Amazon Appstore Region Fix (Root)

I have found a way to get apps from the amazon appstore even if you are from outside the only working region (US)
I have tested it with Angry Birds Rio. BTW, I'm from Mexico
We need to configure the HotSpotShield to work with our phone. You need to be rooted in order to do this.
(Credits to hacktrix2006 for this method)
So steps to setting up HotSpotShield
1. Download VPN Connections 0.99 (goo(dot)gl/QPulb)
2. You need to get an user name and Password from HotSpotShield (Click on get Account ID) (goo(dot)gl/JFzF)
3. Open VPN Connections 0.99
4. Settings for VPN Connection 0.99:
Make sure VPN is enabled
Select "Add Another Network"
Connection Name: HotSpotShield
IPSec gateway address: 68.68.107.101
IPSec ID: hss
IPSec Secret: hss
Username: "The one obtained from the HotSpotShield"
Password: "Same as Username"
Password + Token Digits: Unticked
5. Click on "Add"
6. Press and Hold on "HotSpotShield" and select Connect.
7. It should take a few seconds and you should be connected.​
Know that you have configured hotspot shield and confirmed that it works we need to set up our amazon settings to make it think we are buying from the US
You will need to configure an Amazon 1-click option with a valid US address, you can look for an hotel or you can even use google's own:
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043
goo.gl(dot)pOAJF
If you want to buy and app (Not a free app) then you will also need a credit card that can work with an american address. I have a Banamex-California Commerce Bank and it gives me the option to use an address from Florida. You need to set this payment option with the 1-click address.
Make sure you click on Click here to make this your 1-Click default address so it can be used for buy apps, mp3s and kindle books.
Hope this is helpful

Anyone confirm this works? Also i definitely won't be buying apps from that store, i dont want to give them any of my money i would rather contact the developer direct and pay them.

hmm I just get a Force Close as soon as I try to connect to the VPN

Ok so far everything works I just need to add a credit card but if I add my own will it not be able to tell its not American?

My problem here begins with obtaining a user id @ hotspotshield, nowhere on the website or in app there is that phrase you wrote down there.
Any explanation?

VPN connections force close
Any other good app/guide for doing it?

Android browser doesn't work on my Nexus One with latest Cyanogen nightly, everything else seems to work. Any suggestions?
Edit: opera mini seems to be the only browser that works.

Do you have a proxy set for your browser? Or it could also be a DNS issue. Try visiting this page on your android browser and see if it will load: http://74.125.224.48/ <- google.com

Cleaned out everything under my APN settings, now it works on both my Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus. But when switching between wifi and mobile data, you have to manually disconnect and reconnect. Can this be fixed?

I guess that could be done Thanks for the feedback.

Seems to use a lot of battery? Over the last session it have consumed the same as AndroidOS.

Just as with manually switching wifi, it seems not to reconnect when it says it does. Can that be fixed? If you lose signal for mobile data and regain it u have to manually restart.

i cant connect
sir i cant connect droidvpn always say "no wifi or 3g detected " do i need to turn wifi on?im also from the philippines pls help....

Thanks! GAE with the speed of instability, I think it is necessary to try this.

I believe that is normal since it would be running all the time unless you disconnect it. You might want to read this since openvpn and our app functions almost the same.

We are still working on that. But right now it will actually try to reconnect if it detects that no data is being transferred within 60 seconds.

Love this app
I have a suggestion though. You shove give users an option to check if the the vpn is working. Maybe launch a web page or something to test

Obviously i'm going to try this. I went to just buy it given what you're asking, seems fair. Here is my thing though. I see you're offering it on a third party store. probably because some don't like using google store? I can understand this. Any way we/I could purchase it directly from you instead of adding yet another third party vendor/store to the list of places i have to get my apps from? Or for users who do not mind the play store pffer it there, ofcourse at a cost that lets you get what you think you deserve with the 30% google cut. If its a matter of privacy or the 30% google takes id rather just pay you and get a license file then some one else.

I don't publish it to Google Play Store, because they don't accept my country to sell apps :/. Both the free and the donation one are the same, if you are still wanting to donate you can use the donate button here in Xda and download the one at play store (I think that Google haven't updated it to the newest one, but they will). Or you can download the one in the OP (They all are the same).

its working well with the dropbox remote as well as connecting with my local address. However the android app does not show my correct local address it is showing my "Data" address even though i am connected to wifi.
Also, no worries. work it out as you can.

So is showing your data ip address instead of your wifi ip address? If it so try relaunching the app and entering with the wifi turned on.

[ROOT] [HD 10 2017] FireTabletSettings.apk Rewritten [August 22, 2018]

I've been able to provide to all of you, some of the best hacks and tricks for your tablets, for both the rooted and non-rooted varieties. I've been able to teach myself to do things with these tablets I never thought I would be able to do. Most of the best advice and help has come from threads and individuals here on XDA. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without help from this site in one form or another. So before I present to you what is for now, likely to be my best hack so far, I want to thank everyone who has helped me, and put up with me The list is too long to mention individuals, threads and forums, but all of you are what keep me going at all of this so thank you!
Below is just a general list of the settings I have been able to reactivate. They are settings Amazon, for whatever reason, decided they didn't want you to see or have. I have in no way created any of the features you are about to receive. Every single one of these features and settings are all part of the Android Project (the Java code is quite clear on that). I simply added or replaced Amazon settings with Android's stock settings. This isn't a mod. This isn't a theme. This is nearly a complete rewrite and redevelopment of the FireTabletSettings.apk (which also happens to be the android settings package com.android.settings renamed by Amazon) and as such I give permission for this development of this APK to be open sourced and give permission for you to redistribute it.
This will only works on the HD 10 running FireOS 5.6.0.0 through 5.6.2.0 You must follow installation instructions for this to work, and like any installation, could soft brick your device if instructions aren't followed. I am not responsible if it doesn't work for your tablet, or if you don't have the same results. So if you aren't prepared for the possibility of flashing back to stock firmware, then don't try this APK!
Features:
Wireless:
-Location Based Services: This takes you completely away from Amazon's location services, and redirects you to Stock Android. HERE Positioning is GPS. I am currently developing various integrations of AGPS. My ability to edit framework-res allows for a more advanced way of using AGPS, but it's been difficult to get it working 100%. I am pretty close though! Wait for future releases for this option to be fully functional. (NOTE: I have flashed Pico Gapps and later Nano (more on why in a future post. Your visual may vary.)

-Tethering and Hotspot: The hotspot will not work, but this is the title of the setting. This enables USB and Bluetooth tethering.
-VPN: Setup a Virtual Private Netowork
-Proxy: Setup a proxy
-Wi-Fi: tap Wi-Fi > three dots at upper right > advanced settings: Toggle scanning always available, avoid poor connections, keep wifi on during sleep, Use open wifi automatically, Wi-Fi frequency band which needs framework-res mod and Wi-Fi Direct
Apps and Games:
-Apps with usage access: Determine which apps ask for the access and revoke or grant this permission
-Advanced Settings: Toggles advanced settings to uninstall app for current user. (Do this via the app list. Only good for user apps. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't. Work in progress)
-Preferred install location: Internal, external SD, or let system decide
Display:
-Wallpaper: Decide what app sets your wallpaper. If you uninstalled Amazon Photos, you CANNOT YET change the lock screen wallpaper here (work in progress). Please see my guide here on how to change your lock screen wallpaper without Amazon Photos
-Toggle adaptive brightness
-Daydream screensaver (you meed to modify the framework-res APK as instructed here, for this setting to appear and work)
-Display Mirroring: Does not work, or I can't get it to connect to a device at least. You see devices come into and out of range, the UI works, and enabling certification in developer options works too. This also needs a framework-res modification or add persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 to build.prop. Work in progress (so close)
Security:
-Trust Agents: Only shows an option if you have play store installed or flashed Gapps
-Screen pinning: Allow a screen to stay pinned until you unpin it
-Credential Storage
Sound and Notification:
-Other sounds: Enable Screen lock sounds, dock and touch sounds
-Dock speaker options if you have them
Keyboard and Languages:
-Language: Directed to AOSP
-Voice input settings: Must have Google Play and Google App installed
-Text-to-speech settings: Must have Google Text to speech engine installed as a system app. Also toggle PicoTTS. IOVANA TTS is not compatible for the English language and is unsupported
-Spell Checker: Fire Keyboard is default. Install Gboad to toggle it. Might need to be a system app
Accessibility:
-Screen Reader
-Color Correction
-Text-to-speech settings again
-Touch and Hold Delay
Installation and Requirements:
-ADB
-ADBD Insecure
-Rewritten FireTabletSettings.apk provided at the bottom of the post
1. Download ADBD Insecure and open it. Check the box to make ADBD insecure. Plug your tablet into your PC.
2. Place the FireTabletSettings.apk into your ADB/platform tools folder. Making sure the box is checked in step one, open an ADB window and run the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push FireTabletSettings.apk /system/priv-app/FireTabletSettings/FireTabletSettings.apk
adb reboot
3. Check your Settings. Profit
Thank you everyone. Look for future releases as I get more options working.
Change Log:
May 31, 2018: Support for 5.6.0.0, 5.6.0.1 and 5.6.1.0
June 24, 2018: Fix setting fragments in setting 'use open Wi-Fi automatically'

No I don't have flashfire. I installed it with a tutorial on internet and it worked and after rooting and your mod I didn't work anymore. There isn't anything special in the location services. They are on but when I use Google maps my location inst precise and any app that uses the services don't work the weather apps can't find my location.

Maps works perfectly for me. I haven't any weather services installed though. Your services not working might have helped me though and given credit to a proof of concept for agps working. For now install activity launcher. The one in this post is designed to launch activities with root. Open it and scroll to settings and tap it. Scroll to wireless and select the one that has location activity com.android.settings.Settings$LocationSettingsActivity. that will bring you back to the Amazon settings. See if you accidentally turned them off. I'll work on an apk that doesn't have my modification to it until I figure out what's wrong. Give me an hour or two to upload one.

Scroll to wireless and select the one that has location activity com.android.settings.Settings$LocationSettingsActivity. that will bring you back to the Amazon settings. See if you accidentally turned them off. I'll work on an apk that doesn't have my modification to it until I figure out what's wrong. Give me an hour or two to upload one.

Ok. I do apologize. I'll get you a fixed apk asap. Here is the root launcher.

Did you update your APK with the new files ? Should I just reinstall the new files that you uploaded?

I'll try to upload it tonight. If I can't get to it I'll do it as soon as I get home from work tomorrow. That apk will launch activities with root. If you install it, scroll to settings, then tap it. Scroll to wireless and tap the one with location settings. That brings up Amazon location settings. See if it's turned on.

Another question I'm a total noob with Adb shell. How should I install the file? Normal installation or should I use the Adb shell?

I can't choose which services to use or maybe I don't get it... I installed it normally but it doesn't seem to work... Don't know

Ok didn't read it well. So went to settings and location exactly like you told me but I don't see anything turned off. I'll show you 2 pics with what I have.

You have to use adb shell and you have to install it according to OP. Normal installation won't work. Using ADB like this disable signature verification in the package and allows the apk to be installed, and keep original signature.

How does it work with the Adb shell? What commands do I have to type?
I'm sorry I'm really bad at it.
I just installed it normally for the moment.

In the original post. Download the FireTabletSettings APK put in ADB folder;
Download ADB Insecure and open it https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 Check the box to make ADBD insecure. Plug your tablet into your PC.
2. Place the FireTabletSettings.apk into your ADB/platform tools folder. Making sure the box is checked in step one, open an ADB window and run the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push FireTabletSettings.apk /system/priv-app/FireTabletSettings/FireTabletSettings.apk
adb reboot.

[Wear OS App] Enable Google Pay in unsupported countries using Permanent Proxy!

Simple app to set the built-in proxy setting on a Wear OS device and enable geo-restricted apps like Google Pay in unsupported regions!
Sometimes big companies decide that Geoblocking is a good idea. I don't agree. So that's why I created this Wear OS app to allow users to use their watch as if they were in another country. This means you can use certain payment apps or otherwise geospecific apps wherever you are in the world!
The app uses Android's built-in http_proxy command that turns on a proxy for the whole system and which normally can only be accessed using a computer and ADB Shell. This app however, uses the "ADB over Bluetooth" functionality of the watch to enable the proxy by itself. This can even be turned on at boot!
Installation
Method 1: Download the latest mobile-release.apk from https://github.com/Jolanrensen/PermanentProxy-for-WearOS/releases or from https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/nl.jolanrensen.permanentproxy and install it on your Android phone. Next, go to the "Apps on your phone" section in the Play Store on your Wear OS watch. Install Permanent Proxy.
(Google removed this ability sadly)
Method 2: Download the latest wear-release.apk from https://github.com/Jolanrensen/PermanentProxy-for-WearOS/releases. Install it on your Wear OS watch directly using ADB.
Wear installer can also be used:
Wear Installer makes it easy to sideload Wear OS apps again
A new app called Wear Installer makes it easy to sideload apps on your Wear OS smartwatch using your phone. Read on to know more!
www.xda-developers.com
Get started
To get started, first enable the Developer Options of your watch, which can be achieved by going to Settings -> System -> About and tap the Build number until you are a "developer". Next, go to Settings -> Developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debug over Bluetooth". Finally start up Permanent Proxy, request permission and press "Allow" or "Always allow this Computer" if prompted. After requesting permission, ADB can be turned off again to save battery, unless you want to turn off the proxy completely.
Now you can get started! Simply enter a proxy address and port, enable it (and on boot if you like) and you're done!
Proxy services can be found online and can be from any country. However, do make sure you completely trust the proxy you chose before you enter it! All the data of your watch might be sent through that proxy, even sensitive data, so act at your own risk. I personally recommend strongly to create your own proxy. This can be done easily using the (trial of) Google Cloud. A tutorial can be found below:
Having trouble getting permission?
Some older watches are not powerful enough to get Secure Settings permission by itself using my method. If this is the case for your watch, you will need a PC to grant Permanent Proxy permission. The instructions are also available in the app description.
First make sure to connect your watch to your PC via ADB. You can Google how to do this, there are lots of tutorials. When your watch is connected, use the command
Code:
adb shell pm grant nl.jolanrensen.permanentproxy android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
to give Permanent Proxy the permissions needed to turn on/edit the proxy.
To turn off the proxy, connect to your PC in the same manner as before, but now you will need the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings delete global http_proxy; adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_host; adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_port; adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_exclusion_list; adb shell settings delete global global_proxy_pac_url; adb shell reboot
How to create a proxy on Google Cloud? (May 2020)
Go to console.cloud.google.com.
If you want to activate the free trial in the top-right corner, you can!
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fill in your information. You can pick your own country. It doesn't matter for the proxy.
Next you can create a new project by clicking here on the top bar, or you can use the default one.
From the sidebar on the (top)left, go to Compute Engine and VM instances:
And let's create a new VM instance:
Fill in the settings. Make sure the region and zone are set to a supported region for Google Pay on Wear OS. A safe bet is always to pick the US for this. For the machine type, just pick the cheapest one. This is fast enough for the proxy.
Next, we change the boot disk...
...to, let's say, the latest LTS version of Ubuntu:
After selecting, enable both HTTP- and HTTPS traffic
And, press Create!
Wait for it to load and then we can press "SSH" to connect to the VM. We can also already see the External IP. This is the IP our proxy will have eventually.
This opens up a terminal where we can start to set up the proxy!
Type "sudo adduser squid", enter and then it will create a new user. It will ask for a new password and to retype it. You can pick whatever you like. After this it will ask you for details. Just press enter until you're done.
Next, to add the user, type "sudo usermod -aG sudo squid"
Let's update the packages by typing " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade". This might take a bit...
Now let's install squid using "sudo apt-get install squid" and press enter on "Do you want to continue?".
Also install nano, to be able to edit the config, using "sudo apt-get install nano".
Now that squid is installed, let's set it up. Type "sudo cp /etc/squid/squid.conf /etc/squid/squid.conf.bak" to make a backup of the config (If you mess up, you can restore it using "sudo cp /etc/squid/squid.conf.bak /etc/squid/squid.conf"), and to start editing the config, type "sudo nano /etc/squid/squid.conf".
Go to line 1411 by pressing Ctrl, Shift and -, and typing 1411, or use Ctrl+W to search for "http_access deny all". Replace "http_access deny all" with "http_access allow all" to make sure we can connect to the proxy.
Go to line 1907 by pressing Ctrl, Shift and -, and typing 1907, or use Ctrl+W to search for "http_port 3128". Replace 3128 by a random 5-digit number under 65536 (and make sure it's not a commonly used port, for security. Check wikipedia to find out which ports are common.) and note this down. This will be your port for the proxy.
Save the file using Ctrl+O and then press Enter. Next, leave nano using Ctrl+X. You'll end up back on the command line.
Restart squid using "sudo systemctl restart squid" and check if it's running using "sudo systemctl status squid".
Were done here! Type "exit" until the window closes.
Now we need to go to "Setup Firewall Rules. This setting can also be found under VPC network, Firewall rules from the side menu.
For both "default-allow-http" and "default-allow-https" we need to add our port. So for each, click on the name...
...hit Edit...
...and add the random port you chose before, with a comma in front, after the one already present in the tcp field.
Save, and then you're done (After you did both).
You should now be able to connect to the proxy using the Permanent Proxy app. Use the external IP mentioned above and the random port you came up with to connect.
If there's ever abnormally large usage of the vm or you're getting billed more than expected, quickly change the port to something else, as it might have been indexed by a free proxy website.
Some tips:
Create your own proxy. Free proxies might work, but usually they stop working within a couple of days if they work at all. A tutorial can be found above.
Proxies with a password don't work.
Don't sideload Google Pay on your watch. It should enable by itself.
Clearing the data of Google Pay using the settings on the watch also helps sometimes. You can also find remove updates / disable the app there.
After enabling the proxy, exit the app, give your watch some time and then check back in the Permanent Proxy app to see whether your External IP has changed to the one you entered as proxy. If so, good job, you're connected!
You can make your watch refresh its Google Pay availability check in two ways. Either by setting the IP/port again in the Permanent Proxy app, or by tapping "Home App" in Settings, System, About, Versions.
Does Google Pay still not appear? Sometimes you have to enable it by searching Google Pay in the Play Store. You can also use the Pay Enabler app, which takes you to the Google Pay page in the Play Store.
Google Pay works if you see the icon in your quick settings.
Google Pay gets stuck when adding a new card? Check the Google Play stores for updates for Google Pay.
Only cards you can use to pay with your phone in stores can be added to Google Pay on your watch. This means you'll need a card from a supported Google Pay country.
Permanent Proxy only works for IPv4 networks. If you're on a network that uses IPv6, in theory, Google can still check your country. Turn off WiFi if you have to.
Using a VPN on your phone that routs the internet traffic of the Wear OS app through it is an alternative to Permanent Proxy, but you'll have to turn off WiFi on your watch, only use Bluetooth and keep the VPN on your phone always on.
Uninstalling Permanent Proxy will not stop the proxy. Stop the proxy using the app before uninstalling it, or stop the proxy using the ADB command above.
Google Pay might not work if your Google account was created in a non-supported country. Try creating a new Google account (or migrating your own) using a VPN to a supported country, like the US (Failing to do so can result in "this app is no longer compatible with your device" on the Play Store at the Google Pay page). Your account is successfully migrated to the US, for example, if you see $ dollars in the Play Store. This must be your main account on the watch.
Permanent Proxy might not work if your watch connects to cellular directly.

I have removed all your duplicate threads. Next time, use the Report Post system. Your @ mention didn't do anything.
:good:

Hi @Humpie,
wow, good job with that! I would like to try it, but is there any option to also fill login and password? I prefer to pay for some private proxy, but i think all of these services offer just with login/password.
Thank you for your answer!

I'm looking to see if it's possible but this is entirely dependent on Android itself. To start the Proxy I use the adb shell command "adb shell settings put global http_proxy <address>:<port>", which doesn't allow for credentials. So, if you find how to enable a proxy using adb with password, please let me know!

Actually, can you try something for me as you might have a proxy with login.
I came across this "<username>:<password>@<yourproxy.com>" being used as address. Maybe this would work as the address?

Good idea, but i don't have a ":" on my watch keyboard

LOL XD. Forgot about that.
Well, I do have a semi solution. If you long press the space bar, you can switch to handwritten mode where you cán type a ":". Good luck XD
But if it works I'll of course add a "username" and "password" option in the app itself.
Edit: if you can't do it on your watch, maybe you could try to type a proxy like this on a Wifi network on your phone! I don't have a proxy with username and password myself so I cannot check, unless you know a free one .

v2.0:
ADB over Bluetooth only needs to be enabled the first time using the app (more battery life yay!)
Way faster proxy switching using WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
New amoled black theme with better layout

It works!
Thanks! Now I can pay with a watch in the Czech Republic. Only port settings cannot be deleted if I enter the port incorrectly. The application data must be cleared and then re-entered.

Great to hear!
And thanks for the feedback, I do notice as well that the app crashes when you submit an empty port, I'll have a look at that. However, you can also just drag the cursor to the end and use the backspace key if you want to change it!

Possibly fixed proxy not turning off properly. A reboot always turns it off if enable on boot is disabled.
Added clearer loading screen and easier setup
before:
ADB over Bluetooth only needs to be enabled the first time using the app
Way faster proxy switching using WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
New amoled black theme with better layout

Big update! Better in every way XD

Yup I'm aware. I've been trying to explain and change the app in a lot of ways to make Google's software recognize that the app does NOT get stuck at the "requesting permissions" screen. It's completely bonkers that they cannot just wait for 5 seconds. This is the reason it gets blocked from the play store.
Maybe v3.2 will be accepted, who knows. I'll keep you up to date.
Until then you can indeed sideload the Wear version from github on your watch or install the mobile version from github (or XDA Labs) on your phone and the app will appear in "Apps on your phone" in the Play Store on your watch.

Any proxy suggestions...tried a few but none worked.
