I am so sorry if this question has already been asked. But i was just wondering if we could use the markert enabler on Nexus one as well ? i have the version which i used on my Hero. would it work on a rooted nexus one as well ?
Get an updated version on their website: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/

quick question.. every time i face a provider it works, but it reverts when the phone reboots.

...because the developers haven't written it in the software... it doesn't remember settings on reboot
i was hoping the dev's would further develop this app, but it has been at 3.0.8 for months now... so i think it has been deserted.
does the job though...

Thank you for doing this! I have a stupid question, but I have to ask it, because I don't know how MarketAccess works.
Can you (or anybody) confirm that only the market is fooled? By this, I mean, I want to be sure that neither my telco nor the telco I'm spoofing will charge me for roaming and that any data I actually download while spoofing my location will still go through my normal APNs?
Thanks for your answer.
MarketAccess emulates SIM numeric of the chosen operator. My local provider APNs continue to work fine with no extra charges when I have T-Mobile emulated.
However, it may affect other applications which also depend on the SIM numeric. For example, the APN Settings dialog will start to show the APNs valid for the emulated provider (SIM numeric = MCC+MNC in the APN settings). To be on the safe side remove the APNs for the emulated provider or change the APN server to your local one, but with the MCC/MNC of the emulated provider.
In theory it may alert such application as WaveSecure and SIM Checker. But I have WaveSecure installed and it seems to live fine with the emulated SIM numeric. One user reported that SIM Checker also works fine.
If you feel paranoid, then just disable the GPRS/EDGE/3G using APNdroid or Toggle Data and buy/download the applications via WiFi. Once downloaded, restore your original SIM numeric and enable data transfer.
Thank you for your comprehensive answer!
SIM Checker dev here. I can confirm that there are no problems with MarketAccess, since the SIM numeric value is not used to determine if the SIM card has been changed.

You need MarketAccess to buy any application from Market in the countries where paid applications are not listed in the Market. Is that the answer you were looking for?
so being in the us there is really no need for it? or are there specific apps that can only be seen using this

Developers can choose where to distribute their applications. So we can guess that there are some apps limited to certain countries. I don't know of any specific examples.

You should get one eventually, but you could also try going into the app's settings, checking Use Bridges, and enter the IP of a US bridge. I don't know of any US bridges myself but this mat be useful: https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges#FindingMore

Oh, in the guide the link to Tor is purely informational, you don't even need to look at it. The Tor link I posted above is a complex way to possibly have a higher chance of being routed into the US ... that's really only for people who are ready to do the research into it. The guide on StackExchange should be enough.
If Tor is essentially a proxy - would your phone need to have iptables in order for this method to work?

My kernel does not have iptables. (SE X10 Mini Pro)
While I can run orbot and connect - it doesn't tunnel any data through the connection. My IP address in any app is still the same as it was before connection to the tor network. (Including the browser check in the orbot app)
I suspect therefore that in order to tunnel apps through the tor network, your kernel does in fact need iptables.

If you put a fake phone number, they can't call you. Don't attach fake info to your "real" account if you have one, if this concerns you. And they probably only call if your billing info is fake and they can't process your payment, so you could stick to free apps with no problem. (I don't see why they would call otherwise, there's no way they're going through every account and verifying the info manually).

It doesn't care about whether you have a payment method, or if you do where your billing address is, until you try to buy/download an app.
Yeah, stupidly enough I attached fake info to my real account. I did only download free apps though, to avoid them taking contact.
I am from Singapore and there's no need to use Tor or proxies to use the Amazon Appstore. Downloads are verified as long as there's a valid US credit card number attached to your 1-click configuration.
It makes sense because it verifies you as a US citizen. The claim that " this new market cannot be used outside of the US" is false. You're saying US citizens travelling outside of US who wants to access has to use Tor?
Amazon restricts usage only in US through identification using credit card information (and house address).

You have to modify a DB file on your device to get any tethering app to work.
Here are instructions from another thread in this QA forum:
yakman66 said:
I have the T-mobile $30 unlimited prepaid plan and I ran into the tethering block after getting my Nexus 5.
I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.
I hope this helps.

The stock tethering is working fine after I rooted however I am worried T-Mobile will find out I am tethering sooner or later. I would rather use this app to tether
I solved with this app: WiFi Tether Router
on Google Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
the developer has done a compatible update
I contacted the developer via email and he told me after a few hours
the developer advised me to select these settings
Interface wlan0
Method 0 - Auto
works also with
Interface wlan0
Method 2

I am interested to know if anyone has gotten the original app in this thread, the Wifi Tether for Root users working with the Nexus 5.
Unlike the other posters, I am interested in this app because it enables you to spoof the MAC address, which I am interested in for making a streetpass relay point for my 3DS, so the alternative app suggested is not a viable alternative for me.
Any ideas how I can get this working on my Nexus 5? It is rooted, stock ROM, and have installed Busybox.
I would try mailing the Dev of the paid app. The screenshots of the options and the description of the methods available look similar to those in the free branch, and if the code is similar it may be simple to add the feature.

**UPDATE for 4.4.2** -- see this thread. Basically the tether_dun_required database fix from Nexus devices for those familiar with it; MikeyNick posted a great summary there if you're not.
This mod is for T-Mobile US users to redirect built-in tethering from pcweb to the usual fast apn. All you have to do is flash the attached zip and delete the stock "T-Mobile Tethering" APN and everything should work.
--- rambling begins ---
Well, I took the plunge on the Moto Maker not-Cyber-Monday deal and, upon receiving the thing yesterday, was shocked to learn that nobody had made a mod to enable native tethering for those of us with grandfathered unlimited plans. Of course, magenta just has to be different and doesn't use the same restrictions that everyone else uses. The obvious problem is the absence of the entitlement service that performs the check on the other three major US operators; rather, no matter how I configured my apns, the dumb thing still managed to go through pcweb.
So of course the only thing to do is to go searching through system apks. Turns out there is a hardcoded reference to pcweb under framework-res/res/values-mcc310-mnc260/strings.xml, so I changed that to refer to fast.t-mobile.com, and voila! I did change a few other things around in my earlier quest to get this working so if you're comfortable with your phone, please give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
Many thanks to chaoslimits for his thread, which explained to me how to get apktool to actually build my framework-res.
Thanks for your efforts! I'll give it a shot!
It works! Thank you! Will keep an eye on my data and billing.

Thanks for the report! Did you apply any other mods (e.g. settings database/APN changes)? It's my suspicion that the only requirement is the modified framework and then changing the stock tethering APN in the Mobile Networks settings, but I haven't tried doing this on a clean install.
Maybe I am not understanding this. Do you mean to say if I use the Power Toggles to activate tethering it will notify Tmobile?

There is never any notification; the issue is how the built-in hotspot activated by power toggles routes traffic. T-Mobile devices use a different APN for tethering (pcweb.tmobile.com), which is what directs clients to the hotspot upsell page. This mod simply redirects traffic so it goes through the same APN as your phone's data (fast.t-mobile.com).

The only hard requirement to get this working is write access to /system. I have an unlocked bootloader and the zip is designed to be flashed in a custom recovery (I use TWRP 2.6.3.1). However, all the zip does is replace one file (/system/framework/framework-res.apk). I am not familiar with the various hacks required to achieve sysrw without unlocking the bootloader, but I expect it would be possible.

The mod itself should work as kangkat is based on stock firmware, but flashing this may mess up some of the built-in mods for kangkat--I don't know the details of what ib4stid did. If you're feeling adventurous, back up your framework-res and flash this to see if it messes anything up.
If you're not feeling adventurous, I can mod the kangkat framwork-res and you can give that a try instead.

If you have a data plan with T-Mobile that doesn't include tethering, any attempt at using the internet via tethering will direct the tethered device to an upsell page which basically says "you need to add this service to your account." That page means the traffic is being routed through the tethering APN (pcweb.tmobile.com) instead of the normal APN (fast.t-mobile.com for LTE devices). If you tether and it works then you either have a tethering plan, or your tethered data is going through the same APN as your phone's data.

Not likely. It wold take a complete rework of the telephony setup in the OS and most carriers in the US only use a single apn and we dont use dual sim devices. I know this doesnt mean alot to other countries but Google is a US based company.

Hi everyone!
This is my first post and my first app for Android!
PhoneBalance is an app that tracks your prepaid balance and notify changes on your balance. It support multi-SIM devices (you have to choose one) and it has a simple widget that shows your current balance on your homescreen.
Please guys, give me some feedback, so I can improve this!
You can find it on Play Store, I don't have 10 posts yet(I will certainly update this post)
Search for PhoneBalance on Play Store!
Thank you, guys!
