Is there an AndroidTV device that can be properly spoofed as an Android phone?

by FrancBanc

Hi, I'm working on a project, and need an androidTV device that can be altered so the play store loads all apps normally available on the phone.

I know there are 3rd party apps that can let you view the phone play store, but I need the actual play store and apps to see my device as a phone.

I can't use an actual phone either, as my project needs multiple devices with no screen that can connect to displays (not mirroring but an actual dedicated hdmi output)

If it's even possible, I am thinking would it have to be rooted and then the build prop changed (I'm going to have to look more into how to do that). If anyone's had success with this, please let me know, and any guides or pointers in the right way would be great, thank you!

Get a cheap Chinese uncertified device.

You can sideload Aurora store which is a FOSS google play store client and use the built in spoof manager. You will need a mouse to navigate it on androidTV though.
