Exactly as the title says, how do you spoof the phone model to be able to make the market think its a different phone so I can download, well, not suck ass apps. >.<

What file does the market read to let it know what apps you can have?
I changed my build prop to read 3.2.0.0 but that still did not unlock the apps.
The app I am looking for is Google body that's only available on 3.0+.

I don't know, but did you try Googleing the apk?
It reads build.prop. But I think it may go by the GRI40 line, but I don't know what that should be for honeycomb

There used to be an app called market enabler which would allow you to spoof the market on your phone to think it was on another carrier so you could download apps that were only available to verizon or att customers. Maybe this app will work for you. Do a search.
Does anyone know how to "full" market on the optimus v? Many apps are not available for the optimus v and you cannot rent movies from the phone, (but I did get the Google videos app). I want to know if I can get the market as it is on a galaxy nexus or galaxy s 2. Any ideas?
-Thanks!

I dont know if it works out for you too. I had installed AppBrain App market and from there make a search for the desired app and click install. It will open up the respective applications' page in the Android Market and there the download and install button is available.
be thankful that market shows you only supported apps.on applanet for example you don't know what supports ur phone and what doesn't so you gotta try them all and at some point you get bored,especially when you're not that lucky.Download apps/games from rusian website,they ported lots of game and unsupported stuff for o1.
Ill try the things suggested, just for clarification I mean I would like to see ALL apps, like if you go to market.android.com
EDIT: none of them have worked, I'm not really sure how to use market enabler, I ran it, allowed super user and picked a carier market but nothing was different.

why would android only make some items available through mobile? strange.
Run the "market fix" from chainfire 3d pro.apk (rooted phones only) then u will be able to see many more games in market.

Probably best to dl and use root explorer etc to see what updated date wise for specific folders, haven't tried yet but should be easy..

I did that before asking. If you find something please let us know.

Android/Google maps/cache..
The files are not named anything that you would recognize but time and date confirms, also it looks as tho offline storage auto deletes itself in 30 days. There is an older version (Google Google Maps 6.8.1 ) which allows storage and real use of offline maps using other apps..rnmaps I think..
Hope that helps

You "do" have multi DPI market installed?
Try removing then sign back in to Google acct.

I flashed the multi DPI with justinbean and I'm on 4.2 so how would I remove that

Settings>accounts>Google>press your Google screen name>menu key>remove account

Then sign back in without removing multi DPI?

Okay. So I wanted to change up the build.prop settings with a root explorer, and I know how to get there and everything. I actually have it open right now. I'm just confused as to what to change what to.. Any help would be appreciated.
Should probably include this.

I may not be experienced with build.prop, but I would think you'd need to indicate what it is that you're trying to achieve...
I'm sorry. Trying to bypass the whole "Your device isn't compatible with this version" thing on the Play Store.
