Editing build.prop for Android

The only reason anyone should edit their build.props is because most of the apps in the store does not support their current model. Editing this build.props is rather easy, but if you mess up it would make another whole story. So, let's begin since most of your wouldn't even read these things and go straight to the editing part.

Firstly, before even beginning you should have rooted your device, if you didn't root yet, Click Here and come back to this post after you are done. 


Editing Part : 
I assume you already rooted your device, now you would need an apps for get into systems files. I recommend x-plorer file manager apps or  which you can download for free on the apps store. 

Important Note : Backup your build.props before doing this since it will make some function on your device like gyroscope or something to fucked up, SERIOUSLY. Don''t worry, when installing apps they only do compatibility check on the first run when installing, you can replace the build.props with the old one after finish installing your apps. 

Now, guide your choice of apps to explore the roots file to system > build.prop and choose the action edit. 

After that, search for these lines :
 ro.product.model =
ro.product.brand=
 ro.product.device=
ro.product.board=
          ro.product.manufacturer=

In my experience, the only thing that needed to change is the product model and brand line or just the model line since the app would check for model and there's no need to check for other stuff like brand and device. So, i advice my readers only change everything if you still have the problem of "device not supported" after changing the model line doesn't solve the problem. 

Now continuing, change the lines after the sum symbol to these values :

     ro.product.model =DROID3
ro.product.brand=verizon
          ro.product.device=cdma_solana
ro.product.board=solana
             ro.product.manufacturer=motorola

I use droid 3 since that most people say that this is the most perfect setting for editing your build.props. You can search for more brands option on the internet or specifically, Google.

  2. Have rooted your device? Make sure SU allow your file browser acces for root function, and try checking the 'write' box in the build.prop permission settings.
