How to change a device product properties (manufacturer, model, etc.) with Genymotion SaaS?

There is no system.prop in the Genymotion OS build; the file is merged with build.prop which is partially read-only. To modify these properties, overload them with persist.* properties. For example, to change the Product Name (ro.product.name) property value, create the persist.ro.product.name property with the desired value.

To do so, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Connect your virtual device to ADB. See How to connect Genymotion SaaS virtual devices to ADB?

Use the command. The command is: adb shell setprop persist.ro.product.name "Your value"

Reboot the virtual device with adb reboot.

The following read-only properties can be changed with this method:
