Hi all, Does anyone know of an app or xposed module that would spoof build.prop (to detect a different device name) on a per app basis?
I want to use a mobile payment app through my banking institution but it only works with ancient phones and I don't want to update build.prop as I'm using it for the PS4 remote play stuff.
Thanks in advance!

Try that: http://techcookies.net/how-to-fake-android-to-think-you-have-a-different-device/
This is for market. Not an app
Tried looking for you but found nothing of the sort.
What you could do is make a script of somesort to temporarily change your build.prop. Making an app with two buttons that execute the command can't be that difficult.

AT&T has finally released a FireTV Uverse app (seems to be a lot better then the PlayStore Uverse App), but like other apps it comes with a root checker that blocks video playback.
It gives the following error, “Playback not allowed because device is not secure”
I know others have come across this problem with other apps that do the same root check. Has anybody found any workaround for this ???
I know there are some "hide root" kind of apps on the PlayStore but I am not sure which would be best for a FireTV. Or if they even work at all.
Any info would be appreciated... ty
You could use hide root applications ex. Rootcloak, hide my root, etc. But ultimately unless the actual application is modified to hide root detection in code your chances are slim to non basically. On xda I've seen certain applications that were modified to work with root ex. Time Warner. But then the developer pushes a force update. Also developer can write new code to make sure app hasn't been tampered. Hope that helps.

Right, Was just wondering if anybody had tested out the hide my root type apps on a FireTV already. Seems most of them have not been updated in a long while.
did you get a solution for this? thanks.

Sorry but since I refuse to un-Root any of my 1st Gen FireTV's the only solution I found was to purchase some FireTV Stick's when they are on special ($25) & connect that to a separate HDMI port to use for Uverse & or any other App that wont work correctly on a Rooted device...
Another option would be to Display Mirror the Uverse App from a phone or tablet to your FireTV.
Hi,
When I search for apps on Google Play, quite a lot of software are not available, compared to other tablet/phone (e.g. Samsung).
I can manually install the apk and it works fine.
Is there anyway to make those software show up on Google Play?
Thanks

Try the Market Helper app. It works well for me (it did, anyway), but YMMV. Make sure you've got root access enabled in developer settings and/or SuperSU installed, as the app requires root to do its job.

Thanks. Which device do you choose to fake? There are only 3 tablet options.

I usually choose to fake/emulate one of the phones in the Phone section (the HTC One X+ works for my purposes, but you may want to change that if the Play Store blocks apps you're interested in). Make sure that, if you're using a Marshmallow/CM13 ROM, you grant the Market Helper app access to contacts, phone, and storage via the app's listing in the system settings; without those permissions, it can't do what it's designed to do. Also, when the app sends the device info over to the Android Device Manager servers, you may get an error message saying it can't send the device config (this happened to me recently, but I was able to successfully spoof the device in the past). In that case, the app won't work until the developer updates it, and you'll have to use the old-fashioned manual apk download & install process (or use a third-party app store).
Thanks for the tip on permission. That error did pop up.
Once the spoof is activated, Google Device Manager did show the latest activity is from the fake device. However, Google Play Store still hide the apps. For example, Plants vs Zombies 2. Tried several devices, including those I have for real and have the app in Play Store but none of them can pull out the apps.
Is there any other steps?
Thanks

Clear the cache for the Play Store app, and also try force stopping the Google Services Framework app. After that, if you still can't get it to work, try giving the device a couple hours to let the Play Store adapt to the device spoof.

Tried all suggestion, except the clearing cache does not work on CM13. Still not getting the apps showing up.

which CM13 ROM/build are you running? You might want to clear app data for the Play Store if you can't clear the cache itself. Also, I'm pretty sure the device spoof is reset on reboot.

Hi All,
I am playing this GPS based game and would like to try something. Anyone have a good recommendation on a app that can fake GPS on games? root app would be awesome since the system is already rooted. One that actually works would be great.
any recommendations?
Use mock location?
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Location Spoofer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ajeje.fakelocation
I think you need to activate Fake Locations in Developer Options
Haven't tried it on the 10 yet.
I tried a few apps from the app store, i did enable mock locations. However when i launch the game it says unable to determine GPS location. I did change the accuracy mode to see if that has any effects. Any ideas or suggestions?
Well maybe the app checks if mock locations are activated and blocks it?

Hi all
I've been looking for a custom rom that still allows me to use apps like Microsoft company portal.
As I haven't been able to find one I was wondering, in general, how an app detects all the things in the screenshot.
Safetynet is under control but it's the su binaries and dangerous props that have me puzzled. Is someone able to explain how all these detections work? Or point to a place where it's all explained?
Regards
Mrhubris
what app is that you're testing with?

It is called root beer app to detect root library. You can find it in play store. Here goes
Rootbeer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample
I was looking for something that could "scan" for criteria that an app developer could call risks and close down the app for using in those situations.
It seemed to fit my purpose. Now I am looking if I can find a rom that is able to "play nice" when it comes to those things.
I love the extra customisation that a custom rom provides and I miss it incredibly in stock roms.
Fyi: magisk did take away things like safetynet but others like su binaries still got detected.
I've always had a rooted phone so always had the option to change fonts for free.
It's there anyway to do this without paying?
I was just looking for fonts last night. Great minds think alike.
my rom has fonts
the samsungsans.apk it contains can be placed in a module and sent to /app - that will give you over 1200 fonts to f### about with

There is an app called zfonts. This will give you all the fonts-1000's - xda, google and so on.
Few steps but the app will guide you through it.
Been using it for at least an year after I stopped rooting phones.

That's great thanks, using it now! It's got ads in it though, I haven't seen an ad in yearrrrrrs! I've always had a system wide ad blocker lol
I don't like the non root ad blockers, using a VPN or DNS etc.
I use Firefox now with an extension but obviously that isn't system wide
