[Q] Trick Google Play Store for installing more apps?

I cannot find the original thread that explained how it was possible to trick the Google Play store into thinking my Kindle Fire device was some other tablet. I am rooted and have the Google Play Store on my device, but unfortunately I still have to do a lot of backing up apps and sideloading from my Razr M rendering the root and Play Store access on my Fire nearly useless. Just wanna be able to trick Google Play into thinking its some other device that will alow me to install more apps. I'm fairly noobish so i'll need somewhat detailed instructions.

It has to due with tweaking the build.prop.......I know twa_priv's cm10/sgt7 ROM thread has a link to a flashable modified build.prop that disguises it as a Galaxy Nexus.......wonder if it works with other ROMs?

Oh you know what, thats where I saw it. I haven't installed his ROM. I wonder if it's possible for use without the custom ROM.

Make apps think I'm not using a kindle fire

I have a rooted kindle fire running cm10. Is there any way I can play fun run multiplayer race without it giving me a incompatibility message when I start the app?

This is the link to twa_priv's ROM CM10/SGT7 which contains a link below all the ROM releases that will modify your build.prop to disguise the Kindle as a Galaxy Nexus....it might help

There is also a certain build.prop that makes apps think you're on a certain LG phone, which is better for games because you get the right screen resolution

And have you tested this on 8.4.3?

Yes it works, I have had a few reports of it on the 8.9 inch model. Luckily each kindle os works the same way so its easy to patch so it works across all of them without any specific tweaking for any given os.
