You can then install apps compatible with that device. Once it’s installed, open the app and you’ll be able to spoof a popular device like a Samsung Galaxy S3 or a Nexus 7. This app isn’t available in Google Play, so you’ll have to grab it from the developer’s website and sideload it. (However, bear in mind that it also requires root.) The new Market Helper app allows you to spoof another device without editing your build.prop file. We have already described how to edit your build.prop file manually, but there’s now an easier way. The process will be different for other devices. We have previously shown you how to easily root Nexus devices with WugFresh’s Nexus Root Toolkit. Note that you’ll need to be rooted to use this trick. This will allow you to install apps that are marked as compatible with the other device. if you have a rooted Android device, you can edit the build.prop file and make your device appear to be another device entirely. Bypass Device RestrictionsĪndroid devices include a build.prop file that identifies the model of the device. You will see incompatible apps when searching on the Google Play website. They just won’t appear in the search results. Note that you won’t see incompatible apps when searching via Google Play on your Android smartphone or tablet. Some apps may actually be incompatible with your device, while other apps (like Hulu) will only work when used within the US (or with a US VPN or DNS service like Tunlr.)
For example, Google’s Chrome browser requires Android 4.0 or higher.īear in mind that simply installing an incompatible app won’t necessarily make it work.
For example, you can’t install the Hulu Plus app outside the USA, and some online-banking apps are only available in the bank’s country.
However, they may run just fine on unsupported devices.
