Fake the device id - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to fake our grouper so that we can download any thing from the market?
There are many apps that detect it as a tab and they dont show on the market.
I am thinking of editing the build.prop
Anyone had a luck with it. Which phone's build.prop should we copy??

The way I do it is to upload my apk to Dropbox on my phone and download it to my N7. Make sure in security settings that allow unknown sources is checked, and install the app.

Did you tried different versions? Which type of installation you're trying to do? (with a new number, titanium back up, etc..)?
I can upload the version that i've succeed to install, if you want to give a try

I also had trouble with whatsapp on my N7, Titanium backup worked for me. (Uninstall whatsapp from the phone before you install it on your N7!)

I used TI backup to take a data backup from working whatsapp plus on my phone, and transplanted it over, and eventually managed to get whatsapp plus working on my nexus. I can't really give a guide though because i just screwed about with it until it worked. Sorry.
I also used an app called appguard, to remove the permission for whatsapp plus to read the phone model info. If you Google 'whatsapp appguard nexus 7' you'll find instructions for that part.

[Q] getting VideoEditor from Nexus4 onto Nexus7

Hi, don't quite understand the logic behind this, but Nexus4 comes with Video Editor, Nexus 7 doesn't
Have tried copying the APK and ODEX file from one device to the other and setting the permissions - does not work.
Have tried running a deodex thing, that pulls the framework and files and rebuilds it to a full apk - Does not work.
Is there any other way?
Thanks
EDIT: Got it working, and will happily edit videos on my Nexus7 that were taken on my Nexus4...
Attached APK is anyone wants it. Copy it to /SYSTEM/APP (using something like ES File Explorer) and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
It's from Android 4.2.1, so currently as new as it gets...
the video editor comes with the nexus 7 on aosp, and aosp based roms.

lol, i dont know, youre probably right. the 2 minutes i was on stock didnt give me a chance to fully check it out. the irony here is that i delete the video editor apk from /system/app/ after every flash
One mans treasure is another mans trash......cant say I wouldnt delete it as well.
But thanks for the effort just the same.

Try reflashing gapps, thats what I did when my Google play store got messed up.
Make sure to do a nandroid in case something messes up

[Q] Modifying the Build.prop

Hello There
I am really sorry if this has been answered before.
I used to have CM10 on my nexus but i went back to stock because I did not like how many of the apps because "incompatible" or saying my device was not qualified to run this app but it was when it was stock Nexus 4.
Anyways, do I just copy the build prop from a stock rom and use it with CM10 or is there just a few lines to modify in the build prop when CM10 is flashed. Any info was definitely be appreciated. THANKS!
You shouldn't have to modify the build prop on the cm rom you flash cause it comes with it already setup. What are you trying to modify?

Sorry, just as an example, I can use Hulu Plus with the stock rom, but when I use CM10 its not "compatible" and will not play.

Thats because root is detected. No build.prop edits will fix that.

Not the issue because I am currently rooted with stock rom and I can still watch hulu plus.

Your Android Version has an extra period (.) in it as well.
It might be from a rom or xposed module you're running. Its weird. If it doesn't affect the functionality of the phone then I would say dont worry about it.
Edit:
Open Root Explorer and go to System. Long press on built.prop and choose "Open in text editor". Look for "ro.product.model=SM-N900Z" and change the Z to a V. Click menu and save. Reboot and you're all set. Click thanks if I helped ?
