So finally got QPair running on my V5100...

Web Presence:
Twitter
Google+

Instructions:
  1. Uninstall QPair if you have it installed on both tablet and phone
  2. Modify your build.prop

    Before
    Code: 
    ro.product.model=LG-V500
ro.product.name=awifi_open_eu
ro.product.device=v500
ro.product.board=awifi
ro.build.product=v500

    After
    Code: 
    ro.product.model=LG-V510
ro.product.name=palman
ro.product.device=palman
ro.product.board=palman
ro.build.product=palman
  3. Reboot
  4. Install QPair on Tablet and Phone
  5. Run QPair app
  6. Enjoy

What is going to be most commonly asked question:
Q. How do I modify build.prop

A1. Use Root Explorer to make changes on phone. Make not of current permissions of original build.prop file and make sure modified build.prop file permissions match before you reboot. If permissions are not set properly than tablet will not boot.

A2. Use the attached ZIP file to flash build.prop

A3. Pull build.prop file from your AOSP ROM, make the changes you want, save new build.prop file, replace your modified build.prop with one in attached zip file and than flash.

After I made my changes to the build.prop I placed it into my GApps package so when I flash new ROM and GApps, the modified build.prop will flash with GApps.

Notes:
Not all lines may need to be changed. That's what I changed on first try to get it QPair to work.
When you flash new ROM you will need to modify build.prop or flash a modified build.prop...

Yep and no need the palman entries, I've just changed v500 to v510, probably only needs one entry changed but I haven't tried to find out which one.

What I don't understand is why this works, pretending to be a v510 whereas Qpair belongs on v500. Can a real GPE v510 download, install and pair?

It may download a different version from play store that is not looking for specific files in the LG stock ROM or they can disable it if stock qpair is not found. Many ways to check and they picked the easiest way to bypass so let's hope they keep it that way.

Hi, after modifying build.prop do you reinstall from the good play store? or do I need to flash a zip that is a special version for tablets? Because when I reinstall from the google play store and go into the initial setup pushing the start button does nothing. I can just tap it over and over it it show the animation of getting pushed down but nothing happens. (I'm on the CM11 rom)

Thanks for the help! Let me know if there's anything I need to do to help with troubleshooting!

Thanks again!

Hello! Edit just the model line, save, reboot, install from play store and is working flawlessly. I'm on CM11 latest nightly.

Same here. I'm starting to thing that with the edited build.prop, the Playstore installs a version for AOSP roms that doesn't need any LG framework bits to work. I'll pull the apk from my GPad and upload it here. If someone is willing to give it a go, It might install and run fine without any editing.

@AndroidUser00110001

Do you mean Hangout SMS on phone or on tablet?
I get the QPair notification, when I receive Hangouts SMS on phone.
But you won't get any SMS in Hangouts at the tablet at all. QPair does only show a window at the tablet.

Stock messaging app I get notifications on tablet but won't send reply.

Hangouts SMS I get no notifications.

I thought when I first used QPair the replies went through but now it is not sending.

Hi @AndroidUser00110001
was it naive of me to hope that this would work with my V500? I tried it with both V-500 and V-510 under ro.product.model and it connects properly only to fc immediately afterwards. Qpair then fcs every time when opened and on the phone it says "not connected". Any idea why, any advice? Thanks!
