[Q] Install US Apps Brazilian Nexus

Hi guys,
I'm back in android world, but this time, I am more newbie than never.
I got a Galaxy Nexus here in Brazil (called Galaxy X here) and I am trying to install US Apps, such Citi US app or Bank of America app but it is not possible, I think just because the phone is not from USA.
I have already tried to remove the sim card, connect in a USA VPN, but without success.
I there any way to do this? Some apps are really important for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

have you tried "market enabler"?
edit: ow, and what do you mean with "not possible"? you cant see the app or it gives you some kind of error?

Just look for the .apks online.

As someone mentioned Use Market Enabler, You are required to be "Rooted" however in order to fool the phone to think it's from a different region, Then simply choose Verizon/USA as your default Market choice. Works on both Play and the old Market. Or you can always use the power of Google to "arr" it.

the good of using market enabler is to make it be always updated... what is not the case when you just download an .apk file! what is a good thing when you are using it as bank client!

Thanks for all the replies.
Where can I find the "Market Enabler"?
Using the Play Store in the phone I can't even see the app. From the webpage it is possible to see the app, but it is blocked for my phone.
Thanks again.

You confused me completely with your last response thia...But I think I get the idea, But you don't need to update your MEnabler as mines is pretty old but does the job.

Download Here
here you go buddy. It's safe link anyways.

just remember, market eneabler needs a root phone to work.
and i meant with "keep it updated" is you can keep the app you downloaded (citibank in his case) updated, not market enabler itself!

Man! Thank you so much!!!!
Now I can install my bank apps...

Shortcuts not going to home screen using Nova Launcher

I am not sure if this is a bug or just something on my end. I can't find anyone else having this issue or not anywhere. I have Nova Launcher 2.1 and just recently installed Nova Launcher 2.1beta1 and am having the same issues. I wanted to create a shortcut to a document as I have done in the past. I have a few folders on a page to the right of my Home page. For some reason, I can't add any shortcuts. I am using either ES File Explorer or FX. When I hold on a document, and choose "Add to desktop" it would say, "Short cut added to desktop" yet it's no where to be found. However, if I go to the "Touch wiz" launcher, all the shortcuts are there instead...
Any ideas?

Hey buddy, i am in the exact same boat...infact i have posted the same question about a day or so ago here and didn't get any response: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288152&nocache=1
Im starting to think that im the only guy that wants to home screen my bookmarks/pages, until i seen your post here. I don't get how such a great launcher can not have the ability currently to homescreen bookmarks.
But as you said, when you flip over to another launcher they are there. I really don't know how to fix it or if there is a fix, i hope there is...as i want to continue using Nova.

I am in a similar situation. I guess the recent update of Nova would have bug on it. The issue I have is that I tried to add a S Note shortcut to the homescreen, but it wouldn't show up. It showed up on Touchwiz or other launchers.

What I don't understand is why though there is almost nobody with knowledge of it anywhere. Its like its the forbidden subject that nobody can speak of. I even emailed the developer and got nothing back.
Its just bothersome to me that with all the power that droid phones have, Nova simply can not let one add a shortcut to the home screen from web browsing.

Going back to 1.8 or 1.9 will probably solve this problem. ...

Checked now.
2.0.1 works without flaw. [can be Found in the official xda web post]
the latest release has included auto add shortcuts for newly installed apps-which obviously broke the shortcut add by app[fx ,es] features.

Any chance you could mirror the apk on Dropbox or something? I can't get the download from Baidu to compete, even after leaving it running all night on my last try.

Request apk for Viki, Crunchyroll or any apps for Google TV

Hello,
If somebody is kind enough, please post the apk for Crunchyroll and Viki for Google TV or any apps that on the Google TV.
Please don't point me to:
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
It does not work since evozi emulated T-Mobile devices to download apk. The Chrome extension does not work either since I don't have a Google TV devices to download from Google Play Store. So, if anybody has Google TV apks or figure out how to download all the apks for Google TV. Once I have all those apks, I will zip them and post it to my dropbox and share it with everyone if possible. Please let me know.
Thank you
EDIT: Link for apk to Crunchyroll, Viki, and Drama Fever from arunningpir8 below
https://www.dropbox.com/s/acilpqm3qbtub8v/gtv_apks.zip
I test all of them out. Viki and Drama Fever works great. Crunchyroll will give you a sideway screen. I recommend you use the normal Crunchyroll app, not the Google TV one.

you can download any free apk by putting the google play url into this website. http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

Any chance we could get a apk for the SiriusXM GoogleTV app? I cannot download it and it would work so much better than the phone application on the FireTV. I cannot provide a link to the Google PlayStore page as I do not have 10 posts yet. The apk is called com.siriusxm.gtvplayer.

dramafever gtv request
Can someone re-post the most updated version of the dramafevertv apk?
Viki works fine, and so does crunchy roll from the previous posts.
The dramafevertv apk posted from before stopped working about a month ago(November 2014) with the error "can't play this video" for all videos.
Much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Another android lover, who is missing out on some drama time.

Is there a newer version of the Google TV DramaFever app out there than 01.01.09 from about July 2014? I am getting that "can't play video" message on one of my Android sticks but I think it still works on my Revue and Amazon Fire Stick.

By the way, another app you can sideload is Dramania. You can get it from mobi24.net.
Also in the limited Amazon app store on the firestick, there is an app called MBC online that you can install directly.
Sent from a Freedompop HTC Evo 4G

Just tested on my AFS and the version of DramaFever app I have works. I am pretty sure it still works on the Logitech Revue as well. I also tested it on my old Samsung Fascinate running a 4.22 rom at it plays video.
I did notice that it stopped working on my Favi Smart Stick(running Android 4.04) starting in November. But since it works on some platforms, It doesn't sound like a server problem or change or an encoding issue.
The only thing I can think of is that the DramaFever app is having a problem all of a sudden calling the internal Google movie player app. I tried clearing data and defaults as well.
Sent from a Freedompop HTC Evo 4G

Thx
I have it side-loaded it on an Android box, it worked great until recently and I hoped there was a newer version out since I e-mailed dramafever with this error "can't play this video" and all they said was "update the apk to the latest version from the playstore". I know they haven't updated it since Sept.10/2013 version "01.00.09" on Gplay.
I guess I will have to wait until the next update whenever that is for a fix since its more of a server-side limitation for now than my client since it loads the pictures and I can login to my account no problem on my box which is weird.
I did try to re-install the apk and logging out of my account to test but to no avail. I also tried clearing the cache and clearing the data in the settings as well but that didn't fix anything either.
Any suggestions appreciated. I'm running Android 4.2.2 on my box.
Regards,
Drama Lover.

Are you having issues running it on a generic android box like me? or on an Amazon Fire TV device?
for some reason, it works on my Amazon Firestick(and other devices) but not on my generic Android stick(which I am trying to figure out as well). Like you, it was working well up to around November 2014.
I am running the same GoogleTV app version 01.00.09 on all devices which I backed up and restored from my Logitech Revue(I know they occasionally change their servers which could break the app and force you to upgrade). I don;t think it;s the app since it works on other devices on the same network. I wonder if an update to a Google service broke it on this device. Maybe something related to the internal movie player app.

I'm having issues on a generic android box like you. I don't have a stick so I can't test.
I'm sure I haven't updated anything on the box since November to android since I don't have gplay on it.
I didn't backup or restore, I directly side-loaded using the apk from a usb stick using an otg cable.
It probably isn't the app, its their servers not allowing access (maybe not allowing lower version android devices? but that shouldn't be it, what version are you running on your non-working android device?)
I don't even have google services on the android device haha, but it worked fine before it broke.
I'm stuck using Viki now which is not half bad, it just doesn't remember which episode I left off like with dramafevertv which is a shame.
Cheers

The version on my favi smartstick is 4.04. Yeah my first idea was they changed servers on the back end. But it still works on the Revue and my AFS. The Revue is running old ICS version 3.2.
The phone tablet version of Viki saves the location. But it has commercials. The Google TV version is better on the TV.

Okay I can confirm it works on the 1st Gen Fire TV Stick. If you have issues go into settings force close and clear cache before opening again. 1st time it worked and then I had could not connect to server issues but after doing that step it started working again. One other issue is that shows don't show up in the shows tab but you can access the latest aired episodes on the home page and even verify your service provider.

The Watch ABC app does and does it for free. However, the FireTV version seems to have LOWER quality than a sideloaded one from my phone (that requires a mouse to operate.) CBS has an app, but you have to pay to stream. NBC has a Sports Extra app that should live stream sports events, but I don't know about shows.
I'm a cord cutter and was planning on installing a large antenna on my roof to get the local networks. Instead, I got a relative to rent an additional cable box in their home and I bought a Slingbox to stream the video to my Fire TVs. I pay them $10 per month, which is the cost for the additional box, and get access to all their channels. The quality is good, but the slingbox app for the FireTV could be better. I wish the supreme court sided with Aereo. That would have been an acceptable solution, too.
