What is dummydroid
dummydroid is:
Dummy Droid allows you to create hardware profiles for arbitrary Android devices and upload them into your Google Play account, thereby creating a “Google Services Framework ID”.
Mocks can either be generated from the /system/build.prop file of existing hardware or be completely made up from scratch. You (may) need this tool if Google Play won’t give you access to an app because of device incompatibilities, country or carrier restrictions. You (may) also need this tool if you are an app developer yourself and want to test compatibility filter settings without actually owning the target device.
Word of warning: Dummy Droid grants you absolute freedom, including the freedom to specify absolute nonsense (such as a smart-tv with a screensize of 1 pixel). Please pay attention to the instructions and use a throw-away account for testing. Otherwise you might end up with dozens of mocks in your main account you cannot get rid of again!
