Device name

From the play store you need to click on the gear on the top right. Go down to "Android Device Manager" and it will open the map and start to try to locate your device. Click on the triangle to open a drop down menu of all devices and find the one you want to change the name of. Click on the Pencil icon to open the "Change device name?" menu and type the new name.

Keep in mind that this will not allow you change your unsupported device name to a supported device name for a particular app to be listed as compatible. This can be done from the build.prop editor app available on the play store.

You have to change the fingerprint in the build.prop. You have to EXACTLY copy the fingerprint of another device. This may make your device incompatible with any official updates, if any are ever available.

A safer way is to use an app called market helper (http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/).

Instead of changing your build.prop fingerprint, this app provides a list of devices to choose from, then everytime your device communicates with google play, it changes the fingerprint in the message that gets sent to google.

There aren't many devices available to choose from, but there are a few good ones that make nearly all apps available.
