"Download failed because you may not have purchased the

So as many people out there I wanted to play Fallout Shelter yesterday. Soon I recognized my Samsung Galaxy S2 seems to be not supported.

But as I went through the Internet I saw much newer Smartphones weren't listed as supported too.

So I thought to myself why not try to get the apk file and install it manually.

My Brother was able to download the game on his S3 and extracted the apk for me.

I installed the game asap and wanted to test it but as it started loading the data this

error occured: "Download failed because you may not have purchased the app"

Well I somehow believe this is a mechanic to not "share accounts" with purchased lunchboxes am I right?

But I'm pretty sure my S2 can handle Fallout Shelter and I want to play the game.

Is there any way to make the Google PlayStore accept my phone as supported?

Current Specs:

Android 4.1.2 (new enough; 4.1+ is required)

1GB RAM (enough; Bethesda listed that Devices with less than 1GB aren't supported)

2x1.2GHz (not really much I know and I couldn't find what Fallout Shelter needs)

Thanks in advance and I hope someone can help me
