Root How to make the play store recognize motion as another type of phone

[savtattoo]

I know it can be done, but don't recall how to change the way the play store recognizes the type of phone. I want to have it read my phone as a Nexus4 to get past a compatibility problem....
Any ideas?

Might have to edit build prop. Idk saw that done on tablets before if I remember right

I believe you change the build prop

Only found 2 settings in the build prop that had the model number in it.... Seems like there would be more to it than just those. Guess I'll try those in the morning... Hoping someone that knows for sure will post some instructions here...

For some reason when i change the product model to the s4 style ( ro.product.model=GT-I9500) the internet pages don't load.. Anyone know why??

I saw that only google and facebook load.

If you Google device spoofer that should also work. It also makes your comp think it's what ever device you are spoofing, but you can still connect to it. I use it for the optimum cable app and it works fine.



I might still have it on my phone pm me if you need it.

theres an app that patches google play. i can't mention it on here but a hint. it's a lucky app.
