[Q] Is there any way to Crack Amazons appstore ?

I live in Brasil, and my 1-click settings at the amazon.com site is using a Brasilian international credit card, so as my brasilian address.
Since i am using my real information, i can't manage to use the Amazons app store at my Kindle fire and on my Xperia Arc.
I've already tried the whole thing if creating a new account, with fake data fetched from fakenamegenerator.com but it does not worked aswell.
Is there any way i can "crack" my appstore app so that it does not check for amazon.com feedback about my account country, or is this impossible ?
I really want to start using the app store from Brasil, let me know if there is anything i can do.
Thanks !

Why don't you try Google Play Store? That way it's easy to manage your apps in both devices.

I do use the play store but:
1. Not all the apps are tagged as compatible to my Kindle fire, forcing me to download the APK from the market and push it into the kindle manually
2. Amazon appstore have some free apps daily or weekly, which the play store does not have.

Are you rooted?
I know you can modify your build.prop to mask as another device to improve app compatibility. I've read that most apps that are said to be incompatible are not.

Yes i am rooted, and changing the build.prop file properties, sometimes help, sometimes dont.
But this is not the thread's question.
I would like to access the amazon app store, from Brasil.
1. Yes, i've tried proxies
2. Yes, i've tried fakenamegenerator.com
Edit: This is a new method, but it also failed to work for me :
http://spimitech.com/guides/access-amazon-apps-market-from-outside-the-us/
I've set the new card, billing adress using a hotel on international drive, and set the new payment method as 1-click.
App still saying that i don't have a US billing Address or Credit Card
None of those worked for me

A few good apps

Thought I would share some apps.
These apps are Google Apps for nonrooted devices. I say nonrooted, cause I assume people with rooted devices have already installed these apps.
1) Install Google Accounts Manager, reboot
2) Install Google Services Framework, reboot
3) Install Google Play Services, reboot - Latest working version 7.0.99
4) Install Play Store and login
http://www.4shared.com/rar/xFL01jekce/Google_Apps.html
Side Note: Google Play Store will not function correctly on nonrooted devices, but it still does things in the background so keep it installed. You can now install apps that need Google Play Services to run.
Live TV Streaming Apps. Mobdro, Live Stream Player, Mediahhh and World Sports Streams

Side Note: World Sports Streams uses XMTV Player and MX Player for all streams. I have provided XMTV Player but you will have to install MX Player, cause I use the pro version and I am not giving a paid app for free.
Third Party App Stores. Blackmart, Mobogenie, Aptoide and 1Mobile Market. These are great for installing apps and updating apps without needing Google Play. Also takes away the need for ADB sideloading.
http://www.4shared.com/rar/fXOGmk_pba/Third_Party_App_Stores.html
Tips: If you are gonna use the third party app stores do not auto update. Update apps one at a time and look at the version numbers to make sure its an actual update and not a down grade. All the apps I have listed in this post work much better with or require a mouse/touchpad to use.

A few good apps that work well on the fire TV that I think have become essential to my Fire TV experience:
DU Speed Booster
SD Maid
Dock4Droid (Best app I have used on the Fire TV)
AOL On (Not the Fire TV Version)
SPMC
Fast Reboot
8 Ball Pool
Facebook Desktop 2 also called FBD2
MirrorOP Reciever
DU Speed Booster and SD Maid for cleaning. I use DU Speed Booster then SD Maid, cause I have never found a cleaner yet for Android that deletes as much junk as DU Speed Booster, but as with all cleaners there is still junk left so I follow it up by cleaning with SD Maid to get even more junk off my device. No matter what cleaner you use SD Maid can still find more junk that can be deleted so I always use two cleaners. Dock4Droid is probably the best app I have found for the Fire TV. It makes the Fire TV so much better. It adds great multitsking and will also let you see app info from anywhere so that you can delete apps, force close apps or delete their data/cache fron anywhere. AOL On for news videos. Not the Fire TV version the version you get from the Play store or third party app stores. It has hundreds of outlets to lets you watch serveral generas of news. Fast Reboot used together with Dock4Droid is awesome. You can add the Fast Reboot shortcut to Dock4Droid and do a fast reboot from anywhere. 8Ball Pool, cause its like turning your TV into a pool table, and its a great game. Must use a mouse or touchpad to play though. FBD2 gives you a desktop version of Facebook without having to use a browser. I don't use Facebook a lot but when I do I use FBD2. MirrorOP Recever does the same as miracast, but its a backup for people that cannot mirror their device to the Fire TV. Just install MirrorOP Sender on the device you wanna mirror.

can you check that 4shared link? I cant seem to download. Tried 2 different devices. Thanks.

All links are correct. You eiither need a free account or login with Facebook, Twitter etc. If you are downloading them on Android, click the link then click download, but sometime it will take you to a different page for some reason, so hit back once and click download again, then pick free download and then either login to your free account or login through Facebook, Twitter etc.

4shared link down

All links I posted are working. Google drive may be better for you, but I use 4shared. I do not use anything just because someone else thinks its better. If you wanna downloaad the files either create a free account or just use you Facebook, Twitter etc to login to 4shared. I refuse to upoad my files to anoter site just because someeone is too lazy to create an account or connect through their Facebook etc.
Not trying to be rude at all, but I refuse to do anything for someeone who just wants me to make it easier for them to do something. It takes 20 seconds to create a 4shared account and 1 second to connect to 4shared with Facebook or Twitter. I have provided the files so if you want them you will have to download them from 4shared.

That's why I hate 4shared,they force you to (risk privacy) make an account.
It has NOTHING to do with laziness,more about privacy,they even bait you into thinking you could download files without needing an account,only to prompt so.
They used to be GOOD where you didn't have to do stupid stuff just to download a file.
It's like Dropbox pushing you twice to make an account when downloading a file,and it puts the "no thanks" link too far on the screen (Opera for Android via FireTV) where you have to first manipulate it with doubleclick zoom before bringing up the prompt,but at least you don't HAVE to create an account.
In some cases,a 4shared download can be directly accessible without making an account,but I can't remember how the link text looked.
In the near future,I reccommend 2shared,as I always have a great experience with that site.

Actually 4shared added the account login feature to make their site more secure. Also its just an ad that pops up and 99.9% of sites do similar stuff, cause its how they make money from advertisers. They also added the social network connection feature cause it is way more convenient to most people, and they added it because people asked them to add the feature so that they could connect through Facebook etc. There is very few sites or games that do not have the same exact feature that 4shared has, they are even a lot of sites, apps and games that require you to connect using GMail, Facebook or twitter. You would be hardpressed to find a website, app or game that does not require you to either give your email, Facebook, Twitter etc.Also, there is not one major file sharing site that does not either have a popup or a redirect page. The difference is that most of them have a popup which does not get in the way, while 4shared has a redirect instead of the popup. The popup and redirect do the same exact thing, it shows an ad to usually download something, which is not a big deal at all, cause all you have to do is go back one page and continue downloading what you were there to download before the redirect ad popped up. I get redirect ads all the time even on this very site. If popup and redirect ads kept people from using sites then people would basically have to stop using almost every website on the internet. If giving your email or connecting through Facebook is bad then why use XDA, cause they require you to give an email address or connect through Facebook, Twitter etc.

Because I am actually involved in using XDA for replying,making posts,and other useful things,while 4shared is merely a file sharing site,XDA is a community driven forum of developers,testers,and users alike for Android devices of all kinds.
(though I find XDA's current interface frustrating compared to the old design)
It took me a bit just to find the quote button on your post.
At first,I thought it was the " icon,boy was I wrong!

4shared is not just a file sharing site. Its also a place to store media or whatever else you want to store. 4shared does not require any information that any other site doesn't ask for, So I am not sure how you can say they invade your privacy. Every site you use will require you to login to use the functions of that site. 4shared is also used on devices of all kinds, not just android. There is a 4shared app for several different OS platforms. 4shared is a legit site and is not sketchy like most other file storage sites that are basicaly just a place to downlad free movies. 4shared is not rapidshare or one of the other shady sites, and thats why they require you to login. If you notice all the highly illegal sites do not require you to login to upload or download, but 4shared does, cause they are not like those sites. 4shared is more geared towards storage than sharing.

4shared 4shared Just pointing that out... XD
I was just saying it is not a forum,so it shouldn't make an extra 100,000+ people become members just because they needed to download something from it.
Of course you should have to be logged in to upload files,but not for simply downloading them.
Sure,they can make a feature to require one to be logged in to download certain files the uploader marks for requiring it though.

The thing you are not realizing is that 4shared does not force anyone to do anything, cause the internet does not revolve around 4shared. There are hundreds of other ways to get the same files that are on 4shared. You do not have to use 4shared. Every single file that I have linked to 4shared is widely availale in thousands of other places. A search engine is a beautiful thing and if you do not wanna downlad files from 4shared just use google, bing, yahoo or the search provider of you choice to find it elsewhere. Also comparing a forum and a file storage site is apples to oranges. There are also a lot of people that use storage sites a lot more than they use forum sites. You are making a big deal out of nothing. Every legit site makes you login to use their services.

That escalated quickly...

Download from 4shared or find your own files. Pretty simple and straightforward. Don't think we need ten posts about what one likes over another.

With 5 out now we should be able to install the Android TV Launcher, and with it, the Android TV Play store. I tried to sideload the APK from GAPPS but it failed. Perhaps it has other dependencies. Anyone have any suggestions?

Is there any way to Redirect or open APP Links only on Google Play Store?

Hi all,
I am using my two Fire Phones with the latest FireOS 4.6.1, and I must say that all works now much better, faster and smooth!!!
However I have some problems with some APPs that needs redirect to the Google Play Store...
When I was using my Fire Phone with FireOS 3.6.8, all APPs like AppGratis AppsZoom, Always opened a litle floating window, and always gave me the option to select between "Google-Play-Store" and "Amazon APP Store"...
But now after the FireOS 4.6.1, I only have the option to select, on the floating window, only the Amazon APP Store.
The Problem is that some APP offerts are only available from the Official Google Play Store and not from the Amazon APP Store!
So, I would like to know if there is any way to Redirect or open APP Links only on Google Play Store?
Thanks in advance for help!

I don't have that problem. My Amazon App store is not disabled and when I click on a playstore link it gives me two options: open with playstore or silk browser.
My system is very basic: 4.6.1, 4 google apps installed, and disabled the following: Amazon device client platform, DCP platform contracts, and two apps called System Updates.
Try and see if that works for you.

Those, together with the system update apps, and a few other binaries, download updates and patches. I didn't want Amazon to use this mechanism to patch my root method. I disabled only these four because with more apps disabled the map or some other Amazon app will stop working.
If you decide to do it I don't recommend using Titanium. Just go to settings, then applications, and use the disable button there to do so.

This can be done by going into settings, applications, Amazon apps, appstore and choosing don't open links in appstore.

Can you offer the steps?

I've tried this and external markets still don't work within Google Play apps- tried an office app and an assistant app- both will not install key components after initial install because "External Market Links Disabled" and "You can choose to open external links with the Amazon Appstore. Update the option in the External Markets Links section of the Appstore Settings."

You should be ablessing to do it in settings but if you can't then root is your friend:

Thanks ratbags for your reply and information, however as khaan13 already has mentioned, I have found that this method does not work at all...
That is why I was asking of some kind of APP, that could perform this function automatically!
Maybe I'm asking too much, or perhaps we will need to ROOT the Fire Phone, but although we don't know it yet, have to be available some APPs that will help, redirecting the links only to the Google Store Play?
Curiously this was working flawlessly with the previous FireOS 3.68, but it stopped working with the newest v4.61...

khaan13, please tell me the names of the apps or PM me...

Installed Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, Google Account Manager & Google Play Store.
@ ulises.rodriguez It seems like the Amazon Appstore overrides all other external market services. That's why you can only choose CANCEL or CONTINUE when the "Continue to Amazon Appstore?" question pops up.
I know, having both Stores active at the same time would be more comfortable but you have to deactivate the Amazon Appstore when you want to use external market links, e. g. for AppGratis offers.
AFAIK, there's no "market switcher" that could help you solve this issue, so for now: stick with en-/disabling it manually.
MAYBE, you guys should compare the version numbers of Amazon Appstore, Google Play Services & Play Store, ask najoor what he's using and see if it makes a difference.
Mine: Play Services 7.5.73 (1976294-036), Play Store 5.6.8, Amazon Appstore release version, no update. (Device remains unrooted during testing)
edit: I now disabled all apps through "manage applications", all but the Amazon Appstore. Still the same behavior: Appstore intercepts all external market links. It shows no option to choose between Play Store and Appstore.

Thank you for your reply and your offer to assist. I have a brand new fire phone, upgraded to the latest OS. I side loaded Google Play using the common technique you mentioned above. I did this first before the upgrade to the latest OS (3.6 something OS), but the Google Play store was would not run. Tried reinstalling GP a couple of times. Read somewhere that someone had luck after an Upgrade to the latest OS. That worked for me. I am able to get some apps to work flawlessly- I had a Google Play version of Injustice - and it works great. SpeaktoIt Assistant - won't finish the install because of Amazon. But some Google Play apps that want to add additional functions or upgrade will try to open Amazon store instead of Google Play. I've also had problems with OfficeSuite 8 Pro.
Thanks again...
My versions:
Fire OS 4.6.1 (461013820)
Google Play Store 5.6.8
Any ideas?
Google Play Games 3.0.11
Google Play Services 7.5.71
Google Services Framework 4.04-3386891

@ khaan13 I tried "Assistant" & "OfficeSuite 8 Pro", both install and work without problems, as long as the Amazon Appstore is deactivated. No surprise at this point, really. :/
@ ulises & khaan "Market Switcher": I tried a workaround on a rooted device:
Installed "Titanium Backup (Pro)" and created a new widget ➜ "Titanium Backup (Actions)" ➜ "Freeze / Defrost / Launch an app" ➜ "select the app" Appstore (version blabla...) ➜ "Create the widget".
Now I have a little button widget that controls the Amazon Appstore. At least it's practical and I don't have to navigate through several menus to de-/activate the Appstore.
Tap once:
{
"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",

}

1000thanks Bingo Bronson for all your help!
I will let you know if works on my Fire Phone...

Another question
When you say deactivate the amazon store, which process do you mean?
1) Settings - Applications / Parent Controls - Configure Amazon Application Settings - Appstore - In-App purchases (disabled) and External markets (do not ask)
OR
2) Settings Applications / Parent Controls - Manage Applications - Appstore - Disable
If I choose "Disable" it warns me that data will be erased and then asks if I want to "cancel" or replace the app with the factory version".
What do I do here if this is what I am supposed to do?
Thanks

[Q] How to prevent Firephone to go to app store and go to google

When in my launcher (lightning) if I get " item is not installed .search Google play, or pick an other app if I click on play store I got "continue to Amazon appstore? This app is trying to open a link with an external market that is not available bla bla.."
is there a Xposed module to prevent this behavior and go direct to Google play? without his warning poping up and preventing to go to Google play

I think that is the same redirection problem that I am also having, because when I was using my Fire Phone with FireOS 3.6.8, all APPs like AppGratis AppsZoom, Always opened a litle floating window, and always gave me the option to select between "Google-Play-Store" and "Amazon APP Store"... But now after the FireOS 4.6.1, I only have the option to select, on the floating window, only the Amazon APP Store.
I hope that there is an APP that could redirect and enable to select and open other APP Stores, not only the Amazon APP Store..
I already post a question in the forum about the same problem, but never got any reply:

When in my launcher (lightning) if I get " item is not installed .search Google play, or pick an other app if I click on play store I got "continue to Amazon appstore? This app is trying to open a link with an external market that is not available bla bla.."
is there a Xposed module to prevent this behavior and go direct to Google play? without his warning poping up and preventing to go to Google play

This is being discussed in another thread that @ulises.rodriguez mentioned. So have a look there.
And also since this is a question it should be moved to the Q&A forum so if you don't mind I will ask a moderator to move it there. Your chances of getting an answer is better there anyway.

[APP] Yalp Store - Install all your AndroidTV app on the FireTv painless

¡¡IMPORTANT!! -I'm not the developer of this app, or affiliated with the devs. Just want to share my experience
Hi everyone,
One of my biggest problem with the fire tv stick was to find the apks of the android tv version of an app, which usually isn't the same apk that you have installed on your phone (and are impossible to find ). I found this app called YalpStore that basically lets you download apps from the play store as an android tv device and doesn't require Google play services.
How to use:
-Download the app from xda labs and sideload it on your fire tv
-Open the app, click on the menu button on your remote and select "search"
-if asked, select "log in without google account"(experimental)
-to navigate inside the app, you may need the "mouse toggle" app to emulate a mouse pointer (or a Bluetooth mouse)
Install the apps and enjoy

Hope it is useful

I just found this app too. Using my google account I was able to download apps that I have paid for and directly load the and install the app. There is a tutorial https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/7il7qx/tutorial_how_to_download_any_android_tv_game/ You can download the Yalp app https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstorehttp://
I don't believe you need to be rooted to use this Yalp.
Within Yalp are some options to blacklist andn whitelest apps but I have not experimented to see if that has any validity on my Firstick 1, x5.2.6.0, rooted.

nice

Search bug in android kitkat
Hi, thanks for this so useful app,
But the search return always nothing,
Although the apps appears in the categories menu, but the search doesn't work at all...
Perhaps only on kitkat ? I have a Samung S4 android kitkat
Hope you will fix it soon :good:

Seems like developer just abandoned this project. And based on commit history He's missing himself since October 2018.
I'd recommend Yalp's fork - AuroraStore. Though didn't use it myself, it's at least have active commits...
