Is there a way to trick an app into thinking your device is another. I.e I want to trick an app into thinking my kf2 is a nexus 7

Yes just edit the build.prop file in system fine device id change kindlefire 2 to nexus 7 and save and exit make a backup of original i think this is correct.

I've done this on the Atrix before using ROM Toolbox. One word of warning, I soft bricked my 1st Kindle with it by tinkering on the default ROM, so make sure you have backups.
