How to change product properties (manufacturer, model, etc.) with Genymotion Desktop?

Licensing restriction

This feature is not available with the free for personal use edition. A paying license is required.

System property file structure

There is no system.prop in the Genymotion OS build. The system.prop file is merged with build.prop, which is partially read-only.

How to modify product properties using GMTool

To modify these product properties, you need to use gmtool with the admin edit and --sysprop options.

gmtool admin edit "Virtual_device_name" --sysprop=<PROPERTY:VALUE>

For example, to change the model property value to "new_phone" for a virtual device called Samsung Galaxy S9:

gmtool admin edit "Samsung Galaxy S9" --sysprop=MODEL:new_phone

Available properties are: MODEL, PRODUCT, MANUFACTURER, BOARD, BRAND, DEVICE, DISPLAY, SERIAL, TYPE, FINGERPRINT, TAGS. You can set multiple system properties.
