"Mommy, what's a build.prop?" "Ask your father..."
The update of the Pocket Edge went smoothly, but produced a quirk.
The upgraded device pretends it's a Google Nexus one for the outside worlds. This confuses Google Play which has an inaccurate notion of what it is, and hoses the built-in Docs to Go office suite. Try to do anything, and it says "Unsupported device passion"
It seems passion is the model name for the Nexus device the Edge is pretending to be.
Posts elsewhere in the Entourage forum mentioned the build-prop file where a lot of this stuff is specified. You have to have a rooted device to be able to diddle it, since it's in a system folder, but the result of doing the Ermine update produces one. A quick change in an editor (the open source 920 editor), with a couple of other tweaks while I was at it, save, and reboot.
Problem solved and Docs to Go works again.
