[Q] Enable Auto Awesome Movies in Google+ 4.2 on S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The new Auto Awesome Movie functionality in Google+ 4.2 seems pretty cool. Here's an article if you don't know what it is:
http://lifehacker.com/google-adds-auto-awesome-movies-great-video-editing-f-1454154626
Anyway, it's only enabled on certain devices running Android 4.3 like the Nexus's. How can it be enabled on S3's running 4.3?
Here's how you see it's enabled:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

how to enable in other devices
has anyone found the way yet?

---

I'm also looking for this for my Note 2. Would love to have auto awesome movies, but it is not available on many devices. Surely someone out there has found a way to make it work on other devices?!

---

Maybe you can change your device ID within the build prop?

---

any solution?

---

I've got a Note 2 as well running Kitkat and I'm sort of pissed for a few weeks now that I can't get movies to work.

I found the solution to enable making movie feature in google photos, but you will need to have your phone rooted.
You need to edit build.prop file in /system folder in root and find and edit as following:
(be sure to backup your build.prop file first)
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=shamu
ro.product.manufacturer=Google
o.build.product=shamu
ro.product.model=Nexus 6
ro.product.device=shamu
ro.cm.device=shamu
Save the file and do a reboot and then try selecting multiple photos and click on the plus button on top, it will now show an option to make a movie, if still it does not show, reboot again it will show up.
