Description

From the listing uploaded by “juniorradik”.

Make every app compatible with your Android device with Market Helper. Market Helper is a tool that makes it possible for you to change your rooted device into another, making it “think” it’s a different brand or model of phone. Why is this useful? Certain apps on the marketplace aren’t compatible with certain phones. That doesn’t mean they won’t actually work on your specific phone. Simply pick a different phone model and the system will think that's what it actually is. Whatever the brand of your phone originally is, you can fake it and change it into a Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, Sony Xperia or Nvidia Shield. After that, you’ll be able to install whatever app you want, without even having to reboot! The best part is that this is a safe process that won’t ever damage your device. Your build.prop and all your system files will be untouched and you can go back to your original device by clicking on “restore” or by rebooting your phone. Break away from the limitations of your phone or tablet and get access to a huge number of apps that weren’t available to you before. Make the most of your Android device with Market Helper.

Market helper APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Market helper APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is fcec9358e1de4fb006f250260a354e5d.
