This is how I successfully installed and run Angry Birds Rio, from the Amazon App Store.
Register an Amazon account
Fill in a US address, just look for one on the web (may warn you of invalid format but not hard to get through)
Enable 1-click purchase
Add a credit card for payment, I used an AE number (a generated one... LOL)
Download the Amazon App Store APK file => amzn.to/getappstore
Connect to a free US VPN (passwords renew every 30 mins) => goo.gl/3yRU
Fill in the CAPTCHA and use the bottom 2 servers (for Android)
Launch Amazone App Store
GET the Angry Birds Rio
BOOM!
Sorry about the links but I do not have permission to post external links
If u have it can't you just backup the apk and post on here?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
1st, posting warez violates forum rules
2nd, it seems to check your Amazon purchase record when you play the game, as reported by someone else in HTC forum that they can only grab likes 30 secs to play before timeout, LOL
Angry Birds Rio for Android, exclusive to the Amazon Android appstore is FREE for today only to commemorate the Amazon Appstore's launch. So technically not yet considered as warez. It's also worth mentioning that they're giving away 1 paid app a day.
EDIT: I guess the day is over for them, there's another new app that's free for today (World Series Online Poker: Holde'm Legend) but you can still check if you can get Angry Birds Rio...it still says free on my Appstore.
EDIT2: I actually think this is a loophole in their system. So it might get fixed soon!
Anyway, there's a simpler way. I have it, I'm from the Philippines, and I've played through the first 10 or so rounds with no signs of being kicked out or anything. Just needed a break...
Anyhow, here's what I did. I'm not sure exactly what combination of actions worked so I'll just say everything here. Make sure your phone's on wifi or whatever.
1. (PHONE) Get the Market Access app (which allows me to buy from the Android Market when normally app purchases are not allowed for my region) - just Google Android Market Access..it should be one of the first links. It's free. Download and install it on your phone.
EDIT: Market Access app here: http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
2. (PHONE) Set Market Access to emulate the T-Mobile USA sim (does not effect anything, no worries..you can still text and call etc.)
3. (COMPUTER) Download the Amazon Appstore app via the Amazon website's Appstore page. You have to give your e-mail address.
Amazon Appstore page: http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_adr_app1?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

}
4. (COMPUTER) Amazon will send you the download link. You can download it via your phone or to your computer then just transfer it over. I did the latter.
5. (PHONE) Install the Amazon Appstore App with the apk you just downloaded
6. (COMPUTER) If you don't have an Amazon account yet, sign up for one and attach a credit card and billing/shipping address to it (NOT SURE if this is needed, I just happen to already have those things..but you do need an Amazon account~)
7. (PHONE) Navigate to the free app you're trying to get. Try to download it and you'll be told that you need to enable One-Click...Just continue to activate it (it will open up Amazon's website on your phone's web browser) you'll be told to log-in to Amazon, then select the payment method (credit card you linked to Amazon) as well as the billing/shipping address after that you would have already enabled One-Click.
8. (COMPUTER) Sign in to Amazon and then navigate to the app you want from the Amazon Appstore WEBSITE. If you try to grab the app you want from the Amazon Appstore app on your phone you'll keep getting the not available in your region blah message.
9. (COMPUTER) Now once you're in the page of the app you want, you should see in the right side a button that says "Get Now with 1-Click" and underneath that you should see the model of your phone displayed (which confirms your phone is now linked to the Amazon Appstore)
10. (COMPUTER) You will be taken to the next page saying you now own that particular app and to check the Amazon Appstore app on your phone for the download. You would have also received an e-mail form Amazon confirming your order.
11. (PHONE) On the Appstore app, press the menu button (for my SGS, I dunno what it's called in other phones) then select "My Apps" it will say "Checking for new apps" or something on the bottom and after a few seconds you should now see "1 app to download and install" and just click install and see your app being downloaded! After the download finishes, it will take you to the install prompt as with normal side-loaded apk installs where you confirm you want to install.
Tada! You can get apps from the Amazon Appstore from anywhere! I haven't tried it with paid apps. But I've already downloaded WSOP and Angry Birds Rio and successfully installed both and have gotten to play both with no problems.
Sorry I don't have screens for everything since I already went through the enabling process which is a one time only thing~
ENJOY!
At step 10 I get told that the app store isn't available in my region, were the address details you entered previously for the US or somewhere else?

I used my Philippine address. Hmm..that's weird.. so like when you click "get now with 1-click" it gives you that message?
I've downloaded a 3rd free app just now with no problems..What app are you trying to get? Angry Birds?
Edit: Amazon apparently is making use of my US billing address which I also happen to have even if I'm in the Philippines (upon checking the emails from them about my order) even if it's not the one associated to my one-click settings..so I guess you ought to try finding a random US address and associating it to your Amazon account. I deleted the address to see if I can still download stuff and apparently I still can but it still sees my US address as my billing address..
workaround
Apparently Amazon checks the credit card information
"At this time, we are unable to offer the Amazon Appstore for Android and associated apps to our international customers.
To successfully purchase digital content from Amazon Appstore for Android, the 1-Click payment method listed on the Your Account page must be a credit or debit card issued by a U.S. Bank with a U.S. billing address."
So if you intend to "buy" only free apps you can do so by generating fake id and credit card information. It worked for me. I used this website : h_t_t_p://fakenamegenerator.com/gen-male-us-us.php (sorry i'm new, tells me i can't post links)
Sounds like a giant pain in the ass for a freakin game
Anybody ever hear of torrents... geezus

yes - I installed it but can't buy anything because i am in the UK
Here is the Angry Birds Rio Apk for anyone that is unable to download it.
Mod Edit: Link Removed
not able download through ur link
Downloaded the game from the link you provided and installed it. When i try to play it, it says i dont own it and that i cannot play it. First of all, Amazon app store wont let me from Canada buy/download the game. When I get it from someone else, the game says i dont own it. How the hell can I play this game then? Rovio is so stupid for making things so complicated when they shouldve just released it on the android market and not on amazon's app store.
This really annoys me.
I can't get that... in the first screenshot, do they charge you for Angry Birds and Angry Birds Season? They're free on the Android Market, why is that?

Yeah, i've never seen it on any other android app before. I tried turning off wifi and it requested it in order for the app to work. Guess ill have to wait and see if someone can find a workaround on this. Im shocked Rovio would risk pissing off fans by allowing Amazon.com to be their goto host for their new game when only US based fans can play it.

Yeah you can play it .
There are some requirements though.
1. You need to have the appstore installed
2. You need to have a very slow internet connection like GPRS
3. You need to run it, wait till it loads till you get the first error with see details and quit.
4. Click on see details.
5. Back to game very quickly, to the choose level and play
It will between every level crash also on pause though
Screenies later

I am guessing it is more an Amazon thing. I am betting Amazon has a clause that they can set the price to whatever they want but will continue to pay the developer the normal costs. Amazon is a BIG companie and they would be more than happy to eat the cost of some games to get their market out there and widely used.
I am sure Amazon is in the process of making their market work beyond the US, but they have to start somewhere. Amazon rules, just give them time.
Edit: My assumption was correct... Amazon set the free cost. http://paidcontent.org/article/419-amazon-launches-its-appstore.-is-a-tablet-or-a-handset-next/#
—Unlike other app stores, Amazon has decided that it will wield control over how apps are being priced—although developers can suggest a retail price. This will let Amazon promote certain apps for free, before potentially hiking up the charge at a later stage when downloads have picked up momentum. This appears to include a promotional scheme to offer one normally paid-for app as a free download every day. To kick things off, it looks like Rio, the new Angry Birds game that Amazon nabbed exclusively for the appstore, will be free at first, later going up to $0.99 per download.

Even if I do this, at some point it will display an alert with "Content not allowed" or "Internal server error" and will exit the application after pressing OK.
I am in Canada. Downloaded the app store on my Desire Z. Angry Birds Rio would not load, said it is not available for this region. I went to Titanium back-up, wiped all data for the Amazon app store. I then logged into the app store (on my phone) with a US friend's Amazon account and presto, Angry Birds Rio is up and running perfectly on my device. I did not use wifi, solely my Rogers 3G connection. I hope that helps.

You didnt read what I wrote? Yeah it will. But it didnt do it on me in 3 levels right in the game play. Just at "pause" , between levels , options and starting.
as you can see in the screenshot I finished 3 levels already. Cant much more. Since I am at work. but will test how long in a level it let me run if it the error pops out.
Installed amazon appstore, downloaded and installed angry birds rio...been playin it for like 30mins.. plays fine. Damn monkeys on the 2 theme haha
Hi, just letting You guys know. Twingo cracked the Angry Birds RIO. Everyone can now play it without the amazonlolstore installed from any location (I'm form Poland). Cheers to him!
Screens from my e10i:
And it's a FREE app, so I can provide the links (I think... If not, I am sorry, and please mod to delete!).
Mod Edit: Links Removed
First off, don't ask how to do this on 2.3.3, it is probably possible.
You'll need to have root, 2.3.4 and a Japanese PSN account.
If you don't know how to get 2.3.4, go fish.
If you don't know how to root, go fish.
If you don't know how to get Japanese PSN account, go fish.
If you hungry for some seafood, go to market.

EDIT 2:
HALF ASSED TUTORIAL
GAMEPLAY
But in a nutshell
EDIT:
all you need to do is change ur market to "NTT Domoco" since their branded phone comes available with the program "Campaign Navi"
then need your phone already rooted to change "ro.product.model" to "SO-01D" which is the their variant of the Xperia Play
have the PS Store, have a Japanese PSN account
obtain a XXXX-XXXX-XXXX gift code via email from the "Campaign Navi"
register it on a Japanese PSN account, then from the PS Store APP

Yep, I've got rally cross, and XI, and other games on the japanese psn page, on the phones app, but no locoroco, and when I enter the code, I get the amber window, which obviously tells me the code is either invalid or out of date, just as it would on a uk account.
Tried altering the phone's id, in build.prop, and changing market with enabler.
Also managed to get the apps from that chinese site, so will install and try them later too.

I'm getting the Amber window also. I tried this on my Japanese PSN account via qriocity.com
I'll try it again on my PS3. I just wanted to register the game to my account so one day. (hopefully) when the PS Store comes to the R800x, I could just log into my Japanese account and download it.
Thanks for the effort!
Thanks worked fine.

(AndroidPolice)
What’s New
* You now have the*Installed*and*All*tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before – it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you’ve ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I’ve seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it’s great to get it here in the mobile app.
* The All tab contains a handy*dropdown with all your accounts*(if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
* The*list of apps you have purchased*but uninstalled or haven’t installed yet*has moved*to the All tab… which means it’s now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I’m not sure how I feel about that – on one hand, I like that it’s gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday…
* A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and*updates to such orphans*were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I’ve complained about this very bug in*my last rant
, and it looks like someone listened.
* Just like in the web Play Store:*
- reviews*now*show the device*used by the reviewer*
- reviews*can now be*sorted*by*Most Helpful first*or*Newest first*
- you can now*filter reviews*to show ones for*the latest version of the app*as well as made by only*the device you are using.
Well this needs no introduction.
If you need, either you are living some place ancient, or you should be ashamed of being on xda and not knowing about it, or you are extremely busy with some world other than Android.

Don't have connection? You mean it isn't starting, like stuck on boot loading?
Working fine here. Can't really think of what might be the issue.
Try reinstalling. Or restart phone once, and then try.
And you are on wifi or mobile network (2g or 3g)?

What’s New
* You now have the*Installed*and*All*tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before – it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you’ve ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I’ve seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it’s great to get it here in the mobile app.
* The All tab contains a handy*dropdown with all your accounts*(if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
* The*list of apps you have purchased*but uninstalled or haven’t installed yet*has moved*to the All tab… which means it’s now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I’m not sure how I feel about that – on one hand, I like that it’s gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday…
* A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and*updates to such orphans*were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I’ve complained about this very bug in*my last rant
, and it looks like someone listened.
* Just like in the web Play Store:*
- reviews*now*show the device*used by the reviewer*
- reviews*can now be*sorted*by*Most Helpful first*or*Newest first*
- you can now*filter reviews*to show ones for*the latest version of the app*as well as made by only*the device you are using.

It should get better in future. Till then, you can use the older ver.
It´s just a new branding image for the upcoming google stuff.
As it happens in Apple, that they are changing the Mac OS names apps to match the iOS.
Thanks for sharing
Good work. You dont need to redownload to get the latest version though... it'll update by itself eventually. Just like mine )
after rooting my phone earlier today I installed a custom rom and market wont upgrade to google play so had to download a apk for it..
Thanks
Now before I begin, most of you had lost the ability to use Market Enabler/Unlocker due to the recent update on Google Servers which now upon purchase tracks down your actual location and ties down your account to your location.
So here's the deal on how to get it back. Without rooting. Without any Unlocker.
Requirements-
- 2 Android Phones.
- VPN (TunnelBear or HotspotShield)
- Patience
Now before you jump into conclusions, that "OH VPN" Just remember, that when you get off the VPN, Exit PlayStore and open it again, it re-asks you to "Accept" terms which brings you back to your local playstore. Boohoo. Here's proof on my side at the end of this post.
Instructions
Phone #1
- Open Play, Download the app called TunnelBear VPN
- Clear Market Cache/Data after Download
- Register with TunnelBear/Hotspot VPN and connect to it.
*Make sure you are connected and are receiving packets!*
- Open Play, Accept the terms and you will now be greeted with the ever so friendly US Play store as shown below. (Refer to Image #1)
- Once accepted, tab out and back in to make sure it sticks without exiting, do not exit the app via Multi window!
Phone #2
- Clear Cache/Data on Android phone #2
- Open Play *Without connecting to VPN*
*This time, it will ask you to accept terms, but lead you to the US Play Store*
Phone #1
- Disconnect from the VPN from Android #1 used and tab back to Play.
For those who doubt my location, refer to Image #2
Finally, to prove that this works, I have loaded Play on all my devices (Cleared Data/Cache for devices that were not used in this setup) and without the use of any VPN they all loaded Play US Store. (Refer to Image#3 and #4)
Explanation
If you own a device or more that share the same account such as, Phone#1 and Phone#2 share the account you use for Purchase (To share paid apps between devices) Google servers check with each device
eg: Phone #1 location = US, Proceed. Welcome to US Play. Disconnect VPN
Phone #2 location = <Your country>, Check Phone #1 <VPN Disconnected already>, Location ≠ US, resend Terms Policy. Reset.
And yes they can determine your carrier and location without you knowing, When you install an app via Play it shows under devices as
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But if you had faked initial Device #1 and accepted, then accepted via Device #2, it check's back with Device #1, Since Device#1 says US, it proceeds with what permission was granted first to the gmail account <US Play Permission due to VPN>.

This didn't work for me. My one device was able to get the US store by connecting to a VPN, but me other device stubbornly shows the store available to users in China. Just SOL then?

Make sure you're getting packets. You need to clear cache, connect to the vpn and then accept the terms. You'll be in the USA store.

Did it all in that order multiple times. Still no go.
Is there other ways of faking us market - with or without root?

Doesn't work for me. The quote over is how far I get. Using a VPN application doesn't get me into the US Play Store anymore. Google has absolutely changed something since the Nexus 4 launch (which I bought using Tunnelbear on my PC).

Here's something I tried that works.
1- Install Hotspotshield app or any other VPN
2- Open Play Store. Now you should be in U.S Store
3- Find an app you want to download / purchase
4- Start the download and just as it begins to download cancel it.
5- Now it should be in the 'My Apps' list under 'All' and you can download it without VPN at any time.
The benefit is that VPN can really slow down your connection especially when downloading bigger apps.
I used this VPN method several months.
But now it seems that Google bound my account to my REAL country. I can't make it work any more.
To show you that my account is bound I give you an example: accessing playstore my PC.
I activate my US VPN.
I browse to play.google.com. (not logged in in Google Account). I can see all US playstore content.
BUT: when I login into my account (with VPN activated) I only can see the playstore content of my REAL country.
I already delete all my billing addresses etc. Sadly this didn't help.
Any idea how to fix that?

Get 36TB of cloud storage for FREE!!

How would you like 36TB's of storage?? FOR FREE!!!
So who is offering this? Qihoo 360, which is some Chinese company, only information I could find: is a Chinese company best known for its antivirus software. I would advise you to be cautious I haven't use any of the services yet and it does require you to download a desktop app and mobile client. You can delete these after all is setup and everything will stay you don't have to have them installed but you must install them to get the extra space.
*NOTE:This is a Chinese company, use your best judgment on what you store. I do not plan on storing sensitive information on here or any type of data that you would hate to loose or for someone else to get their hands on; that's what Dropbox, OneDrive, Share, Copy, and all the other secure cloud hosts are for and why you get a limited amount of free storage I'm a Network Technican in a call center and have tons of non sensitive stats, reports, and recording that we use just to track progress of the system that is in multiple locations so this give me another backup and will remove it off my computer at home atleast. I have 3 other backups to the data this is just another avenue so if all my stuff get's deleted I'm not at a loss, nor if anyone happens to get access to my account and look through it they'll see lots of numbers and data but nothing that's gonna hurt me or anyone else and more or less just annoy someone looking at the data trying to find a meaning.
Think of it this way:
This is like your front porch; You can use it to store things, but someone can still walk by and take something.

NOTE: If you have any problems or troubles and can't figure something out I suggest this trick. Download the new Google Translate app off of Play store and use the new camera feature!! This made everything simple (had use 2 phones) because all I had to do was take a picture of the screen I was stuck at to find out the translation.
So lets go ahead and start. Here are the steps to getting setup:
1. Go to http://yunpan.360.cn
2. You should see a blue and white screen with a login box towards the right with some scrolling images to the left. Click the blue text at the bottom of the forum.
3. You should now be on a registration screen, here is the translation:
Welcome to register 360 cloud disk
Email (Mailbox)
Password (6-20 Characters)
Confirm Password
Verification Code (Not Case Sensitive)
I have read and agree to the "360 User Terms of Service"
Sign up now
4. You should then be redirected to a site with a green android looking guy and instructions to check your email to activate. You have 48 hours.
5. After you've verified your email go to http://down.360safe.com/yunpan/360wangpan_setup.exe to download the Qihoo 360 Windows Client
6. Once you have everything downloaded and install run the application
7. When the application first starts you should get a login screen (blue box) that has 2 tabs. Here is the translation:
Tab 1: Ordinary Login | Tab 2: Seamless Login
360 Account Login
Account
Password
Remember Password | Automatic Login
Log in
Forgot Password (Under log in button)
Note: If you get a pop up while logging in means you haven't activated your account yet
8. After you log in you should see that you start with 360GB, and after your first login you should get a pop-up like this:
Translation:
Congratulation
Obtain large cloud disk space permanently
"Something about how many harddrives it equals"
Click to receive
9. If you click the link you should now be at 10.4 TB, but what about the other 26TB?
10. To get the other 26TB you have to install the Android app which is the reason for me posting this so we can get it translated!
11. Download link for the android app: http://down.360safe.com/yunpan/360yunpan_android.apk (There is an iOS app)
12. Install the downloaded apk, one weird thing is that the app seemed to auto close on tablet. I used and old junk tablet we let the kids play with incase it was infected.
13. Open the app and this is where maybe someone can shed some light as I didn't translate the splash screen so I'm not sure what the 2 options are for. I can tell you that option 1 (Blue) will only allow you to enter a phone number but not sure what it's linked back to. Option 2 the grey option is the one that we want as we already created a 360 account.
14. Click the grey 360 tab to open the login screen
15. Input your email, pass and login (This is actually in english if your phone is set to english)
16. Press the login button and BAM 26TB instantly!!!!
17. I can't move around the app very well in Chinese but if you go back to your desktop client and check your space it should be at 36.4TB now!!!
Thats it! If you look at the first screen shot you will see it lists 36.4TB the second shot is initial setup showing the 360GB

I just got this installed today so I haven't done anything with it really but thought I'd pass this along now lets get it translated!
If you have any questions be more than happy to ask and I'll do my best to answer as well as post my progress
