Default [Q] Purchase Incompatible Apps?

Does anyone know of a (working) method to purchase incompatible apps on the E4GT?

Basically, I want to purchase Chameleon Launcher for my Transformer Prime...but I'm broke and would like see if it is possible to purchase it somehow from my E4GT so I can bill it to my carrier for now and then download it later from my tablet.

And then obviously I can keep the method in mind for future tablet purchases via my E4GT.

So...any clues?

Oh and I've already tried the build.prop edit that's listed everywhere. I've tried several times and all it ever led to was my having to reinstall my backup. (Nandroided just before trying...thankfully.)

Couldn't you buy it on you epic then use titanium backup and send the backed up app to your tablet? You can also create a backup from esfile explorer. Then send the app through Gmail or Bluetooth. Even uploading it to dropbox

Sorry I had it backwards. I do not know of a way to do what you are asking besides build prop.

Go to a carrier store - Sprint, AT&T, etc. and sign in to your Google account on a device that is compatible with that app. After you sign in once, that will be one of your devices on file and you can buy apps from the Play Store web page.

You can always flash a CM9 ROM, then use a device spoofer or change your build model in the build prop... to a tablet or model that supports that app... buy it via market store. then u can revert... I've done that before...

"Nearly all religions were brought to people And imposed on people by conquerers And used as the framework to control their mind. My main point here is that if you are a child of God and God is a part of you, then in your imagination God is supposed to look like you and when you accept a picture of the deity assigned to you
by another people, you become the spiritual prisoner of that other people" - Dr. John Henrik Clarke

Honestly going to the web page would probably be easiest.
