So this past weekend my girlfriend bought what she thought was a Samsung Galaxy S5 (and cost her close to 500 USD for it) off someone in Kijiji, turned out it is a fake version that is hidden so well that even Android apps like Antutu Benchmark can't detect it.
And now of course the guy just disappeared...sucks for us and now she doesn't want to use the phone so it becomes my little experimental machine.
I know a few people on this forum compiles their own Android kernels and this is something I want to try on this phone as well (if I can), however here is the caveat, the phone's real hardware info is completely masked (i.e., the build.prop file was changed) so I am yet even able to find the real hardware info of the phone.
My questions are,
Is it possible to get the real hardware info off this phone somehow? I think it is actually this one but I can't be 100% sure:

and
Assuming it is possible, how difficult it would be to port Cyanogenmod to this phone?
Thanks!
