ROM using 7zip -- I notice I get a different MD5 to that llsted on the download page
(iv) attempting to flash the modified ROM in Recovery mode, but it aborts
Don't know enough to know if install procedure tries to validate the "to be installed" ROM's MD5 and aborts since it's different from that on the download page
Don't know what purpose of tee folder is -- is it to connect to local carrier?
How about if I try to install "unmodified" ROM (in its unmodified form) and once it's installed, if it does (?), replace the tee folder at that later stage, to check for ability to connect to carrier?
Do I need to unlock the SIM card first --- as that's also something I haven't done
(naturally, I've backed up and able to restore to what I had before attempting the install)

md5 sum change probably because you uncompressed and re-compressed file.
no you dont have to unlock carrier.
use total commander and delete first 3 lines in updater-script.(all before mount.. bahblablah) and then compress it, then try.
btw it doesnt show any status errors?

MANY MANY thanks for your very prompt reply, and further information
"status errors" -- as a result of ?? -- no status errors evident after rebooting with modfified Build.Prop
had lots of "fun" on my previous efforts with custom ROMs -- played with several on a Huawei G300 I had --
-- but, gee, this is an ongoing learning process -- now to learn about updater script !!!
(only learnt about Total Commander from your post - despite its high rating -- but note others have used other things for "text editing")
(but have discovered some TUTs on xda)
Reading more carefully through the posts I see it may be possible to flash the ROM, and then later, substitute the tee folder supplied in the Maclaw ROM with the stock JB one -- right?
I'll definitely learn more about updater-script, but I'll try to flash the ROM again without modifying the ROM === OK?

-Dont care about ro.build.model. once assert is deleted you dont have to change it. And its not mandatory.
-I recommended total commander just because its the only root browser i have that shows the assert in 3 lines exactly. Unless es etc. You can also use other editors ^.^
-like when installation is aborted, it says status 7(or 0 etc)

Many thanks -- now for the "rest" and time for tee

Many thanks!! KK installed -- that was the "fascinating" thing -- no status errors on previous failed attempt at installation -- nothing
but now it's installed -- with GApps added, and now to "worry" about the rest of it all
unsurprisingly -- if tee does what I think it does -- but I can't find a TUT on that anywhere
-- so currently, I can't connect to my local carrier, so it's currently not a :"phone" as such
even more frustratingly, computer found phone when it was first plugged in, but now seems to have lost it!! time to reboot system
-- and, it's been a while since I used CM but I can't find extsdcard!!

sorry, not used to that one -- for that matter, I tend to stay away from things affecting the system I don't know
so I'm lost in permissions in different apps -- can't find "paste" in CM file, and can't find RW permissions in ES!!
But you're being exceptionally patient! thanks, heaps
Lot easier than I thought -- and MANY thanks again

Actually, it's a lot easier than I thought -- working phone, with KK installed -- without need to unlock carrier!!

Many thanks for past help with intall procedure -- but have had repeated problems of late -- last installed ROM on March 9th -- could install several versions prior to that date, and use them successfully, but since then have been unable since I repeatedly get "Error searching for networks", and hence cannot connect to carrier, and hence unable to use phone as phone, though other functions seem to work OK, -- any ideas??
Hello, i altered my galaxy tab 3 7.0 build prop and it screwed up root. now root wont install properly. i changed my model number and name as well as some other stuff. i do not have a pc to use odin or adb. i tried flashing stock rom through stock recovery but it only wiped all my data and restored to factory settings without restoring original build prop file. upon flashing, my build prop backup was delete. would i be able to pull the build prop file from the stock rom zip and then flash the file via stock recovery? actually i do have a laptop pc but i do not have administrator rights. would i be able to enable usb debugging and replace the modified build prop file with the original build prop file from the stock rom? please let me know via email([email protected]) kik(sammyes1998) or reply on this thread. thank you
