I read that we can edit the build.prop to change the device model and fool play store but i cant get it to work on my note 2.
If i flash a different rom like DN4 it changes the device model so it is possible but how to do it without changing rom??

ive a i9300 wich i has no problems at all to instal the new bbm . but as far as i tried to manually instal the apk to some 2.3.6 phones from friends they all show "a problem has ocurred" . and obiously the installation won't proceed.
So i was wondering if there is some kind of hacking to make the apk work on devices with android version below 4.0
Obviously there is a set version that is required for a reason, the only way to change that is to decompile the apk and change the required api level.
I have imported a Huawei Mediapad Honor X1 from China. I have managed to set it to English and installed all the Google apps i need (or think i need because every time i want to use something specific i learn that some hidden Google app is needed to do the trick).
Because i do not want to reset everything to English when i reset to factory default i hoped i could find a custom rom with English as it's standard language and the playstore installed etc.
I did some hefty reading in this forum to find several things.
A) there are custom ROMs but these are work in progress;
B) there are official ROMs;
C) After i update from the stock image the DPI will change so some apps will not work and the UI will look horrible.
So based on these findings (if they are correct) i have some further questions.
1) Are there 'finished' custom ROMs that i could use?
2) Are there official custom ROMs that have English as their default language, have playstore installed and have the original DPI
3) Currently i have Build number 7D-503LV100R001C233B002 and kernel version 3.0.8-01316-gb959b08. Is there a reason to upgrade from this version? From what version will the DPI change
4) I notice that it looks like the GPS is lacking connection time (i noticed my weather app doesn't change location when i am in another city). An app like GPS tester shows that my GPS does work. So i think it has something to do with automatically checking for changes.
Does anybody knows if this is a known problem?

You could try updating to B006 or B007, which don't mess with the DPI and are still 4.2.2. I don't recall which one made the DPI change but you can read acuratslan's threads/;posts.
Root it and install Xposed framework to suit your taste.
I know many roms do not have the Samsung Chinese IME (Samsung Chinese Keyboard) , so I get the app from the lastest (newest) official Galaxy Note II LTE Stock ROM.
（三星中文輸入法 7.0）:laugh:
This is mainly provide for Hong Kong , Taiwan and China users~
It should be only for Galaxy Note II/Note II LTE(GT-N7100/GT-N7105), other devices may not support it!
However, I try to install it but I cannot install it to my Note II LTE. There may be something problem. (The rom not support?) I hope I will find it out later...
You may just try it!
***IMPORTANT: I cannot install it myself, maybe there are something missing? TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK***
Installation guide:
ROOT REQUIRED
>***This is not a flashable zip***<
1. Download the following file
2. Unzip them to the "/system/" or unzip them and move them to "/system/"
3. Go to the "/system/app/" folder and confirm there is a "SamsungChineseIME.apk"
4. Then reboot/restart the phone (If you cannot see the keyboard installed, you may need to go into the "/system/app/" folder to install it yourself.)
5. Finally, it is done.

Thank you!
ım tried all way but dont work bro...on n2 n7100
change your permission to 644, reboot then retry.
I have tried to change the permission before and I have tried several permission settings but still not work. I don't know why.
P. S. The APK file in the "system/" will not install automatically and also I cannot install it manually.
Me too

Here's a flashable version tested woking on DN4 v2 ROM (KK 4.4.4), but there are some layout issue: the size of the keyboard and the letters on the keyboard are is too big.

Edit your build.prop file in root text editor if you are running su. If using magisk search how to make a module using reset prop. You will still need to look at the build prop to know what lines you need to edit regardless
No buddy,you can change only phone fingerprint by editing buildprob,but it does not change this annoying things(BASEBAND version and KERNEL version in Setting / about phone ).Also Phone already rooted,i think there must be a file to edit these in Root,but where ? Which file is it )?
