Update 3:
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
The developer, MrGreg, has created a dedicated website for the distribution of Roam Control. The application will remain off the Google Market for now.
Relevant blog posts from the new website: http://www.roamctrl.com/
Jan-03-2011:
Roam Control 2.1.0 is now available. It contains the same functionality as versions 2.0.0 (which were previously available in the market), but it was updated to be compatible with the new servers. Please see the download page for links.
Jan-01-2011:
Roam Control for Android is now available through this website! We appreciate your patience while we transitioned from the Android Market to our own site. The website is still under construction, but we will be adding more information in the coming weeks.
Many things have been implemented from the ground up (PayPal integration, licensing server, etc), so please let us know if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions. Thanks!!

Update 2:
It once again appears that the application was pulled off the Market by Google.
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
NOTE (12/21/2011): I'm sorry to report that Roam Control has pulled from the market yet again. It's the same story as before...I received an automated email from Google that did not provide any specifics on why the app was pulled. I have tried to appeal the decision numerous times, but I have yet to receive any type of acknowledgement or response from the Android market team.
As a temporary solution for customers who have already purchased the app, the app can be downloaded here:
- For users who purchased the original app (version 1.7.0 or earlier), please use the version available here: LINK
- For users who purchased the new app (version 2.0.0.g2), please use the version available here: LINK
I'm obviously not going to put the app back on the market unless I get the go-ahead from Google. As an alternative, I will likely either make the app available through the Amazon Appstore or directly through this website. Please stay tuned for details.

Update 1:
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
NOTE (12/05/2011): Roam Control has been re-published in the market!! I appreciate your patience while I worked to resolve the situation. I still have not received a response from Google indicating why the app was pulled from the market, so be aware that it's possible they may pull the new versions as well.
For users who already purchased the previous app, please use the version available here: LINK
For new users who have not yet purchased Roam Control, please use the version available here: LINK

Just a FYI: Roam Control Website
Copied directly from the website linked above: said:
NOTE (11/29/2011): I received an email today from Google indicating that Roam Control was removed/suspended from the market. I did not receive any explanation, other than it was "due to a violation of the Developer Content Policy." I'm working on getting the app restored, however I've come to understand that Google is incredibly unresponsive in these situations. If I cannot reinstate the app, I will certainly make it available in some other fashion. To those who have already purchased the app, I certainly do not expect anyone to pay for it a second time. As a temporary measure, the latest version of the app can be downloaded here.

It looks as if the developer has made the application available at no cost as of right now.
It checks for license, so if you haven't purchased it already it won't work

Appreciate the heads up - for me, RoamControl is an essential app. Hopefully dev will patch it up with Google...
damn another app bites the dust. i feel bad for the dev he must have been making good money off this and now it will be twice as hard. hopefully google will resolve this

Roam control is mandatory for me. Hopefully the dev can get Google's ducks in a row and get it back in the market.

He should just sell the license direct from his own website via a paypal link.

I actually do want to give it away for free, I'm just using it to help support my family for now, I hope y'all can appreciate that.
The version that's linked on my website is the version that was pulled from the market, so it does still have the license check. I'm debating what to do at the moment...I wish Google would respond to my emails so I could make my decision. I appreciate your patience...

I sent you a couple of suggestions for this app a couple of months ago. Do you reply to all suggestions you receive??? I am just wondering if you received them at all and/or if I should resend.

Also, all proceeds (after fees) for 12/5, 12/6, and 12/7 (2PM CST cutoff) will be donated to one or more needy families in MN school district 621. One family is a single mom who is supporting two kids while dealing with health issues. Thank you for your generosity and kindness during this holiday season! I will provide the total amount donated, along with statements upon request.
i'm not sure if i quite understand what this app does versus me manually changing my roaming settings. Can someone explain for me? thanks !
Based on a thread from this forum, I managed to extract BBC iPlayer from amazon.co.uk registered FireTV. I then sideloaded it to my amazon.com registered. The iPlayer app appears under the app section. When I run the app, I get the following error :
"App not Owned.
You do not own this app. Would you like to see more details?"
If I click yes, I am sent to a window that says the app is not found.
If I leave the error on the TV for a few minutes, I get the following error:
"Authorization Expired
The time to authorize the user has expired"
Any ideas what this is?

Why not just download it from Amazon? Or are you using it out of the UK? If so if you use Kodi I'm pretty sure you can use on there, I know they have an add on for im but I'm from England so I have no problem using or downloading the BBC iplayer.

Can't download it as my box uses amazon in US. It there a way for me to buy the app in amazon.co.uk and then have it transferred over to my account is amazon.com?

Don't think there is mate? Maybe one of the other forum members in the US could help? Sure you could use the bbc iplayer on kodi? Or another add on for that perhaps?

Never got iPlayer to work but got access to some apps by adding a yen giftcard to account and removing my UK credit card. I've since cancelled my Amazon Prime account anyway so have switched back to UK account and thus a working iPlayer.
EDIT: I used the iPlayer addon in Kodi as an alternative for a while.
Sorry I can't be of any more help.
Have you tried changing your Amazon account region to UK, getting the app from amazon.co.uk an then turning the account back to your original region?
iplayer works fine.
Firstly - install the app 'properly' - no need for this sideloading process.
https://playmo.tv/2017/03/how-to-install-apps-from-different-regions-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/
I found after step 4 you have to log out of your amazon account (say amazon.com) and log into amazon.co.uk (your login details will work over all the amazon.*.* sites).
Then search for the app and push it out to your Fire TV device.
You will also need to use a geo-unblocker to make the app/fire TV think you are in the UK or the app wont work.
Say unlocator.com - but just google 'smart dns' or 'geounblocker'.
Looking for this free app https://www.amazon.com/Gaana-Bollywood-Music-Radio-Fire/dp/B06XWVS54P or https://www.amazon.in/Gaana-Bollywood-Music-Radio-Fire/dp/B06XWVS54P
Most likely available only to Indian customers. I am not able to download this on my fire tv, as its registered to a US address.
Thanks in advance if someone decides to help

I have a VPN so I can try to get it, I only ask that you check the app store version your Fire TV is running, and possibly upload or post a link to it. I at least need the version number though if you please...

Pravinvibhute, please upload the updated version of these apps. I am so grateful to you. For your kindness, I can use these apps, in my xiaomi mi box 3 android tv.

The apps require Amazon Appstore linking. I tried logging in to appstore, still doesn't work.
Does anyone have those app without Amazon linking.
I sideloaded a television providers app (Fios Mobile) installed on my device. The app was working perfectly but it just updated and I keep getting the error "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device".
I tried reverting back to the previous version but it was a mandatory update, so no dice. I tried sideloading the Google Play store but that did not help.
Is there a workaround for this type of error? The app does not API call any of Google Play Services. It seems like many of the TV apps are dropping support (they encouraged it a few years ago to lower bills) so you buy another Set top box. Other cable apps know you are inserting a device into a HDMI port and disable it from working that way.
I can download each individual TV app and enter my television providers password or mirror from my Android Phone but that would be a huge inconvenience.
Any suggestions? If there an app that will fool my TV app into thinking the play store is installed?
Since every channel pretty much has it's own app now, is there another app that will take its place instead of downloading each channels separate app and entering the password?
Is your firestick rooted? (Sorry, I don't know if they can even be rooted.) If so, there's an Xposed module to allow apps to work without Google Play Services.
Another idea is to get the Fios Mobile app from the Amazon App Store and side load that one onto your Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Services-Corp-FiOS-Mobile/dp/B00DGVUD9I/
That one may not have any dependencies on Google apps.

Seriously, you are giving me outdated information???? "Fios Mobile won't run unless you update Google Play Services". It would be nice to know where to find updated compatible versions for each. I have looked at several app stores and none seem to work. So please cut that attitude as your five-second search advice did not get me any further than I was before.

I tried two different app stores but not that Amazon one. Crossing fingers!!!! DARN. Just tried it and said incompatible, you can't make purchases from this device. Fios does support Kindle fire but as I suspect, they don't want the app as a box substitute like they used too.
Maybe, someone has an updated version of what Timmy P linked too. Hopefully, they will test the link first before making condescending remarks about checking older posts.

Because when I read that site from the original author it said FTV and FTV stick not 2 dumbass. Then I read the re-post on here claiming FTV 2 from MARCH 2017!! DId you not see where I said everything was working perfectly since September 4th!!!! Technology changes fast little tike. Google also updates and apps do along with it buttercup.
But I assumed someone with such a smug post must be correct but what a surprise you were not cupcake.
Since there is only 1 person who found a fix on the entire internet, it must not be a very easy fix. If it were, he could put it on APK sites for constant updates.
That is why I also asked 1: If there is a workaround. Easy/permanent if possible, so I don't need to worry about this update. Even easier if there is a 3rd party app that would consolidate all the apps and enter my default password for me.
P.S Being smug even when your correct is being an ass, doing so when you are incorrect makes you a stinky diarrhea with **** nuggets still stuck kind of ass.

Two things:
1) You need to install the Amazon Appstore app on your device
2) Purchase the app (yes I know it is free) through the desktop Amazon website. This will then tell Amazon's servers that you own the ability to use the app.
The Amazon Fire TV apps use license verification with the AppStore servers to verify that you have rights to use the app.

Hi,
The reason i asked for apk is because i cant download it directly from amazon appstore due to the geo restriction. Even with vpn it still failed hence i wanted to sideload with the extracted apk. Im sorry i kinda noob an new about this but all other sideloaded apk works fine except this.

I get that you are in a geo-restricted area. Unfortunately, Amazon makes it a bit more difficult to get Fire TV apps working correctly outside of Fire devices as is... and being geo-restricted doesn't help. :-/
I own a shield, which is why I responded in this thread, and I had been looking for an updated USA Network app myself.
There are technically ways to remove license verification, but I believe that type of discussion is frowned upon on XDA due to piracy concerns.
That said, I tried the apk myself as I own the app in my Amazon account. It doesn't go past the animated splash screen. There is probably more that needs to be fixed for it to work correctly.
