Guest Kevon2 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 yeah you will need root explorer. then go into the system folder a edit the build.prop file by changing the ro.product.locale.region=GB to ro.product.locale.region=US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaysFreaky Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 There something to do in the build.prop file There is .co.uk server... You must set it to .com server.. Because Steve is British There's no co.uk in there. There is, however, ro.product.locale.region=GB. Switch that to US. I have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest untrueparadox Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 ro.product.locale.region=GB set it =US and theres another one for the date you should change, the dd-MM-YYYY, swap it to MM-dd-YYYY also, if youre getting slow fixes on the gps, download the app FasterFix (requires root) and set the ntp server to north america.

Guest SKYSCRAPER04 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 yeah locale switch actually works and i thinks its better than editing on the build.prop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest untrueparadox Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 the build.prop edit makes the change permanent. this is what differentiates the UK and US software. if you factory reset, the change will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alfonsomm Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 How do you set read write permissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fone_Fanatic Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) How do you set read write permissions In root explorer? just tap the "Mount R/W" on the top :unsure: Also first thing i do after flashing steve's roms is edit the build.prop, i suggested it in his thread over at xda Here are the edits i make: ro.product.locale.region=GB to US ro.com.android.dateformat=dd-MM-yyyy to MM-dd-yyyy ro.build.oemversion.customer_conf=o2 to att There were a couple more that'd i'd change in previous builds but looks like thats all for v1.5.3 also take note of what you change, for example if you edit ro.product.brand=dell to Dell swype will stop working.
