need help bypassing playstore compatibility restriction

seed187

Lurker
I want to play the latest version of samurai vs zombies on the my samsung transform ultra. I played it before so I know it works on my phone but the Play Store doesnt let me download the latest version. I managed to download the game by downloading it off the amazon market but they havent included the latest version to their market.

Is there any way of bypassing the the compatibility restriction from the Play Store? My phone is rooted if that helps resolve it.
 
Yes, all you have to do is edit your build.prop and change it so that it says you have a different device.


You'll have to do some research to determine which devices are compatible and what lines you need to change to reflect that
 
I use a Samsung i9100 build prop foot print so I get access to all the good games and apps.

here is it edited for my tablet, what you need to change for yours, you need more tech help as I don't know.
