Android app compatibility .... "identify device as"-option

Some Android-apps state they are not avail. to jolla's Android environment (aka "Unknown Alien_jolla_bionic").

Would it make sense to circumvent this by implementing a dalvik-pulley where one could choose identifying the device ( dalvik runtime ) differently e.g. as a Samsung or other specific Android device ? I'd definitely support this ! For example, a Sony-remote App happens to be "Unknown Alien_jolla_bionic"-compatible (even though jolla has no IR-transmitter built in) whereas a headphone's audio suite ("Parrot Audio Suite") is prevented from getting installed even though just being a Bluetooth communication app ...
