To get Sphere working on non-Nexus devices you might need to edit your build.prop file. MAKE A NANDROID FIRST!!
Thanks to aniket.sananse over at XDA:
Use a root file browser/editor go to /system and open for editing build.prop
edit the prop files...
Ro.product.model change to galaxy nexus...
Once bitten ...
Over here in the U.K. we had a very sub-standard roll out of the DesireHD last year .. oh my, was that the worst built phone I have ever set eyes on!!
HTC: Priced like Bentley, built like Lada!
I installed it through root explorer ...installed fine FC on trying to add it to a screen. - removed it
Installed it by dropping it into /system/app and adjusting its permissions - same FC!
Anyone had any joy with Weather&Clock? :confused:
