Kernel: 2.6.27
Build: 1.76.405.6
Can anyone help me? lol
Where is the build.prop file? Can we access it using a file manager (astro) or does it have to be done through ADB?
If ADB only, could someone please provide directions?

What exactly are you trying to find out here? If it's an operator branded Hero, it will have... operator branding!

Ahhh...mine isn't branded. Just says HTC
Actually, looking at the Orange website, it appears that Orange haven't applied any physical branding to the phone, whereas my T-Mobile unit has a T-Mobile logo on it.
What colour is your Hero? AFAIK, all Orange UK ones are graphite.

Thanks for the instructions through ADB. Before I try that, I thought I'd give it a shot from Astro File Manager and it worked and I found the build.prop in the System folder.
Confusing though... Mine says its out of 'Rogers' and I know Rogers doesn't have the Hero. I wonder if Paul (Modaco) is using it on Rogers and since I have his ROM on my Hero, that's what it says...true?

Yep I'd agree with your synopsis I too have used modaco's update and my build.prop also has rogers in it however it is in a commented out part of the text so will not cause us any problems so don't worry about it.
I am grateful to modaco for producing this rom as it a a hell of a lot better that the rom that the hero came with!!
suppose if you want the original build.prop you could take a nandroid backup, then restore your backup from before installing modaco's rom (that you should have taken) check then restore back to the first nandroid backup.
Then again are we trying to identify the hardware, if so I'm not sure the hero comes in different flavours (yet) apart from the sprint one which seems to quite different but still may have the same hardware.
Anyone know how we can change this text? XML location?
This rom gives you the option to personalize the carrier text AOKP V9

Edit it before you do. You need to change number 262 (=Germany) to the number for your country and the following 01 (= T-Mobile) to the number for your network.
At the end of the line you can enter the text you want to appear. Push it and reboot, enjoy
This works with EVERY Rom

That's OK, it won't be there. Just copy it there so it will be recognized
It doesn't have anything to do with GSM or LTE.
I just realized that you can start Market Enabler and it will tell you the correctly number

Thanks for the info! I'm still a newb. My family & friends think I'm a genius (rooted their D.Incredible, D2, Eris, etc). But none of it's possible without the knowledge on XDA. Still learning, and hoping to learn more. Thanks for the info on how to change the banner info, too!
If you want to customize/edit the banner I can confirm this method works 100% with the Gnex
http://d-h-o.us/home/?p=282
I have found the best way to flash it is to create an update.zip or to find file in the ROM you are using and flash it with the ROM. By doing this you lose no data, no need to restore any setting.
The method I posted on my site will nuke your account data (aka just sign into google again).
I have a VZW GNX.
The first method did not work, tried all the numbers I found for Verizon, unless I did something wrong, heh.
DHO's method, when I look for "64…Verizon Wireless" it's just "64...65..." on the Nexus.
So I'm assuming it's pulling the 'Verizon Wireless' information from something else. It would be nice to find that.

I'll update my write up over the weekend as it is for the OG, but look for
HTML:
EriInfo......Verizon Wireless...64...65.
So in the Gnex it is immediately before 64

This is what's in the stock one now:

Nevermind that was a different one I had here, my bad.
I'm going to pull the one off the phone now.

I am still running a stock 4.0.2 based ROM. When I look at some of the ASOP 4.0.3 that I am playing with, one has google, one has verizon. Changing whatever comes before ...64...65 will edit both the lock screen and the tag at the bottom of the notification bar.
CM9 based ROMs seemed to have moved this value to a different file. It would take some digging to determine where they move it to.

Thanks for linking to your great write-up! I followed it (for the most part), and it works...until my screen shuts off (from no activity), and then it goes back to Verizon Wireless. I've tried it two different ways (I'm currently on Deoxed Stock ICL53F with APM & Softkeys):
1. I edited the eri.xml, repackaged it in the APM .zip (since I found that installing other framework-res.apk's broke the APM). Re-flashed the APM .zip, and the new banner "Galaxy Nexus" stuck until the screen shut off. Back on, and it's back to VW
2. I just repackaged the framework-res.apk, and took it out of the APM.zip. Placed it in the "sdcard" section, copied in Root Explorer, and pasted into /system/framework/. After a reboot, same this as #1.
So, how do I get it to stick? Does it have anything to do with the ROM I'm on? Or with APM? I feel like it should work, but something's just not sticking...ugh...
SpinDisc, I'm not sure. I think it may be a function of APM. I have been trying to replicate that bug and I cannot. What launcher are you using?
I cannot replicate it running a ROM compiled from Pete's 4.0.2 AOSP source and NOVA launcher. I will further explore this over the weekend.
This weekend I plan on testing/modding a few different 4.0.3 ROMs, if I find any nuances I will let you know.
If you're rooted, you can use Root Tools.

Hi guys, I'm very confused:silly:
why there is no support for this variant??
is it undefeatable or you are too lazy people?
please where are the experts, professionals, anyone
please interact with any advice
I'm also searching two months for recovery mod for D856 but still can't find anything. Can't install xposed framework and other stuff through recovery mode, so please help someone.
Are you rooted? IF yes then check this app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd858hk&hl=en ) Download and INstall it. The go to your build.prop . Change the model number to D858HK. Then Open the auto rec app and follow. Done mate.

You have to reboot after changing
search for Lg One Click Root and do via PC ! for custom recovery
go to build.prop and change all D856 mentioned to D858HK the auto rec will detect your device correctly if not, then try manually! thanks
Thanks a lot

Split screen (multi window) will be added in Android N. Unless you mean screen casting, which is done in settings HTC Connect.

Updated and I have option now.
I know I'm bumping an old thread but it's possible on stock ROM as long as you're rooted.
Set system partition r/w in twrp or via adb.
Edit the build.prop line:
ro.build.type=userdebug
(old value =user)
Then goto "settings>developer options>advanced" and check the "multi-window mode"

Glad you did! Works fine on S-OFF/Rooted Verizon running Viper 2.8. Actually just used Root Explorer and navigated to build prop in system/customize and edited that line then rebooted. Profit!

Frankly you probobly shouldn't mess with your build.prop if you don't already know the basics. You could easily bork your phone.
I'd spend some time searching the forums and learning before you try editing the prop.
Best of luck to you.
I just installed leedroid and multi window was available in the developer options (I didnt make any changes build prop). I have it selected but it doesn't seem to be working. In the recent apps menu it has the segmented box on each recent app (which i think means the multi window selector) but when i tap it it does nothing. I cant figure out how to multi window. Any help?
Hello! I upload a capture of all the errors. I'm very interested in solving the IMEI. Thanks for your help!
On stock firmware does it show a correct IMEI?
If so, the problem is random flashing.
Do you have backup of the .cert and or .efs files?
If so, search on how to use them.
If you know the IMEI and it is network blacklisted, use a service for unlocking it. Online you can find it.
I hope I helped.

I don't know if it helps, but when I flashed a Combination for my phone, when i had an unknown IMEI, it showed me one working and network working too but I don't know if you can make use of that IMEI or even if it is valid.
And solved my unknown IMEI just by flashing last stock rom.
If you have your phone rooted, you can extract those files via adb, plenty of tutorials online.

Hm what is left is just to flash stock, keep it in a wifi connection 168 hours and then flash twrp for rooting the phone and getting those files, lets hope they are not corrupted.
The waiting it is because samsung have seven days as the time.for the bootloader to be unlocked and allowing the phone to be modified.
Good luck.
Also, if you are interested in more details about the waiting for rooting:
