You need a rooted device. There are few applications that do not need root, but I do not know about them.
And I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device.
Not available for country
I was told there are so many ways but none of them are working now due to some restrictions by Google and I am able to download the applications that are not meant to my country (India) and that are not meant to my device.
In order to do that, we need a VPN application which makes the servers think that you are browsing from the allowed country. But that's not it. You should also have a Google account that's created in that country. So if you want to download an application that is only available for USA, you should have the Gmail account created in USA (in our case, USA servers).
There are so many VPN applications availabe on the store as well as from unknown sources to download.
I have tried VPN One Click, Hideman VPN, and DroidVPN personally and liked all of them. I was not really sure that these are well trusted, I will leave about them to you so you better check the review before you download them.
Basically, we are here trying to bypass your service providers IP address and make the online services (websites or play store) look like you are connected from a different country. So download your choice of VPN application and install it. In our example, let us think we are downloading an application that is meant for USA. Once the VPN is installed, set it to access through USA servers.
Now open a web browser and check yourself that you are directed to the USA based websites when search for something. Once that's done, create a dummy Gmail account. Once created, open Play Store, tap on settings > Accounts > Add Account. Now add the dummy account to your Android device. Make sure the Play Store shows both the accounts. It doesn't matter which was set to default, you can always change it. After you have added it, the apps will be downloaded/synced. You don't need to sync all your device data to this dummy account.
Now we have to delete all the data of the Play Store. Go to Settings of your device > Apps/Applications. Search for Play Store and tap on "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data" then Force Stop the app.
Now Re-Open the Play Store and you should be asked to accept the Terms of Services (make sure the VPN is still running and account of Play Store should be set to the dummy Gmail account). You should be placed in the USA based Play Store. Now you can search for the app and download it.
Not available for device
This will be helpful if you want to download an app that's not available for your device but you want to try it.
There are again so many apps that makes masks Play Store service. Out of which I have used is called one that's called Market Helper.
Download and install this app to your device. Open it and choose the type of device you want to make your device look like. In this case, we again are trying to download a Galaxy S3 supported app on non supported device. So select the type of your device as Phone and the phone as Samsung Galaxy S3. Set the Operator to USA and AT&T or anything else. Once all set, tap on Activate. Now go to Play Store and search for the application that's not available for your device.
Note : If you are trying to download an application that's not available in your country and also for your device, you need to setup both of the above instructions.
If you are having difficulty after trying everything, unlink your Credit Card details from your Google Account. You will have to log into Google Wallet to remove it.
Cannot connect google servers
Hi,
When i try to add new account it returns an error:
"Couldn't sign in"
"There was a problem communicating with Google servers.
Try again later"
Any idea? I used Hideman VPN.
Edit:
I was getting this error after typing password and next.
I don't know if it has any effect but turned off my phone, removed sim card
connected via VPN again, just entered google play with existing account and it asked a prompt from me for terms of usage. Accepted and searched for the application i tried to install which was not avalible for my country. (It should be actually but wasn't able to install after i rooted and installed PAC ROM 4.3.1)
Thanks again!

Hi,
Is this app really safe to use? It won´t steal data or hurt my phone, right? Thanks in advance.
You can do this job by using Rocket VPN which is free and safe to use.
Updating google play country
Ok so I contacted google today as I was trying to download an app that was restricted in the previous country I was in.
I had previously tried using vpns etc with no luck (LG G3)
Since this is my first post I am not permitted to post links yet, so add https:// to the start of each url
Below is their troubleshooting guide to fixing the issue, I'm assuming that putting in any country you like would allow you to access that countries store.
The content available in Google Play varies by country, and we use your home address in your Google payments service account to help determine which version of Google Play you see.
If you're having issues viewing your country's version of Google Play, please try the following troubleshooting steps (ideally using a browser on a desktop or laptop computer, but on a mobile device will work also):
1. Sign into payments.google.com and click the Settings icon on the left.
2.Click Edit next to the "Name and Address" and update the address (please note this is different from the "Address book" which holds shipping addresses).
3. Open the Google Play website and navigate to any paid item available for download at play.google.com/store/apps.
4. Click to begin a download until you reach the 'Accept and buy' screen (no need to complete the purchase).
5. Close Google Play and clear your browser cache if you're on a desktop or laptop computer.
6. Clear the cache and data of the Google Play Store, Google Play services, and Download Manager.
7. Wait 30 minutes.
8. Re-open Google Play. You should now see content that matches the country in your home address.
If these steps don't resolve your issue, you can also try purchasing a paid app and refunding it within the 2-hour return window in place of Step 4 above; however, returns like this can only be done in the Play Store app at this time.
If the country for your Google Play account still hasn't updated, please remove and re-add your Google account from your device.

Hi guys,
I wanna order the Nexus 5 from the US Playstore through a friend whose residential address I plan to use for the shipment.
Now what happens is if I login to the play store, it automatically redirects me to my country's play store where the phone is not available yet.
So how do I bypass this redirection and order it from the US Playstore myself?
Would I need a proxy server or something like that?
Would appreciate a kind response,
Cheers!
If you are using Chrome desktop browser. Download an extension called Hola and select USA as a vpn.
Fun fact. This will also allow you to watch American Netflix if you have a subscription.

Unchained 1.0: the unofficial Play Market client.
The core purpose of this app is to allow you to use Play Market without leaking any private information to Google.
Unchained will:
Allow you to browse the list of apps installed on your device, see new app versions available on Play Store, download and install them;
Work alongside official Play Market client as well as on device with no gapps at all;
Search the market to find and install new apps.
Unchained will not:
Install paid apps, even if you legally paid for it;
Leak any data to Google or anyone else;
Evolve into full-fledged Play Market client.
Require root permissions to install or operate.
Play Market account
To use Unchained you need to provide market account details. Use full gmail address and password, as well as android id. To get android id on a working android device dial *#*#TALK#*#* in stock dialer and look for "aid" or "androidid". More details on finding android id here, an app to get android id for you is here. The word is out there the android id must be linked to the account you provide. I can neither confirm nor burst this myth.
A word of warning
Accessing Play Market with unofficial tools violates Google terms of service. Your account may be blocked because of Unchained usage. I strongly advise you to use a disposable account for any of the unofficial Play Market access tools. I've been using these tools for a few years now and my account still works but it does not mean Google will not change its policy in the future.
Alternatives
APP Downloader will allow you to download any app using your browser.
NOGAPPS project can update installed apps, but cannot be installed alongside official Play Market client and requires root to install.

hi guys,
is there a way to buy and download themes without having google play store? i can get the free ones via aurora, but can't buy any. i tried logging in via browser, but it seems google wants me to register a device, before i can buy anything.
is there a workaround maybe? or another place/way to buy it?
for example this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=liv.substratum.theme
thanks a lot!
Yes, there's a way. Open play store in a web browser, log into your account, pay for theme. Then install Aurora Store, log into your account, install theme.
But most paid themes do license checks, which requires play store. So the theme would install, but fail to verify its' license. Aurora cannot confirm licenses. There are other ways to confirm licenses without PS, but they cannot be talked about on XDA. You really should just install GApps on your device and pay for the theme.
