How to: Access 2.1 Apps in Market (on 2.0.1 ROM)

[banden]

This is only for Rooted Moto Droids.

If you are looking to access some of the 2.1 apps such as Google Earth or you want to add some of the extra Live Wallpapers on the market place you will need to tweak your ROM a bit.

Not: DroidMod's ROM already has this in place. But other roms like steve's or AdamZ's you may need to do this extra step.

1. You should have 'Root Explorer' and if you don't, now is the time to buy it from the market place. It's like Astro, only geared towards rooted android phones.

2. Open Root Explorer

3. Navigate to /system/

4. Tap the button at the top "Mount R/W"

5. Long press on the file "build.prop" then select "Open in Text Editor"

6. Using the DPad on the keyboard move the curse down a few rows to the row that say:

ro.build.version.sdk=6

And change it to say:

ro.build.version.sdk=7

7. Tap the menu button and select 'Save & Exit'

8. You should now be back in the system folder, tap the button 'Mount R/O'

9. You're done, but you should restart the phone for good measure.

Now you can download and user 2.1 goodies from the market! Have fun!
