Spoof a different version of Android to install apps

I had a question that Googling has not answered.

I have my old S4 laying around and want to give it to my cousin to play Pokemon GO. Before I go through the process of finding a stable ROM and then upgrading/flashing said ROM, I wanted to ask the XDA community if its possible to "spoof" the version of Android the device is running.

Currently its on CM 10, which is Android 4.3.1. It appears Pokemon GO required Android 4.4+.

Is it as simple as updating the build.prop file? If so, which lines?
If not, is this even possible given the current circumstances?

Thanks in advance.

[Guide] Ultimate Pokemon Go GPS Spoof Setup

Everyone knows about Pokemon GO; most will know about spoofing your GPS too.

I have spent quite a while tweaking the more generic guides available online to get a setup that is perfect for my LG G3 and think it would help to share my findings.

Requirements
Rooted Android Device (Any ROM)
Disable Service
Pokemon GO
FakeGPS (£2.99)
Lucky Patcher (Optional)

Instructions

Open DisableService

1. Go to System


2. Search for "Location"


3. Select "Fused Location" & disable "FusedLocatonService"


4. Select "LocationServices" & disable everything inside (This might not be present on AOSP roms)
   This will stop the phone jumping between your actual and spoofed location.

Install FakeGPS as a System App (There are many tutorials out there)
*If you are using Lucky Patcher simply select FakeGPS and choose "Move to /system/app" then reboot your device

Open FakeGPS

1. Enable "Expert Mode"


2. Disable "Enable auto close"


3. Select a location

Open Pokemon GO and see your location has changed!

Tips

• Don't change your location to be very far away from your initial location, doing this may result in a softban


• Don't frequently jump between many locations, find a good spot and stick to it for a bit, close the app and then chamnge location


• You can emulate walking by selecting "Move around fake location" in FakeGPS, this will help eggs hatch


• If you get a softban, leave your location where it is and try again in an hour or so (normally 1-3 hours)

Root a HTC One to gps spoof

Hi there, I'm new to rooting but want to give it a try on my old HTC One phone with Android 5.0.2
Reason I want to root the phone is quite silly, and perhaps dumb.
I simply want to GPS spoof on Pokemon GO as there are nothing in my area of interest.
I know Pokemon GO is about going out etc. but this is just something that motivated me to try to root my first phone.

So I am wondering which root I should pick to root my phone, and later on be able to GPS spoof and make the Pokemon GO app think I'm somewhere else, without the app noticing I'm GPS spoofing, and also hiding the fact that the phone has been jailbreaken from the app.

Thank you so much in advance.

Flashable Version Spoof to Block Updates

This WILL void your warranty and I am NOT responsible for anything you do with this.

This is a TWRP recovery flashable version of the version spoof outlined in another thread (here).

This is ONLY for FireTV 1st gen version 5.2.1.0

Copy to SDCARD and flash from within TWRP.

ftv1_5210_update_block_buildprop.zip ... applies the modified build.prop

ftv1_5210_restore_stock_buildprop.zip ... restores the stock build.prop


Enjoy!

[Q] Possible to spoof architecture of device?

The title pretty much asks it all. Is it possible to spoof the devices architecture to any app that requests it? For example, if I am running Andy or Bluestacks, would it be possible to tell an app that I'm on ARM instead of x86/64, without affecting the way the app runs? Also, what other spoofing might be needed to completely mask the devices identity (haven't been in the loop with build.props and such for a while).
