Tweaking Build.prop

My previous two posts have been were how to edit build.prop and this post of mine will let you know about the tweaks to be done to the build.prop file. Most custom roms already have tweaked the most part of the  build.prop file but none tweak it to project your phone as another phone to android market or any other app (like i mentioned of projecting my Ideos x5 as Desire HD to be able to play most of the games). 






The values which need to changed in the build.prop file are:


ro.product.model=Desire HD
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
ro.product.name=htc_ace
ro.product.board=ace
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC








once done with saving and adb reboot, you need to check whether it is actually working.
Settings < System < About Phone
Here you should see the Model tab saying Desire HD, if that is the case then the above tweak was successful.








Feel free to post any suggestions or queries.
