I'm currently working overseas, I was able to download Apps from Amazon before. But now Amazon detects I'm not in US so a message pops-up "Amazon Appstore is not available in your region".
I've tried several methods posted on XDA and other website but it's not working.
- Anyone knows of a successful work around?
- Can someone start a list of daily Free Apps APK, so I can grab the ones I like?
TIA
If you have the phone registered to your account you can just go to the amazon app store via your computer and "purchase" it that way.
I don't think anyone can post the apk because it might be considered piracy since you didn't "purchase" it for free and you don't own it.

You can try setting up a proxy for your phone. That might make it think you're in the U.S.

Since yesterday i am unable to download the free app of the day from the amazon appstore app, has anyone else faced this issue yet?
I used the fakenamegenerator.com workaround, i can see all my previously acquired apps, but i get this error " Amazon appstore is not yet available in your region" when im trying to download the new free app.
Should i downgrade the appstore to a previous version? my current version is 2.1.0

You need use a proxy or ssh with USA ips to purchase on PC. When purchase done, you can download it with amazon app store on ARC.
nah i wish to use it only on my phone.
There is no way to use it only on ARC now.
hey guys,
lately i'm getting a denial message about downloading free apps on amazon app store.
I use a american credit card and billing address too, so i'm wondering that they started to check the location of kindle fire, it's that right?
If so, i noticed that throught unblock-us service i can get instant video, but still not apps. Same error about geographic location.
There is a way (vpn or something) where i can download that free apps from amazon app store on my fire?
I searched on another posts, but still not getting a conclusive answer...
Thanks for the patience

thanks, will take a look.
Hopefully this is the best place to post such a question -
Is it possible to use the Amazon Kindle App Store in the UK? I can download free books from Amazon however when I try getting something like Angry Birds, I get the "the amazon app store is not available in your region" error.
Any ideas?
app store only in the us ...
workaround is vpn to us or use android market (should be the easier one)

Managed to use a web proxy to "buy" the apps from the Store and then download them as normal from the kindle.
Thanks!
if your question is answered ...
please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]
Having only VPN does not work.
For Appstore, you need to have a US issued credit card and actually you don't need any VPN or proxy to download apps.
I need some help.. I would love to get a Kindle Fire, but I don't know if it will work outside the states. I don't plan using Amazon services and would install AOSP ICS as soon as I get it but.. If I got it would I be able to install a custom ROM on it?

As long as you have working adb and fastboot, you don't even need to touch the kindle. (Other than to plug it in and install these things.)

It will work outside US, no matter you root/flash it or not, you can still browse web, read docs/books/comics, watch your own videos...
But you may not use the Amazon version of "Market" to get apps.
And for sure you can flash it, root it and enjoy almost full Android features.
P.S. I am a KF user in Hong Kong(which is apparently outside US), now using IceCreamSandwich on the KF and previously using CM7.
Thanks for help, ready to order one

UK user - to root or not to root!
Hope my message sits correctly in this thread...So, my KF has just arrived (UK) - yet to turn it on, and hoping for your advice please!
Do I:
1/ Turn it on, put in WIFI password, allow the OS update, see what works and what doesn't in the UK
2/ Enter some elaborate hoax by using USA IP address etc to try and get access to cloud, games etc
3/ Go for broke - root it and install Android 2.3. Have done this with a ZTE blade before, but the more I read, the harder it looks (especially when you factor in most 'how to' guides need access to the Amazon app store at least once to get started. Any UK specific walkthrough's available?
Concerned that option 1 will rule out options 2 or 3...
Would genuinely appreciate any advice or tips from 'one who knows'. FYI I got the Kindle via Ebay (new), £150 all in (and they threw in a UK plug, bless them).
Many thanks,
Qwertal 23
I'm in the UK and you can get most things to work on the fire bar the streaming.
For Access to the appstore set up a amazon.com account at a US address with a Dummy amex card number (google it) - If you want non free apps then buy a $ gift card with your uk amazon account and put it in the US account.
For Android market access with the stock Rom install TWRP and use the Modaco ROM.
If you set up the Amazon US account then you really don't need to do the TWRP stuff.
You also need to Install mobo player to play all formats of films in the UK. You can get the .apk with a google search.

The appstore doesn't check your ISP address by the way. Nor does the bookstore but the video sales does !!!!!!
If you are installing a CR then you don't have to worry, it runs perfectly. But you could also use the Stock Rom with an US Account.
Use kindle outside usa
i also want to use kindle outside USA... thanks for the information for that..

I'm no expert by any means, but I don't see why 1 would rule out 3 unless Amazon's come up with something newer than 6.2.2 that isn't rootable yet.
Just for the record, though, I don't use amazon services other than reading kindle books through the kindle app. On ICS.

I'm from Germany, too. To buy the free apps I'm using the Tor network with exit "noiseexit01[a,b,c,d]". It does work perfect. On the kindle fire you can use Orbot and set it up in transparent proxy mode (only proxy for the appstore).
For downloading use the normal ip without proxy. Works for me for more than half a year.
I dont have us creditcard so i'm using one my fakenamegenerator
i am living in Germany too. Before flashing ics I wanted to know whether there are any issues with wifi channel 14. Saw that mentioned in the known bug list of cyanogen mod.
is wifi working properly in Europe with the custom roms?

Check out "World Wide Kindle Fire" app it will allow you to use the amazon prime service outside u.s and also use amazon market.. see the guide in their site for full details.
Good luck.
Hi,
I'm from Germany too and have no us credit card.
How is it possible to install free apps ? I need an explorer to root my kindle fire.
Greetings Max

thx, it works.
Im sure this is a silly question but is there an actual regular app store or do you just have to browse though the panels?
There just doesnt seem to be many apps at all to install I figured there must be some better way of getting them more like playstore.
...
I cant get regular playstore working after following the guide. It either flashes and returns to apps list or occasionally goes to the account details screen but no further.
There's the Amazon app store.

Yes, there are other/new places to look for getting Fire TV apps, but unfortunately because of being new in this forum I'm not yet permitted to place external links in my posts (which would be the easiest way to assist) So, just do search on 'fire tv apps 2014' and/or 'fire tv app options' which will lead to some info that should hopefully help? In addition, I found a few recent and relevant links on the 1st page in a Google search for 'finding apps for fire tv'. But as far as there being a store solely for Fire TV apps, I'm not sure if there is one yet
If you can install from unknown sources,there is 1mobile,appchina,wandoujia,voga360,and aptoide.
You can also use evozi and/or apkleecher to get free apps from the Play Store.
And you can even get your purchased apps by signing up at the Evozi APK Downloader page!

Update: @jarayn informs me that it is not a launchable app.
And just to bring it full circle. The Amazon Appstore comes preloaded on the AFTV. It's just very hidden. This is the location on the latest FW.
Go to: Settings / 4) Applications / Manage All Installed Applications / Apptore ( Just scroll down till you find it & launch)

Thats not a launchable app on my fire tv.
Are you saying you can open that and actually browse through apps?
What other "treasures" await those poor schmucks or pre-rooted winners who get the latest firmware?

Humn... Didn't try to open it. Guess it is there but everything is dealt thru the UI. Wonder if there is another app to sideload that might act like an actual appstore. No point though....
I side-loaded the regular appstore apk from Play. Kinda messed things up. Had to Unzip Rbox's pre-rooted ROM to retrieve the correct one from Apps. Then had to R/W with Root Explorer to remove the side-loaded one and replace with the correct one.
Be careful messing with AFTV specifc apps.
