Download US Only Apps To Your Android - No Root Required

A few weeks ago, I taught you how to download region-specific apps (such as US only) to your Android. That particular method involves rooting your phone and losing your warranty. Today I'm going to teach you how to do the same without rooting your phone.

That's right.

You can download regional applications straight to your Android without the risk of bricking it or losing your warranty.

Now this is something I discovered by accident. Thus, I can't guarantee it works for all area-specific applications. However, it's worth a try. Anyway, it's very easy to do. Whether or not it works for you I would love to hear your feedback on the comments below!

Prerequisites

• Android 2.1 and higher

HOW TO ACCESS US-ONLY (AND OTHER AREA-SPECIFIC) APPS ON YOUR ANDROID

Step 1: Download AppBrain App Market from Google Play (free)

Step 2: Launch AppBrain

Go through the start-up process. No need to sign up but it's up to you, really.

Step 3: On AppBrain, search for an area-specific application

A good example is Blogger for Android which is limited to specific regions like the US and UK.

Step 4: Select the app you are looking for

Click "Install".

You will be redirected to Google Play only this time, you now have access to the regional app.

Step 5: Click "Install" or purchase the app if it's paid

Then, wait for the app to finish downloading.

I know this worked on me because if I search for Blogger on Google Play Store, the app doesn't show. It only appears when using the AppBrain App Market. If this technique doesn't work for you, you can always try Market Enabler. But as previously mentioned it needs a rooted device. Dowloading from third-party app markets is no longer an option these days. Haven't you heard? They got nabbed by NBI.
