I am trying to turn an old Samsung Galaxy S8 into a TV box. I want TV apps to be available in Google Play (like YouTube TV), but they are still showing as unsupported even after changing build.prop.

I copied these fields from the Nvidia Shield TV build.prop:

  • ro.product.model
  • ro.product.brand
  • ro.product.name
  • ro.product.device
  • ro.product.manufacturer
  • ro.build.fingerprint
  • ro.build.characteristics=tv

I cleared Google Play's data and rebooted the phone, but YouTube TV is still shown as unsupported.
